Niu: Trainwreck almost sounds complimentary for Code Geass.

Niu · « **Reply #77 on:** April 11, 2008, 11:13:45 PM »

I am complimenting it by calling it a trainwreck though.

Shale · « **Reply #78 on:** April 12, 2008, 03:30:26 AM »

I refuse to believe that a show that produces this image isn't at least a funny trainwreck:

Woo, new avatar material for ID.

The trainwreck part is what makes Code Geass entertaining. "Stay turned to see how many crazy subplots Taniguchi can create (and maybe resolve) in one episode this week!"

Geass: OIC NIU.
Yuhh whatever! Taniguchi gimme more Schneizel. :< Poor beloved 2nd Prince will be floating about in this hueg sea of characters. z_z

Druaga Ep2: SHITSUX.

Monochrome Factor- Wow, the yaoi fan girls sure are hungry for man. The manga was BL free you know? And now Shirogane gets turned into a pervert?

Some more first impressions on this season...

Kamen no Maid Guy- Hilarious. Premise is a little worn, if twisted in a new way. Gangster's daughter is about to come of age, decides she needs extra protection. Assigns her and her brother maids to do housework and guard them (since the maids moonlight as ninjas). The little brother gets a hot woman, of course. The girl? She gets a psychotic, musclebound oaf. Long on fanservice (that doesn't tease!), tops on comedy. Actually pretty funny, and hot woman maid's weapon of choice is a nailbat. Extra points.

Soul Eater- Stylish as all hell. I'll give Bones that. Animation style just oozes cool and the fights are awesome. The show itself seems a bit on the generic side, but we'll see as time goes on.

Allison to Lillia- It's like someone brought a Miyazaki movie to the small screen. Normally I'd be bored, but fortunately this is not a Miyazaki production. A very, very good retro feel from this show, from the character designs to the plotting. Good stuff, REALLY looking forward to the rest of this. Probably my pick for the season thusfar.

Nabari no Ou- Another sort of generic looking show, based on the first ep. Seems mostly to be fodder for yaoislash, but there was enough quality there to keep watching for at least a little longer.

Niu · « **Reply #84 on:** April 15, 2008, 07:25:01 AM »

Soppy, Soul eater's plot well not move on until ep.4
The first 3 ep follows the original one shot manga, so nothing much in the first three ep outside the animation.

As for Nabari, I think the op and ed haven't make themselves clear on Yoite and Miharu. And in case you are mistaken, Aizawa has nothing to do with the yaoislash. Furry might be, but not yaoi.

Code Geass episodes leaked out ahead of time HAR.
And how Sunrise requests youku to remove the leak is just liek that one scene in episode 2.... Gee, is this on purpose or what? Now to see whether if the rumor is true, that episode 3 is getting redo.
Nevertheless, Lolo is such a mine, it is so very entertaining.

mia~ · « **Reply #86 on:** April 16, 2008, 12:47:10 AM »

At this rate, eps 21-25 will be aired in like 3mos. 8D!
EPIC TANIGUCHI SCHEDULING POWER.

Niu · « **Reply #87 on:** April 16, 2008, 07:54:10 AM »

I've heard the following solutions
1. Air ep4 first and redo ep3
2. Skip 2 weeks, and air three episodes at one on the 3rd week. (The initial leak is up to ep5)

Cotigo · « **Reply #88 on:** April 16, 2008, 05:35:19 PM »

No, I am not, and please stop asking me. Jesus. It's like every day, too. I'm browsing the forums and then all of the sudden the forum faeries ask me "ARE YOU WATCHING ANY ANIME [NEW]?" so I'm always like "No go away" but then they never do and it keeps asking and I'm still not watching any and I just want them to leave me alone and why won't it fucking forum faeries always bugging me about Anime get a life you program or don't.

Better be careful. Zenny's on his period.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #90 on:** April 21, 2008, 08:38:11 PM »

Yeah, I'm definately sticking with Kurenai. Ep 3 features a 2 minute three-way argument that's both easy to follow and hilarious. Stuff like that is really hard to do, so I'm definately keeping with it.

The ending theme has also grown on me. I've always liked that art style too.

Niu · « **Reply #91 on:** April 22, 2008, 02:18:04 AM »

Soul Eater- Miyano as Kid is sweet. Ahh sweet Miyano. Cid and Dr.Stein should be in the coming episode too. Let's pray Stein's VA would do him justice, an insane psychopath hss to sounds like an insane psychopath.

Macross F- ....moe..... I... can't find any other words to describe this show. The moe substance is just handled so well, I might just buy it and follow it.

Kurenai- Errr... this'll be a rant. I am a bit disappointed at the character interactions so far. They felt unnecessarily unhappy, at least compare to the novel. Especially the interaction between Shinkurou and Ginko... god, why are they so depressed??? A common understanding between those two seems to be missing.
Yuno is the same, why did she get so depressing too? She should be more violent in her behavior. And she getting retcon into that she didn't know Murasaki at first might make things worse.
Geee, I can't this depressing mood anymore.

Nabari no Ou- Wow, they really cut the manga down to fit things in, or just do it to get Yoite appear faster? But anyway, making Tobari much more of a hypocrite than he is in the manga seems like a good touch. Making Kotarou more suspicious than he is in the manga is an even better touch. But ugh, to Yukimi's voice, soooo boring. And don't let me even starting on Saiga, only two lines and she is already sending chills up to my spine. God, is she going to destroy this show like she did to Soul taker?

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #92 on:** April 22, 2008, 02:44:49 AM »

What, Niu? Were you watching Episode 3? She knew exactly who Murasaki was. It was plastered all over her face. She just didn't say it. Unless she was supposed to have met her before/been friends with her, it's pretty apparant that she at least knew who she was.

Niu · « **Reply #93 on:** April 22, 2008, 03:20:47 AM »

She does? Odd for me not noticing that. Then phew on that part than.

Grave of the Fireflies:
Well, uh. I can't say that it's the most upbeat movie of all time? I don't mind sorrowful things in general - or at least I don't think I do - but this just didn't click with me at all. Not helped by the fact that Setsuko is freakishly ugly. I like the concept, just...

My Neighbour Totoro:
Completely bizarre. It never ends up really going anywhere, but it's fine enough in spite of this. The father is going to run into trouble later on in life if he continues believing every single thing his children say.

Kiki's Delivery Service:
I went into this expecting insane delivery antics and I was highly disappointed as she only makes 5-odd deliveries the entire film and only one of them really contains any antics to speak of. It does manage to go somewhere but that somewhere isn't very far. It did at least remind me that it has been far too long since I saw any Sabrina (the show, not the cartoon).

Only Yesterday:
Had no idea what this was going to be about and found it was pretty good. The overall type of story seems really familiar but I can't for the life of me think of what I'm thinking of. In any case, the worst problem I had with it was that the art was a tad ugly at times so yeah, somewhat awesome. I'd say it's the best out of these four.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Yes.

Code Geass - *Watches the first episode.*

...

...

.........

*EPIC JAW DROP.*

Dear god, this is a horrible, horrible trainwreck. I don't think MTV could create pacing more spastic and nonsensical than that, the plot points are absolutely incomprehensible, the writing is terrible and the entire thing screams camp.

...

I'm sold for the entire season. A series where a green-haired plot device of doom = fancy lenses may be the biggest trainwreck this side of XS3 fanservice, but it's a goddamn entertaining trainwreck.
