    It isn't staff, it is just the idea of watching anime while it is airing in general.
  2. DuelGundam2099
    After finishing VVV I am really skeptical as to whether or not I will be giving this a watch.
  3. DuelGundam2099
    So I just watched the new episode of Akito The Exiled.
  4. DuelGundam2099
    Here are all there anime I have watched as of last night: So how much more must I watch until I have seen "enough"?

    3 and 5 out of 10 from me respectively, Twilight Samurai I'll look up. *looks up* I don't know man, looks like ultra-sad Oscar bait.

    I just watched Plastic Little because /m/ likes it from a cult perspective so I figured I'd give it a watch. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you expand on settings that are not based on real world places. The art style was good and it had decent action, but man did stupidity hit this with a ton of bricks: -Oh the main character is a gynoid but with organs and ages! Don't bother asking where the anti-bullet skin came from! -Lets wait several hours before saying why the military is chasing me! -Pointless fan service followed by a forced emotional moment to coincide with a moment from earlier that was not forced seem as such! -We hunt animals but we have a missile launching hovercraft! -Our job involves submarines, we only inform you half way in! -This is a colony underwater or above water but in the sky or something! -It is too dangerous to go! Okay lets go! (is the secondary cast just really fickle?) -Oh hey the military never bothered coming for us that night! -The main character's clock blows up her hotel room for no reason! Actually wait she lives on the submarine! -We switch from underwater to dry land between cuts! -The grapple gun the main character loses suddenly pops up! -The colony produces tornadoes and magma! -The military is too dumb to fire on an enemy craft in their territory! And nobody can aim! -The main villain is dumb enough not to disarm his opponent! (death by head shot no less!) -Thruster output suddenly vaporizes the military's entire armada! -Oh don't mind the colony, that giant fissure that destroyed the town took care of itself! -The end credits scene has a weird version of Moby Dick because we can! This feels more like an OVA compilation of a movie. It might not have been this bad if the writing was fixed up and they bothered building up the setting instead of having random tidbits thrown around all the time. This might have been decent if it did that. Second worst one shot OVA after Girl From Phantasia. Earlier I finished Chobits, specials in all. There is an actual good story in this, some episodes were well written, and the music has grown on me some. However it has many issues such as Hideki over reacting ALL THE TIME, the "antagonists" show up and do nothing until the last three episodes with a hamfisted exposition, origin explanation was hamfisted, way too much slice of life junk, mostly in the first half, way too many forced emotional moments (specifically sad ones) that have little to do with anything, the last episode was just a glorified clip show epilogue (and this series had two clip shows already), and the typical "I died, no wait I am back!". You can also tell this was on a budget, which did not help it. This could have worked better if it was cut down to half the episode count and paced plot points better instead of rushing a lot near the end. Chibits was actually amusing, why can't CLAMP do mascot short episode funnies? Finally there is Valvrave. HAHAHAHA! /m/ and Anime Suki have already shoved their hands up this anime's rectum and tore its organs out while beating it with a 3-wood. 1/10, worse anime I have ever watched, even worse than friggin' Puni Puni Poemii and when you are worse that loli bondage that is a feat.

    I was not being sarcastic, I do appreciate the information.
  8. DuelGundam2099
    Why thank you, GU-11.
  9. DuelGundam2099
    Anime52K8 is correct, I was being serious. Also what is a jidaigeki?
  10. DuelGundam2099
    I just got back from seeing it, best samurai movie I ever watched, ignore the silly critics, 'nough said.
  11. DuelGundam2099
    It has plenty of Macross references so I figured I might as well post it here! I may or may not donated a few pictures for it.
  12. DuelGundam2099
    I am going to watch this Friday, the critics can kiss it and have a Merry Christmas.
  13. DuelGundam2099
    Oh no, there goes the battlefield! Go go Zakuzilla! Yeeeeeeah!
  14. DuelGundam2099
    Yeah well, you never know.
  15. DuelGundam2099
    Earlier I watched Lightning Trap aka some Machine Robo spinoff that takes place in the OVA universe and it was just Die Hard with a scorpion mecha. Not bad although it could have been better. I also watched the new Kill la Kill. Is Trigger trying to make this bad on purpose? And geez samurai guy, you can unsew your eyes already.
  16. DuelGundam2099
    Maybe Macross World can have its own Top 50 Giant Anime Robots to put it all to rest?
  17. DuelGundam2099
    Giant Gorg has episodes 24 and 25 subbed recently, one more episode left to be subbed! With that said I watched them, the twist was predictable, but it was still well executed. Yesterday I finished Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos. Good parts: Leina and Triple Jim grew a pair and guts, some of the new robots (Rockdon, Rockgiran, Land Commander 5, Gattai Saurer, and Pro Truck Racer) were neat, episodes 39 to 44 were rather well written, episodes were less inconsistent in the animation department, and Gadess was a pretty good villain. Unfortunately it had more than enough bad parts: (Blue Jet and Rod Drill never really improved, Devil Satan 6 once exploded (with acid) just to come back again good as new (continuity error much?), the twist that Garudi was Rom's older brother was handled very poorly (they never built that up or hinted it or ANYTHING), Gadess's death was so quick instead of having a real battle that it felt anticlimactic, and finally THE LAST THREE EPISODES WERE CLIPSHOWS. LAST THREE. WHY DID YOU NOT STOP AT 44? "Oh but Duel what about that final shot that makes Rom and Leina seem incesty?" What? 15 seconds after they thought their armor was torn off and they were in space? Seemed more like they were trying to stick together and not get lost IN SPACE. Unfortunately I cannot give this series a score or anything just yet as the story concludes in a three part OVA. Because said OVA was never subbed and I have more interest in finishing some other things I am in no rush to conclude it. I just got to episode 9 in Chobits. Ugh, terrible comedy and the Hideki won't stop over reacting to EVERYTHING. I'd be lying if I said the mini persicom (Sumomo, probably spelling that wrong though) was not adorable though, one thing I will give CLAMP credit for is that they can make cute mascots. At least they seem to be hinting Chi having some mysterious origin, which so far has the potential to be interesting. Not holding my breath though. And then there is Valvrave, latest episode with prevailing mob logic and Saki's comeback was.... Not going to say what, but I was not impressed. Add a little logic fail and I can safely say this lost what chance it had of getting a 4 out of 10 from me. Maybe I'm being hard on this series since I miss Mecha Talk (I should show you guys the poetry I make about that, not going to though), maybe it is genuinely insulting and poorly constructed, regardless I will say that the mecha and action deserve a much better anime than this. Oh yeah and

    Destiny is awesome, give it a try.
  19. DuelGundam2099
    It was made by a group of fans actually.
  20. DuelGundam2099
    Money is only a factor if the military does not just steal what it needs for no expense and just forces slave labor, of course.
  21. DuelGundam2099
    Reiji is not dirty, he wanted payback.
