Agent Aika was mediocre and the sequels were detestable. I have also never seen Robotech so I'm not watching a sequel movie. Puni Puni won't happen until I see Excel Saga. As for E.Y.E.S., which I am not going to lie does remind me of Ultraman Cosmos, lets see. *searches* *finds it* Yeah, that can work.

I just finished Trigun.... Not much payoff even if the final battle was kind of good. They could have also explained what exactly the plants were and why Vash and Knives had free will. Not only that, but why is the series called Trigun anyway? Nobody had three guns or anything.
On that note, because the other 3/4ths of SD Gundam Force won't be available for a while, I am going to let YOU GUYS decide what I should see next! Here are the choices and with brief descriptions of what I think I know:
-Another (some anime released last year about a girl with an eye patch and paranormal stuff)
-Blood + (some anime that has vampires; I did not enjoy The Last Vampire but I thought the live action adaption was good)
-Black Lagoon (some anime about mercenaries that do not pertain to the Universal Horror classic starring Gillman)
-Death Note (some anime about shinigamis and killer notebooks starring a guy named after a letter)
-Cowboy Bebop (some anime about a Keanu Reeves guy featuring jazz and a toxic blob in one episode; many call it the best anime ever for some reason)
-Berserk (some anime set in the medieval ages starring manly men and monsters; abridged by the same guy that abridged Escaflowne)
-Guilty Crown (some anime from two years ago about something or other starring some chick in a wheelchair that gets kidnapped a lot; also has a Christmas special)
-Hellsing (some anime about vampires starring the son of Dracula and nazis)
-Inukami! (some anime about fairies and sex jokes or something)
-Cybuster (the infamous adaption of the Banpresto original featuring name changes and supposedly a whiny blonde taking the place of Valsione's pilot.... Crap I forgot her name. Granzon and Shu are in it too)
-Miami Guns (some cop anime about rollerblade girls set in Chris Guanche's backyard)
-Night Head Genesis (some psychological anime with horror and crime about possessed criminals)
-Outlaw Star (some anime that was on Toonami about a guy with an X scar going through space)
-Haruhi Suzumiya (some anime about middle schoolers fighting an alien cricket and the main character having god powers or something)
-Girls und Panzer (some anime released late last year about tanks with none of the pilots having Y chromosomes, probably 'cause the club is sexist)
-Great Teacher Onizuka (some anime about a teacher being funny)
-VS Knight and Fire 40 Fresh (some anime that is a sequel to VS Lamune and 40 and the only anime to appear in the Another Century Episode games I have not seen)
Now I'm off to be morbidly depressed 'cause nobody wants a kicked puppy.
-
Hope you like stupid ecchi garbage Gubaba 'cause that is all it is.

Up to episode 21 in Trigun. I will admit, it did get better, but still nowhere to the point of "best anime ever" level status. I also just watched some weird three episode OVA called Kigurumikku V3, a magical girl parody of old toku shows and WOW was it bad. Aside from a few jokes I kind of thought were funny there was nothing good about it, just bad fight scenes with random dialogue, too much fanservice (some of it being loli related, ewe), horrendous execution, and constantly dropped plot lines. Second worst anime I have ever seen, I would say first but Nanoha still clings to that title and still does so many things worse. *shrivels* At least this did not have bad music.
-
Awe, no I'm only 3 stars.
-
I will stick to the end as I have never dropped an anime in my life; albeit I came really close with the first Nanoha series and Goldran. *shrivels* I will give Trigun credit of not having anything "bad" about it and I'll admit Vash is a neat character. I simply wouldn't say "Top 5 of all time forever etcetra".
And lets get this out of the way: I am not a troll, I am not retarded, I do not have any mental disorders, I am not stupid, and I am not a hipster. I actually sit down, watch whatever it is I am watching in it's entirety, look at it from the intended paradigm for what it is trying to accomplish, judge it by it's own merits and see how it stacks up to other entities of the genre within peers of similar budget class, target audience, and time of creation. My judgment boils down to A) Does it find a proper primary audience, be it the intended primary audience or a solid substitute B) Are the techniques executed well enough to convey whatever it is it is trying to do and C) Does it click with me.
-
Will my opinion be valid once I finish the series?
-
I am not a troll though, these are my real opinions.
-
Seems more like slice of life junk.
-
You get one too.
-
I can fix that. *gives you 5 stars*

Currently up to ep 10 of Trigun.......... Kind of boring. I thought I was getting a sci-fi western with action, but all I am getting is badly executed comedy set in the old west with a sci-fi element here and there and the occasional gun battle just to remind the audience that it wants their attention. I liked the sci-fi western anime when it was called Xabungle, I liked the refined version when it was called Ryu Knight, and I liked the modern CGI enhanced version when it was called Gun X Sword.
-
Well.... That is what I thought.... I wonder if the director really is a sad ending spammer though.
Earlier I watched the first episode of Majestic Prince just to see what everyone was yammering about. Good action but way too much fluff? Yep, pretty much, I can also tell Pinkie's going to get annoying. I also started watching the mythical anime that is Trigun and got up to the first 6 eps. I have to say.... Good action, but not interesting, what do people see in this exactly?
-
What does that have to do with whether or not an anime gets noticed?
-
If what I heard is true then it is because the director supposedly has a habit of making sad endings and that's why nobody gave a flying fecal mound about it.
-
Man you have no appreciation of the classics.
I do, I am simply not a sheeperson and have my own will.
-
I just finished some six episode series called Golden Boy. Not that interesting and it was kind of annoying, but at least it had a neat final episode. Junk Boy was funnier anyway.
-
Real shame I am not trolling, I really did enjoy it.

Nobody wants a new TDSA for Christmas because TDSA is a tedious ace. That and episode 13 is now available.
Shoot and Zero keep climbing up the giant plateau when Shoot comes across the crystal jellyfish from a couple episodes back.
Help! We need more budget!
Zero tells him to CTFD as they are Mmms (yes that is what the dub calls them), spirits that dwell around caves. This leads to Zero talking about how the griffon is one of four mythical beasts of Lacroa alongside a phoenix, a unicorn, and some other creature that I cannot pronounce.
Wayo wayo wayo wayo! Draw like an Egyptian!
After Tallgeese acts evil and Baku and CG keep climbing we see Shoot and Zero still making their trip with the Mmms following them.
At least wait for The Asylum to knockoff Metroid first.
However, another giant Bigro appears out of the rocks and makes off with Shoot. Zero can't do anything until he sees the banana Shoot eye humped two episodes ago in the rocks. He uses the Bigro's weakness for organic matter to use as bait.
DON! DON! DONKEY KONG! YEEEEEEEEEAH.
Why that would work when the Bigro has a much bigger chunk of what he is attracted to I have zero clue. Meanwhile the oa trio somehow got back to where they were before falling down and Tallgeese throws their fake Spirit Egg at them.
Faker than the sad excuses for comedy on /a/.
Before Tallgeese can do anything, the gundam force arrives to crack a few jokes at him while the oas talk without moving their mouths much (like in the last two eps).
Almost as bad as in Jaws: Unleashed.
Tallgeese uses a fire summoning spell to burn their costumes off revealing the real Spirit Egg.
Since he only worked on Arjuna at the time there was plenty left.
In an attempt to separate the object from the fiend, pedo knight throws the banana on top of Tallgeese's head to distract him.
If only you guys knew how much truth was in that text.
After the Bigro comes up from the ground and is sliced in half, the Gundam Force and Tallgeese spam their powers for a while until he and Zero descend into a pit. Pedo knight throws his sword to cause a stalactite to fall upon the sword's impact.
An accurate representation of the effort thrown into Kampfer.
Zero escapes his own trap, Tallgeese gets buried under rocks (most likely still alive as they imply later), and the Spirit Egg does this.
Or maybe it is the microwaves from Gundam X, who knows.
The oas acknowledge Zero as Lacroa's savior and send everyone home until the Gundam Force is ready to take on the Dark Axis.
That is the power of Sprint Network.
Before they go home the oa trio petrifies because they were actually sorcerers of stone. Shoot gets sad and has an illusion of everyone eating cake before they are greeted back.
Did it not occur to you I was a diabetic?
And we still don't know what happened to the princess.
-
Finished X a couple days ago. Very well done series! I also finally got to watch the Nadia movie, way better than the series ever tried by FAR, much like with Nadesico.
-
Depressed am I in an endless night for there is no dawn for the one called I, episode 12 is here though.
Starting where the last episode was, Zero tries to fight him only for the Latoratar combo Tallgeese to lay a beating on him.
Quite suggestive from a dialogue perspective.
The oa trio ask that Tallgeese lay down his arms and griffon and in exchange they will give him something called a Spirit Egg. As Zero's pleas to stop them indicate (and Baku pointing out the obvious) the Spirit Egg is somethingTallgeese has been looking for with rarity and mythical proportions comparable to seeing Shadow Cell using his cap locks.
We tried it with a gallamimus, but Gwangi ate the guy.
Tallgeese, being the George Bush allegory, does not negotiate with enemies and uses a Leo to steal it after throwing pedo knight into a bottomless pit.
Effective against everything but graboids!
Tallgeese lives up to his title of Tempest Knight by summoning a tornado that sends the other heroes down a hole because he is evil like that. Shoot and the oas managed to land in some place that resembles the outskirts of Mesa City from Sly Cooper and The Thievious Racoonous minus sunlight. Speaking of which, they land in ultra-cartoony fashion.
POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER!
The four of them meet up and Shoot tries to contact CG with his phone with the oas commenting on the phone being magical until they realize they cannot reach him.
I knew I should have switched to Vonage!
As the humans try to search for them, Zero finds out he has no means to conjure his magical powers, probably because he has been hanging around guys too much and forgot what women looked like. CG and Baku find themselves in a cave where Baku reveals he has a severe phobia of ghosts even when Captain Gundam tells him to STFU and CTFD.
STOP MAKING BAKUMETSUMARU SO UNMANLY, BANDAI!
Shortly after, Shoot is chased by a giant Bigro through the desert until Zero shows up to fight him.
Time for a chase scene!
Their efforts to fight seem futile until Zero finds a beam saber CG dropped earlier and uses it to slay the Dark Axis minion.
Beam sabers: No defense for them exists for some reason.
Shoot tries to convince the oas Zero is their savior, but they do not believe him as they decide to climb upward. Meanwhile CG and Baku find the corpses of none other than Vayate and Mercurius.
Only of the AU variety no less.
Instead of anything actually coming out and fighting, CG uses his vulcan guns, with Baku jumping in surprise, to find a way out using space distortions. After some calculations he throws Baku and flies himself into these rifts to climb up because he thinks Shoot will do the same.
Approved by Delta Airline because we charge outrageous prices and you cannot do a thing!
Tallgeese meanwhile acts like a silly villain until he opens the Spirit Egg, which he claims opens the Spirit Tree, and finds this hologram inside revealing it was a fake.
I could make a Penn State reference but it would not be tasteful.
After Tallgeese yells we see the other heroes climbing up with two of the three oas thinking Zero might be an okay guy.
Just a thousand bottles of beer to go until we reach the top of mount drunk.
Aaaaaaand that is it! Next episode concludes this story!

I am up to episode 20 in X. WOW, I did not expect CLAMP of all people to make an anime that is actually pretty solid. I cannot think of a legit complaint although this series could have had some more action in it. Eps 15 and 16 FINALLY connect it to Tokyo Babylon.... Which still makes me wonder what exactly Subaru was fighting at the time. On that note, why the hell does every guy in this series have such gigantic shoulders?
I also watched some short film people have been gushing over called Little Witch Academia................. This was horrendous. I will give it credit for a nice first two minutes, the art style, and creature designs, but good lord was this annoying as hell. The characters are either all (ALL AS IN ALL OF THEM) extremely obnoxious, extremely stupid, extremely mopey, or extremely cruel (usually in some combo) and the comedy was flat to say the least. Remember when I said Casshern Sins was one of the worst anime I'd ever seen? I softened up some as I let it sink in. This probably won't get that, so I can say this is one of the worst anime I have ever seen. To think this is from the same people that made Inferno Cop.

The following contains a borderline suicidal man's whacky thoughts and ultra-horrid jokes; better known in the english language as time to review episode 11.
The episode starts off with Professor Dellwood (lazy kid) testing the effects of the dimensional opener now that it has been complete. They start with a strawberry much to Bakumetsumaru's dismay and/or lack of things fruity.
At least it is more advanced than what North Korea has.
Baku gets testy as the scale of things to throw into subspace has him last in line even after a GM. After going bananas about a banana going next Zero uses his magic on a set.
If Rapeman wrote children's jokes.
However, a portal that emits non-harmful lightning sends the gundams and Shoot through (with a banana Shoot eye humps for no reason); eventually they find themselves in a knockoff of the crystal mine set where you fight Metal Mario in the original Super Smash Brothers.
Golgotha returns from Ultraman Ace to SD Gundam Force, what a leap!
Zero flies off and Captain Gundam walks on an invisible path his sensors can pick up.
I can say that from first hand experience, but only second hand smoke.
Meanwhile, Tallgeese finally appears beyond a mention in the zakozako show as he talks to both the Dark Axis commander and a minion that looks like a cross between a ghost and the G Excellent from Tobikage. He also has a theme or fetish for feathers.
This guy has some serious Guts.
Failed Berserk puns aside the gundams find a ruined castle where Zero acts emo because the area is Lacroa (I thought is was spelled differently but oh well). Baku says sorry until CG detects some enemies.
Seriously, the main gundam does so little in this series!
The enemies are camouflaged, but CG can see right through them and everyone starts attacking the enemies who happen to be leos.
Unfortunately it only works when you break the fine china; then again bootleg gunpla is everywhere.
The leos are revealed to be just dice given a mobile suit-like form because they're magical. Baku notices three rogue leos heading into a cave and everyone falls after only to be revealed that they are actually Lacroa survivors in award winning cosplay.
Cardboard performance from a leo is nothing new.
The three survivors explain their story while three jellyfish fly by. I am not kidding they actually cut to that.
This is to distract you from how low the budget got.
Zero tries to explain that he is a knight of the princess yet the three of them do not believe him and with someone that acts like a metro pedo that loves flowers calling themselves a knight I could not blame them.
Unfortunately Megan's Law does not apply to Lacroa.
Zero convinces them with candy err I mean some rare "princess rose".
I will even have Tony Stewart drive me!
The three call themselves names that rhyme with "oa" before Tallgeese descends with leos surrounding everyone.
My feathers are so FAAAAAAAAAABULOUS!
Tallgeese acts like a dick since he hid the currently petrified princess, hopefully not at Deviant Art, and summons a shield that summons a Griffon.
Goldran called, they want Kaiser back.
The griffon kills the leos for no reason as Zero complains that the monster is wild. Tallgeese sees no issue in this and performs gattai with the beast.
Kawamori has improved since 0083.
Tallgeese prepares to attack.... And then the episode is over! Told you this was a three parter!

So since Sunday I've been going through the TV version of X and just finished ep 10. This is kind of creepy: It is clearly shojo junk, it is made by none other than the infamous CLAMP (who names themselves after tools and fails to use that?), people usually hate this anime albeit it is more toward the movie version (which was kind of bad but not to the extent everyone says it is, much like Alone in The Dark), and the music is not that great. Yet, somehow.... I don't detest it; if anything if I find it.... Kind of good. It reminds me of Gundam Seed and Destiny in a cosmic sort of way (maybe it is the visuals). The narrative is much better presented than in the movie, it is not that girly (somehow), there is well done character development, and the pacing.... is GOOD. Not "decent", not "tolerable", not "bad", not "horrendous", actually good. Two big questions:
1. Where the f**k was THIS crew when Magic Knight Rayearth was being done? I can understand the OVAs and music vids CLAMP did, but for pete sake, 49 episodes of THAT could have used whoever was working on THIS. Plus Masami Obari and Toshiki Hirano, of course.
2. How exactly does this connect to Tokyo Babylon? Not just from character perspectives, but from supernatural spirit perspectives, if X has 7 members on each side, what were the demons screwing things up in TB supposed to be? Earth dragon minions?
On an unrelated note, looky there I hit 100 posts!

Why? All I did was ask a question as to why something was titled something irrelevant.
I can't find it at MAL or AniDB so I guess I can't see it. As for Archer's suggestion, if nobody else makes one, sure I'll take on the note of death.
