wolfx Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Watching K-ON! lovin' it. Nice bowl. I've been watching Valkyria Chronicles. I even started playing the game because of it. Both are quite awesome, great cast and so on. Alicia is quite different though, and Isara's eyes are inexplicably huge. The anime was kinda disappointng in some ways for me. Hopefully it picks up the quality (which seems to be degrading more and more on each episode) and minor characters get a more prominent role instead of just being in the background.

Gui Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 [...] I suggest playing the GBA games (all localized by Atlus) to know the full story. Oh well, and the OVA series (3 episodes) is quite good. I didn't like the OVA series: maybe I'll give another try to it one day though As for the games, I don't own a GBA but I wish the PS2 ones to be released in the west before the end of times... At least one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REbirth Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 So far, only COBRA seems promising. Might check out Umineko. Also, apparently, GAINAX teams up with Seiji Mizushima (FMA, Gundam 00) to make a new anime project: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-...izushima-gainax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenHawk Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Just finished Macross Frontier. Absolutely LOVED it. Honestly, my favorite Macross series of all. The last 5 episodes felt rather rushed, especially with the coup d'etat and pirates thing and everything, but I guess they were trying to squeeze into that 25 episode mark for the 25th anniversary. Fantastic final episode, too. I think that what impressed me most here, forgetting whether someone likes the characters or concepts in one Macross sequel versus another, was that I thought the background music was done by far the best in this one. Really enhanced every moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Started watching Sengoku Basara. Based on a capcom game, the anime is all types of crazy OTT GAR and action. Abit annoyed by the OTT-ness but i think its worth a watch. And again Oda Nobunaga is the evil villain. Is there any reason why he's depicted as some evil devil lord in fiction?

Bri Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 ANN and Animesukireport that next week the first episode of Haruhi Suzumiya season 2 *may* be broadcasted, based on info from Moonphase. The new episodes would be injected in (or released after as was originally thought) the current rerun of the first season expanding it from 14 to 28 episodes.

Gui, don't forget to watch the 3-part OVA if you haven't done so yet. Re-watched Genesis Climber Mospeada again. This show isn't holding up as well as I thought. Blue Gender is next on my list.

Ghost Train Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Watching MS Igloo 2 atm. 2 episodes in. It's definitely better than what I expected.

Noriko Takaya Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well, since I'm on vacation this week and doing absolutely nothing, I am going through the entire Death Note series, which I have never seen. Then I have the three movies to contend with after that. Before I started Death Note, I just finished Last Exile, which I enjoyed immensely.

Then I have the three movies to contend with after that. Before I started Death Note, I just finished Last Exile, which I enjoyed immensely. Last Exile did turn out to be a pretty fun series, didn't hear much about it, but I wound up picking up the thinpak because I liked the box art, and look of the series. Definately a pleasant surprise. Only thing weirder was that I watched it and Overman King Gainer in the same month, which fit together strangely well.
