Jin Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I've found the last few seasons to be weak. Still enjoying One Piece (though I read the comic also). New season is about to start so I think I'll check out Darker Than Black second season and Kampfer (who wouldn't wnat to watch some strange transgender fighting comedy...yeah, done before with Ramna but still.)

dreamweaver13 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Watched 2 episodes of Hataraki Man. hmm... i'm guessing as a Jdrama, this would work (specially with a popular lead actress to play the part), but as anime... meh. On a brighter note, watching KOR tv series. already into episode 5. way to go old school!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Yah a show named after a Mylene song Oh and Armed Librarians, can't wait to see that!... Seriously though, only thing there that makes me jump is the new Mahoromatic special, I hope we get that, as well as a domestic release of the upcoming Mahoro-bluray! Actually, is New Three Musketeer's a Gonzo production? I'm still hoping they get around to Hamlet. Edited September 23, 2009 by Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiroikaze Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 That's interesting, an anime with koreans as the main characters. Not too bad of a season. What's "TO"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darker Than Black looks interesting to me. Maybe sort of Witch Hunter Robin-esque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 That's interesting, an anime with koreans as the main characters. Not too bad of a season.

shiroikaze Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Er, easily the worst season in the past couple of years. Meh, maybe for you. But there's a couple I'm interested in. An adaption of 2001 Nights. I shall look this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbstr Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Darker Than Black looks interesting to me. Maybe sort of Witch Hunter Robin-esque? Have you seen the first season? It's decent.

wolfx Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Darker Than Black looks interesting to me. Maybe sort of Witch Hunter Robin-esque? Its quite awesome actually.

shiroikaze Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) Chinese Electric Batman? Main character is Chinese, dresses in black and in a mask, swings around with a grappling... dagger, and can shock people. He's pretty cool.

I'm so lucky. I caught most of this one when the network formerly known as Internatonal Channel aired it. It's some nice work. One thing about Captain Tyler, just like The Slayers' Gourry, is that man is a tactical genius. Do not match wits against Tyler, because you will lose. Tyler's irresponsibe, not stupid.

So yeah, I'll check out the anime. The novel is MONSTROUS As far as Koei and the Three Kingdoms, I think it's what put them on the map. The first Koei game I played was "Destiny of an Emperor" when a friend rented it on his NES, and it's based off the ROTK (with liberties, of course). Then he later got the strategy game that Koei has relied upon for so long as a series, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." I've played that series off and on ever since then. Later, came across another jewel that came to the states, "Nobunaga's Ambition." Those 8 & 16 bit days were quite fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it wasn't the longest novel I've ever read (single novel, not a series); that would be Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time," but yeah...2300 pages, give or take a few. I felt like I conquered Everest when I finished it. Then I went on and read "The Water Margin" and "Journey to the West," and I'm currently eyeing "Dream of the Red Chamber." I'm surprised there is no "Water Margin" anime (at least, none that I know of). It seems ripe for such treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-ZeroOne Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Theres no "Water Margin" anime (or rather, not one that I'm aware of) but a 70s live action adaptation was popular in the UK in the early 80s, along with "Monkey"...

I've heard of that one, but I've never seen it. I remember seeing one of the Shaw Brothers "Water Margin" movies, however, a long, long time ago (I'd completely forgotten about it until I read the book, and suddenly remembered portions of it from the movie). But it WOULD make a great anime, don't you think? The only obstacle is that there aren't enough sexy girls in it, but you could say the same thing about "Three Kingdoms."

Rbstr Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) I just watched Mahoromatic. Not only at the end of each episode do you have to be reminded of how many days she's got left but...I guess my take on that ending is that he's dead they both end up spirits IE. the haunted school episode. Mainly because Matthew says he/she/it's leaving behind a memory. Timeskip Misato was badass though...stabbed though the chest and thinking about picking up a prostitute. I think the only strait up happy Gainax endings are Abenobashi and FLCL. Everything else is bittersweet at best.
