General Discussion

I noticed we don't have a general discussion thread for anime. We have one for manga and we used to have one for anime, but that kind of died out. So here's a general discussion thread for anything relating to anime. Discuss whatever anime you're watching now, whatever episode you watched last, post any questions, etc.

I finally got around to watching Rebuild of Evangelion: 1.0 YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE. The first in a series of four movies which retell the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series. Watching it with current, up-to-date animation is goooood! Of course, a few things have been cut from the TV series but it still works surprisingly well. Judging from the trailer for the second movie quite a few things have been added as well. Which is great news because I'm liking what I see.

Dont watch Monster, the dub is horrible and boy do I mean horrible it sounds as if it was recorded of a phone. Monster is good very dark and long storyline but it drags on a little.
They changed the first opening of Naruto for the dub, that sucks the first Naruto opening owns that in every way possible, ROCKS ftw.

The best openings are this one and this one and why the **** am I not able to watch Bleach opening 1 on YouTube? Not available in my country - ********!

The best ending that comes to mind is actually Soul Eater ED 4.

Best parody opening - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWRCSFLvxw0 :D

I watched the first four episodes of Monster last month, they were pretty good but I can see how it may drag on a little. I might just read the manga since it's done by the same guy who did 20th Century Boys. Although there'd be so much dialogue...

i aint really talked about what anime i been watching recently.

Butttttttttttt

I finished the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya liek 2 weeks ago, that was good. Wasnt the best thing ever but it was good.

Now am watchin trigun, on episode 10 and i love it so far. <3

Trigun is fantastic. It's also one of few series where the protagonists reason for not wanting to kill anyone despite being a super awesome mega skilled gunslinger is actually believable and makes sense. An iconic hero in Vash, and an iconic villain in both Legato (the most badass character EVER) and Knives. If you think it's good now then wait 'til later. It doesn't get any better than Trigun.

Right now I'm watching Seirei no Moribito after having it on-hold for a while. No idea why I had it on-hold though because it's amazing. One of, if not the best fantasy anime I've ever seen. Yes, better than Claymore!

Hence why I said if you think it's good now then wait 'til later. :8

When one villain is called Knives and when the other can control people with his mind you know they're going to be awesome. Met Nicholas D. Wolfwood yet? Another absolutely fantastic character right there, and just wait until the Gung-Ho Gun's are introduced! Wow, I just realised how good the characters in Trigun are. I'm so gonna buy it on DVD when I go to the Expo.

I demand no Gintama DVD release! Let it remain unlicensed! :evil:

By the way, did you see the results for that survey on the most desired live action movie/drama adaptation of a manga by Japanese fans?

1. Slam Dunk
2. One Piece
3. Kimi ni Todoke
4. Bokura ga Ita
5. Monster
6. Gintama
7. Ouran High School Host Club
8. Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai
9. Fullmetal Alchemist
10. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Japanese fans want to destroy their own creation with a Gintama live action movie! How is Gintama supposed to be done in live action!?
10-05-2009, 11:39 PM
Southe,

Nooo, Well i want funimation to do it. They always pick good voice actors for there dubs. and the subs are always correct. unlike the crap you get with viz dvds (naruto, bleach, death note) Series i need in my collection T.T

and yea im more concerned for One Piece ^^; Gintama is awesome and all but One Piece for me is like air, lol dont wanna be near me when oda finally finishes it.

Hate how they try make all these live actions moves id rather have cgi.. not some ****** live action movie. They ruined dragonball. now the death note rumour is zack efron to be light lol. another film ill be avoiding. atleast the jp ones were watch able

Anyone who doesn't like the second Death Note opening has no sense of awesome.

So I watched Origin: Spirits of the Past in Blu-ray yesterday. The animation was the because thing I've seen since 5 Centimeters Per Second, but it was quite an average movie. Nothing compared to The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

Yura Yura is terrible, to make it worse the storyline was terrible when that intro was aired.
Did anyone watch the latest Dragonball Kai episode, I just noticed the ending of DBK says Kamehameha.
I like the episode and I love the way there is no fillers :]

The most anime I watched in one day was 22 episodes of Bleach, back to back. No breaks. :8 And then 15 episodes back to back with no breaks the next day. That was when I first started the series. :P I also watched the first 10 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion in one day, and then the last 16 episodes the next day.

Chris they're dubbing Gintama.
12-05-2009, 07:42 PM
Neversoft

I find that hard to believe since Gintama isn't licensed. When it does get licensed one day though, the dub is going to be so digusting horrible I will cry.
12-05-2009, 07:44 PM
PaulMacC

I was joking, they wont be able to dub it. The japanese comedy wont fit into the dubbing audience, it's something that can only be done in japanese. I finished the Benizakura arc, Episode 61 had some epic action with Gin and Katsura.
