Favourite anime?

[Neversoft]

I've seen a lot of it. I couldn't be bothered.
ANd if it's that's a reference to FUMOFFU... I loved it

Huh? I never referenced Fumoffu. Unless that's what Transformers is know as these days...

[Southe,]

its insanely popular because its, fun and simple, can be serious and entertaining and oda is a genius. lol but thats just my opinion.

anyway. gonna start watch smaller series rather then going for ones with tons of eps lol.

No, I haven't. It's the kind of anime I've seen too many times already. Quite simply, it's been done before. Recently I've been looking for series with a uniqueness about them, but Desert Punk seems like another Trigun wannabe, just with better animation.

Lol, I've done the exact opposite. I've watched a ton of normal length series, now I've started watching Gintama, which has more than 100 episodes and it's still on-going.

Ahah, going in reverse eh? I can't be bothered with larger series.
If I do stretch to do another it'll be something like Guyver/FMA size.

The thing is though, Gintama is a large series, but it's of episodic nature. There is no on-going story. Every single episode has a different story, and every now and then you may get a longer story that lasts a few episodes. I think that's why I'm able to manage it, because I'm not usually into long series.

Come on MSN.

Whats the general summary of it?

I'm currently on episode 36 and it's zoomed straight to 4th on my favourite anime list. At first, it was a little hard to get into, and I thought it was a little stupid. But I continued watching it and everything just becomes acceptable and natural to the series. You wonder how Gintama would have ever done without it's wacky comedy, unique characters, sense of reality, and nature of each episode. It's really unlike any I've ever seen. Quite recently I finished Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu! and I thought that was the funniest anime ever, but now I'm starting to wonder, because Gintama is just hilarious. Every episode makes you laugh, every episode offers you something new, it never gets old. Also, Gintama is 90% comedy, but I love how it's able to swtich to drama in the blink of an eye. It manages to go from painfully funny, to tear-jerking sad. Which is damn good direction and writing, right there! I hope that expresses my opinion on it good enough, I love it, basically. The only bad thing about it is that because it doesn't have an on-going story, it's sometimes hard to marathon, or watch in big chuncks.

If you're thinking about watching it, then watch the OVA first to decide, not the first episode of the series. The OVA did come out before the series anyway. I watched the first episode first, but didn't really think much of it. I watched the OVA a few weeks ago though, and loved it. The OVA is only one episode, so nothing long.

Come on MSN.

Whats the general summary of it?

It's too hard to try and summarize Gintama... basically it follows this guy called Gintoki and his friends, who run a jack-of-all-trades business, and are willing to take any job offered to them for money. It's set in Japan during the Edo period, which I believe is in the 1800's, but an aliens known as the Amanto have invaded Earth and have basically taken over. Because of the Amanto, however, the Earth now has technology more advance than we have in our present time. So it's like... set in the future... set in the past. Weird, huh. It's got action, comedy, science fiction, fantasy, romance, everything. It also parodies a ton of animes, and I really do mean a ton. It's fun watching an anime parody an anime. Of course it also parodies TV shows, films, books, characters and other things as well. One of it's genre's could even be listed as parody. Theres a lot more to it, but thats basically the jist of things.

I'll be on msn in a be, I'm gonna go have a shower right now. No, you can't join me.
