working my way through to catch up with Shinsekai Yori. If you like Psycho-Pass or deep animes, this is one to check out. Its not anywhere near as overtly violent but it has very dark undertones lurking just below a very civil surface. Very suspenseful, but don't expect psychic wars every episode, more dramatic and mysterious. It won't probably be an all time favorite, but I'll have to rewatch it a time or two.

Watched the current episodes of Hero & Demon Queen. I doubt I'll make it more thna another episode or two at this rate. interesting premise, boring execution.

Hakkenden Touhou Hakken Ibun (not sure the english name yet) - watched to the current episode. Not great, but not bad. This is going to be one of those I'll probably watch to the end, but probably won't look back on once its done and miss.

Magi - I didn't want to like this, I won't say I do like this, but somehow I still watched to I think episode 12. I think I'll probably end there. Could have been interesting, sorta was, but: the animation felt off, the use of well known literary characters was offputting and I found I never really had any interest in the characters much. I felt like there were a lot of things this series could have done, but never actually delivered.

Hunter X Hunter. I enjoyed the original enough I went and read the manga. The remake is almost an exact clone of the original, even seems like the same animation? There are scenes that are significantly different though once you start going through, and not always for the better. I'll be honest, I haven't watched the whole thing, just a few of the later episodes in the 60's and up through the second exam from the start. I plan to go back and watch parts of it, but I don't know if i'll watch the whole thing straight through having seen the original.

Anyone watched Highschool of the Dead? It's pretty hilarious...

New Battleship Yamato? I realize the videos are old so I'm probably late to the party..

Space Battleship Yamato is a powerful anime! It is well done from the storyline to the animation to the choice of music. I would hazard to say that it is one of the best anime I have ever seen. Even the sub-plots, messages and internal struggles the individual characters go through are all top notch. Even the choices made for the voice actors and actresses were spot on.

I don't usually praise any anime or manga to this extreme so that should say something.

Where did you find it?

What's everyone's thoughts on the new Blood C series? I hear a lot of people bashing it over bad plot and being nothing like the original. Is it that bad? Is it worth a watch to someone who thought the original was "ok" and isn't very picky over things like this?



I just finished watching the live action Space Battleship Yamato movie. I know nothing about the original anime series or it's American adaption so I can't really compare them but overall I thought it was good.

One of my friends filled me in after work that Adult Swim was going to be airing Soul Eater now, and today was 1st episode yay

Had started watching long ago but then lost track/got outta touch a bit

I remember it being pretty awesome, saw the episode and it was great as I remember, just gotta adjust to the English voice actors though

Soul sounds older than he looks LoL

Soul Eater pissed me off that it ended! The manga went a little farther but just ended as well. I don't think the Mangaka got tired of it because he started a spinoff. The spinoff is based on a trio of "weopons" who are going through the academy. Unfortunately it seems to have gone on hiatus about a year and a half to two years ago.

do you guys only watch the stuff that gets imported?
