What are your favorite shows or movies? Here's a few of mine:

Aria (http://i.imgur.com/dUgdaBx.jpg), Doggy Days (http://i.imgur.com/kI4dP5T.jpg), Ga-Rei Zero (http://i.imgur.com/nKIQ5BC.jpg), Hidamari Sketch (http://i.imgur.com/8OzTQ8p.jpg), HS DxD (http://i.imgur.com/cgP9PDL.jpg), Interstella 5555 (http://i.imgur.com/5UJMaqt.jpg), Strike Witches (http://i.imgur.com/esX26Of.jpg) and Toradora (http://i.imgur.com/sxhb4jH.jpg).

Maybe include a warning when linking to anything ecchi or particularly violent?


My favorites:
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Black Butler (particularly the Book of Circus/Murder reboot), Another, Steins;Gate, Big O, the first season of Haiyore! Nyaruko-San.

Have you seen any of the shows I listed?

Black Lagoon is another one of my favorites but I reckoned the pictures I had would get removed so I didn't mention it.


BTW, my current avatar is Tsubasa Hanekawa from Bakamonogatari and my signature is Kotori Minami from Love Live. Have you seen them?

I saw like one episode of Gai-Rei Zero. It's still on my incredibly long "to-watch" list.

Black Lagoon is awesome, yes. I loved all of it (except the Yakuza arc of the second season. That just dragged on forever and I didn't care about any of the characters).

I haven't seen any of the others you mentioned.

Have you read any spoilers about Ga-Rei Zero online?

One of my favorite moments in Ga-Rei Zero. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk5QMtS4ItA)

It's from the first episode so it won't spoil anything for you.

I love the way Yomi says "Hello Kagura". She is pretty hot. Especially when she's killing people. :p


This is one of my favorite Black Lagoon moments. (http://i.imgur.com/pYwhJ9x.jpg)

What do you think of that scene?


I wouldn't recommend Bakamonogatari or Love Live because they're bloody awful. :p


I would recommend the shows in the first post if you like the genre.

For some reason embedded video doesn't work on my browser.

My friends keep bugging me to watch Kill La Kill, so I'll probably do that. I myself got them all to watch Plastic Nee-san (then again, the fact that it's only half an hour to finish the entire show makes it easier to convince people to watch it. And so far they've all found it as hilarious as I do).

I also seriously love Cromartie High School, though I find the manga much funnier than the anime.

And even though a lot of people (even many fans of the game) don't like it, I'm still a fan of the Senran Kagura anime (obviously no screenshots of that here :P). [Also, so far Senran Kagura 2 gets my Game of the Year vote. Especially since Dragon Age Inquisition was last year.]

Still need to watch the new Durarara!! as well...

All I really want is a dub of Book of Circus/Book of Murder so I can hear J. Michael Tatum as Sebastien again.

Here's part of the video url then: watch?v=jk5QMtS4ItA

I have heard of Kill la Kill and Cromartie High School. Haven't seen them though.

@Senran Kagura: Why don't they like it?

I was going to watch a LP of a Senran Kagura game, haven't gotten around to doing it yet though.

@Durarara: Me too. I'll probably rewatch S1 first though.


I'm not interested in watching english dubs. I have heard the commentaries from the english actors in Strike Witches and HS DxD. They were pretty funny.



BTW, I like stitching multiple screenshots together. Here's a few examples:
One (http://i.imgur.com/si1pS6l.jpg) Two (http://i.imgur.com/dSquhf1.jpg)

Both of these guys are pretty handsome. :p

They don't like it because it's more "silly" than the games. The games might be fanservicey but they have pretty dark stories. The anime adds a lot of comic relief moments to counter that.
Well, the 3DS games do. The Vita games are in a separate universe and focus more on comedy and fanservice than on story. I prefer the 3DS games both for story and playstyle.


Also those links are broken.

The links work for me. What happens when you click them?

Maybe embedding them would work.

http://i.imgur.com/dSquhf1.jpg

Can you see them?

Ah, I see. They ARE clickable, but the text effect that shows that they can be clicked doesn't show up (no underlining or colors). probably a side effect of the new interface.

Those images are a little big, can you make them smaller (I think you can add something to the img tag?) or revert them back to normal links?

That's weird. I can see underlines when I move the cursor over the links.


They are a little big. It's the reason I linked them in the first place.


Speaking of big pictures, this is the biggest one I've done: http://i.imgur.com/pPJu4aY.jpg


Here's some other male characters I like:
Accel (http://i.imgur.com/v8zrdm5.jpg)
Gasper (http://i.imgur.com/zi5JCin.gif)
Issei (http://i.imgur.com/Y6WpI77.jpg)
Mariya (http://i.imgur.com/yuyD7Vt.jpg)
Rail Tracer (http://i.imgur.com/1Za5ctL.jpg)


What do you think of the pictures?


Oh and I bought Hidamari Sketch season 4 on DVD recently. I'm happy that I finally have it. S4 aired like 3 years ago.


Do you have any DVDs?

This is the most recent stitched picture I made.

It's Ryuuji from Toradora. (http://i.imgur.com/pFC3TT1.jpg)

That picture of Accel just reminded me that I never watched the other "certain magical ____" things after Index.
At least I think there's more of them... actually IDK.

Free time where are you? @_@

You should watch season 2 of Railgun if you haven't. Accel does have a pretty big role in it.


Here's a few scenes I like:

Ah, October...time for my annual tradition of finding someone who has never seen Another and watching the entire series with them.

Except the OVA. I don't like the OVA, it just ruins the mood of the series.

Could you be more in depth about the problems with the OVA?


BTW what do you think of my new avatar and signature?

The actual season of Another had wonderful atmosphere and character development. The OVA discarded that in favor of fanservice that shouldn't have been canon. It's not terrible - it still has the tragic atmosphere of the series, and Misaki Mei's personality in the OVA actually does make sense, but the fanservice just ruined the mood. It worked in the beach episode of the actual series because it was subdued, it was never directly brought up, and the tension remained throughout the episode. In the OVA, it's more of just "Look! Fanservice! Maybe yuri!", which doesn't work in that setting. If they hadn't tried to make it a canon backstory for Misaki Mei it would have been fine. If they'd toned down the fanservice and shenanigans and played up the atmosphere of "Something terrible WILL happen by the end of the episode" it would have worked.
Basically, the OVA isn't bad by any means, but it's inferior to the anime. Storywise it's meant to be watched after the end of the anime, which is sort of like finishing an amazing cake with a slice of wheat bread. Wheat bread is fine, but it's not something you'd really want to eat after a chocolate cake.


I have no  opinion on your avatar or signature, it's not a character I know.

It does annoy me when they write noncanonical nonsense like that.

It is the reason why I'd say Bakamonogatari and Love Live are among the worst tv series I've seen.

It's the reason why I don't care for Steins Gate either. Still, SG is far from the worst thing I've seen.

What does Steins;Gate do that's non-canon? The date with Ruka is perfectly in character for her, even in her male body in the beginning she was clearly interested in Kyouma.

The date is in character for Ruka, but Ruka isn't in character for the show.

It's the dating sim-esque stuff that's out of character for the show.

Honestly it's pretty silly to say that Okabe would bother going on a date when there's way more pressing matters to deal with like Sern turning the world into a dystopia.

The date really did come off as fanfiction written by an Okabe/Ruka shipper rather than something that actually happened in a serious sci-fi/thriller-esque show like Steins Gate.




Also episode 22 is the canonical ending to the story. The story does end with Chris being dead and Okabe getting rid of the time travelling machine. The stuff about Okabe saving Chris doesn't follow from the stuff that happened previously and it's just there to pander to people who would like a happy ending.



Basically, Ruka and Feyris are internally consistent, but they don't gel with the genre or the tone SG has. And the stuff about Chris being alive instead of dead basically is a logical non-sequitur.


Watch your language. Last Warning.

Screw. that. noise.

I'm sorry. But no. Contrary to what you might think, there might be other reasons. It's people like you who are the problem here.

You are the problem with the world, just because of what you said there, you and everyone else like you.


And on a totally different note, I find it hilarious that you consider it 'serious', when half of it isn't really that serious at all.

Agreed. People like Ruka and Faris exist,and they fit in the SG verse just as well as a computer nerd like Daru or a prodigy scientist like Makise.

As for her supposed to be dead? The whole message of the show was to never give up on your friends! Saving her and Maiyuri was the whole point of the show!

Let's hear the reasons and what "the problem" is then.


Well yeah, there is lighthearted parts in it, but by the time the show enters the second half, it definitely does get serious.


Like Mayuri being shot for example. There's nothing lighthearted about that. The idea that the second half isn't serious is what's "hilarious".




Okabe very clearly said something contradictory to that in ep 22. I'll just get some screenshots so wait a little bit.

Couple other things.

Okabe's not a jerk. Especially to his friends. That, combined with the fact that Ruka kinda was the only one who could've helped out with the resetting of the time travel stuff, is why he went out with her. She wanted to have good memories. And quite honestly, Okabe pretty much had control over that present time loop anyway, he could afford like 100 time loops to try(and miserably fail) to save Mayuri. By that point, he could spare two hours to not be a giant jerk to one of his closest friends.


Because maybe people might just want actual good representation, instead of being told again, and again, and freaking again that they aren't real people, just because life decides to say 'screw you!' to having any sort of nice things.

And the problem? That you, and people like you, are close minded jerks who objectifies people and turns them into just... well, objects. Stripping people of any respect, just so the jerks can feel better about themselves. Like that 'several of my favourite characters' stunt. That's like pulling the 'my best friend is a person of colour, so I can be racist!' card, which is equally idiotic.


It's more serious, but even then it has its moments of light heartedness. Mayuri being shot is serious, though, yes; and so is Kurisu back in the first episode. Doesn't mean there's no lighthearted parts at all.

@Blade: MsRR said I should refrain talking about such things completely, so I'm going to end the Steins Gate discussion now. Sorry.

Got another DVD recently. (http://i.imgur.com/7S9tzSw.jpg)

Does anybody else buy DVDs?

Anyone else watching the new 'One Punch Man' anime? Some top notch stuff right there :D


DVD's cost money ;_;

Haven't had a chance to watch it, but I hear it's absolutely fantastic. =O

Winter break is quickly approaching, what are you all planning on starting/catching up on/rewatching with the free time?


You've heard that because it is absolutely fantastic :D The hype is pretty well lived up to!

I've been watching Rage of Bahamut: Genesis and Sakurako's Investigations lately.

Heh, from the few handful of scenes I've noticed, I can agree. ^^ Just need to find a way to watch it; maybe it's on crunchyroll...

Those two look pretty cool from a glance at wiki, I may try to finish those over winter break =o


Each site has a bunch of ads and whatnot, but I guess if you have adblock you should be able to watch it wherever. I've just been watching it on animetofu, I've never used the site before this show but it seems alright as far as I can tell =/

Anyone who hasn't seen Rage of Bahamut needs to watch it now. It's a rare example of an awesome high fantasy anime, the characters are great, and I like the world - it's an odd mix of Christian and Ancient Greek mythology.
