Posted November 22, 2016 Watching the original Fullmetal Alchemist now I have my blu ray. Its weird going back to it after having watched Brotherhood a few times. Still a great show obviously but I can definitely see they got a lot better in Brotherhood, especially with the voice acting for certain characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 24, 2016 Does Avatar: The Last Airbender fit in here? I don't really understand the difference between an Anime and a cartoon... Anyway, I'm about halfway through the third season and absolutely loving it. Shall be sad when it ends. Still, I heard they made a film, so I could check that out.

Posted November 24, 2016 The difference is quite simple... anime is Japanese. So it doesn't technically fit, but I'm sure plenty of anime fans will have seen Avatar. There's a follow up series. Not sure if you're joking about the film but if not, no, you really should not watch that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 24, 2016 There are also some graphic novels between the two series (four with three parts each). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2016 So I've watched up to episode 18 of my Lucky Star Blu Ray whilst playing Pokemon Sun, I still love it as much as I did 10 years ago, maybe even more so now. It's such a pleasant casual watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2016 So I've watched up to episode 18 of my Lucky Star Blu Ray whilst playing Pokemon Sun, I still love it as much as I did 10 years ago, maybe even more so now. It's such a pleasant casual watch. Lucky Star is that one anime that gets funnier with every watch for me. As I tend to watch a lot of old anime and play more classic games like RPGs, there's always more jokes and references I end up understanding. Great series.

Posted November 29, 2016 I feel like I got alot more of the references this time around than the first time I watched it when it aired. It also made me want to watch Haruhi again but I can't find a blu-ray release of that series to save my life. In other news i've got a 48hour Crunchyroll Premium pass of anyone wants it, they just keep sending them >_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2016 There isn't a UK release for the Blu Ray, US only as it stands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2016 Finished watching Avatar last night. Really enjoyed it. Such a well-put-together show. The finale was great, but there were a couple of things missing, such as I really wanted a flashback to how Iroh got out of prison (would have been awesome), and I thought there needed to be some sort of resolution to Kitaras blood bending storyline. It seemed like they were setting it up to be a big part of her story arc, and then just forget about it. Oh well, still a good ending though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 6, 2016 Finished watching Avatar last night. Now watch The Legend of Korra. It's a much better show in my oppinion and expands on the first Avatar series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 8, 2016 Looking for some anime song recommendations. I have a playlist which I add to when I hear something I like and I'd like to keep it growing so there's enough songs in there to keep it feeling stale on shuffle. Background songs or opening/ending or anything? The ending of the last arc of Dragonball Super was pretty dark. Been watching One Piece collection 14, been ages since I've last seen Thriller Bark. Yohohoho! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2016 Now watch The Legend of Korra. It's a much better show in my oppinion and expands on the first Avatar series. I've watched the first 5 episodes, and I'm unsure so far. I don't like the new setting, and Korra is much more annoying than Aang. Still, I'll give it a chance. It might pick up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2016 I felt the same about Korra and ultimately stopped watching, but I think it was meant to have gotten better towards the end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2016 Bought the collector's edition bundle in today's AllTheAnime Christmas sale. The staff pick 5 collector's editions to send out in the package but you don't know which until it arrives. Looking forward to seeing what I get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2016 I felt it picked up midway through the first book but i guess it's not for everyone. Never knew about that collector edition thing over at all the anime. Bought one myself, will let you know what I get when it comes though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2016 I just opened the Samurai Flamenco boxset that AllTheAnime sent me today and it had lists off staff picks of both blu ray and dvds. I assume this is what we are getting (I'll keep it in spoiler tags in case you wanted the surprise: Blu Ray: Gankutsuou Expelled From Paradise Aldnoah Zero Fuse Hal Dvd: Blood Blockade Battlefront Harmony Terror In Resonance Beck Gurren Lagann If that does turn out to be the blu ray list then I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't seen any of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 22, 2016 Just read the latest chapter. HOLY SHIT. Did not expect that. Amazing! Ain't that right?! I was wondering if there was something to Pudding's 3rd Eye given that we hadn't seen it this arc, lo and behold it shows her true colours! It's so bloody epic!
