WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? Also, was it good?

 

It's just randomness. Nothing special.

[Guest Stefkov]

That episode felt like it had nothing content wise. Learned a bit of stuff but thoe whole episode seemed to have dragged but gone really quick at the same time.

Next ep looks like they're reuse some of episode 1's footage. Hope it's good...

Oh Naruto btw if you didn't already guess.

It was over before it started. Naruto girned some more about sasuke..Typical.

[Oxigen_Waste]

I'm planning to watch Naruto monthly from now on, instead of weekly. I think that will bring back some of the old quality. Maybe.

 

It worked for me. I've been doing that for the past 2 months.

[Coolness Bears]

I haven't watched Anime for 10 days!

 

School Keeps me really busy!

 

I'm going to watch some today.

[Guest Jordan]

Today, was the first day in several months (maybe even half a year or more) that i've watched new anime.

 

I'm a Mai HiME/Otome/Otome Zwei whore. So i watched Mai Otome S.ifr.

 

Pretty good actually, started well and flowed great untill the end. Way too much fan service, but thats common with this series. Action scenes were extremely entertaining and the voice acting seems pretty solid.

[Twozzok]

I haven't watched anything other then HiME, but from reading an 'about' thingy, it seems like it's pretty much an entirely different show. Why does it still have the Mai name?

They use a star cast, so all the characters are the retained, though they play different roles. Mind you, Mai isn't exactly an important character...

[Mundi]

Just got the subbed Hellsing Ultimate 4, gonna watch it later on a big ass TV.

 

Also making hardsubs is just fucking boring....

[Sanchez]

 

Source plz.

[Dante]

I got 12eps of D. Gray-Man and Hayate no Gotoku! to watch.

[Mundi]

Just watched the Hellsing Ultimate 4.

Loved it, loved and loved it. It´s so delightfully overly violent and bloody

[Roostophe]

I've had my eye on Ghost In The Shell for the past couple of weeks but I don't know whether to start watching it or not. I've been flicking in and out of certain episodes when they're played on Anime Central, and it seems alright.

 

Shall I give it a go, chaps?

Awesome xxxHOLiC: Series 2 is shown in April.

 

Genres: Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, Psychological, Slice of Life, Supernatural

 

Synopsis:

Kimihiro Watanuki is a high school student plagued by yōkai, supernatural beings magically attracted to him. The creatures are invisible to others, and as a result he feels extremely burdened by them. When he quite literally stumbles into a shop that grants wishes, his life changes drastically.

 

The shop is owned by Yūko Ichihara, a mysterious, beautiful witch of many names and esoteric renown. The seemingly all-knowing witch offers to grant Watanuki's wish to be rid of his ability to see spirits. However, in exchange, he must pay a price equal to the power required to grant the wish. Yūko discovers that Watanuki is very skilled with his hands and a hard worker. As a result, Watanuki is forced to perform housework and odd jobs for Yūko until he has done enough work for his wish to be granted.

 

Shortly afterwards, other characters become involved with Watanuki's position, including his love interest, Himawari Kunogi, and his "rival," Shizuka Dōmeki. The three become increasingly "friendly," despite the number of times Watanuki becomes annoyed by Dōmeki's calm demeanor.

What sort of genre is "Slice of Life"?

[Dante]

A slice of life is a category for a story that portrays a "cut-out" sequence of events in a character's life. It may or may not contain any real plot, and often has no exposition, action, conflict, or denouement, with an open ending. It usually tries to depict the every-day life of ordinary people. The term slice of life is actually a (more or less) dead metaphor: it often seems as if the author had taken a knife and cut out a slice of the lives of some characters, without concern for narrative form.

[Sanchez]

I always thought slice of life meant shows like Lucky Star or Ichigo Mashimaro that are sorta cutesy and don't have any special powers and such, just real life situations.

[Twozzok]

I thought it was literally what it is. A look into someones life, just doign everyday things. So yeah, Lucky Star etc.

[ssj]

Incase any of you guys are interested Im currently in the process of making a fan dubb of death note.

[RoadKill]

Why would anyone want dubs? Ew.

[Guest Stefkov]

Ew.

 

Can't phrase it any better. I guess I shoud add more to this before I get infracted.

I've stalled on anime recently. Whoever recommended Bokurano (Sanchez I think) does it actually have a good ending, right now I'm not thinking it does...

Still

One of the girls in the group being Dung Beetle's sister was a right surprise. Totally wasn't expecting it.

 

[Sanchez]

Yes, I think it does have a good ending.

[martinist]

BURN IT! SEND IT TO HELL!!

[Oxigen_Waste]

Why would anyone want dubs? Ew.

 

You're funny, mister.

Lucky Star English dub trailer

 

BURN IT! SEND IT TO HELL!!

The voices aren't awful IMO, but the originals were a key part of the comedy - and that trailer just isn't funny. What does Lucky Star have if not comedy?
