Roostophe Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I watched the first episode of Haruhi and I just didn't get it. It just seemed ridiculous and in a bad way. Ah, judging by what the others have been saying, you mean the broadcasted first episode? Whoops on your behalf. I sorta did that, too. But then I stopped it 'bout 5mins in to look it up and found what was the chronological 1st episode. Watched that instead, and when it came to watching the broadcasted 1st episode, I was going "Oh!" Speaking of Haruhi, here is Haruski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Why would you watch Haruhi in chronological order before watching it in broadcasted order O_o The mind boggles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Why would you watch Haruhi in chronological order before watching it in broadcasted order O_o The mind boggles! Because I never read the manga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Nor did I, I still thought the broadcast order was insanely better then the chronological order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Nor did I, I still thought the broadcast order was insanely better then the chronological order. Had I watched it in broadcast order, I would have had less of an idea about what was going on. It may have all come together at the end, but fuck trying to piece it all together watching it in broadcast order, when I could've simply watched it chronologically.

Supergrunch Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Haruhi is based on a series of light novels, not on a manga, though there's a manga now. That aside, KyoAni broadcasted it in a crazy order for a reason... if you got confused, it was because they wanted you to be confused. Watching Haruhi in a sane order is like cutting up Memento and watching it chronologically. I knew nothing about the show and watched it in broadcast order.

Well I want a 2nd season, but it would VERY hard to keep the music quality, specially that from where the show left off they'll have lots of new songs and other good bands appearing, so it wouldn't be easy.

Sanchez Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 The wonderful thing about gurren lagann is that it starts more as less about as low as it gets, then it rapidly escalates until every episode it goes way beyond what you thought feasible, progressivly getting more epic as it goes a long. Obviously not meant to be taken seriously (and it knows that) and extremely enjoyable to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take it somewhat seriously though, the show is about makind's traits: evolution, will power and ability to adapt. Just add steroids to that. That part at the beggining is all sorts of awesome it shows how Simon would have become if he took the wrong path with his power, basically giving reason to the anti-spirals.

I really need to watch this yet again. Probably my fave anime along with Hajime No Ippo. Can't decide yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchez Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I thought the whole BURNING PASSION thing was a parody of over enthusiastic characters in other animes. Interesting, I forgot about the short bit in the first episode, at the time I assumed it was a prologue of what happened many years ago and it led to him finding Guerren while digging.

That's a cheeky sig Sanchez. Spotted it quite a few times in the last hour. Anyways, this show has probably the biggest shock ever for me. Still can't watch certain episodes...

Yeah that's true, maybe a second season wouldn't be wise because it would kill the flair of the series and ruin the formula of it. Anyway I'm just starting to watch Gurren Lagann today, and will start Mushishi later on, anybody seen Mushishi before?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can view it as you want, I view it as both, that's the beauty of it :P and will start Mushishi later on, anybody seen Mushishi before?? I have, it's very, very good, one of my fave anime, great concepts, very relaxed, awesome soundtrack and although it's mostly episodic, it's addictive.

DomJcg Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yeah I agree, but I cant believe it took this long to get anywhere. Even once Kishin was revived, there was still little to the plot other than a typical Shonen title which saw you chase around this evil entity, but the insanity convention is an absolutely brilliant idea. I have a feeling its affected Black Star too, as it was suprising that he's been out dueling without Tsubaki (so he's been fighting with just his fists, but for what purpose?). All I can say is, I hope Shinigami sama has indeed got a sinister past like suggested with the demon tools. Shinigami was with eibon... and was at the epicenter of the brew explosion, so yeh, somethings up As for black star, it happened after his rematch with mifune, he won against him the first time and got beat bad this time, so he's sorta, gone mad with training, it's most likely something to do with Tsubaki being a demon tool i think something big will happen when he masters black sword. Black blood carriers Chrona (duh ^^, plus medusa coming back was AWESOME) Maka and Soul Black Star and Tsubaki? Insanity levels Stein Black star? Soul? Chrona I love soul eater, regardless of how long the plot takes to kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
