AWKWARD ZOMBIE

ano natsu ano natsu ano natsu

oh, sweet kanna



where's the version that goes silent whenever akarin speaks
wahaha

I can't think of ANYTHING about "Another" that I like. A plot lifted from a Newgrounds flash game, cliche as all fuck characters, designs from a yaoi manga, not-so-subtle symbolism, horrible "dramatic zooms", eyepatch characters being taken seriously, "oOoO you shouldn't get close to me I'm dangerous!!", and no gory payoff like I was expecting. The OP was nice, besides sounding like every other ALI Project song. Still though, I usually give animes 1 or 2 episodes before I bail out, so I guess we'll see.

Finished Katanagatari. I can't really think of anything worth while to say since I don't want to give away the ending (even in spoilers) and I can't sort out an emotional response yet. All I really can say about it is that it was absolutely wonderful and without a doubt one of the best anime I have seen.
None of that until episode 3, but if you're expecting that to make it better than save yourself the time. After that it's really only worth watching if you like to try and guess who dies next.
Who?

Another may be shit but

what

you think because a character has an eyepatch you can't take them seriously?

the OP is dogshit

HAHA TOO BAD GUESS WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT

I have to say, the ending really surprised me. I did not see Togame's 180 coming at all. When I first watched it, I kept waiting for that tiny hint that would imply she was just putting up some sort of cool, collected front to ease Shichika's pain at her death, because she loved him 5ever, but nope. It made me take another look at Togame and appreciate her character that much more. She really is was just a master tactician and manipulator. Whether she still cared for Shichika, well, maybe- but everything came second to her goal, even when it meant sacrificing everything. I haven't seen a female character so driven like that in a long time. (I also really loved his sister's characterization.)

A small part of me was vainly hoping for the happy go-lucky, love conquers all endings, even though I absolutely love endings that destroy my hopes and dreams (because they always evoke strong emotion in me). I mean, the ending itself was "pop flyin'" in a sense. I was not expecting Hitei's turn-around. I suppose with Togame out of the way, and her goal somewhat realized, she could go back to being herself. It was just strange since her, for lack of better words, "relaxed" personality was never shown or hinted at. I almost thought she would be incapable of it.

Aaaa, there is just so much I love about the show. I won't say more, though, because I have stayed up all night and it's 11 am, so my thoughts are not going to be coherent. I hope my other ones were, whoop whoop.

GOD DAMN IT FINE

I honestly didn't see Togame's 180 coming either, as I was swept up in the whole love story aspect, which I found interesting between her and her goals and Shichika not really knowing what love is (or what anything is at the beginning haha.) I still want to believe she wouldn't have really killed him if it came to it (she said herself that even though she was just using them for her plan, her feelings were still real), but I guess that's neither here nor there at this point. As for Hitei, I sort of got the feeling that she never really acted like her true self throughout the series, though I wasn't really expecting what her true personality was. She just always sounded bored to me. Not really in what she said but how she said it. The ending felt odd at first, but the more I think about it the more I'm ok with it. Despite what Shichika said he probably didn't want to be alone (it looked like he was more "annoyed" that she was following him) and it's not like Hitei had anything else to do. Also, given what her true personality is, she was probably a bit jealous of Togame travelling around everywhere while she just hung out in her castle all day. AND SHE CUT HER GODDAMN HAIR. IT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING. Although it was probably partly a reference to Togame and partly because traveling with that outrageous hair would be impossible.

Also,
During that rampage at the castle, when Shichika reached the floor with that kid I had to stop and laugh for a minute. "Oh god it doesn't have a blade what am I supposed to do...."

Watching Trinity Blood. It's pretty good. Not as good as i remember it being, though.

Finished Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Wow, you guys weren't kidding when you said it got better.

High five for the big man

Congratulations, you have now caught up with the Internet as of 2008.

\o

While I'm here I might as well ask what I should watch next. Preferably something with action.

I kinda still need to watch it as well....me and my roommate have been putting it off for a while.

Clyve/Silver you better sit your asses down and watch some GIGA DRILL BREAKAAAAAHHHS so you can get it over with and feel like you've touched the face of Jesus and Buddha at the same time

if you're in a mood for more mecha shounen, i kind of want to recommend eureka 7, since the sequel starts airing in a few weeks

yes it's a masterpiece
