Anime / Manga

[Ratatoskr]

Fall 2014 discussion anyone?

 

There's some interesting manga adaptations I'm interested in checking out, namely Parasyte and Terraformars. Besides that, probably gonna check out Psycho-Pass S2, Mushishi, and Ronia the Robber's Daughter, which hopefully brings back the wonderful magical realism of classic Ghibli

Parasyte manga was good.  Hoping the anime is just as entertaining.  Sad that the beginning of Parasyte means the end of Hunter x Hunter though.

Gundam Reconguista In G

Parasyte

Madan No Ou To Vanadis

i didn't even know about parasyte anime.  my pal from hs read this manga, so after i looked it up it registered.  the manga is obviously dated when compared to contemporary titles, but the anime trailer looks pretty good.

 

terraformars (knew nothing about this), looks promising!  thanx.

[Desi]

Aldnoah Zero is pretty awesome so far, just started episode 3.  It's a pity that the mech designs are absolute trash though imo.

[colourz]

finally watched Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse. it was pretty good for your standard mecha literally until the last episode ruined everything

 

put me on a shoujo binge just to feel something real... that's what i get for watching a franchise spin-off 

 

but that got me watching ao haru ride which tbh is pretty well done, and for when it get's corny the animation is really crisp

 

 

for fall 2014:

 

Terra Formars

Parasyte

Log Horizon S2

new Mushishi

 

part of me is hopeful for Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete but only time will tell

[soundsounds]

Just curious, what source is everyone using for their manga?

Been out of the loop since mangatraders went down...

[Gatefold]

^mangafox is work

 

 

does anyone know of any trackers or anything where i can get the rare anime/hentai? I've been trying to find a copy of battle royale high school and some other ones for a while now edit good now

Aldnoah Zero on that Code Geass vibe.

[ifeelasleep]

Batoto is cool (different languages, proper credits, high quality scans)

zankyou no terror is meh, great production/direction, bad writing. comically bad "rival" in 5, useless moe side character, really underwhelming so far.

[poltergeism]

I really can't wait til Terra Formar release

Fucking episode 6. I almost cried. Chess = hallmark of lazy writing.

 

Episode 7 was slightly better but still makes me want to drop.

i decided to give 5 centimetres per second a go last night after having it on my 'to watch' list for years now. man, the quality of the animation and the soundtrack was insane - which shinkai should i watch next?

^ I really loved 5cm but I feel like the middle arc made the whole thing drag on.

My favorite Shinkai work is Garden of Words, but it's pretty short with a 46 min run time.

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^funny... i found garden of words beautiful but was extremely disappointed by the end of it because

it felt like it set me up for a lot of things without any proper catharsis. it wasn't nearly... painful enough imho? more runtime to flesh things out would have done it well imho but... eh. just how i felt after watching it.

regardless of that i don't regret watching it though. shinkai does beautiful work and it seems the output can only get prettier at the very least.

Terraformars 1st ep didn't disappoint

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

tried out aldnoah.zero and ended up marathoning it. really good.

[Warakia]

Terra Formars started off really good, when's the next one coming out? Haven't been this into a show from the first episode onwards in a while.

[ifeelasleep]

Prob not everyone's cup of tea, but REALLY enjoyed Haikyuu and I don't really like volleyball at all... until now. Within the last few seasons I think my favorites have been Haikyuu, kawai complex, and no game no life

the haikyu manga is really good, the art in particular is really dynamic (bird's eye views, contre plongee, crazy page layouts), kind of weird faces and proportions at first but it has really evolved throughout the series.

Server issues, they'll be back. In the meantime old school xdcc is where it's at. 

 

 

Only 3 more episodes of Hunter x Hunter until it goes on indefinite hiatus..

Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and Fooly Cooly will always be the favorites

[frasier oiseau]

does anyone know a good place to find anime from the 20s/30s

 

the best i can find right now is on youtube (lol) and they don't normally have subtitles so I have to use the CC feature and translate it so a lot is lost

 

I'd be interested in this as well if anyone has any leads

[frasier oiseau]

Also what are some good public trackers for anime? Series I want to watch at the moment doesn't seem to have the first episode available to stream anywhere, and it's not on the tracker I normally use (bakabt)

[Warakia]

Nyaa.se , kat.ph .

[SSchadenfreude]

Terraformars 1st ep didn't disappoint

 

mistakenly thought that the ova was the 1st ep.

 

actually first ep out now (since july).  tv series starts from the 3rd expedition.
