CAGiversary!
I think Blue Exorcist is solid,the characters are likable and the interactions are fun. It's a nice change of pace from the typical shonen.
That merch is actually aimed at high schoolers, because here in Japan, they still love all that cutesy stuff at that age.Are you limiting yourself? Try 7 year old girls. I saw a shit ton of AoT stationary, AoT clock in the shape of a heart, dinnerware, napkins, charms, etc.
All I'm saying is that it's weird considering the tone of the anime/manga. The kawaii cute shit doesn't match the content. I understand if it was an isolated piece of merchandise, but It was everywhere.
From one Layton avatar to another, WATCH KILL LA KILL! Favorite show of last season, by far.I wasn't sure what to watch next on Netflix but B Gata H Kei - Yamada's First Time seemed fun. Turns out it's a pervy comedy from a female POV. Kill La Kill just got added and like AoT and SAO, I've heard good things about it so that'll be my next series to watch.
You can get it cheaper on Amazon right now(multiple copies under $55). It's worth buying around the Amazon price, but not $80. Plus at least with Amazon you'll have buyer protection if you run into a bootleg.There is a store near me that has a used copy of the End of Evangelion for $80. Is it worth buying?
i saw some episodes of kawai complex, and i enjoyed it as well.Haven't posted here for a while ha. But as of late, I have continued on my One Piece marathon and am 190 episodes in! Now it is pretty much among my all time favorite shows/manga!
As far as this season goes, been watching a handful of shows, but my favorite has to be Kawai Complex. I love the art and characters and am really getting the Pet Girl vibe with it. I do wonder if it will end up having more than 13 episodes, as I have not seen anything official.
Considering it being in a Jump magazine, and is high up on the list of overrated anime on Japanese polls, I'm surprised you even gave it a chance.Currently slogging through Blue Exorcist. Good lord, I remember hearing good things about this show when it was first airing, but it's painfully average, and riddled with cliches.
Heh, I've had a lot of free time at work lately, and I figured I'd pick something to watch that didn't require a lot of attention. Turns out I'd like to pay even LESS attention to it still.Considering it being in a Jump magazine, and is high up on the list of overrated anime on Japanese polls, I'm surprised you even gave it a chance.
i personally thought the punk hazard arc was one the boring/less exciting arcs.About to finally finish up the Fishmen Island Arc in One Piece. To be honest I wasn't a huge fan of it and found it to be one of my least favorite arcs (after Skypiea). At times it felt almost like filler as the story is stagnant for much of the arc. Just 50 episodes of Luffy and gang beating up this week's flavor of villain (and Hordy is probably one of the worst villains in OP) With that said it wasn't all hate. It was cool to get a peek at the Strawhat's new abilities, but it was mostly a tease.
Hows the Punk Hazard Arc compared to it? I'm excited to get into it.
Punk Hazard was just a start for something bigger, Dressrosa is drawing to a near..... maybe.i personally thought the punk hazard arc was one the boring/less exciting arcs.
punk hazard was alright, but the pacing was horrible... I would highly recommend watching One Pace's version of the arc instead of the aired episodes... (I watched the aired episodes but I imagine one pace's would be a lot better as in general they cut down 3 episodes into the length of one, and at least with the current arc you can't even tell where they cut stuff from 99% of the time)About to finally finish up the Fishmen Island Arc in One Piece.

nothing quite matches water 7 but really punk hazard and the current arc aren't bad... they are just horribly paced in anime form (I haven't read the manga but i've been told it goes much faster and one pace goes much faster) I mean taken water 7, remove the filler eps... and then multiply the length by 3 and that is how the current anime arcs are going... no filler eps, but lots of filler content in every episode. it's going to be pretty much impossible for any arc to beat water 7 in the anime anymore with them going like that, thus why I am just watching one pace now as that really helps... I mean the random stuff going on in the current ep was already played out to long in one pace.... I would hate to see how I would feel watching the actual anime episodes which would have wasted 60 plus min on the played out stuff instead of 20.Well shit, I was hopping for a change of pace. Does One Piece eventually pick up?
I miss the glory days of Water 7.
I'm not sure on CAG's rules on linking to stuff (thus I refrain from doing it when it comes to stuff like this), but if you type one pace into google it's the top match.Considering I'm watching off Hulu plus it takes about 8 minutes to actually get into the episode.
Commercial/ Long ass intro/ Commercial/ Short intro/ Recap/ Then the new content starts for 5 minutes until another commercial.
And where can I find this One Pace thing?
no where legally atleast. LOLConsidering I'm watching off Hulu plus it takes about 8 minutes to actually get into the episode.

unfortunately, but alas that is why I buy one piece dvds and often run the new eps in the background to make sure the companies involved get their cutno where legally atleast. LOL
YES. Probably my favorite thing in the last five years.i saw Puella Magi Madoka Magica brought up in the anime deals thread, is it worth watching?
YES YES YES!!!i saw Puella Magi Madoka Magica brought up in the anime deals thread, is it worth watching?
The manga? I guess...Madoka can get fairly disturbing. It's basically Sailor Moon meets the latter half of Evangelion.
Viz Media has licensed Doaremon.
Manga and anime. The dub has already been announced to air on Disney XD.The manga? I guess...
you serious about it airing on disney?Manga and anime. The dub has already been announced to air on Disney XD.
i guess it should be pg friendlyI guess Doremon is something I can watch with my daughter. It is 4 year old friendly, right?
i just find it out , since disney produce their own animation shows. it is kinda of conflict of interest. don't they have to paid fee to air it on disney ?Yep. Disney actually announced it before Viz did. A little surprising they would work together again after the Shippuden fiasco.
It's basically Japan's version of Mickey Mouse. It's about a robot cat (who lost his ears) who comes from the future to cheer up and inspire the childhood version of his creator. Hilarity ensues.I guess Doremon is something I can watch with my daughter. It is 4 year old friendly, right?
I'm familiar with the character, but I've just never actually seen an episode. My wife used to watch it when she was a kid and she told me she always wanted the dokodemo-door.It's basically Japan's version of Mickey Mouse. It's about a robot cat (who lost his ears) who comes from the future to cheer up and inspire the childhood version of his creator. Hilarity ensues.
And if you think Pokemon and Detective Conan have been going on for a while, Doaremon has been going on since the 70's. It has become such a cultural staple that the title character is, no joke, an actual legitimate ambassador of Japan.
Hmm. Nobita didn't create Doraemon. In the future, they have robot cats. Doraemon is essentially a close-out, cause just about everything with him is broken (his cat-summoning bell, his ears, etc). It's about all his future descendent can afford, due to all the debt that Nobita racked up that his descendents are still on the hook for.It's basically Japan's version of Mickey Mouse.

Just chugging along like normal. The manga is still going too.What is the latest news on Detective Conan anyway? Last I heard there was a Lupin crossover and the latest movie (at the time) had a pirates theme.
It's standard for one to be released every year now. Another one already (or is about to) be released called Dimensional Sniper.What is the latest news on Detective Conan anyway? Last I heard there was a Lupin crossover and the latest movie (at the time) had a pirates theme.
This describes most long running shonen anime, I pretty much consider it a given.They reuse a lot of animation which is just lazy in this day and age.
I originally dropped fairy tail about 15 episodes in... because it wasn't very good... and then the english came out so I decided to give it another chance.... turned out only the first 20 eps or so are very meh... while it's not the best anime ever, I have enjoyed fairy tail since ep 25 on or so.So I started watching "Fairy Tail"...It's ok I guess. I'm hoping it will pick up as the series goes on as I am 4 episodes in. I find the main characters voice really annoying though (the dragon fire dude). They reuse a lot of animation which is just lazy in this day and age. I can understand when everything was done on cels, but nowadays they should have more variety.
I am enjoying both of them. Haikyu is more of your standard sports anime (simple minded energetic main character who will eventually be the best of the best by learning comradery and the importance of hard work), while Baby Steps is a bit slower and takes a slightly different route compared to most sports anime (Intelligent main character, though still acts like an idiot most of the time... so not to far off from the norm there, but it's a lot more technical and repetitive hard work focused.) If you enjoy sports anime I'd say give them a watch (assuming you have already watched hajime no ippo and to a lesser extent Major and Cross game) If you don't like sports anime avoid them, they won't change your mind on the genre.Thinking about starting up Haikyu and Baby Steps. Anyone have an opinion on them?
