Eureka 7 is pretty amazing so far :). I thought the kids were annoying at first. I realized pretty quickly that they did

Nice to see you too
Awesome! I am glad you have had the opportunity to see so many! Mushi-Shi was good. A slightly flawed masterpiece in that there is no conclusionI loved every single episode though! "All killer with no filler" as it were ;). Night Raid was good. The cat episode was hysterical! I didn't like the OVA ending on a downer noteThe series ending was a little better. Like you said a lot of potential wasted with that one. I loved the music!
I love horror anime! So what was the series name? I figured Last Exile second series wouldn't be as good. It is hard to top the first series
So what is this new season of Eureka 7? Is it a continuation after the original series? Or a new reboot?
What do you think of Angel Beats? I thought it was great. It could have used another season I think, but great! The episode Stairway to Heaven was awesome! I would give Angel Beats a 8/10. Maybe a 8.5?
I am currently watching The Bioboosted Armor: Guyver. Awesome show! I saw the original series, but this new one tells more story with updated animation. After that I think I want to watch Runi Kenshin (Spelling?) Bastard is also on my list since I have it, but never finished it. I also am gearing up for XxX Hollic, Casshern Sins.
Well I hope all is well with you

I am fine, just busy
I have no clue as to what the new Eureka 7 is supposed to be. For no it looks like a sequel, but it does not seem to be happening in the same world as the series, more like a parallel world or something. I think the main character can be Eurekas child, but to be fair, that can be totally wrong, so I guess we will have to wait and see
The horror anime was called Another. Quite good mystery as well, some gory deaths happen here and there, but I must say, all in all I really enjoyed it.
I started the second season of Spice and Woolf now, I also got my VD rentals for this month: Xam'd: Lost Memories. Never heard of it except for some reviews, but ratings are quite high. And once I finish, I don't know, too much choice!
I only saw one episode of XxX Holic, it looked really good!
I gave Angel Beats high rating too, at first I thought I would not like it, but it turned out to be a great mixture of funny/sad. With Night Raid, I thought they did not explore the characters well, and it felt a bit flat in the end. But the animation was very nice, an yes, the cat episode was hilarious! -
Force_of_Legend — 13 years ago(April 22, 2012 11:36 AM)
It would be nice if the new Eureka 7 was a sequel, but the first series did have closure to the story.
So the name of the anime is Another? I will have to check it outSpeaking of horror animes! Did you ever finish Shiki? I was thinking of checking that out soon.I want to watch Ghost Hunt next. I hear that is great.
I have wanted to watch Spice and Wolf for quite some time now. How do you like it?
I have wanted to see XxX Holic since I saw Tsubasa. Since it is CLAMP, and the characters cross over.
Angel Beats is awesome! The Stairway to Heaven episode was extremely funny! Which was nice after the episode before was pretty sad. So I am glad it ended on a funny note. I wasn't happy with the last couple of OVA's they produced for Night Raid. Oh well watch, and move on I guess
I finished Bio Boosted Armor: Guyver last night/this morning (2am.). It was good, but didn't have a conclusion. The last episode ended on a positive note. It could have at least had another 4 episodes. Actually it coukd have used another 26. Since the manga goes way past that point.
Now I am about to start Black Blood Brothers.

Wel, in first Eureka, we on't know what happened to Renton and Eureka later on, what happened with kids, what happened to Holland and company. Not that we need to know, but it would be quite cool to see them in the new series. I just watched the second episode and all we have is the main character possible being Eureka's child, but nothing more. It is such good fun though. I do not think it will be better than the first series, but so far looks good. A lot better than Last Exile 2 That was disappointing.
Oh yeah Shiki was amazing. I loved it. If you ever watch it, do not get discouraged during the first episodes. It gets a lot, lot, lot better later on. The ending is a bit shocking, but I enjoyed the thing as a whole, a bit different. Spice and Wolf one was something I enjoyed as well.
I started watching Xam'd, Lost Memories, and it is quite cool too. It is made by the same studio as Eureka 7. I think I will try Kaze no Yojimbo next, I remember you recommending this earlier on.
What is Black Blood Brothers about? -
Force_of_Legend — 13 years ago(May 13, 2012 04:51 PM)
I definitely don't see the point in making a Last Exile 2. Or rather. Why they did make it? The first series had closure, and was fantastic!
Shiki sounds like it is right up my ally! I can't wait to buy it on BluRay! Well a shocking ending is a good thing. Sometimes.Catching you off guard has it's perks. Hopefully Shiki's "shocking" ending is a good one, and not a "to be continued NOT!" kind of ending.
What is Xam'd about? I see it on amazon, but I haven't seen any trailers for it yet. Have you started to watch Kaze no Yojimbo yet?
Black Blood Brothers was pretty decent. The series is never fully realized though. It is only 12 episodes, and has one of those "To be continued never again!" endings. It has interesting background stories, but they are never fully explained. So that really hurts the series since it had potential to be a super cool vampire story.
Right now I am watching Ghost Hunt. I believe I am on episode 7. I am in the middle of the doll house arc. Have you seen it? It is pretty good. I am not sure what I am going to watch next when I finish this series though
On a off anime note. Have you seen The Avengers yet? I have already seen it twice! Loved it! I wish they had already filmed the sequel. I don't think I can wait 3 years for the next one!

Yeah, with Last Exile they just wanted to make a bit of money I guess They have like a few characters from the first series that appear for a few minutes and that's it. It was really disappointing. The new Eureka 7 series is a lot better, but also not as good as the original. Made me want to come back to the first Eureka The first seasons are always the best.
I am still waiting for Kaze no Yojimbo, I woud like to get started soon because it looks like a pretyt good show and I remember you said good things about it too. In the meantime I am getting on with XAM'D. It is about a lad who as a result of an accident becomes a different form of life. He can transform into some sort of creature with super powers but has to be careful for it not to consume him. Sounds a bit weird, but it is a good adventure series. Not amazing, but all right.
I also started watching Space Brothers. It has a similar feeling to Planetes, nice show with adult characters and a some great comedy. I finished Spice and Wolf II an it was pretty good too.
I have heard many great things about Ghost Hunt, do tell whether it stays that way because I really want to check it out!
Not have seen Avengers, what is it about? -
Force_of_Legend — 13 years ago(November 05, 2012 03:54 PM)
You are right! It was hard to read each other's answers! Besides we totally hijacked that person's thread! So with that being said I thought it would be best to revisit our old stomping grounds!I liked both seasons to Code Geass! Although season two started with a big WTF is going on here episode?! The ending was good. I too liked Schniezel (however you spell it). Until the last season. I thought he would remain a "decent character". However like you said..he became a real bastard (Not a reference to Dark Schnider of the anime Bastard!)
Planetes was good. I liked the main character in the beginning. He was funny, but Oy are right. The series became way better toward the end! Even made me cry a little!
Speaking of Trigun/Bebop similaritiesGunXsword is awesome so far! I'm not a fan on mech series. I do love it when they give each mech their own personality, and story. The main character Vahn reminds me of Spike Spegal. Even looks like himI am on Episode 9. After that I am going to watch XxX Holic. I was a big fan of Tusbasa which Holic's story intersects with it. I just had to pick it up! Next I would like to get Deadman's Wonderland! My friend tells me that is a must watch!

Unicorn_Blade — 13 years ago(November 06, 2012 12:52 PM)
Haha, we already hijacked another person's thread in the past once I think
Oh I have news, I watched Kaze no Yojimbo, I think you were the one who recommended it to me? I really enjoyed it, although for the first few episodes I was not sure what was the focus here; there were so many mysteries! But in the end it all came together really nicely. I was disappointed to find out that [spoiler] George's brother was killed [\spoiler] in the end, but at least he can have a fresh start in life.
SO what is GunXsword about? I have heard of Deadman's Wonderland, tell me what you think of it. I am watching Sayounara Zetsubou Sensei now, I needed something light hearted now after a series of really serious shows -
Force_of_Legend — 13 years ago(November 06, 2012 05:06 PM)
Haha! You are right! We did hijack someone else's thread before. Oh well! They will get over it
Yes! I spoke with you about Kaze No Yojimbo! I am so glad that you liked it! It was a pleasant surprise for me! I hated to see
Racoon die! He was a big lovable bafoon!
. It really did tie everything nicely together at the end. I kind of wish
George would have stayed with her at the end thoughJust like a classic western where the line gunman rides off into the sunset!
.
Deadman's Womderland came highly recommend by many people on different sites, and a couple of good friends who have great taste. I am not really sure what it is about. GunXsword is about a man named Vahn who is searching for a mysterious man with a claw for a right hand. This man killed his fianc on his wedding day. Vahn has a sword he wears on his hip that looks like a gun when holstered. With his sword he can summon a might "armor" (mech) from the heavens (orbiting satellite). It has a strong western theme which is similar to Trigun, and Bebop. Pretty exciting, and fun so far!
How is this new series that you are watching? I know what you mean about habit a light hearted story for a changeGunXsword is funny, sad, and action packed at the same time! Vahn is pretty funny! And has a fetish for every type of condiment a cafe can provide!

Unicorn_Blade — 13 years ago(November 09, 2012 01:58 PM)
We will be known as the thread hijackers on this board
I also thought the ending of Kaze no Yojimbo could be different, but the girl was quite young, was she not?
I have heard Deadman Wonderland is quite brutal and can be graphic when it comes to violence. Tel me what you think of it, if you like it chances are I will too.
Sayounara Zetsubou Sensei is OKI guess, quite early on so I am not decided whether I like it or not, but it has some funny moments. I guess I do prefer more serious shows, but I needed a break from them for at least a few days. I am thinking what Id like to watch next. I recently saw Claymore, have you seen it? I was so on the fence about it, I really wanted to love it but it was so depressing and there was quite a lot of gore as well. Have you seen it?
GunXsword sounds really good, I am looking forward to read your review of it when you finish. -
Force_of_Legend — 13 years ago(November 11, 2012 12:17 PM)
Yes! We will be famous throughout IMDB! I love it! I didn't think she was that young? But it has been about 4 years since I have seen Kaze No Yojimbo! I'll need to rewatch it again!
I didn't know Deadman Wonderland was graphic? The only thing I have heard about it was that I needed to watch it! Violence doesn't really bother me so much as long as it is handled well. If the show is violent just to be violent without purpose then I don't like it.
So you are not really into Sayounara Zetsubou Sensei? What is it about? I do like light hearted shows. I like a good mixture. I love thought provoking stories like Mushi Shi. Then I also like something like Love Hina! It's good to have variety!
I saw Claymore about 2 years ago. I enjoyed it up until episode 13 or so. The best episodes were the ones that had Teresa in them. The last 3 episodes annoyed me. It turned all Dragon Ball on us! At first it reminded me of Berserk. Then it changed gears for the worse.
GunXsword is awesome! It finally showed the real Villian "The Claw" or the man with a claw for a hand. He is responsible for the main character's search for Vengence. It is really awesome! Hey! Any show that reminds us of Bebop, and Trigun has to be great! Some of that awesomeness had to rub off!

People will look at our nicks and say "Oh noes, they are gonna hijack our threads, AGAIN"!
I think the girl was quite young, she was still in school and wearing a uniform, and she was quite childish the way she talked, I think George was quite young too but sounded more experienced and serious. Ok, now you got me puzzled -
Racoon died?
I complete do not remember this, and I only saw it like three months ago! My memory was so bad, I remember
the girls mum dying, but not Racoon
.
Btw, have you read any of the VHD novels yet? I really want to get my hands on another ones of D's adventures, but I am not sure which one yet.
Sayounara Zetsubou Sensei is about a teacher who is very pessimistic and unlucky and ends up having the most optimistic student in his class. It is OK, I will give it more time to grow on me. I am also watching Space Brothers, which is absolutely excellent, a comedy too, really funny and light.
I put GunXsword on my to watch list, you got me interested!
Claymore at the beginning was OK, then it was just too much for me. Too much screaming, too much pain, too many deaths, I found the concept interesting, but I did not like the violence that went with it. -
Force_of_Legend — 13 years ago(November 13, 2012 05:29 PM)
Thread Jackers! Run! Lol
I remember now that she was a high school girl. For some reason I thought she was older, and had a job. My memory is a little fuzzy after four years lol. I would imagine George was in his mod 20's. I would say that she was around 17, and George was about 27 or so.
Yes I believe that Racoon was shot by a sniper rifle around episode 20-22. He was on a rooftop hanging laundry when that one fellow shot him.
Space Brothers sounds awesome! What is that about?
Unfortunatly I haven't read any Vampire Hunter D books in awhile. I have been wanting to recently though! I would recommend that you pick up Tyrant's Stars (I think that is the name). It is about an ancient Vampire who was banished into Space by Dracula thousands of years ago because he kept causing war, and turmoil. Now he has of course crash landed back onto Earth, and D, has to face him. It is one of the longest books. I believe four parts in total length.
I am glad you are excited to see GunXsword! I am loving it! Like I had mentioned earlier. It is a blend of Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Big O! How can you go wrong?! I am not calling it a masterpiece, but it is worth watching, and is really good. I am on episode 17 now. I am hoping to finish it soon so I can give you a proper full review of the outcome!
Yes..I wish Claymore was so much more thanit turned out to beoh well! There are too many great shows yet to be viewed by us! We have our work cut out for us

Unicorn_Blade — 13 years ago(November 14, 2012 03:14 PM)
Was it sure it was Racoon not one of the mafia guys brothers? I am pretty sure he has a part to play at the very end. There was one of the mafia guys shot on the roof while having a cigarette, but now I am not too sure about it.
I want to get Tyrant's Star, but it seems like a long one to read, although the plot looks quite exciting. There is so many untranslated ones that sound good. ill be either getting the one you mentioned or Fortress of the Elder God sometime soon.
Space Brothers is a rare one where main characters are all adults. It's about two Japanese brothers who always wanted to be astronauts and one of them is about to fulfil his dreams while the other tries to pass his tests to become one, it is really funny and quite different.
But as you say, there are so many shows worth watching, I just have so little time to go through them -
Force_of_Legend — 13 years ago(November 18, 2012 12:53 PM)
Well now I am confused! I think you have a better memory of the show since it has been around 4 years since I have seen it. Also I believe you are right that Racoon was at the very end of the show. He waved George goodbye with the girl.
Tyrant's Star sounds awesome! Just longTwo full books! Fortress of the Elder God was another one that looked amazing! I need to check out both!
Space Brothers sounds like something I need to watch soon! I will need to search for it thoughAmazon didn't have it when I looked.
I finished GunXSword! It is a great show from start to finish! Not a masterpiece, but a great addition to Mecha anime! I am not usually big on Mech seriesbut this one won me over with it's western feel, and throwback to the other classics that I mentioned earlier. I think you will like it! Just don't forget the condiments! (You will get that when you see it :)8.5/10 is my final score. I will definitely watch this again!
Now I believe I am going to start watching XxX Holic.

I m not sure if Space Brothers are out on DVD, it is still ongoing and I am watching it on crunchyroll. But I think it should come out on DVD, it is a very good show an I hope it will get big enough fanbase.
I will definitely check out GunXSword! Sounds really good. I do not mind mecha, some of my favourite shows include them, and Neon Genesis Evangelion was I think my first or second even anime series I have ever seen And then series like Code Geass and Ful Metal Panic are not too bad either.
I amso slow with anime these days, hardly any time to watch anything. I am trying to catch up on so many series now, I just need tiiiiime!
I actually watched a very bizarre but quite fun series recently, called Tatami Galaxy, they speak so fast it is pointless to read subtitles sometimes! It was quite unique, and I like watching something like this from time to time, but I sort of prefer the traditional animation really. I also watched almost the entire sequel of Eureka 7, but was not too impressed with it I had such high hopes for it, and it did not come anywhere near to what I expected, I think a lot of people were disappointed -
Force_of_Legend — 13 years ago(November 26, 2012 06:58 PM)
You are right. I do not believe that Space Brothers is available on home video yet. I will keep an eye out for it though! I am in the mood for a good comedy
Let me know when you finally start watching GunXSword. Even the English voice cast was really good for that show! Have you seen the new Evangelion rebooted movies? I have seen the first two. Which are really well done! Have you see Big O? I really liked that show. That is one of my favorite mech shows.
Right now I am watching XxX Holic! I love it! Very funny, and serious at the same time! I also like Yuko the dimensional witch! Her character was also in Tusbasa Reservoir Chronicles! Which was a good show that I recommend that you watch!
I am going to have to look into Tatami Galaxy! Sounds funny. I don't think I want to see the sequel to Eureka 7. Did they ever show Eureka, and Rin again?

You know I just looked at my list of anime to watch, so many titles! I put 35 for today, but there is a lot more I can think of that are not even on the list
I do not have as much time as Id like to to watch the new series coming out this season, and apparently there are some really good ones. I like reading the animenewsnetwork guide for new series and a few caught my eye, but I guess they will have to wait for Christmas.
Have you got any special anime plans for holidays? I would like to watch Bunny Drop and the second season of Kimi no Todoke. The second one was so lovely and funny, Id love to see the second season, I hope it will be satisfying. I also need to finish Bastard! It has been ages since I started and I got through the first two episodes, but I never managed to finish.
What do you think is the most underrated series you have seen? Like you know it is good, but it does not seem to have too many fans out there?
I have heard good things of XXXoholic, I think I even saw one or two episodes and looked really promising.
