The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime

[BigusSchmuck]

Started watching Erased. Damn good anime.

Anyone watching Crunchyroll? At the moment I'm digging "Gate". Modern military in a fantasy world. Fun

Now to start Captain Harlock. Been so long I can't remember the story.

I watch Crunchyroll for short 5-minute episodes of wacky series like Wooser and Miss Monochrome, where the commercial breaks inbetween don't bother me.

If mixed military and fantasy is your thing, maybe Outbreak Company? http://myanimelist.net/anime/19369/Outbreak_Company  Quite funny.

This sounds interesting.  Maybe.  I have such a hard time getting a reliable internet connection in the gym unfortunately.

I'm almost done with the Devil is a Part Timer though, it's pretty fun.

One of my favorite shows in a long time, and the first one that I've wanted to actually buy since Cowboy Bebop.

Not sure how they're going to keep it "fresh" for the 2nd season ... but I'm hoping.

My wife said that the author rebooted the light novels to do something like "the devil is a high school student" or similar, so I'm not sure either.  I'm on episode 13, after I finish that I might go back to Zero no Tsukaima, but it's getting pretty ecchi in the 3rd season.

Thanks. I'll check that out. I was looking for something new.

I watched the whole late 70s or early 80s Toei Captain Harlock series last year. The story isn't that complex but it's a fun watch nonetheless.

Well that took for ever.





I completely forgot I even had the third movie preordered.


Hmm seems I never got around to getting the first one. Wonder if it will be difficult going one that will match up with these other two in terms of casing.

Thanks for posting about that series. They were taking so long I completely forgot about the 3rd movie.

what region are those?  The UK packaging is different.

Holy shit. Manga Video still exists!?

I bit the bullet and got me Bubblegum Crisis on Blu-ray.

I've watched up to episode 5 so far and I think Animeigo did a very nice job, the picture and sound is better than I expected. And much, much better than on my 15 year old DVDs released by OVA-Films/ACOG back in the day.

Luckily, there are even German subtitles on the BR discs, and it looks like they're mostly taken from the old release I mentioned, with only a few touch ups here and there. Which is fine for me, since I like that translation and would have found it odd to see a major overhaul.

I'll give the English subtitles as well as the English dub a try soon.

Still, I think the initial 4 episodes were the best out of the total 8. The drawing style, the animation, the believeable story and the attention to detail is amazing in them. The later ones seem to lose a bit of that, ok admittedly episode 7 double vision brings back some of it.

NA collectors editions. Basicly it comes with a slip cover.
