Now, this may seem a bit weird for ME to be starting this thread, but I sat down and watched the nine volumes of the Death Note anime over the last week (I'd already read the manga) with my friends, and it was really fun. I've decided that every so often I'll buy a new box set of anime, or get something online, to watch with my friends. So, this isn't a "SUGGEST ANIME YEAH" thread, but you can talk about your experiences with each of them here. As you finish an anime, you could say if you recommend it or not, or we can just discuss animes people have watched in general. And stuff. So, discuss! Like I mentioned, I just watched Death Note after reading the manga. It was, of course, very, very good. The character development was absolutely perfect, and I felt the anime did a lot better job of the first half of the series, especially with Light's growing insanity. The animation was superb, and I loved the red/blue theme going on with Light and L. The second half actually left out a huge chunk of stuff from the manga, which wasn't necessary but it was still fairly important. Also, some of the jumps in logic towards the end weren't explained very well, so I can see people getting confused over it. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a srs bsns anime. |

So since this is anime/manga, are we not allowed to bring up Saiyan and his hentai? I feel that falls under the same category. |

I just finished the second season of Squid Girl. It's been airing weekly for about the past twelve weeks. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the first season, sadly. It just wasn't particularly entertaining. I'd recommend the first season, but not the second, unless you REALLY liked the first. It seems like the kind of show that could get a third season. Not sure if I'd watch it if it did. |

Imma watch Eureka Seven next. What is Squid Girl, out of interest? Apart from sounding like a really bad tentacle porno. |

It's a comedy about a squid girl who comes from the ocean and tries to take over the world. It's pretty silly. |

The ending to Death Note annoyed me only because... [spoiler=Death Note Spoiler]SPOILER ...after L died, I was really hoping Light would win. Also, how he got caught was complete bullshit. END SPOILER[/spoiler] |

^@Outlaw. Srsly, how'd it take us so long? Also any anime called "Squid Girl" is bound to be silly xP [spoiler=Death Note Spoiler]SPOILER I thought the manga handled it a bit better in that it took two volumes of building up to the ending and another volume of just explaining the plans and all the plotholes, while they do the whole thing in like four to five episodes in the anime. I assume they ran out of time or something. I personally think the way L died was bullshit. I also think that L was actually better than Light, just Light had too much element of surprise almost. I actually supported L/N/M for most of it, so that was okay. xP END SPOILER[/spoiler] |

I just started Bakemonogatari, because I've been interested in watching it and a sequel, Nisemonogatari, is going to start airing in Japan tomorrow and Crunchyroll picked up the show to simulcast. Here's Crunchyroll's winter lineup if anybody's interested: http://www.crunchyroll.com/lineup I'll be watching Another, because P.A. Works is doing it. They also did Angel Beats! and Hanasaku Iroha, which are both great. I'll be watching Nisemonogatari after I finish Bakemonogatari. I'll be watching Natsume's Book of Friends' 4th season after I watch the third season. And, I may watch Moretsu Pirates if it gets decent feedback. |

I got about halfway through Lucky Star and lost interest... I guess I prefer anime/manga like Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba&! to Lucky Star... Also I really should watch more Gun X Sword... |

[spoiler=Moar DN Spoiler]SPOILER I loved L. He was the perfect good guy. After he died, I no longer wanted the good guys to win...especially since I didn't really like Near or Mello. END SPOILER[/spoiler] What's the point of saying spoiler in the spoiler? Anyways, I just recently finished watching the anime ChäoS;HEAd. It was a pretty good anime though it suffered from a bit of an identity crisis. It wasn't sure if it wanted to be a psychological horror/murder mystery or if it wanted to be a fantasy harem. Still a good watch, and it's only 12 episodes, so I'd definitely recommend it. |

Because IE users don't get the spoiler so people with IE will end up spoiling the series for themselves =P [spoiler=Death Note]SPOILER L was fantastic, I supported him from the start. There was also the fact that I supported the police in general because Light was, well, the bad guy. I also liked Near, which helps. It's still saddening L died at that point. END SPOILER[/spoiler] Also, I felt the manga did the ending a lot better. But then again, books always have more time to make everything better. |
