Animu Thread 2: Electric Boogaloo

[ACH0225]

For all those among us who watch animu or read mangos.

My official recommendation list, which includes all animu I have watch, with a short spoiler about it. Crudely alphabetized.

Angel Beats!

Spoiler:

Yes, the exclamation point is actually part of the title, not just my enthusiasm. I really liked Angel Beats, and regardless as to what kind of soulless brony you are, I recommend it to you. If you watch any animu from this list, Angel Beats should be it.

Akame Ga Kill

Spoiler:

It's still being released, so it isn't finished as of the writing of this, but insofar it has been breddy gud. A fairly interesting concept, like Japanese assassin's creed but with less parkour and hoods.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel

Spoiler:

Naval combat is always good. This was fairly good overall. Submarine combat is always good.

Baka and Test

Spoiler:

I still haven't figured out why I enjoyed this. It was fairly good overall, mind, but it was a fairly unique concept and could've gone wrong plenty of times, but was strangely enjoyable.

Bamboo Blade

Spoiler:

The gifs get me everytim. Good anime though.

Chaika

Spoiler:

Shit was pretty god damn cash. Seriously though, it was good. Also Chaika is Russian word.

Clannad

Spoiler:

Wasn't really my type of animu, being slice of life(I think), but was fairly good. Very well known, it's by the same people who made Angel Beats, and a lot of people got emotional over both. If you like slice of life, you'll enjoy Clannad.

Date A Live

Spoiler:

Ehhhhhhhh... It's ok. Good enough for me to watch the first season, not good enough for the second.

Danshi Kōkōsei no Nichijō

Spoiler:

Surprisingly good. No action, but for comedy it is pretty good.

Elfen Lied

Spoiler:

Many limbs were lost in the making of this animu. Feel-y enough, but also pretty messed up. If someone does watch it, I would appreciate it if they would tally up the total number of body parts(limbs, head, ect) lost.

Gurren Lagann

Spoiler:

A staple of any animu-watcher's animu. A classic. Ect. Go watch it, it's good; picks up more after the first few episodes.

Hatoaraku Maou-Sama

Spoiler:

It was a show. idfk.

Infinite Stratos

Spoiler:

It's all fanservice, but it does have mechs. One of the times when dub is completely, 100%, undeniably better than the sub; because accents.

Kill la Kill

Spoiler:

It's..... definitely interesting. Fairly alright.

Little Busters

Spoiler:

In the process of watching, insofar it is good. Also by Key, the people who made Angel Beats and Clannad.

Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Spoiler:

Got reboot'd fairly recently, new graphics and all. It's what it says on the box.

No Game No Life

Spoiler:

It's pretty good. Not much else to say, really.

Outbreak Company

Spoiler:

Roughly similar in concept to No Game No Life, but suckier.

Rail Wars

Spoiler:

Like Akame Ga Kill, it's still being released as I write this. It's about trains; very unique concept. More action-y than expected, fairly good.

Sword Art Online

Spoiler:

First half of the first season was fantastic; it just goes downhill from there.

Spice and Wolf

Spoiler:

It's serious.... business. Get it? It's about business. Other than that, it's fairly typical romance animu.

Attack on Titan

Spoiler:

Everyone already knows what it is.

Toradora

Spoiler:

It's romance. Actually fairly quality. Directly after I watched it, my opinion was pretty meh, but after some thought, it was breddy damn good.

Watamote

Spoiler:

I can't really believe that I struggled through this. It wasn't very good. I cringed all the way through.

Yukikaze

Spoiler:

By the people who made Ace Combat. It's confusing as hell until you realize nothing matters except fighter jet battle scenes.

Probably forgot a few, please suggest your own, I have run out of animu.

[Tau]

ACH, you mentioned a thing a while ago.

What was that one anime that you said was made by the same people who made Ace Combat?

[ACH0225]

Forgot that one. Yukikaze

[Iv121]

Rail Wars ? Someone watches that crap ?

Well if we are talking about this summer's anime releases I added a new title to my recommendation list (throwing out most other crap besides Akame Ga kill), that is Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (Monthly Shoujo Nozaki-Kun). Why did I like it ? Even though I consider some stuff funny that stuff rarely makes me giggle, that show made me laugh, nuff said.

It had a fine concept and superior execution, worth every second spent on it. The story is about a girl who confesses her love to some dude (who happens to be a Shoujo Manga artist with shoujo manga being Jap romance comics for girls) but her confession is so awkward he mistakes it for a request and takes her as an assistant to draw his manga instead (Turning her love literally into a shoujo manga as the title of the first episode says), and hell is our Nozaki-Kun a true artist with all that derives from it if you know what I mean, pff creative personalities ...

Apparently I moved from merely watching anime out of curiosity to pretty much watching it cuz I like teh anime itself ! (Prob watched too much of it ... )

You seem to be missing a category. Sports.

My favourites are
Free! Iwatobi Swim Club/Eternal Summer
and
Haikyuu!!

You should check them out.

Non Sports wise I like Zankyou no Terror and Tokyo Ghoul seems nice so far. You should check those out too.

[Vinyl]

H-hey, [cheeto dust begins to rain from hands] you ever seen [neckbeard engulfs lower head] 15 bishoujo hyouryuuki [room suddenly plummets below ground, becoming a basement].

Does anyone actually watch sports anime?

@vinyl
....

[Solar112]

I assume that's a rhetorical question.

I'm fully caught up on znt and tg. I do definitely reccomend them.

I also liked Ao no Exorcist, and fma+fma:b but I assume if you're here you've probably watched fma.

[Archduke Daynel, PhD]

H-hey, [cheeto dust begins to rain from hands] you ever seen [neckbeard engulfs lower head] 15 bishoujo hyouryuuki [room suddenly plummets below ground, becoming a basement].

As one of the few forumers not obsessed with anime, this.

[Iv121]

Well I wouldnt go as far as saying Im obsessed, giving a recommendation on an anime is in fact not that diff from giving a recommendation on a movie, how many movies did you watch recently ?

[Crash Override]

PERSONA 4 - THE ANIMATION


BEST.
ANIME
EVAR!


AND DO NOT FORGET!


MACROSS

FRONTIARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[ACH0225]

Just watched Chaika.

Shit was cash.

[CMA]

H-hey, [cheeto dust begins to rain from hands] you ever seen [neckbeard engulfs lower head] 15 bishoujo hyouryuuki [room suddenly plummets below ground, becoming a basement].

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[ACH0225]

So, this is how the world ends.

Sword Art Online II.

[Iv121]

If you ask me SAO 2 drags too much.

On the other hand this weeks Nozaki-Kun ... Oh god the boxes killed me, I LMAO'd so hard , beast commedy !
