RideBack - episode 10 ...Wow, just wow.
Interesting turn of events.

[spoiler]Suzuri dies, really? This show turned out to be a lot more political and depressing.[/spoiler]

Clannad After Story 7-18
Gurren Lagann 18-24

@TSD: I'm not quite halfway yet, but the show has all ready improved. (Which is fantastic. :dance:

) So if it gets better, that's definitely encouraging.

Over the weekend kept watching E7 (I am planning on watching more Tutu today.)
Eureka Seven episodes 12 - 19 (Episode 14 was a clip show.)

[spoiler]Phew! Talk about major drama! I don't know what that weird pink stuff is that Eureka has plastered all over her body... but... Stupid Holland needs to stop blaming Renton for everything! Seriously. If he hits him again...! :mutter:

I know that all of this has something to do with Renton's older sister, but taking it out on Renton is wrong, Holland! D:< (I still like Holland's character, despite him beating on Renton for no good reason, but I won't much longer if this continues.)[/spoiler]

9/10!

Holland is such a SOB. I never warmed to that guy at all.

IMO, Eureka Seven needed more Dominic.

I watched The Wings of Honneamise a couple days ago. It was alright, but especially good for a show made in the late 80s.

I also decided to go watch that K-ON! thing that's been getting a lot of attention. It was... cute... I suppose I'll hop into the second season sometime in the future.

Have you watched Usagi Drop? It contrasts Clannad ~After Story~ perfectly. The Irresponsible Captain Tylor is also a good alternative for comedy.

The Cat Returns - I'm not exactly sure why this is considered one of the least-favorite Ghibli films. Honestly, I love how it blends the ordinary with the extraordinary, and it's overall just as family-friendly as Kiki's Delivery Service.

Finished Soul Eater.

Wow, that was awesome.

Started Cowboy Bebop.

Postby **Neane** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 7:40 pm

Just started watching the following:

Kaiba (Very Deep and thought provoking.)
The Tatami Galaxy (Need to be a very fast reader when watching this anime subbed.)
Lunar Legend Tsukihime (So far, very good)

@ShiroiHikari: Haha, yeah, he is, isn't he? (But I still like him anyway. :cool:

)
As for Dominic... Aww, he isn't in it that much? D: But he's funny, I loved it when he didn't know how to read a map. xD

Eureka Seven episodes 20 - 27

[spoiler]What... just happened? These last seven episodes have been full of craziness. I'm just glad Renton is back on the GekkoGo. Hopefully Holland will come to terms with the fact that he wasn't chosen, and apologize. I loved the fluff between Renton and Eureka. =3 (However, I don't really like opening 3, opening 2 was better imo. I do like ending 3 though.) And I wasn't sad when Charles died since I didn't like his character that much. (I do like Ray though.)[/spoiler]

This show is seriously awesome, and all the action scenes are super cool.

Still 9/10.

Clannad After Story 19
[spoiler] Ushio.is. so. cuuuuuuuuuute.
Oh, and Fuko's back too. Yay!
And I knew from the beginning Tomoya would make up with his father, I just knew it. =D
This anime better not throw any more plot twists at me...[/spoiler]

Gurren Lagann 25 - 26
[spoiler]Ok, as a general rule, don't kiss Yoko before a battle or you're gonna end up dead. Case in point, Kamina and Kittan.
Also, the characters in their 'dreams' was interesting, and for reasons I'm not sure of, Viral's dream reminded me of Lord of the Rings, though I don't know how. Also, Viral saying his dream was sappy was extremely funny.[/spoiler]

[SPOILER]To be fair to Yoko, Kittan knew he was volunteering for a suicide mission before he kissed her. Also, it's great they spend pretty much a whole episode on Kittan's sacrifice, when all the secondary characters who barely got named get wiped out in thirty seconds.[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER]I guess you could say that]

So...yeah. All I can add is that if you've liked TTGL so far, you'll enjoy the ending just as much.

That's why I usually watch multiple genres of anime instead of just one kind...

Postby **ShiroiHikari** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 11:46 am

Still watching Chou Wataru, on like episode 39 of 51 or thereabouts.

Other than that, I'm watching Persona 4 and Gundam AGE every week. Don't have much to say about AGE yet; P4 is disappointing me.

Also gonna watch Redline pretty soon and maybe gonna start Guilty Crown because why not.

Ehhhhh? Clannad and Gurenn Lagann are about as different as night and day. I can't imagine they'd be in the same genre...lol

Well, I guess I didn't mean genre, what I meant was.
Sad/angsty & happy/go-lucky types of shows.

But I guess many shows have their ups and downs, sometimes you just can't win.

12 Kingdoms 1-3- This is really, really interesting. I'm intrigued by the world, the prophecy, the politics that are in this show. I'm totally enjoying it!

I'm going to try to watch it again, because the first time I tried to watch it I found it really boring.

I'm watching The Wallflower. It's hilarious! It's a funny reverse harem, kinda like Ouran Highschool Host Club.

Postby **Vii** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 10:11 pm

Blah, sorry for the double post.

Clannad 21-22

What in the...what? I...just...what?
[spoiler] Yeah, so Ushio dies, then...how in the world is that robot Tomoya? I guess the world got redone, yet Tomoya and Nagisa still remember everything. So the world where Nagisa and Ushio die was just an experience or lesson for Tomoya to learn or something?

Anyhow, with all the character development Tomoya's gone through, he's turned from a pranky, rebellious teenage boy who doesn't like his life to a loving caring father who appreciates it. That's a LOT. *applauds*[/spoiler]
That...was a good anime.
Oh wait! There's an extra...

Now, I should really watch the OVA's because I never did...

My library has the special edition which comes with the glossary

It's defnitely helpful!

I watched the Time of Eve movie last night.

It's a glorious movie, and I really hope they make a sequel to finish up the few threads of plot they didn't finish. Despite this lack of absolute closure, the movie was still very good. It was funny, serious, slightly romantic, and even sad.

Postby **Blitzkrieg1701** » Wed Oct 19, 2011 5:47 pm

Watched Ninja Cadets the other night. Not bad by any means, but spectacularly average (and it's one of those 90's OVAs that just stops without any resolution)

Postby **ShiroiHikari** » Wed Oct 19, 2011 7:11 pm

Only a few eps of Chou Wataru left-- [stuff] is getting real, and I am enjoying it very much. I don't know what it is about kids' anime that appeals to me so much.

[SPOILER]In Clannad, the only way to save Nagisa and Ushio is to create a miracle. In order to create a miracle, Tomoya needs to gather lights that are from peoples' happiness. In order for Tomoya to be able to gather these lights, Ushio needed to create the Illusionary World and the robot in order to send Tomoya back to collect the lights by helping people around him. Once Tomoya collects enough lights, Nagisa is saved and Ushio can send him back to a point in time before Nagisa gives birth to Ushio, but this time, she doesn't die.[/SPOILER]
