Spring 2008 Anime Thread -- Is It Summer Yet?
Posts
the bleach not filler isn't really that great for the most part. I just don't get the whole annoying ass side kick thing. Worse than jar jar, and I don't say things like that lightly.
But FUCK I want to strangle Usopp so he just fucking shuts up already.

I'm guessing you haven't seen it yet but later Skypiea spoilers:
Also I hate to say it, but Ussop doesn't improve throughout the arc.
For? Because if we're talking about One Piece they aren't last time I checked.
My understanding/guess was that because Funimation was going back and redubbing all the old stuff, new stuff was put on hold until that was done, but there's no evidence supporting it.
And I didn't like the Davy Back fight. It irked me in the manga, too. G8 was better than that.
Re: Ussop, he finds his balls in Water 7.
He's talking about Kaizoku, who did the lion's share of the series and are still technically subbing, but they're really far behind. Smasher, you'll have to jump amongst a couple different subbing groups to catch up, but there's two that I know of that do the newer episodes. One picks up at 294, although they've started lagging behind now, too, in terms of translations. The one which gets it out weekly picks up at 321. I presume that linking to subbing groups isn't kosher, so I won't say more than that, but I think you'll be able to bridge the gap via....3 or 4 groups, total. None of them were very poor, other than one which only handled a very small stretch.
I forgot which group I went with after I caught up with Kaizoku, but I've been following Vegapunk for the most recent episodes. Of course, they're about a dozen episodes behind themselves, but whatever.

I dare someone to sit through this whole thing.

The routes chosen just aren't satisfactory. Sakino and Yumi deserve more.
Still ep 19 has a pretty good Higurashi moment.
I swear Mao's thinking "I'm going to kill that bitch". The best part is that it starts panning over to Yumi and she's all low production values with Mao's eyes like that.
Also there's a Jigoku Shoujo Season 3 fuck yes. More Mamiko Noto and awesome OPs/EDs. I also hope for a good end this time for any of the individual stories. Just give me one.
That was pretty awesome Lucky Star mix.
I know more about that track than I do about what it was remixed with.
It's from IIDX 13, I think.

Is it powered by the blood, ego, or the Blood of Christ? :P
I don't mind bleach filler at all, but i'm not reading the manga. I'd imagine i'd be way more irritated if i was reading it.
As far as PS, yeah the peasant revolt story took up a huge chunk of the show but It felt like all of that was excellent setup for the Silver Wheel and what they're up to, At first I thought they were trying to continue the poverty and shittiness of the post-war society
It just seems like a series that could go on for a long time, The first 24 episodes of Bleach weren't exactly mindblowing if i remember correctly, and I Love that show now.
I can't get enough of this song.

Seriously people, watch it

It really is a fantastic show and I've delayed watching it till now because kaitou shows are usually pretty bad. This show has completely exceeded my expectations in every way. Chiko is adorable and Twenty Faces has this awesome Roger Smith look and vibe.

Now I have another anime series to watch along with One Piece and Macross F all thanks to you jerks.
STEAM
I really hope Klan Klein and her posse of giant women are more prominent in future battle scenes. Quadluun-Raas are so much cooler than Valkyries.
Also more GERWALKing Macross ships, fuck yeah.

I really need to decide whether to watch more again. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't...i[clicking[/i] with me, so to speak, so I went and read some of the manga. And I didn't like the manga's presentation as much as the anime, but the future story stuff sounded more interesting. And then it went all silly again. I dunno.
I want to really like it, but I just couldn't seem to.
STEAM
I read a number of chapters into the manga. Probably to about where the anime is at in episode 13 or so. It just...eh. I dunno what it is. It's probably just not for me.
I hope Episode 3 delivers.
It's possible, what are you watching now? If you haven't already, try getting Daughter of Twenty Faces and/or Kurenai.

I've never read the manga summary; I should do that.
... what? I'm curious here... how do you think the manga ends? Because it's way more depressing than the anime. Aside from the stupid little nonsensical stinger at the end at least.
it's actually kind of hard to peice together because the manga doesn't actually have it's own entry so you have to piece the summary together from the various "differences between the anime and the manga" bits of the individual character pages and the whole series page etc...
basically,
Also it's revealed that Lucy actually has 3 personalities, Nyu, Lucy, and "Lucy 2" (lucy 2 being the psychopath that wanted to kill all humans)
then 10 years later two Diclonius twins who are named Lucy and Nyu are reborn and they become friends with Kota and Yuka's daughter. So kind-of a happy ending because it's revealed that the "virus" is actually more of a cloning ability than a reproductive process so Lucy isn't actually dead, and they also don't seem to have trouble fighting the urge to murder humanity that all Diclonii supposedly have in their heads.
but maybe i interpreted the summary a lot more positively than the Manga actually portrays.
