Inuyasha: The Final Act Talkback -- NO MANGA SPOILERS!

Death Note is pretty good so far, but I'm only like 5 episodes into it.

Honey and Clover is slowly pushing Evangelion out of my top spot. If I had a Honey and Clover poster, this might happen. But then again, maybe not.

Tim, you should watch Kino's Journey. Or Sousei no Aquarion! That show is fun, and has mech-based orgasms.

Yes! Nana is good, Elfen Lied is unique ... and Bokura ga Ita isn't half bad, but that also means it isn't half good.

I think you're supposed to watch Honey and Clover, Tim.

Don't watch Honey and Clover II. It's not good. The show ends where it's supposed to in the first season.

Fuck Shana. That show sucked. I kept waiting and waiting for it to get interesting, and didn't see it happen.

Yesterday's anime was the end of Gurren Lagann.

Today's anime is going to be Genshiken 2.

There's no way that Genshi is going to be as good as Gurren, but I'm certain I'll still enjoy it ... because Genshiken is like hanging out with the anime friends I don't have.

It's like hanging out with you guys!

SO, what anime should I be watching? I feel a hole in my heart where Gurren used to go. The shows I've tried/given up on/sorta am still watching include: Nana, Seirei no Moribito, Naruto: Shippuden, and Shana (This show sucked and I have no intention of taking it up again.)

This thread is too long for me to look through, so I'll just blindly post here:

Has anyone been watching ef - a tale of memories?

I've just watched the pilot, and it's got some pretty nice visual choices in it. It's really simple stuff about guys who like girls and meet up with them.

But there's constant camera angle changes and some nice animation. Also, the pace is slow but not stupid ... which makes the whole package compelling.

Anime is loved by the young and poor/middle class here. In Japan, it seems to be the hobby of the super-rich. Is this why the american market is drying up?

Or is it just the internet and the turn-around time of new shows?

I was making a guess; sorry if it didn't come off that way. It's just that anime is super-expensive in Japan, so I figured fans of it must be ... wealthy.

Selectbutton,

So far, as of episode one, Mnemosyne is pretty grand. I've got a crush on the protagonist, green-haired Rin.

The show is a very dark, cruel, grim sci-fi thriller about ... well, I don't know yet. The animation is really nice, and the plot is some kind of conspiracy-cloning-horror thing. There's some charm to the script, and the action is well-done.

Hey, is there a password for that RAR? Mine failed.

So, what is the SelectButton consensus? I'm going to keep going with Allison and Lillia, because I love shows that fetishize flight, no matter how basic they may be. Mnemosyne is short, so there's nothing wrong with finishing it up. I didn't mind ep. 2 of Druaga. And I'm getting my hands on Kaiba.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Hey guys, I watched the Eva movie.

Twice.

Today.

It does a pretty good job of giving fans a little more stuff to be excited about.

Guys, I'm kinda done with anime.

I liked Gurren Lagann, but ... I don't think I have liked anything since.

Seriously, I think the new Eva movie was well made.

Macross Frontier. It's got everything that I want in Anime:

Feminine Male Hero who throws Paper Airplanes a lot and looks at the sky.

Pop Star Female who has been sheltered too long to be real to people.

Little Girl with Talent and Determination, who is not reduced to fanservice.

Robots. Piloting. Flying. Flying as a fetish. Flying a lot. Flying.

Futuristic worlds that look like San Francisco.

Holographic advertising on everything.

Really great cell phones.

Is anyone trying Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu blah blah blah?

I was into this show when I thought the backgrounds were painted.

Now, not so much.

And yes, Macross Frontier begins to suck.

So, what is there to watch other than the incredible rubbish of Code Geass?

I gave up on Bokurano about 6 episodes before the end. If a show can't keep you interested that close to the conclusion, it's missing something.

I dig Eden so far. I also dig the basketball mech anime. And that one where the porno women fight each other.

Hm.. I'm tempted to try out all 3 shows.. What are the actual names of the latter 2?

Guys, have you been following Queen's Blade? It's like finding anime at your local video store, circa 1994. On VHS. Where there are panties on the box cover. It's all fighting and tits. It's the anime's anime. _________________ my website

Hey, to those who are watching Haruhi: Are the episodes being directed slightly differently each time to echo a type of anime? This one had the shots of telephone wires and such that recalled Evangelion, and then actually referred to Unit 00. I swore one of the other ones felt like Canon or whatever it was called, where girls look up at the sky and see airplanes all the time. Anyone else noticed this? _________________ my website

About lightpoles: I agree, there are many anime that use the imagery. But the ones you've listed came after Eva. _________________ my website

Yeah, I can't believe that they've made the audience wait for two years just to show them one episode over and over again. I think they're trying to demonstrate that people who watch cartoons are idiots. _________________ my website

I'm watching Brotherhood, and by episode NINETEEEEENNNNNN it's actually pretty good! _________________ my website

Hey, any of you guys seen Time of Eve? It's only six 15 minute episodes, and it's kinda compelling. Or at least, it's not total trash. It's about robots in the future. The main character finds out that his personality-free house-android has been making unscheduled stops at a cafe, and so he checks into it with his friend. I guess the first movie premiered in Japan this Saturday. _________________ my website

Guys, the best anime out there is Katanagatari. It airs once a month and has surprised me at least once an episode. It's really solid, and has a unique visual style. This image does not give you an idea of how dark this show can get. _________________ my website

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is the Evangelion of Magical Girl Shows. There have only been three or four episodes so far, but it's pretty great. Best anime of the last two or three seasons. _________________ my website

That's why I brought up Bakemono -- because of the linked staff. _________________ my website
