DBZ airs in like 3 days? Wait really? Where was I? Lol.

I'm surprised there hasn't been an announcement if Funimation or Crunchyroll will pick it up

Watched the first episode of Gate and I have to say I am very interested.

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

Some shows I've watched the first episodes of:

Gangsta - Everything I thought it would be. Two cool protagonists, lots of good action and a surprising bit of sign language with a deaf character.

Classroom Crisis - Kind of reminds me of Eureka Seven meets Amagi Brilliant Park. Big cast of characters.

Rokka no Yuusha - Fantasy setting with a cool Aztec like civilization. The animation and music were nice, should be pretty good.

Ushio To Tora - Reminds me of of school shows like Yu Yu Hakusho.

Charolette - Show looks amazing because of P.A Works animating, but with this being a show from Key, things will get heavy.

Lots of good shows this season, with Gate included. Non Non Biyori also has a second season.

I definitely think I'm going to enjoy watching Charlotte. Key's works always strike a nice balance between drama and the supernatural, with the two often colliding in unimaginable ways.

The MC is definitely reminding me of Lelouch and Light Yagami (only much dumber).

They aren't forums but I use the chats on Pokémonshowdown.com and http://rawrmedia.chatango.com

Animesuki.com I heard people use before. It's a forum site.

I use to browse Animeondvd quite a bit, but they've changed hands and I don't know who the hell runs it now. There is AnimeSuki, MyAnimeList, Crunchyroll's forums, AniDb's forums and a couple others. I became more of an image board guy due to the no accounts and instant back and forth.

So anyone else watching Gate at all?

The first episode looked promising from the previews I've read, but I'll prob wait until the third episode to decide if I want to follow it or not.

What image boards you use?

Also I watch the first episode of GATE and it was actually pretty good. Crazy it's a 24 (two cour) episode series.

I use to be a 4chan and 2chan guy. 4chan mainly for things like /a and 2chan when things would air and people would post pics as it aired. But with Crunchyroll and tons of other things now(live reactions and the like) I stopped going to both.

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

Jesus Gate kills a lot of people. Lol. I had to laugh at the horses vs tanks though. What is it, 200k dead in first 2 episodes?

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

Three episodes into Owari no Seraph and I'm loving it so far. Brooding atmosphere, good music, and slick animation thanks to Studio Wit(Attack on Titan). The first season is twelve episodes, with a second one already in the works.


I'll put it in spoilers, but

Spoiler

the show really has a Wolf's Rain vibe to it in that I can already guess how it will end or what the big revelation moment will be. They're quickly going through world building and him training in the first few episodes.

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

So anyone getting that Sword Art Online game releasing for PS4?

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

Finished the rest of Owari no Seraph. Thoughts below:

Spoiler

The ending for the first half seemed rushed. My only big gripe is that for a studio like Studio Wit, the fight scenes were really lackluster. They reminded me of 90's anime fights with the "speed lines" on screen over still images to depict armies fighting each other. I'm not sure if they didn't have the budget or didn't want to animate them, but it stood out.

Aside from that, it was a really solid show. They set it up well for the second half airing this October.

So anyone getting the J-Stars game?
