Prospective members

Hello prospective members of my future fan club.

No, just kidding. I'm a dumbass. *wave* Hello. My friend over there, who goes by Gwonam, introduced me to this forum. He said you were all rampaging hellbeasts from the blackest underdeep and that we'd get along swimmingly. I hope this is so.

The underdeep houses that which cannot be spoken of, for it is under the deepest reaches in the abyss beneath the bottom of the most bottomless pit. Drake couldn't find his way up from it. It's that serious.

Welcome, sir.

Starting to feel out of place with my non-anime avatar here

Hows it going eh?

Hey, cut me some slack. Megaman X was a game long before it got weeaboo.

hello!!!

To be fair, I've used Char/Quattro as an avatar for... going on ten years, now. It's no recent trend on my part!

I'm into a lot of things, but music is my lifeblood. It can soothe an aching soul or raise an army. It will always be one of the biggest things in my life.

I feel like Anime shows actually look pretty sick. Haven't started a single new series since the elementary school days of DBZ, Yu-Gi-Oh, and those shows that everyone watched. Atlus Games should make an Anime. The videogame Catherine was very fun

What kind of music are you into?

byd: go watch Last Exile. Everyone tries to say Bleach and Nayrudo Sand Ninjerz are the best, but Last Exile is seriously one of the best anime I've seen ever. Adventurous, perilous and flat out boss.

Mr. Momentary enjoys everything. He's like a music whore - he can't just sleep with one genre, he has to give AIDS to them all.

Atlus should make a movie, you say? Well, now that you mention it...

... aw, can't link for seven days! Well, youtube search Persona 3 The Movie PV 02.

I'm into a lot of stuff. Pretty much everything. Gwonam will tell you, I have one of the most eclectic playlists of all time. Most things can appeal to me if well-produced. My soul is for music. I can link some examples, though!

Post some of that new/retro wave stuff. That rocked!

I don't think I'm allowed to! It said I had to wait seven days.

Ahh, I remember that limitation. Feels bad, man.

It's cool. If anyone's interested, I can always just list partial links. It ought to allow that.

Looks decent, know any good torrents for it?

Hi. You're Ant's and Baldman's friend so I'm guessing you're a terrible human being.

Enjoy your stay!

I don't think it's out yet actually. It's based on the game Persona 3, might even just be the story outright as a movie.

Hello mortal

Damn raul, that's harsh. You know I always had nothing but respect for you.

Your shiny head blinds my judgment Jerry.

I'd be interested in the kind of after 9pm type of gritty anime.
Are the dubs brutal?

i just finished last exile a few weeks ago, it was fantastic

berserk

i can't think of anything more brutal-tastic...maye elfen lied but I actually haven't seen that one yet (i have only heard about how ridiculously graphic it is)

berserk was fucking amazing though.  and last exile is really good if you want to give that a shot, its just not "Gritty".



ALSO WELCOME TO THE FORUM MOMENTARY.  i am lor.

Perhaps not, but Last Exile isn't too far off from being grim, either. It channels a lot of "fear of the unknown," if that makes any sense. It isn't graphic or anything, but it is most certainly higher tier material. It's thought fodder - most anime don't even get that far without "kawaii desu ne ^___^ lucky star-u"

Never watched season 2 though. I heard it was complete garbage.

fam the silver wing or something? yeah i heard it was awful too so i didn't watch it either

I'll see if I can torrent the first season tonight
What are these shows about fellas?

Last Exile has plenty of story arcs, but by and large it's a steampunk world called Prester with two nations gutting each other for resources in an enduring war of attrition while one organization called the Guild acts as an an executive hand in the affairs of the world. Fighting is done primarily on small aircraft and flying fortresses, yet the diversified rules of war instated by the Guild act like a universal Nuremburg should anything be done that violates their code.

I'm sure you can see where this is going without revealing characters or too much more, but it's still a very interesting watch.

I'm picturing Fallout 3 + Dragonball Z

It's pretty rad. I'd definitely recommend it.

I like how your introductory topic turned into weeaboos. Everything you touch turns into azns.

You're allowed to post in other threads eh bud?

I don't watch that Naruto crap.

Naruto is indeed, crap. It makes intelligent children drown themselves in sandboxes.

Also, yeah I'm allowed to post in other threads of course, but I've been busy the last couple days so I've only been checking this one. Also Gwo, did you tell Taxman who I am yet? Heh.

berserk
too lazy to write my own description
http://myanimelist.net/anime/33/Berserk

Taxer, if you recall from PSU/IRC, this is Aewyn, lord of the Necrodeathmortem and tyrant of the underdeep.

Berserk does seem to appeal to me a bit more. Looks pretty hardcore. And only one season- that's how you know its underrated when it only has one season
Alright- good- to the piratebay tonight

Hold a tick- looks like Last Exile is on Netflix
That makes life easy

Deathnote is the most popular show right?
Does it live to the hype?

I wouldn't touch Death Note with a 10 foot pole. That series is a bane to decent anime, more in the vein of Naruto/Bleach/whatever other refuse is passed off for acceptable animation.

What's unentertaining about it?

Deathnote is CSI for weeaboos.

Hahahaha, that picture is brilliant. It's a shame you left out the Forsaken Necroforest.

Saw the first ep of Last Exile.
Damn that animation is pretty good. By reading that last post, what is the difference between The Guild and the Dissive group? It took me a while to figure out what that one solider kept repeating but I think he was saying "Dissive bullets will avoid ____ _____ (his name)'s body"

Name sounds familiar but don't remember who or what he is.

Mullen Shetland. He's talking about how Disith (the country he's fighting against, him being an Anatoray soldier) bullets will avoid his body if he keeps chanting that phrase. His character is very likable as he stops being a coward but never stops being scared. It's an interesting duality that causes a lot of problems for a lot of characters that he resolves in many ways midway through.

Basically, the Guild regulates war so that there isn't a "war monopoly" if that makes sense. Disith is merely a pawn on the board.

Pretty interesting so far, just finished the second episode
Corny, but pretty entertaining- quite a bit of action actually.
No idea what is going to happen next

deathnote isn't bad.  there is no way it should be compared to naruto/bleach shonen animes.  first off, it only has 32 episodes, and no filler (which those other animes have in abundance).  the only thing it has in common with those animes is the fact that its popular.  its not even in the same genre.  granted, some people hate the ending, but the first half of it is pretty freaking gripping.  one of those animes that makes you want to watch the next episode just to see what happens because you cant handle it.  its actually a really well-thought out anime in my opinion.  dont judge till you've tried it and dont be scared of it just because of its fanbase.  i've seen some comparisons of the anime equivalent to breaking bad which (even though i dont watch breaking bad (all my friends do though so i know whats going on)) i feel is a logical comparison.  lots of cat and mouse types of games and neat plot turns.  

on the other hand, if you dont like it, its fine, its just not your type of show.  another anime that is frequently compared to it which i like a lot better is code geass.  holy shit i loved that show.  it has the "WHAT THE FUCK IS GONNA HAPPEN NOW" factor deathnote has but times ten in my opinion.  plus its a 50 episode anime...i watched that fucker in like a week cuz i got too addicted to it.  (7 episodes a day? holy shit i must have been doing absolutely nothing that week...but yeah....loved it...ending is fucking awesome too actually)

also im glad your liking last exile so far. its really awesome anime.

I guess I overreacted - you're right, it isn't as typically bad as the others with their nonsensical filler - but I was so off put by its deus ex machina that I spat in its direction.

I am an anime noob.
Do they typically make them PG rated? Not that I'm complaining that The Last Exile isn't violent enough but its definitely for all ages. How do these other shows vary with violence and whatnot?
Sometimes I feel that plots are stronger when they aren't afraid of toning everyone down

in short, it varies greatly. haha definitely give berserk a try if you want gore sex and violence (That link is for the movie i haven't seen yet... havent seen any of the movies yet actually...gotta get on that) apparently elfen lied is even more graphic but i haven't seen it yet either

Gotta get through The Last Exile then I'll hit that up

Have you ever played Eternal Sonata? It feels just like this show

no but i just googled pictures of it and I get the comparison

Is Beserk anything like DragonBallZ? I think that's what I'm looking for: an anime with hectic action or a borderline horror show

I watched 13 episodes of Last Exile and its good in the way a Pixar movie is good. It has good animation and the story is nice. But at the end its still sort of aimed for the younger teens

So I picked some random show on netflix and it was like Supernatural only anime, and I didn't like that either

I think I'm looking for either horror or action. Preferably action

If I want drama I'm likely to seek a movie instead
