Anime & Manga Thread v.4 FAQ/IRC: See OP. Thread over. Move onto v.5

Anohana 8 was so fucking amazing. I need a time machine so I can travel to the future and watch the last 3 episodes. If it werent for e3 coming up in a few days the wait for the next episode would be extremely brutal

I almost cried a little toward the end of Ano Hana 8. Lots of emotion in this episode. Probably the best episode so far. Really looking forward to next week’s episode.

ROBO VINCE

Okay yeah that makes sense. I guess the reason why I didn’t see it the way you did was because I was probably reading it through the “ambition is evil” lens and did not care to see Raoh’s reasons for uniting the land.

[details=Spoiler]I don’t think Raoh was ever a bad guy really. He had a questionable philosophy, but in the state of the world as it is, there was merit for why he thought that way. The story seemed to try to imply that from the very beginning. Raoh’s purpose was to unite the people of the land by any means necessary. Ken’s purpose was to free them from the tyranny that was used to unite them. If I’m not mistaken, it’s flat out state that both pieces were needed for the good of the land.

I think the problem with the early part of the story is that a lot of evil was done by others in Raoh’s name, but honestly we never really see that Raoh condones any of that and the first time we really see him encounter it, he kills the people responsible. Raoh has a hardlined attachment to the survival of the fittest philosophy which many may consider harsh. However, I don’t think he really does anything that can be flat out considered evil.[/details]

^ I think this guy had an accurate description on Raoh. Now, I see Raoh as HnK’s “Cao Cao.”

Anyway Ano Hana looks worth watching, the story looks heart touching as well. And Hidan no Aria, worth watching despite it having lolis? The gun kata action looks interesting.

barkley should have reprogrammed vinceborg to make him good before MJ killed larry bird

Yeah, honestly by the time the first arc ended Raoh become one of my all-time if not most favorite “villian”

I haven’t seen it, but I haven’t heard anything good on Hidan nor is like, anyone but Kromo watching it I think

nobody is watching hidan no aira, if you decide to watch it let me know how it is. I said I wanted to try it out at the beginning of the season.

And Kromo is only watching it because it has Loli’s in it. The quality of the show has nothing to do with it lol.

Is natsume really that good? I wanted to pick it up before the 3rd season drops, but I have a bunch of other shows to catch up on. Is it worth skipping to the top of the list?

Kenurans AV really creeps me out for some reason…

Appleseed XIII
Blade
Usagi Drop could be cool.
Blood C

Those are what I’d like to watch. We’ll see how badly i do at keeping up with them.

Of course i’ll be checkin out Robertas Blood Trail and I didn;t know they where making an another FMA movie. didn’t Brotherhood end when the Manga ended? Wonder what they’re gonna do.

I think it’s really good. Great character driven show.

Negima is still shown love? Guess that’s a definite sign for me to catch up with the manga since I left off after reading volume 6. Too bad the series never had a long running anime series like Naruto, Bleach, etc, though some would say that’s a good thing I guess.

And Nyanpire looks like something every Hello Kitty fan (aka every Asian girl) will watch. :rofl:
