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

This is pretty much subject to opinion, and I don’t really care if he likes the show or not.
I’ve watched tons of shows that strayed from its manga adaptions, some faster than others. Doesn’t mean I have to hate the show just because it didn’t follow suit.

Seriously guys, we can stop having FMA 2k3 vs BH discussions already. Nothing will ever come of it.

Having recently caught up with the Fairy Tail manga (spoilers abound)-
1- Ultear’s outfit during the island arc is friggin’ sexy
2- All that happened in the past 20-ish chapters are pretty much ‘meh’ to me; the series hasn’t been impressing me for the past few years. I did like it at the start but I’m not feeling entertained by it anymore…and yet I still catch up to it every 6 months…
3- Ultear being Ul/Ur’s daughter seems like a last minute idea, I don’t see how she could be her daughter
4- Needs more Gajeel

That’s what ANN does when they don’t know the total number of episodes they’ll be at the end. They just list what they know so far. If you look at the Bleach page, it says 358 eps. We all know it ain’t gonna end there and if you check back in a several weeks time, it’ll probably be updated to some other random number. But yea shit’s still misleading as hell.

Was this posted yet? Interviews with the voice actors of the Berserk animated movies:

So I can’t cancel my order on Saber Cuirassier on HS apparently… I got 2 coming in now. Anyone want the other one? PM me and I’ll see if I can change the shipping address.

what’s that ?

Anyway: Just finished Children Chasing Lost Voices…

It was very sweet, not as apocalyptic as Princess Mononoke though.

Art’s amazing though.

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni! episode 7 is the most epic shit ive seen in a long time, LMAO!!!

Mirai Nikki moved to Wednesdays? FML.

Final results time! I guess tallying the earlier votes seem a lot more effective since not a lot of people voted for the final list. Was nice to experiment, anyhow.

And your winners are…

Spoiler

Best Male Character:

Kotetsu T.Kaburagi (Tiger & Bunny) ||||
Okabe Rintaro (Stein’s Gate) |||
Hideyoshi Kinoshita (Bakatest S2) |
Rider (Fate/Zero)
Taketo Akutagawa (R-15) |

For my own vote, it was pretty difficult to choose either of the characters because both are lightyears ahead of your typical teenage harem leads. But Kotetsu has this charm which makes you root for him, even though every other hero is more super powered than he is.

Best Female Character:

Ohana Matsumae (Hanasaku Iroha) ||
Homura Akemi (Madoka) |||
Minene Uryu (Mirai Nikki)
Chihaya Ayase (Chihayafuru)
Shiguma Rika (Haganai)
Kaga Rin (Usagi Drop) |
Chihaya Ayase (Chiayafuru) |
Chifusa Manyu (Manyuu Hikenchou) |
Hideyoshi Kinoshita (Bakatest) |
Sawako Kuronoma (Kimi ni Todoke S2) |

Homerun’s devotion to saving Madoka triumphs over all.

Blood C |

Huh, our first and only tied vote. Though I gotta say, Gintama’ still provided way more hilarity than Nichijou (it wasn’t that bad, but it was certainly a mixed bag)

Mirai Nikki
Kimi no Tokode
Kaiji
Steins;Gate
Ano Hana ||
Hanasaku Iroha |||

Blue Bookmark (Anohana OP) |
Hacking to the Gate (Steins;Gate OP) |
Hana no Iro (Hanasaku Iroha OP1)

Disturbing theme and some wicked visuals. Sure sounds like a good OP for MN to me!

Best Movie:

REDLINE ||||
Hoshi Wo Ou Kodomo |
Sengoku Basara: The Last Party |
Macross Frontier: Saynora no Tsubasa |

Pretty much what kenu said. Nothing surprising about this one here.

Yikes. And I wonder why I don’t watch GC.

Worst Series:

Gundam AGE |
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?
Blood C |||
Puella Magi Madoka Magica |
Anohana |

Saya can’t even protect her own show from being the worst that is.

Best Troll of 2011:

Gundam AGE
Blood C |||
Level E ||
Tiger & Bunny

…but she sure did troll the fans of the Blood movie!

Most Underrated of 2011:

Chihayafuru |||
Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san |
Kami-Sama no Memo-Chou |
Blood C
C3 |
Softteni |
Ben-To |

Honestly, despite the subject matter sounding not-so-entertaining in real life, the series does have a lot of character development which is actually well done.

Best Series of 2011:

Puella Magi Madoka Magica ||||
Tiger & Bunny ||
Steins;Gate |
Anohana |

Surprised? Nope.

Again, thanks everyone for contributing. Here’s to a better year (one which will probably be dominated by Nisemonogatari, I’d expect).

Nisemonogatari isn’t going to be all of 2012, silly.

ftfy

True but with the way the seasoning starting and based on bakamontogari Sp? and katanagiirri sp? it shouldn’t disappoint .

So tempting, but I better save my money. Though it’s still really tempting me. What you could do is keep one in a box and sell it later. You could probably make some money in the process.

Yea I have a Hitagi statue, unopened, that I’m thinking of parting with sometime into Nisemonogatari’s run. I think it might fetch some good money considering it’s quality and demand might be a little higher for a collectible while the character is relevant. I also think it’s out of print so that might help me some to.

Which Hitagi statue is it?

#mce_temp_url#

That one.

Oh that one, got some interest in it so when you decide to sell it mind pm’ing me?

And blech, I hate Amiami new layout.
