Probably general what anime you watching now thread.

The last episode of Martian Successor Nadesico was very amusing. :3  I'm glad I watched it.  Pretty good series.

Only thing left is to watch the movie on the weekend, but for now I'm on to Gundam Seed.

I've already been forewarned from other sources so I'm well prepared for that. :3

Boy are you in for a surprise.

Watched the MD Geist OVAs


Expected nothing but action, and action I got with a hint of nihilism.

My friend made me watch the first couple of episodes of Evangelion. Never thought I'd like mech anime, but it's great so far.
Finished K-ON! and really regretting it. It was a huge waste of time and I hate myself for liking it so much, especially since I feel a horrible urge to buy all the K-ON! figmas now.

Ano Natsu looks pretty, but the OP seems be more high school drama than supernatural.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

There is no shame in liking K-On, it is a light hearted show filled with all the fluff high school girls do.
It is fantastic, a patron in the hall of fame of what Anime offers American Cartoons don't.

No seriously, it is not always about rescuing princesses or stopping a bad guy from taking over a faraway country in a strange land far far away.
etc.

K-On is PERFECTO, also, Mugi forever.
Probably one of the best shows this season: Another, from episode 1 of the get go there was everything and anything that a mystery drama fan could want, this show... it is reeking of awesome.

[Moerin]

Carnival Phantasm 10!  Kohaku and Hisui finally get some decent screentime and Akiha was utterly adorable.  Also I would totally read Kohaku's fanfiction.

So, um, yeah, awesome as always, ahah~

[Grand Octopus]

MM 1-END

I watched this in the expectation that it was going to be fairly terrible. And it was. I'm not sure whether that counts as a victory or a loss.

Also ditto on the K-ON/Mugi love.

[pineyappled]

Rewatching K-ON!! episode 14 forever.

Mouretsu Pirates? Hell to the yes. OP had me upside-down and threw me in; this just looks absolutely, hilariously, ridiculously awesome. ED is pretty great too. Looking forward to watching this.

So, I watched the two episodes of this today.

Everything about this show is great. It's got space, it's got pirates, it's got what looks like will be a pirate spaceship with a crew of high school girls (yet surprisingly, absolutely no fan service), and some truly over-the-top comedy. Then there's little absurd touches like:

• The protagonist working in a maid caf?, which gradually fills up with assorted tough guys. Then her classmate shows up and orders a chocolate parfait. When a gunfight breaks out, the classmate rescues the protag, and as they later have their "what the hell was that about" conversation, the classmate is still finishing her chocolate parfait.
• "Oh, didn't I tell you? Yeah, your dad - who you never knew and you probably always wondered about - was the captain of a famous pirate ship. And he died of food poisoning, very recently, as my two friends here just told you." - "Oh, that's OK, mom. For some reason this bombshell of news doesn't bother me at all!"
• "Good morning class. I'm your new teacher. And I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm married." The entire class of groans.

I don't know if this stuff is intentionally satirical of the genre, or if the writers are just completely clueless, but either way the show works. It's ridiculous fun, and will likely be a welcome counterbalance to the heavy-duty emotional nature of Mirai Nikki and Another.

Meanwhile, Bakuman goes through the motions. Why am I still following this series? Maybe because, 15 episodes into the second season, I feel like I can't rightly drop it. And the ED is amazing.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Mirai Nikki 14 was so delightfully screwed up.

And following Mouretsu Pirates as well now. Loving the setup so far, and the charas seem fun. Second ep could have had a bit less techno-babble, but it was pretty awesome regardless. And the zero-gravity scenes were fun XD

[Moerin]

Hmmm... Think I might give the pirates a look, then.  Sounds like fun stuff, ahah~

[Janitor Morgan]

So, thoughts on CCS so far, as of episode 15:

• It's nice and whimsical, which gives it a sort of cheer-up quality, in my opinion.
• Iced has made a point of reminding me that this was a CLAMP work.
  Spoiler:

  Wondering where Tomoyo's apparent crush on Sakura, and Sakura and Li's obvious ones on Yukito, will lead...
• Spoiler:

  Drunk Kero. Just...drunk Kero. Oh, and Yukito as a magical can of mackerel.
• Seems like some of the episodes here are starting to focus more on relationships, rather than on the Clow Cards...could be interesting.

Will try to go a bit faster, but college starts up again tomorrow, and I've gotten myself sucked into various things (Shadowrun, Katawa Shoujo, etc.) now too...if I can just watch a couple episodes a day, though, that should work.

[Drake]

Second ep could have had a bit less techno-babble, but it was pretty awesome regardless.

My defense is that the techno-babble works because it will never be used in a realistic or purposeful fashion ever; it's just there to fulfill the duty of going over the watcher's head because they're using a goddamn spaceship, you shouldn't be able to understand it.

[Moerin]

Dear Moretsu Pirates,

I have in fact heard of a legal pirate.  They were called privateers.

Sincerely, Moerin~

...Other than that tiny, tiny point, the first episode was so much fun~  I think I found something to tide me over whilst I wait for season two of Fate/Zero, ahah.

[Tamer Anode/Cathode]

Dear Moretsu Pirates,

I have in fact heard of a legal pirate.  They were called privateers.

That little bit bothered you too?

That aside, I'm sticking with this series. I cannot go wrong with a series that has a theme song that Marty Friedman's involved in (yes, that is honestly the reason I picked this up).

[Moerin]

That little bit bothered you too?

It's just a tiny thing, though, so... But yeah, definitely following this one.  I cannot say no to a series whose translated name is apparently "Bodacious Space Pirates", because hells to the fuck yeah that sounds exactly like my kind of thing.

Although I'm hoping all the promotional material and the intro hasn't been faking us out and Marika actually gets to wear that awesome pirate get-up pretty soon, but this doesn't seem like the kind of show to fake us out like that so...  Because it is a pretty awesome outfit.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

oh hey, Anthy successfully dragged me into Mouretsu Pirates, so I AM IN THIS BOAT THIS SEASON YO.

hooray mainstream~

speaking of awesome costumes, I think since GINGA BISHONEN last 2 seasons ago, there hasn't been a protag with a costume as BODACIOUS/FABULOUS as the Mouretsu Pirate girls.

[Tengukami]

The best thing is, Mouretsu Pirates is going to be 26 episodes.

Mirai Nikki 14:
Hell yes, Yukii just became Yukiteru in my eyes. Glad to see his balls finally dropped.

And Bakuman 15 was actually enjoyable, if for no other reason than I can totally sympathize with "wow you would be absolutely perfect for me were it not for the fact that you're in a loving, committed relationship with somebody else."

[Drake]

his balls drop further

EDIT: dropped like i just did to brave 10 because it's pretty friggin stupid

[Formless God]

Spring preview over. Keeping:
+ Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou - Nichijou Black Label
+ Nisemonogatari - hey guise let's talk about the best show this season
+ Keel Me Baby.fla - ... Average but I guess I could

Spoiler:

bear

with it for a while.
+ Another - Nice premise and skyboxes, but the atmosphere wasn't really that suspenseful, and the occasional doll cuts look really edgy and stupid. Need one more episode to decide.
+ Ano Natsu - holy shit dat female cast twintails pantyhose Taiga do not steal

[♛ Apher-Forte]

Papa no Iukoto is actually... kinda watchable, I mean, I don't watch the show for lolis but the show is deadly cute and adorable.

[Fetch()tirade]

Mirai Nikki 15:
- I love how Yuno doesn't have to be present but still be creepy at the same time.

"Hey, Yukkii, why am I tied up?"

CROSS COUNTER and cougars? 8th

- I withdraw the previous statement.
- Yuno is

Spoiler:

one hell of a drug.

- what is this i don't even

[Tengukami]

The comedy relief in Mirai Nikki was most welcome, and the "Exchange Galleries" were neat. The "Flirtation Diary" was a bit of a stretch, though.

Mouretsu Pirates, I think, is a self-aware parody of the entire "girls in space" genre. I became convinced of this when the outside mast needed to be repaired, and the girls' spacesuits had been classically designed by an otaku on the crew. There's no way the creators aren't making fun of the genre while having fun with it at the same time.

Plus, that OP is just glorious.

[Moerin]

So, the last Carnival Phantasm...

Spoiler:

WARNING!  ILLYASVIEL VON EINZBERN IS APPROACHING FAST

Damn it let me get through the whole thing without dying of laughter! >.<

[Grand Octopus]

Mirai Nikki 15

The OP's gone from god tier to dog tier. Other than that, great hair ep. Bit edgy about the fact that we're halfway through the manga with 15 eps down, 11 (?) to go.

Also I had no idea there was a Mirai Nikki visual novel. Apparently it came out in early 2010, but then I found this website and it makes me wonder if they're remaking/re-releasing it. If 4/26 is the release date it'll be about when the anime ends.

Several innovations make this game stand out, such as the Yandere Operation system, which entails Yuno eliminating some of your choices when her bar is full (sometimes for better, sometimes for worse).
