OP and ED aside, OH MAN MUGIxRITSU EPISODE :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :*

this is my new OTP :* :* :* :*

Oh man Mugi is a masochist like Tenshi :3



That was my favourite episode by far.

Mugi :*:*:*

If the Endless Eight conversation is still going on, I watched all 8 episodes because it was fun to see how they changed things around. There's a Nico Nico Douga video somewhere that plays all eight at once. That, and the discussions made it really fun(on Gamefaqs). A bunch of people would rage and claim they would drop the series, only to be back a week later; some would try to predict when it would end, and somewould troll the other two groups. Oh, and can't the memes and the shops, those were fun too.It was like Bleach chapter discussion, only more rage-filled due to higher expectations.

[Nobu]

I have a tendency to drop series halfway, even with series that I enjoy. Did it with Lucky Star, did it with K-on!! (i'm like 6+ episodes behind x_x), and definitely did it with Haruhi season 2. By the time I heard from someone that Endless Eight was over, I never bothered to check out the rest.

Though, I HAVE to check out that new opening and ending. Ritsu with her hair down :* And Azusa with a ponytail is :* as well

[Fluffy Rocket Tails]

I'm always just a little bit hesitant to check out anime/film/etc adaptations without checking out the source material. Do you think I should check out Twelve Kingdoms anyway?

You could.  It should be understandable enough even if you didn't read the novels, there are some references in the anime to things that happen in later books, I found myself going, "Oh! It's that guy from the one book!" or similar phrases, but it's nothing important.  It may be more difficult to understand at first and it starts slow, but there is eventually a recap episode where things are explained, until then you're not exactly supposed to know what's going on anyway.
The adaptation is both different and the same enough (because of course that makes sense) that if you read the novels later they'll likely still be enjoyable, and the anime is still enjoyable if you read the novels first.
But unless you really hate reading or something I recommend that you do read the novels eventually because they are amazing.

Guess where those high expectations came from :|

There's the movie left, I really hope I don't have to do the impossible to be able to watch it, though it sounds unlikely to ever reach Europe.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

if no one is watching Ookami-san you should pick it up. because KNUCKLE NEKO GLOVES.

Well, most of it seemed to be because they thought they weren't going to do Disappearance. Once the movie came out, I think most of the rage fizzed out. It  was fun while it lasted. Btw, how was Sighs, I never finished it, didn't have time after the first episode of it. btw, you know when the Nanoha movie and the yugioh 10th anniversary special are coiming out on dvd(in Japan.)

[Kasu]

That's like the only anime I actually picked up from the summer season.

I watch it because it amuses me immensely.

EDIT:  Whoa man.  Katanagatari was crazier than usual this month.

28 Boobs Later

Yep that covers HoTD quite well :3

[Aoshi-shi]

Finished reading Hellsing. The ending was more or less ok. I guess.

Spoiler:

Although I'm still a little sad that Pip died.

What shall I pick up next?

[♛ Apher-Forte]

excuse me, but I think the main star of the show is Hirano.

[Suikama]

excuse me, but I think the main star of the show is Hirano.

This is 110% the truth

[Alfred F. Jones]

What shall I pick up next?

Rurouni Kenshin

Anyway, reading Kamikaze Girls right now. Momoko is a hilarious narrator with terrible priorities. I like her!

[JT]

Found some concept art stuff that might interest fellow HotD fans:

Takashi
Hisashi
Rei
Shizuka (nsfw?)
Saeko
Hirano
Saya

The nurse is huge. You know, tall. She's, uh, really tall.

Also, I'm waiting for that Simon Pegg cameo.

Rurouni Kenshin is getting a live action adaptation.

and I am dying in anticipation cause one of my favorite actors is in it.

Who is it, and I hope it's not another Avatar fiasco, Rourouni Kenshin seems to be one of those shounens that are liked by everyone.

[An Odd Sea Slug]

Rukenshin is different from most other Shonen in that its actually good. Very good actually, right up their with Yuyu Hakusho, and the earlier parts of JJBA. God, I miss Toonami now. I've been managing to miss all week for some reason...

Also, live action Roukenshin: Ahahaha, NO.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

Haters gonna hate Live Action so yeah.

To begin with it is played by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuki_Sato
I'd say his best role thus far as I don't watch too much J Drama, is Kagami Arata in Kamen Rider Kabuto where he plays a bumbling task force officer seeking independence and justice in a world overrun by strange earthling masquerading / transforming creatures known as WORMs. His journey sees him best the impossible odds and emerge superior, he also later becomes Gatack (one of the hero characters).

Seeing that his biography thus far, I'd say he is a good candidate for this show as he is experienced in the media of Live Action.
He also plays Kenshin in case you wonder.

Meanwhile, despite some overwhelming similiarities, I am not in the business of subbing anime.

I did not for example, SUB the anime Asobi ni Iku Yo.
I however,recommend it.

If Alien catgirls with big boobs and plugsuits hang on to a useless guy fighting against his best friend, teacher and a mysterious girl who likes him at school who all are secretly: The CIA, the leader of a terrorist fanatical alien observation tactics force, and a superweapon secretly developed by a secret organization who also share a name with a certain white wolf tengu don't get on your attention, I sure hope the ecchi does.

Dear GOD BOOBS.

Ookami-san just keeps getting higher and higher on the awesome scale.

How have I not heard of this before

Also, finished Kamikaze Girls. I must watch the movie version of this, if it's anywhere quite as good as this book was. :3

[Matsuri]

I just read all of Solanin today. It was pretty incredible. I think I'll order a copy for my collection eventually. :3

[♛ Apher-Forte]

I skip it the first time, but you guys should check out asobi ni iku yo's soundtrack, it is really all kinds of awesome. The ED theme especially if you are the sort of person who likes cute-summerish love songs.

[Suikama]

Cat Shit One airs today :]

[♛ Apher-Forte]

what exactrly was the thing supposed to be?
the name cat shit one shounds awesome.

[Tengukami]

Ookami-san just keeps getting higher and higher on the awesome scale.

I was feeling it, then it started to lose me now that third episode came out, whose message seemed to be, "So you used to be fat and ugly when you were a kid - you're hot now! And isn't the most important thing that I, your boyfriend, think you're hot?" I was kinda like :/

I have absolutely no interest in the show whatsoever, but I heard the OP earlier and liked it somewhat.

I hope you are watching HOTD with me~ ammy.
