WING and 00 are the same basic frame work from the opposite perspective. Freedom fighters fighting for independence vs terrorists fighting to destabilize the world for their own ends. I think 00 does a better job of this, for the most part. I would love to see another in this style but done much much more serious.

Yes they are selling kits but some turn it into a mecha of the week fest.

im suprised noone has mentioned after war gundam x or turn a yet being that both of those were good imo. victory gundam kinda sucked though lol.

Glad you're enjoying it
definitely not for everyone but a nice change of pace from the typical stuff
very serene and warm story telling

confession time:
I know it's cliched and not very good but
I'm a sucker for soccer anime

so really enjoying Knight In The Area

oh and also enjoying the Naruto non-filler episodes going on right now

Just finished watching Grave of the Fireflies for one of my classes. It was pretty good despite being one of the most depressing movies I've ever watched.

*kingkilburn* · 02-10-2012, 10:13 PM

I bit the bullet and stated watching Initial D.

1. Would have been WAY better without the cheesy CGI cars. The ones that are actually hand drawn look great.

2. Why does every character look like a five year old drew a face on a shovel? An ugly face at that.

EDIT
His crappy friends sound like a bunch of agents trying to boss around a client that doesn't need them.

Emulates the original manga style. I hated it at first but a few episodes in you "forget about it". They also restyle the series twice. Second season is clean but stiff animation, and IIRC Season 3 forward it becomes crisp and modern.

*kingkilburn* · 02-10-2012, 10:27 PM

It is abundantly clear that that artists is much better at mechanical and architectural things than at people. Ugh

I know how you feel, wish someone had warned me it was going to bum me out. All I heard was "it's good".

*kingkilburn* · 02-11-2012, 12:27 AM

If we had told you how completely depressed it would make you would you have watched it?

Yellow4g63 · 02-11-2012, 12:41 AM

I would have passed on it and taken my friends word for it. It's the same reason I didn't watch usagi drop.

Promise you, it gets better.

Spoiler, kind of...

The last season has bunch of butt clinching moments. Please tell me you're watching the Japanese version too, the redone American one are TERRIBLE.

*kingkilburn* · 02-11-2012, 01:47 AM

Whatever netflix has. At this point I'm only watching for the car stuff. I'm already tired of the rhythm of the show as well as all the characters but the dad. The budding bromance of the two knight kids is some what entertaining.

This show suffers greatly from battlesdragonitus. Its got it DBZ bad. It doesn't take an hour and a half to blast down a foothill road at speed.

LoneStarSilvia · 02-11-2012, 02:09 AM

Well if they're speaking in Japanese, but with English subtitles, that's the good one. I agree, the characters aren't eye popping or intriguing, but the action and cars are the star of the show. If you get bored, just skip ahead, you won't miss too much story wise.

g00se · 02-11-2012, 04:27 AM

Have you guys seen Welcome to the NHK? Its kind of odd at first but i got really into it.

Ah but if your being paid per episode it's in your favor to milk it.

Just like Bleach, Narato and any other +100 episode show. They go on and on and on - just like American sit coms. Very little is really happening.

12-24 episodes series are best.

word sux · 03-04-2012, 02:26 PM

2 season anime's are usually the best the only problem is that they then leave you wanting more

just finished 2, 2 season anime. one sucked and one was brilliant

first off rosario + vampire is just terrible. worst written anime you will ever hope to find.

on the other hand spice and wolf is the complete opposite. amazing anime with some great writing and character development. I have heard allot about this series but have put off watching it until now. very dialog heavy but the dialog is witty and well done. I loved it, and have also heard they will be releasing a much awaited 3rd season in november.

Spice and Wolf I loved it. Can't wait for the season 3. Rosario + Vampire was just fan service lol.

word sux · 03-04-2012, 02:44 PM

I have really learned to not judge a book by its cover, I had been putting off spice and wolf for awhile because I figured it would be very corny. I am happy I was wrong.

About to rewatch akira in 1080p then check the lastest hellsing ultimate 9 that came out just recently

DenkiMan! · 03-04-2012, 02:55 PM

just started trigun, liking it alot so far. im on episode 10

I also wonder what Remon's deal is, she is quite mysterious, but makes things fun.

I think she is an alien too from the planet loli.

*kingkilburn* · 03-04-2012, 04:21 PM

I only gets better. The Humanoid Typhoon does not disappoint.

denian_cellphone · 03-04-2012, 04:27 PM

can't go wrong with gundam series especially wing and 00, full metal alchemist BROTHERHOOD, and death note!

im currently watching mirai nikki, another, and hunter x hunter (remake). Those three are currently on-going and so far they pretty good. OHH GUNDAM UNICORN is epic but its like 1 ep every 4 months.

as far as i know there isnt a 3rd season planned.

lewisfk · 03-04-2012, 10:34 PM

im currently watching these anime, Brave 10, Naruto Ship. Bleach, Fairy Tail, Guilty Crown, and Hakuouki. I enjoy them all but Bleach and Naruto have to many fillers! There full of action and F.T. is very funny at times and very predictable at times!

from what I have heard they already have the purchased time slots and hired the voice actors

this maybe all gossip but I have heard from several sites people talking about a 3rd season this fall. I don't see why they wouldn't either it was very well liked in Japan and they have plenty of material to work with now that the books are finished (at least the main story is).

daftphunk · 03-05-2012, 11:40 AM

Just started watching fairy tail. Pretty funny and cool to watch. I like it

kenshinS14sks · 03-06-2012, 11:12 AM

just finished gurren lagann! pretty entertaining...having no expectations running into it randomly on netflix

halfway through samurai 7, ALSO pretty entertaining

and initial D i was reading the manga but got over it...just way too repetitive and the anime was just too horrible...couldn't get myself past ep 10

*ManoNegra* · 03-06-2012, 12:23 PM

Initial D, imo, has to be seen in context
what I mean by that is that this show is over a decade old
and pre-dates F&F, D1, Formula D, etc.
It was out before most people here knew what a 240 was.
Sure, the animation sucks and the characters can be annoying at times
(not to mention how much better anime production has gotten since)
but at the time it was really cool and grabbed the imagination of would be car people.

Personally, I don't know if I would have found my way to 240s had it not been for it.
I see it now and it's kinda depressing just to know how much influence it had over me.

in other news,
Another is probably my favorite show of the season.
