Anime: Rec's and Reviews

E1CAEfAEfAu

So I figure, we'll all pretty nerdy, yeah? A good majority of you guys probably watch anime, and an even larger majority probably have shit taste.

So I'll start with a bit about what I watch and try to force my shit taste on you guys.

I've been watching anime for around 7-8 years now, excluding growing up watching Gundam and Yu Yu Hakusho. Even though I've had a power level of 7 since I was young, I've kept it hidden, but I'm a weeaboo at heart.

So on to the anime.

All time favourites
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Mobile Suit Gundam 00
Hyouka
BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad
Hunter X Hunter

What I've watched this season
Magi
Valverave: The Liberator
Suisei no Gargantia
Hataraku Maou-sama!
Shingeki no Kyojin
Yahari Ore no Seishun (this is most definitely my favourite this season)

My Dirty Little Secrets
Free! - [Gay Swimming!]
Even though it's a manga, Ichigo 100% ;_;

This is an awesome resource, taken from SA Forums:

Yahari Ore was hilariously fun, I'll give you that. Also, looking forward to a possible season two of Hataraku Maou-Sama.

E1CAEfAEfAu

I liked it because it went completely against what I thought would happen. I was expecting a standard harem, but what I got was a really intense show with good character "development".

TheXRayFactor

Based Deak

What are you looking forward now? I'm watching the new Monogatari and, obviously, Watamote, but I don't know if there are any other worthwhile ones.

E1CAEfAEfAu

I'm kind of excited for Silver Spoon, or I guess it's Gin no Saji. Blood Lad might be good. The rest I guess we have to wait and see. I'll be sticking with Hunter X Hunter though.

@ɹÇƃƃıu:
That's a nice chart, thanks!

E1CAEfAEfAu

@TheXRayFactor:
No problem. I'd keep an eye on Kimi no Iru Machi too. I remember Suzuka being pretty good, and it's by the same person.

Hey, some else who's seen Valvrave the Liberator that isn't me.

LaughingMan9

Know what grinds my gears? When people go full weaboo and pronounce things like 'Shingeki no Kyojin'. Dylon does it all the time. Its Attack on goddamn Titan.

@LaughingMan9:
I partially agree. There are some translations that just sounds ridiculous, such as Yahari Ore no Seishun to My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU

I mean, seriously?

@Chenzo:

I will rape your daughters and devour their bodies
Huh. We can’t seem to load this image.

LaughingMan9

@TheXRayFactor: Sounds like a Wayans brothers movie.

E1CAEfAEfAu

@LaughingMan9:
Yeah, I understand the feeling. I've been in the habit of remembering the non-translated titles because of the torrents I get them from.

Chenzo

( ͡° ͜ʖ

@ɹÇƃƃıu: Season 2, probably.

Chenzo

( ͡° ͜ʖ

@LaughingMan9: I'd watch it.

aWSOMN360

@forcep: Im like half way through that list. Also Angel Beats! best anime.

ReservoirDog

@TheXRayFactor: Oh god, and what is that?

TheXRayFactor

Based Deak

@ReservoirDog:
boku no pico, of course









nah, just kidding. ef: a tale of memories.

ReservoirDog

@TheXRayFactor: You are the definition of otaku (not that that is a bad thing) but I consider myself a devoted anime/manga fan and I don't know half the stuff you talk about. But I did watch the first episode of Watamote and I liked it very much, it's very funny.

Guest

@ReservoirDog:
Come on now, I have just watched like 20 animes in my life, that's hardly otaku-tier.

Anyways, it's really odd how it seems no one has ever heard about a tale of memories. Of course that's a huge generalization, but I've asked about 6 or 7 different people and no one had any idea.

Here's an excerpt that isn't that much spoilerish. I don't want to overhype anyone about that show, but it's literally the best scene I've ever seen in an anime. Everything is perfect, especially the music and sound effects.
