Fruits Basket was also enjoyable for something light hearted that you didnt need to pay much attention do.

Light hearted? How far along are you?

That sounds forboding....Which has confused me, considering that i just read a brief synopsis which said that it's essentially the Anti-Evangelion in terms of general good feels.
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

Nearly through Heaven's Feel in FSN. (Day 12/16, so a bit more to go)

I cannot believe I'm saying this, but there may be a person in this story who is worse than Shinji Matou. I still hate him, but... holy crap, ZOUKEN!  :mad:

Awesome that Rider's finally getting a chance to shine though. And I'm liking Ilya's characterization in this route.

I also loved the fact that both Shirou and Tohsaka were complaining about Kirei going on and on in every scene he's in. That made me laugh a bit, because his long-winded exposition dumps do tend to wear on my patience.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
I am referencing to the Fruits Basket Anime, not the Manga.

I enjoyed it more in a light-hearted sense. It was easy to understand and enjoy. How far along?, finished it.

From my understanding, the Anime stays mostly faithful to the Manga, but with some decent changes, like the curse is not broken in the Anime version.

At least he didn't try to say Puella Magi Madoka Magica was 'lighthearted'.

What are you talking about? Of course it was! Whenever i need a good chuckle, I just whack an episode on and let the good times roll. There's nothing as entertaining as seeing people fall into a pit of endless dispair.  :mad2:

define "creepy"

I strongly advise not highlighting this spoiler unless you are prepared to ascend to a higher level of "this is really seriously screwed up and ****ing wrong".

Spoiler:

****. :banghead:

EDIT: What I meant to do was tell you how you've convinced me not to read the spoilers. But clicking the quote revealed it to me anyway. :nono:

Also, third movie's coming.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
I have finished Fate Stay Night.

Went back and snagged the alternate endings to UBW and Heaven's Feel as well. May go after the Tiger Dojos just for fun too.

Pretty amazing piece of work, all things considered. In terms of routes, I'd say:   Unlimited Blade Works > Heaven's Feel > Fate.

I liked Heaven's Feel despite it being very depressing in some places, but the final exposition on just what the Holy Grail War was and how it was started was interesting. I also think it had the most emotional/dramatic and enjoyable climax out of all of them, but Unlimited Blade Works is still my favorite route overall.

If I had any complaints (possible spoilers, so...)
Spoiler:
it's that the sex scenes were... laughably written. Maybe it's just the English translation, but I could not take those seriously. That and Shinji being an absolute douche out of all douchebags ever (even Zouken got some token humanizing moments... granted, they were VERY few, but it's more than Shinji got!). The Fate route was kind of underwhelming as well, between Saber's rather bland personality and Shirou being stupid.

I think I might watch Fate/Zero now. Is there any word on how good Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is? I've heard it's in the process of being translated.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
I'm done with Evangelion now, at least until 3.0 is released in the US anyway. I did just receive the first volume of the manga from Amazon, though I haven't started reading it yet.

Next up, the Appleseed movies.

I have finished Fate Stay Night.
That's on my bucket list of anime to watch. What did you think of it?

 
Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
I didn't watch the anime, I played the Visual Novel.

My thoughts can be found in the post right above your own.

well i'm rewatching farscape (i will not let the 'series' part of this thread's title go in vain!)
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

I did not like the first one, and didn't follow up with the sequel(s).  It was pretty obvious and boring, IIRC.

sea food metaphors are infamous. But no one reads the novels for those scenes. :p

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
I was thinking about looking up this manga that I read a little bit off, a couple of years ago back at school. The problem is that I can't remember the name of the blasted thing. Can anyone give me a hand? It was about a girl with stigmata who is protected by a boy with a red Hand Cannon from some form of bad guy/organization or another.

Since remembering it, I've been going mad trying to find the blasted thing.

That really doesn't narrow it down, much.  :P
