Manga. It's like Ōkubo just couldn't be bothered with it any more and threw out a bull**** ending for the sake of forcing it to a close. And with how he's been regarding chapter releases these last two years, I was expecting it to just go unfinished.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
i'm half tempted to read the manga, since the suspense is killing me.

I'd say stay with the anime, for what I've read from other ppl that read the manga the anime is doing quite well and let's face it here, what makes this story so attracting is the fact that you spend a hole week with a thumb up your ass waiting for the next portion of the story to surface. Along with some other extras of course  :)

So, this is like those Spider-man games + Shadow of the Colossus? Es pretty cewl.

 
Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
Watching Mai-HIME.

Not bad at all. I'm about halfway through at this point and the story is beginning to get interesting. Love triangles are predictable as all hell, but they are at least watchable. Glad Funi rescued this franchise, because I may want this one.


Also decided to pick up Macross 7 for the lulz.

I'm actually surprised at the quality here. The animation is a major step up from Superdimension Fortress, the characters are likeable... and holy crap, the music is actually pretty good!
There haven't been much in the way of actual mecha battles yet, but Basara makes me laugh. He takes a total "shounen hero" approach to his music, which is rather entertaining (both his character and his music).

I am finding Exedol a little bit strange though. Why's he still macronized when it seems the rest of the Zentraedi have shrunk down?

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
Okay, finally got around to finishing Strike Witches 2 after having it sit around on my shelf for a couple of months.

Overall I did enjoy it, as I did with the first season, and there were a couple of episodes I really liked (such as episode 5 which focused on Lucchini). I'm not sure whether I do consider it inferior to the first season, like Spoon, but there was definitely one thing I thought was worse: episode 7.

The "ridiculous fanservice" one... gah, I didn't really like that one at all. It definitely wasn't as good as the seventh episode in the first season, which I found at least somewhat funny and tolerable. Other than that, though, I don't have any real problems with the season as a whole.

I fell across This in my travels across the land of "Youtube". Now I need to watch Osana Reimu.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
Finished Mai-Hime... that was a lot more intense than I was expecting. I wish it could have flowed a bit better from episode to episode though; several time I thought I'd accidentally skipped one. Also, it felt like a lot of background information was missing. Not helped by fansubs being fansubs, so you never know if they're really accurate in all their nuances.

Meanwhile Macross 7 continues to be hilariously awesome, and plot has started happening. I will say that while the love triangle was predictable, I do like how it's written. I can't quite put my finger on why, exactly, but so far it strikes me as better written than most love geometry plots.

And another episode of RWBY out tomorrow. Looks like we might get some action sequences again.

A friend recommended this to me last week and I just got around to watching the first episode about 20 minutes ago. It looks promising.

 
Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
Macross 7 done.

I actually liked this one. It got kind of super robot-y, but Macross has never been the most serious series anyway.

The story and action weren't quite as good as the original, but the music and the animation were both far superior. Sorry, Minmay, but Fire Bomber has you soundly beat.
I know I said the story wasn't as good, but the characters were very enjoyable. And for once, what romance there was was believably written with a minimum of forced drama.

And seeing Max Jenius kicking more ass than the entire rest of the fleet's elite pilots combined is always fun.

Read that they got an actual band to play the main characters, and featured that band's music as the show's soundtrack. It worked! This is the kind of music I enjoy (though Mylene's singing voice always seemed too weak when she was doing a solo song... she's much better as back-up).

HERESY


In  fact that's probably EXTRA HERETICAL. Just liking Fire Bomber is enough to get you beat up by some people I know.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
Well, I'm not going to argue that their music has good lyrics (actually, the lyrics were usually pretty cheesy and silly... but that's rock for you) or is anything particularly groundbreaking.

I just liked the sound of it.

In any case, I would have thought the extra-heretical opinion would be that Minmay is in any way a good singer. :p

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
I just finished the first season of Valvrave the Liberator. It's really hard to recommend. It's high-school kids piloting giant space-mecha, like that hasn't been done a million times before.

But the gimmick is that becoming a pilot bestows a sort of ill-defined curse, including such symptoms as: unkillability, immortality (yes those are different things, shut up), being able to possess another's body with only a bite to exposed skin, and for the protagonist at least, a periodic, uncontrollable rage initiated by the OS of his mecha, leading him to do various things ranging from body-swapping to rape.

The first episode was kind of cute in a sad way, seeing how badly it wanted to be Gundam. It paralleled the first episode of MSG nearly theme-for-theme. I think it's worth watching the first episode at least for that.

It's like EoE, but without the subtlety.
