Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
Finally got around to watching Girls und Panzer, and I'm already enjoying it immensely three episodes in. It also reminded me that I was going to install and try World of Tanks, too. :P
Well try to enjoy the first 4 or 5 tiers of it as much as you can and then realize how frustrating it can get.
Turning off the chat and installing the Official GuP voice mod (Miho and Yukari are out) plus the fan made GuP music mods does help though... at least it helped me to continue -driving those tanks is fun anyway.

*cough* Anyways, I'm glad that you are enoying GuP. It only get's better too. :)
Habeeb it...

Well that depends whether I can get that far in the first place. :P

I'll bear this in mind, but I'll probably want to get a few hours under my belt before I start messing with mods.

...back on topic, though, my order for Puella Magi Madoka Magica has been dispatched. And yes I know a little bit about what happens in that series - that's part of the reason I wanted to watch it in the first place.

 
Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
Gundam Unicorn is now over.

It took them a year and one episode longer than they thought it would, but it's over.

Apparently there were some changes to the ending from the original novel, but from what I've read those changes are mostly for the better (Neo Zeong wasn't in the novel).

What I don't like is that it doesn't really give any information on what happened to Banana and the rest after the fact. I get that the ending message is supposed to be "It's an unknown future, but we have hope!"... except that kind of doesn't work considering that Gundam F91, Crossbone Gundam, and Victory Gundam all take place in UC's future so we DO know the future.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
I interrupt this program to tell you of a non-Anime show I've been enjoying immensely these past few weeks. It's called "Penny Dreadful", and seems to be the best version of League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen yet put to Film.

It stars Eva Green as a witch (in the victorian "I am possessed by the devil" mold), Timothy Dalton as the classic british big game hunter/africa explorer, Josh Hartnett as an american expat making money off of his shooting skills, and several others besides (they even cast David Warner as Van Helsing! Squee!); All trying to find out what happened to Mina Harker.

Oh, and Frankenstein and Dorian Gray are in this, too. Frankenstein's Monster also appears, and is utterly amazing.

Just goes to show, even magical teenagers and giant psychoactive robots can't change the world.  Gotta love Gundam for keeping its feet on the ground.

Anyone checked out this Knights of Sidonia anime?  I am going to give it a few episodes, since it looks relevant to my interests.

If Dekker wants tentacles then Dekker picks up Dragonair Academy -if haven't done so already.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
knights of sidonia is ok, if you can diggest that awfull CG. The story setting is interesting in it's own right and pretty much why I continue to watch it so far, everything else is regular/acceptable.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
I actually don't like mechs. I've watched a few mecha series, and even liked a few of them, especially the "harder" ones like Gasaraki and Gundam(though I still can't take humanoid weapons seriously, even the grappler arms in Outlaw Star just rubbed me the wrong way).
Blasphemy, I know.

Also, has anyone noticed how many anime are named "[MC's name] no [MC's occupation]" this season? Maybe it's a universal thing and I just didn't notice before.

maybe you should take it in the other direction, have you watched Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann?

Who hasn't? It was fun, but I didn't really like the characters, especially Kamina. He's supposed to be so over the top he comes back around to being cool, but that just didn't click with me. I guess I just don't like vehicular combat where willpower and lung capacity(for screaming) matter more than actual piloting skill.

I've never seen it.

Re: What animes/series are you watching right now?
Well it might not be a good idea for you to watch it now, Dekker, seeing as one of the main characters is a very pretty lady who wears hardly anything - and they don't stop showing her off. :P

Well, to be fair, supplementary materials state that the people living underground probably don't know how long an Earth year is, and Littner wasn't always above ground, so Yoko's (and by extension, everyone who isn't Nia) proper age isn't set in stone. :P

Also, what have I been watching? Well, I finished watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica last week. Unfortunately I knew a bit of the plot before hand and I wish I didn't, but still, I think it was very well done (and of course full of sad moments!) and I'm glad I watched it. Next up... well, when I went to get Girls und Panzer on DVD after watching it (another awesome series, by the way), they had a DVD with the full set of OVAs on it. So that's up next for me.
