Anime appreciation thread~! - Progressive Rock Music Forum

BUMPITY

Glad you liked him. I just found his motivations interesting along with the voice acting, remarkable.

I could give a list of recommendations or you can add me on MAL, if you haven't already. http://myanimelist.net/profile/Delouzed

I've finished two shows recently: Zankyou no Terror and Aldnoah Zero.

Zankyou was interesting because the main characters are child terrorists. But the soundtrack was made by the legendary Yoko Kanno, and was directed by Shinichiro. Only 11 episodes - but not bad at all. I wish it had more to "say" but overall, what matters most is that it was a good story. http://myanimelist.net/anime/23283/Zankyou_no_Terror

Aldnoah Zero is a bit different. Falling into a lot of typical mech cliches, it wasn't surprising (except the ending). But mechas are something i don't find myself getting bored of - as long as they're good. The main character may seem to come off as boring or strange, but early on i was exposed to the idea that he has Asperger syndrome. Again short show, but if you want to scratch the mecha itch - this may do it for you. second set of episodes comes out in january.

I'll start by watching the shows you rated 10 that I haven't seen: Kill la Kill and Attack on Titan Wink

I saw the first four episodes of Kill la Kill and the lesson I learned so far is: nudity is power LOL

Let's see what happens next Tongue

I will, I don't give up so easily Wink

^Lol, in for the long haul I see.

Watching Gundam Reconguista in G, loving the old school animation.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

We only share 6 in common but our ratings are actually somewhat correlated

Yeah another big factor is that I watched it some years ago, so when I rated it, I wasn't so excited about it anymore. The amount and variety of characters were pretty good and kept me hooked till the end, but looking back it seemed like a good marker for what I would consider 'average'

I was really in to Attack on Titan (9/10) but when the scout regiment saga started my attention sort of petered off. I think it was a combination of realizing all the characters were pretty bland and having to wait for new episodes to release. Its definitely a more narrative driven show, and addictively devastating. Looking forward to the next season whenever that is!

I've tried Soul Eater, the animation, story and characters didn't really do anything for me so I dropped it after a few episodes.

Currently working through Higurashi no Nako Koro ni Kai, it's pretty cool as they're now stitching all the story lines together.

Also, sent you a friend request on MAL, Bloodnarfer.

I rented 4 DVD:
- Arriety
- Tales from Earthsea
- Perfect Blue
- Chie the Brat.

Which one could I watch with the subtitles on, the sound off and some thrash-metal as the soundtrack?

Yeah, that's a pretty absurd and dumb question, but I have the flu and I hate that.

I have not watched the others, but you shouldn't do that with Perfect Blue or Arrietty.
