Samurai Deeper Kyo is trash, I was listening to people saying it was good as kenshin

super trash :laff: I watched it the year it came out. Had me like :what:

But that's the thing - anime opinions are some of the worst ever. You'll get someone who really thinks Samurai Deeper Kyo > Samurai Champloo or Soul Eater > Full Metal Alchemist, when the quality levels between the two couldn't be greater.

Man, this show is so bizarre and the first eps is already intense.

What I watched in the last couple weeks...

Akame ga Kill
- Almost perfect. Other than the first and last episodes I loved every minute of this. Easily the best art design and quality I've seen, great characters, good story, and a phenomenal soundtrack. This is an instant classic anime. I cried at every other death, the characters and their relationships and growth over such a short period of time was done perfectly. I love the idea behind the show that every assassin's past eventually catches up to them. Mine vs Budou and especially Mine vs Seryu are both among the GOAT fights. Possible GOAT shounen and its only 24 episodes. I would love a second season of this but it would be almost impossible since they killed so many of the best characters. One of my favorite shows of all time, absolutely recommend even though everyone's probably seen it.

Steins;Gate
- This has to be the most overrated anime I've ever seen. The "great story" everyone raves about is really just a generic time travel story, the characters are mostly forgettable besides Suzuha and it takes a good few episodes before it even becomes somewhat interesting. If Cherami Leigh wasn't voicing a character I would of dropped this after the third or fourth episode. Once you get to the middle of the show the rest of the show for the most part is the main character going back in time to relive things we've already seen to try to save his friend from dying. It gets old fast. There's also a racist scene where the main character tries to speak ebonics when meeting the one black character who is a very minor character. I'm sure most people here have seen this already but if you haven't don't waste your time.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Even as a big slice of life fan this show was just solid to me. Maybe its because I watched The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan first and as a result prefer those versions of these characters or it could be because I watched it in chronological order as opposed to the order it aired but I didn't think there was anything special about either season of this show or the movie. Haruhi is a good character but Kyon is one of the worst characters in anime.

He bytches constantly and never appreciates anything. He acts like he hates Haruhi even though she's supposed to be his friend and he almost hits her just because she's directing a movie scene where the girl he likes is supposed to kiss someone other than him. He's the definition of an "unlike-able" character and him being the main character was a bad decision.

The Disappearance of Haruhi is a two hour and fourty minute movie where the best/title character only appears for maybe twenty minutes. It was a chore to watch and it led to nothing. Speaking of a chore to watch the Endless Eight Arc is the exact same episode with very minor changes EIGHT EPISODES IN A ROW and the payoff is of course, nothing.

At its best the show can be very enjoyable its just unfortunate its only at its best for about half of the episodes. If you like SoL or School shows (you've probably already seen it but) I'd recommend watching the first two seasons (skip the Endless Eight for your own sanity) and The Disappearance of Nagato as well but not The Disappearance of Haruhi unless you really loved the show.

Coppelion - Not much to say here, possibly the most boring anime I've watched. "Post-apocalyptic" rarely ends up being good and this is no exception. Three girls with zero personality who cry over everything, a very boring color scheme and art design and barely anything happens. I definitely wouldn't recommend this.

Castle Town Dandelion (up to episode 2) - Excellent show so far. Mostly a comedy and slice of life. Its about the 9 children of the king each trying to be elected as the next king. Each of them have their own superpower. Funniest show I've seen in awhile. Mostly interesting characters so far and there's already a bit of romance. Recommended for sure.

Another - Very overrated show that kills off characters just for shock value. Two horrible main characters, one of them knew how to save everyone from the start but didn't because she didn't know how to tell everyone. Awful. fukk this shyt, the only good episode was the beach episode. Everything else sucked.

When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace - I love this show. Other than Toradora and Chuunibyou this is probably the best slice of life & romance I've seen. I very much enjoyed the characters and their chunni-ness, especially Tomoyo. Other than the title being misleading (supernatural battles are not at all common on this show), everything was great. Very good voice acting from everyone in the dub, especially Shanae'a Moore, who voiced Tomoyo. One of my favorite shows ever. Definitely watch if you like romance.

Fairy Tail 2014 (Tartaros Arc up to episode 73) - Still my GOAT show although it isn't as amazing as it was the first season.
The last episode where Lucy had to
destroy Aquarius' gate key :mjcry:
Although I have to admit seeing the Celestial Spirit King in battle for the first time should be :blessed:

I'm really excited and anxious to see what happens next. I'm really hoping they'll finally let my girl Lucy get a big win she's the main character and she's still never won a final battle yet. She don't need Natsu fukk that lame :pacspit:
Don't get me wrong I ship them too like everyone else I just wanna see my girl kick some ass:whoa:

Thankfully when the next episodes drop the dub will FINALLY be caught up to the sub for the first time ever. Recommend always.

You pretty much have a contradict yourself. You call Another a "shock value" anime, while calling out Akame Ga Kill as "perfect". :dahell: Akame is the epitome of shock value deaths. Some deaths are over-the-top, its so stupid. I'm not a huge stan of Another, mind you.

If Steins;Gate is overrated then what Akame is? Definitely not perfect or GOAT shonen. Just a glorified gore porn with a sprinkle of ecchi stuff. Steins;Gate started slow, but it has interesting twist. Akame Ga Kill's Mary Sue characters (I'm looking at you, Esdeath and your henchmen :demonic:) have turned me off. The empire's higher ups are so cartoonishly evil, it's so cringe worthy . No way this overrated guro porn is any better than Steins;Gate.

About Haruhi, I pretty much agree with you, except the protagonist. First of all, while Haruhi is an interesting character, she is pretty much a selfish bytch. She literally dragged and harassed some of her club members. Kyon just happened to be a low-energy guy and Haruhi is an eccentric, hyperactive mysterious girl. They are counter-thesis to each other. If you are a person that doesn't want to take shyt from anyone, I bet you would complain too, especially if you are the one who fix Haruhi's bullshyts. She unconsiously dictates whats happening on them as she's literally a goddess.

Just my two cents. Try to make a counter-argument if you like. :sas2:

on one end they'd be dead if not for this job, but on the other they spend their lives murdering people and are detached from reality.....are they better off dead or barely alive? what happens when they begin to think for themselves and have to deal with the burden of having killed so many people

good stuff. sad & dark, but good.

It's not a contradiction cause Akame ga Kill actually gives you a reason to care about the characters before killing them off and they die during or as a result of a battle. They said it from the start, every assassin's past eventually catches up to them, and thats what happens. One of the problems with most Shounens is they won't kill anybody. You could not have made Akame ga Kill without the deaths, that would not have made any sense. It's about two teams of assassins going to war of course people are gonna be killed. Another just kills people you never seen before in fukked up ways for no reason. I didn't feel anything when anyone in Another died but
I was :mjcry: when Kurome, Mine, and Bulat's past caught up with them

How is Esdeath a "Mary Sue character"? She wasn't depicted as being perfect by any means.
She loses in the end, what's "Mary Sue" about that?

Steins;Gate is garbage breh they threw in the most forced romance at the end between two characters who never showed any interest in each other before all of a sudden saying "I love you" just to add more drama to the character being killed only to be saved by time travel. That's whats cringe worthy. A lot of series do it but if you kill a character they need to stay dead dude in Steins;Gate fails to save his friend 50 times but she still lives in the end cause of time travel. Other problems with Steins;Gate like how the fukk are four people who post on the same message board living or working within one building?
And when their looking for Suzuha's dad of course it happens to be someone we already know, same thing with that FB or whatever her name was being Mr. Braun, how convenient that everyone important is in one building.
It's lazy story telling.

What is the interesting twist in Steins;Gate? I don't remember any twist and I just watched it:patrice:

Why does Kyon do everything Haruhi tells him to do if he hates it so much? He's her bytch, he's not fukking and she's not his mother. A man would tell her to :camby:I can't blame Haruhi for taking advantage of him cause I would do the same thing. How are you gonna be a man, but let your female friend order you around? And its her club, Kyon can leave it at any time he wants if he doesn't like it, so can everyone else. He even admits that he loves being part of the SOS Brigade toward the end of the movie, but he still complains about it constantly.

Does anyone know if they ever made a reality show like anime? Castle Town Dandelion has cameras following the kings children around so it has some reality elements but its not a straight up reality show. Something like Big Brother but a anime would be dope.
