MTG Salvation

Welp, sigs seem to be pretty borked at the moment due to the upgrade to vBulletin 3.8. I'll be keeping an eye on the Technical Issues thread. Until then, I suggest putting normal links underneath the sig. I am also investigating the issue of some sigs appearing shrunken.

Of all time? You're most likely just gonna get the same answers over and over again. Something like (in no particular order):

1. Bebop
2. Eva
3. Champloo
4. FMA
5. Haruhi
6. Lupin
7. DBZ
8. Trigun
9. Hellsing
10. Death Note
11. Insert popular thing that's been on CN several times over here

Instead I'll give you my personal take on top 10 underrated / hidden gem TV series:

1. Mushishi
2. Tatami Galaxy
3. Trapeze
4. Moyashimon
5. Utawarerumono
6. Sora no Woto
7. Kaiba
8. Arakawa Under the Bridge
9. The Daughter of 20 Faces
10. Michiko & Hatchin

Well, if we're talking about what we're watching at the moment, I might as well drop my MAL page, since I haven't yet in this thread. Lately I've been watching old shorts and compilations like NeoTokyo, Robot Carnival, and Genius Party. It's kinda fun to see, for example, some non-Akira Katsuhiro Otomo.

Most recently, I've finished Panty & Stocking, Dog Days, and Catman. I found Catman to be the most interesting of the three; P&SwG was entertaining for what it was, but not highbrow to say the very least.

ok, heres one. should i rent a car, or should i just walk everywhere? i dont plan on really leaving the city, so i figured walking would be good, but i dont know if driving would be "better".

also...do people shake hands? lol, i know this is kind of stupid, but i dont want to go and shake someones hand and they smack me in the face because i was being disrespectful lol.

also...i dont care for shrimp...so no i havent lol

The ebi-fillet'o isn't bad, actually, for what it is. There are some other differences, like specialty burgers and shaka-shaka chicken (which comes with a spice rub and a bag which you are supposed to shake to coat the chicken).

You won't need to rent a car. I went anywhere I wanted, including moving to a completely different city, without a car, and I didn't miss one in my two years there. Japan has among the best public transportation systems in the world. You can get a bus, train, or subway from anywhere to anywhere in the country just about.

does McDonalds cost/taste the same? lol

Have you ever had a shrimp burger before?

Be prepared for a bit of culture shock, although it'll certainly be less since you're there for a short time. I lived in the country (though not in Tokyo) for two years, so if you've got any pressing questions, ask away.

Quote from Basaka

Reading #GPMIN coverage,
I thought about Hyouka but I'm already watching too many shows.

I'm watching 10 shows. I plan on watching Space Bros after it's done, too, though I'm not watching it as it airs.

* Hyouka
* Lupin
* Mysterious Girlfriend X
* Sakamichi no Apollon
* Sankarea
* Acchi Kocchi
* Polar Bear Cafe
* Tasogare Otome X Amnesia
* Tsuritama
* Zetman

Quote from Singer of White Line

I have still yet to finish it, but I liked what I saw so far. I just got past the episode where Scanty and Kneesocks are introduced

It only gets better. The Transformers episode is what got me (though I'll admit it helps a lot if you're familiar with G1 and the movie).

Uhh, nobody's been on in a week? Is it finals or something?

Anyway, is there any love for Panty and Stocking in the clan? I recently marathoned it. I didn't enjoy it at all at first, but for some reason I kept watching. It was strangely addictive. By the time I got to the transformers episode, I was sold (said episode, btw was one of the best comedy episodes I've seen of anything).

Wow. I apologize for my long unannounced absence, guys. It is what it is. Regardless, I'm back with completed requests, and hopefully more in the future.

Nyarko: If for some reason you havent picked this series up yet you better quit checking this clan, and anime in general.

You heard the man folks... I guess this clan, and anime, are just not for me. I guess I'll... I'll just pack my things and go then... *sniffle* T_T


Meanwhile, I've been on a binge of catching up with all kinds of exotic, lost and forgotten old series and shorts. Robot Carnival, Ani*kuri, Neo Tokyo, Winter Days, Doomed Megalopolis, Eternal Family, Hotori, G-9, Catman, Yobi, 1001 Nights, Sky Blue, Genius Party Beyond, Amazing Nuts!, Cat Soup, Tsukimi no Ie, ... all of that. It's... delicious. Like some kind of drug.

Quote from Sepiriel

Zettman is still good... it seems im the only one watching it

You are not alone. I'm a fan of shows like Zetman. In the past I've enjoyed Soultaker, Sadamitsu the Destroyer, Casshern and Devilman, and I've been meaning to see Guyver for a while now. I'm enjoying Zetman pretty well so far.

So, episode 2 of Apollon is out (same with Tsuritama). Lupin ep 3 and PBC (best show of the season) ep 3 are out. Where is everybody? Is it finals week and I didn't know about it or something? Eaten by Nyarlathotep? Died from Acchi Kocchi (aka HNNNNGGGG: The Animation)?

GENTLEMEN.



TODAY IS A GLORIOUS DAY. ARE YOU PREPARED?

Quote from Sepiriel

If it meant that Heroes would sell out and become Capitalism's new Holy Cash Cow then yes im pretty sure it means what i think it means.

I was thinking of something more like this.

Quote from Sepiriel

it accurately portrays how superheroes would actually end up working in the real world.

Those words... I don't think they mean what you think they mean.

I''ve watched most of the shows so far this spring (except Upotte! - lolwut). Acchi Kocchi is simply 24 minutes of nonstop HNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG. Gakkatsu was simply odd; not even really worth watching. The best so far remains Lupin, with Polar Bear Cafe in second place. Seriously guys, if you are not watching Shirokuma Cafe, get on top of it; it's amazing. For all you Code Geass fans, Polar Bear and Panda are voiced by Suzaku and Lelouch, respectively. I've got Sankarea, Natsuiro Kiseki, Medaka, and Accel World sitting around, but from what I've heard I don't think any of those will change my opinion. We'll see what happens by the time the rest of the season is out, including Girlfriend X and Hyouka. Aside from Lupin, I'm really just biding my time waiting for Apollon. * drool *

Quote from Sepiriel

Waiting for the new Lupin to begin.

Just saw it. OH MY GOD. Blew my mind out of the friggin' water. Best looking series I've seen in years. I can't get over the artwork. 13/10 stars, would watch again.
