So i finished angel beats. Went from episode 4 to 13 in one night. I really REALLY enjoyed it, and it's now one of my favorite animes. Well actually all the animes that i watched on your list are now favorites (Except magika madoka ect.. I never really gave that one a chance, maybe ill watch it now, since so far you have yet to fail me with your anime choices.).
I liked how i could not predict where this show was going
Spoiler:
Well i guessed that they would befriend Kanade, but beyond that, there was no real enemy or goal for any of the characters (Except the shadows that they fight towards the end). Even when i was at episode 12, was i like..... wait a minute there's only one episode left, THERE'S SO MUCH THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED!!! At some point though, i guessed that the ending would be that they all get obliterated. (While im talking about that, i thought it was better in the dub that they use the word vanish instead of obliterated. When i think of obliteration, i imagine some dude exploding with blood and entrails everywhere)
The humor in the show was also very good in my opinion. I laughed out loud a couple of times.
The music in the show was also very good, i thought it had a Final Fantasyish sound to it. But the best music was the intros and the credits music. Even the rock band that plays in the show was not that bad.
I was really happy that they didn't show the past traumas of every person in the show. At some point i was expecting it to become one of those shows that has the same episode over and over again.
One thing i did like all that much was the part with the random dude in the secret computer lab pulling all the strings, maybe because i was getting tiered and missed a few words in the sub, but it all seemed really out of place i guess.
Another thing is, who was the dude that is clearly not the same age as everyone else that works in the guild. During they show they act as if the viewer is suppose to know that guy, or maybe i just read it wrong.
Basically overall A REALLY GOOD ANIME
What was the thing you mentioned in your critic that you said you didn't like about the ending?

There are a ton of video game references in the show The way the locations pop up and the camera angles when they switched locations are very much like PS1 era JRPGs TK says a couple video game quotes NPCs Calling their group a guild

The very last scene were a girl that looks like Kanade is singing that song and a guy that looks like Otonashi passes by her, it was supposed to show that they got to be together in another life but i disliked it, it tries to shove a happy ending in there at the last second, wouldve been better to not have that
Theres an alternate epilogue that i like more from the DVDs, it would be right after Kanade disappears, and in place of that very last scene:

Yep, i coulda guessed that part. It was extremely inconsistent and i ignored it because it was obviously a feel good thing added just to soften the blow of sadness. I liked the epilogue that you showed, but i feel that Otonashi got obliterated/vanished because in the ending credits everyone disapears in the order they did and he eventually does too at the end. Also if you watch the video i posted higher up of the guy in the computer lab, he mentions the original god or something waited for the person he loved in that reality. I think it's a reference to your epilogue

Did you finish 3, cause i think 3 is the episode i was referring to, it might be 4
You're disappointed in us for liking Code Geass, but we are all disappointed in you for not liking it Give it another chance
Right i remember now, he wasnt pulling the strings though, the one pulling the strings was the guy he was talking about there, the programmer, and he wasnt really pulling the strings he just set the stage The guy in the computer room just sent shadows to attack the guild
Oh yeah, i dont think the viewer was supposed to know who he is, Yuri knew who he was because it seemed like they had a history He was the same age as the rest of them but just looked older, i didnt think too much of it because anime does that kind of thing a lot, having a character be an age that doesnt reflect their physical appearance, its usually done with girls though to have a 20 year old girl that looks like shes 14, or something similar

Spoiler:
I took being obliterated or vanishing as an allegory for moving on and either entering the real afterlife (the highschool was a type of limbo) or being reincarnated into the next life Otonashi does move on in the end, its just that it took him longer to do then the others, meaning in the alternate epilogue he couldve stayed there and eventually moved on after awhile

Since time there doesnt work like normal its possible that Otonashi is the programmer he is talking about, the problem with that is that the programer became an NPC and Otonashi moves on, so they can't be the same person unless something allowed him to move on which we have no info about and is just speculation, they couldve made a season 2 with that alternate epilogue but we will never know

I think if he moved on it would have been right after kanade left, because you need some kind of fulfillment to move on and i think he could have only gotten it at that moment.

i'm glad though that they didn't make a season 2. Sequels to really good stuff always just makes you want to watch the original instead of the sequel.
On another note, i do really understand why you had hesitations between putting this on top of Death Note. I myself can't decide which i like better. I guess it's like apples and oranges.
On a final note I started watching the melancholy of hurihi suzumiya. I was planning on finishing puella, but before that i wanted to take a look at your list and see how many animes i had left to watch. When i saw this anime i just wanted to see a trailer or maybe an AMV, but all i could find was the first episode. Unfortunately i was instantly hooked.
My impressions so far, well by the fact that i was instantly hooked, you can guess that I really like it. I really enjoy the main character and his personality. I also like that he isn't like TV stupid (I don't know what to really call that, but what i mean is. When the viewer and the character get a hint about something, usually the character doesn't understand it right away even if the viewer does. So the character does purposely the wrong thing so he can understand the right thing later. Well i hope you understand....). So far i have only 3 complaints. The first isn't the shows fault, but the order of the episodes are all screwed up. I know this happens when the dub and original have two different line ups, so when you find a list of episodes sometimes their put in the wrong order and it's annoying. I did take a look at your way of watching it, but in the dub version i had, it didn't work. The first movie you wanted me to watch was episode 7 of the list i had and watching that movie at that time spoils many following episodes. That' just an example of a problem with your list and the list of dubs i have. The second is probably a problem that will go away soon, but the show teases so much about a love between the main char and haruhi and nothing ever really happens. The third is just a series of episodes or maybe it's a movie on your list. The Deja View episodes, i think it was like 4 episodes in a row that are pretty much the same episode over and over and the conclusion of it was so anti-climactic i was SOOOO DISAPOINTEDDD!!!!!
Well besides that the show is really awesome and i will prob be finishing it soon!

Maybe, but his fulfillment could also be helping others, if it was just right after Kanade then why did he take longer in the credits, it felt like that was hinting at him staying longer then the others Also the alternate epilogue takes place after everything that happened so in order for that to be there he would have to stay longer

Actually that isnt really the dubs fault, as long as the dub has the right episode name it should be fine The show has 2 different orders that you can watch it in (3 with the DVD which i didnt even mention), its really confusing Here is a list of episodes with the 3 different orders: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya_episodes Just avoid reading the plot summary of each episode The order i told you was the Kyon order (more or less), which is B on that list Season 2 includes episodes from season 1, but season 2 actually starts from Endless Eight

That is Endless Eight, i mentioned to skip half of those in my post, theres 8 of those episodes And if you thought you were disappointed, thats the start of new episodes in season 2 so i was looking forward to seeing season 2 after 3 years of waiting for a season 2 and they show us 8 of basically the same episodes, no one that watched it was happy about it I had thought i downloaded the wrong episode on the 2nd episode of those 8 since it was the same as the first episode, i deleted it and downloaded it again, saw it was the same again, figured the place i got my anime from posted the wrong ep, went to a different place, downloaded it again, saw it was the same again, and had to look it up because i didnt understand why it was the same episode as the week before it I ended up watching all 8 of them just because it lasted 8 weeks since i had to wait for the episodes to air each week

Perhaps, but i guess we can never really know, because he had lived a fulfilling life according to him. So in the show his case is obviously unique.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, don't worry i skipped straight to the ends of the episodes after the second time i watched it. I can't believe they would do that, you must have really been pissed. In my opinion, when doing that kind of story with a time loop, it shouldn't be repeated more than twice or three times max.

lol, well then... I assumed there were a few movies shoved into my episode list because, there were always a small series of 3-4 episodes (and in one case 8 episodes ) that seemed to be so locked together compared to the rest of the story, so i assumed that they were a movie. I mean sometimes those episodes ended in the middle of a conversation and the following episode took off right were it left off without an explanation or anything. If i were in charge of making this show, i would make sure that would never happen, because if people where to randomly catch this running on TV they would get super confused and be turned away from it instantly. And the final reason i thought it was movies is because they didn't really advance the plot in any significant way, so i thought it was movies added after the series was finished in order to please the fans.

Ya that was a good movie, but they couldn't do that because Bill Murry's character (I obviously forgot his name) was aware of the loop, but kyon only became aware of it at the last day of the loop. (If i take a step back, i'm realizing that i am seriously discussing time loops)

Damn, were you also turned away from them because of the horrible animation? I was surprised that it had the same voice actors though.
Here i am at last. I FINISHED THE ANIME. Jesus pat, your killing all my free time with your awesome animes
So here's my review When i started watching this, i was instantly hooked. The plot got more and more interesting and as the characters revealed themselves one by one i was getting really excited. All the possibilities, BATTLING ALIENS, MONSTERS OR SAVING THE FUTURE!?!?! This could only get more awesome. Well it didn't.... I mean it wasn't bad, but it became pretty much a sitcom and the characters and plot just stopped moving forward at some point. There were only a few episodes that were very captivating and the rest was alright, but nothing special. I even found myself bored a few times. It was at this point i starting thinking to myself;'' You put this ABOVE Mirai Nikkii!?''. And then i watched THE MOVIE!!!!!!! The entire show almost felt like a build up for this movie. It was so AWESOME, it had character development, plot evolution and it was all amazing. It made you look at the characters at a way you haven't before. Even if the movie was almost 3 hours, i was never bored for a second, i wanted it to last even longer. I especially like how they didn't try to make all 3 supporting characters evenly important (What i mean is when they try and make all the supporting characters have a major and even importance in the plot so all the fans will be happy), Instead they focused on the most powerful of the 3. I had goosebumps many times and i really felt sad when Kyon handed back the litterary club application form. (If you don't remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJnyZYn9u-8 ). And my favorite scene of the entire movie is when kyon starts arguing with himself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuCWMjFygPo .
Overall i still don't know if i would put this above Mirai Nikki, mainly because the movie carried the series a lot, but damn it was good.

If they told those 8 episodes from Yuki's perspective it couldve been better since she was aware of the loop, even though she didnt really do anything

No i didnt watch them because when i heard of them they were very short and at the time only 2 were out and they were taking a long time to come out so i ended up forgetting about them I started watching them when i made my last post and finished watching them today and they arent bad, they arent that good either, they occasionally have good/funny moments, but the story in it (what little there is) is non-cannon and effects nothing Sometimes (rarely) it goes into better (normal) animation, its weird, its like reversed from the way any other anime does their animation
I would recommend skipping them unless you are a die-hard fan of the series

Theres only 6 episodes in season 1 (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 1-6) and 5 episodes in season 2 (The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 1-5) that have a consistent plot The rest of the episodes are stuff that happens before, during, or after those episodes and are there for fun They couldve done more with it i guess, but its not your typical action anime, its more of a comedy then anything really Seren once asked me what genre this was and i had trouble telling him because its all over the place

It was at this point i starting thinking to myself;'' You put this ABOVE Mirai Nikkii!?''. And then i watched THE MOVIE!!!!!!! The entire show almost felt like a build up for this movie. It was so AWESOME, it had character development, plot evolution and it was all amazing. It made you look at the characters at a way you haven't before. Even if the movie was almost 3 hours, i was never bored for a second, i wanted it to last even longer. I especially like how they didn't try to make all 3 supporting characters evenly important (What i mean is when they try and make all the supporting characters have a major and even importance in the plot so all the fans will be happy), Instead they focused on the most powerful of the 3. I had goosebumps many times and i really felt sad when Kyon handed back the litterary club application form. (If you don't remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJnyZYn9u-8 ). And my favorite scene of the entire movie is when kyon starts arguing with himself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuCWMjFygPo .
Yeah the movie was great, if i made a top 10 anime movie list it would be on there pretty high up But that wasnt the main reason that i put it on the list though, the main reason was Kyon
If you want to keep going and read the manga the movie ends some time before volume 12, so start there I skipped to volume 14 for certain reasons so i havent read volume 12 yet, i was holding out for the next movie to show what future Kyon did, i will probably end up reading it soon though since its been 3 years without a new movie
I used to know a place that had them in english but i dont know where that is anymore, so finding it may be a pain

I didnt know there was an event like that, i started watching it for another reason, one that ill tell you after you finish watching it And when she was attacked i thought "she's fine, this isnt the type of show that would kill off characters" but when she really was dead i was like "what?!"

Oooo more interesting stuff to come?!
Ya man, and she doesn't die like normal characters die, with some last words and sad moments, she gets FUCKING DECAPITATED by some SMILING GIANT HEAD. that shit is what makes it so surprising I saw a youtube comment i thought was pretty funny ''It's all fun and games until Mami gets decapitated''

I looked it up after you mentioned it while we were playing the other day I dont normally watch romantic comedies they arent really my thing I have seen a few romantic comedy anime though. School Rumble, Karin, Love Hina, Ranma 1/2. Ouran High School Host Club, Chobits and Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu are some i can remember I didnt realize it was that many until i started trying to remember anime ive seen over the years, and i know theres more than that because there are some i cant remember the name of But all of those either focus on the comedy or have some special element to it (like suprenatural powers or reversal of the normal roles), except for Love Hina which i didnt really like
I watched the first 2 episodes of Toradora today and i dont think ill continue watching it Mainly because of Aisaka, i find her very annoying, probably because i really dislike tsundere And there was only 1 joke in those 2 episodes that had me laughing and i cant even remember what the joke was now

HOLY CRAP, i just finished this show and it was EPIC AWESOME BAGS OF CHEETOS. The mood of the anime was so dark, that feeling was only amplified by all the smiling. SO CREEPY. I think you said it best in your review pat
Quote :
this show is far better than it should be for what it is
Spoiler:
How witches are born is was crazy!!!!
The end was kinda confusion and i didn't like parts of it.
Spoiler:
Maybe i misunderstood, but why the Madoka have to live in exile and everyone has to forget her. And why is everyone Resurrection. And why does she have some random conversation with most of the dead characters while drinking tea.
The music was amazingly good and really helped set the mood.

It has 2 different art styles, 1 that i dislike and 1 that i love, the one i dislike is the one you see the most of and i dislike it mainly because of the character designs
I kinda liked the normal art style of the show. I liked how some parts it looked like the color was scribbled in. (Especially in the eyes) I also liked the other art style (Which i assume is the ''collage'' stuff.) It contrasted the other art style so well, especially since the environment of the normal world was so perfect, clean and uniform.
Quote :
Its 12 episodes long with 3 movies coming out, the first one will be out in the fall, the first 2 will recap the events of the show and the 3rd movie will be a new story
Have you seen the movies? Should i watch them? I don't much experience watching movies that are created after the shows all i have seen are the 3 inuyasha movies (Which were ok), a few naruto movies (Which sucked) and the haruhi movie (Which was AWESOME).

I thought that the fact that namura had to time travel over and over again and watch madoka die in all those different time lines was very similar to steins gate
Overall pat you got me to love a very disturbing show, I think i actually liked it more than Mirai Nikki. It's funny though that i stopped watching the show at episode 2 and the super crazy event is at episode 3. I don't know what i'm ganna end up watching next on your list, i think ill watch code geass last, Eden East was something that ive been wanting to chekc out for a while. Btw Slayer thought code geass was just OK 3 episodes before the end and when he finished them he said it was amazing and almost as good as death note if i understood well what he was saying to me (It's really hard to understand him most of the time o.0). That made me curious
On a final note, you must tell me what is the super embarrassing anime that seren likes, he has giving you the task of telling me.

Spoiler:
She transcends time and space (essentially becoming like a god) and changes things in the past to basically create a new world in which she absorbs the despair of girls before they can become a witch Because the girls need to recharge their gems by absorbing witches which they cant do that in this new world (since witches dont exist) the demons exist for them to recharge their gem (i dont think madoka created them, they were just a consequence of the wish since Kyubey still has the power to turn people into puella magi and they still need to recharge their gems, so the system still needs to exist in some form) No one is resurrected, they never died to begin with in this new world, and they dont forget her either, they never knew her in this world (except Homura because of her time powers and wish of protecting Madoka, although in the new world she has different powers (i think) so im not entirely sure how her wish from the other world transferred to the new world) I only remember 1 conversation she had with Sayaka, and that was because she died in the new world because her gem ran out of power during a fight after Madoka took the despair from it (Sayaka's wish was the same in this world and the guy she loved and wished to cure hooked up with another girl which caused her to build despair really fast) If there were other conversations then those characters probably died in the new world as well

As far as i know they havent been subbed yet, so i havent watched them The 3rd one isnt out yet i think (which is the one you should watch since its new content, the other 2 movies are just a retelling of the show, they might contain new scenes though) Anime movies in Japan get a theatrical release across the country, like the way we have movies in theaters here So you have to wait for the dvd release before a fansub group will sub it If the anime is super popular you might see a CAM version of it, but even then its rare to see a CAM version, and CAM versions almost always suck because the speakers in the theater record terribly bad in the cameras mic (i once saw a TS of the very first fullmetal alchemist movie, its the only TS of an anime movie ive ever seen, so a TS, the good version of CAMs, is out of the question for anime movies)

Lol I wanted to say this earlier but thought it might spoil something for you, they didnt wish for mami's resurrection because they only get 1 wish If you had 1 wish, a wish you could use on anything, would you use it to resurrect someone you recently met Dont get me wrong, if someone i recently met and considered a friend died i would be sad but it would have to be someone really really special to me to get me to use my 1 wish to bring them back My wish would be more like "I wish for the power to grant any of my own wishes at will", and then i would grant my wish of bringing back that person, assuming that first wish works as a loop hole to the "no wishing for more wishes" thing

WHAT!?"

Damn you really understood a lot of it. Still some holes that don't have answers as of yet. Maybe the third movie will enlighten us.

Damn that's kinda annoying. Well it's not so bad, i wasen't planning on seeing them (right away anyways) because i jsut watched the entire series, id just be re watching it. Hope the third movie will be awesome. On a similar note, apparantly the steins gate movie is comming out soon (accoridng to my friend who rates steins gate as the best anime ever) Hopefully we will get a dub for that quickly, it does seem pretty popular.

Like you mentioned, i didn't like the fact that they renamed japan and also how all the villains were pure evil for seemingly no reason. I guess those two reasons together make the bad guys of the series just seem like kids show bad guys ''I WANT TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD''. If i don't like the bad guys in any way shape or form, i cannot enjoy the show.

Your a sick man pat, trying to turn this into a twisted game. I bet when you watch saw you get massive erections. Ok maybe i went too far... I got a few questions before we start 1. Is it 5 question + my answer or is the answer included in the questions 2. If i do not get the right answer will this anime be a mystery forever? 3. Can i harass you until you give up and tell me?

Think of Britannia like as if it was the British Empire from the 1600-1800s, but with modern tech and giant robots If the British Empire went unchecked i think they would have taken over the world and we would have resistances like you see in Code Geass (without giant robots obviously) The British Empire renamed the land they took too and once you use up all the names you have, since you have so much land, you would start referring to them by numbers Like the way highways are numbered, it makes it easier to keep track of And the way they treat the people of the territory they take isnt evil from their perspective, like how Britain taxed America even though America had no say in what got taxed, so they rebelled and Britain sent in their army to control them Its basically the same kind of thing with Britannia
As for the enemy being likable, there's at least 1 character that you might like that is an enemy, telling you more would be spoilers But making Britannia likable as a whole isnt really possible, they are an overwhelming force set to keeping everything under their control

Also, have you heard of the count of monte cristo anime? I found it a few years back (while searching for the book by dumas) I watched a few episodes and they pretty darn good, in fact in epiosde 1 there was a situation that i found very interesting, but i didn't wanna start a crappy anime and be disapointed with it when i was done, so i stopped watching. Also since it used the name of duma's classic book, i expected it to be a mediocre anime trying to rise to fame through someone else's name. But now i hear it was actually good

I actually prefer long AMVs because the replay value is higher since theres more to see. And when i find a good amv i have this weird ritual were i watch it every morning until i get sick of it or i find a new one. Like the Bleach Connected AMV, which is my favorite, i spent so many mornings watching that lol.

It does look interesting, but now that ive looked it up, it seems to be highly rated mostly because of the art in the show. It has a very unique look to it, I don't know if youve seen it. I don't find it all that great, although it does set the mood very nicely
As for the question Here is what i got so far 1. It's an Anime made between 2004-2012 2. I think i it wasent made in 2005 ether because you used the words ''more recent'', which leads me to belive i wasen't close to the right date 3. You know what it is 4. From this quote
Quote :
he knows what it is, share my shame
it seems to be an anime that you also shamefully enjoyed. 5. I have a feeling it's recent because you guys discussed it which is why you know what it is so it should be between 2010 and 2012 6. It cannot be Puella Madoka Magica, because he wouldn't have been afraid to admit if you posted that you liked it first 7. It has to somehow be more embarrassing than what other would think of puella magica or we would have posted it
So i'm going to take a risk with my next question and try to kill 3 birds with one stone
Am i right about everything i said above and is it a romantic, Girly anime or a kids anime?

It cannot be Puella Madoka Magica, because he wouldn't have been afraid to admit if you posted that you liked it first 7. It has to somehow be more embarrassing than what other would think of puella magica or we would have posted it
So i'm going to take a risk with my next question and try to kill 3 birds with one stone
Am i right about everything i said above and is it a romantic, Girly anime or a kids anime?
Yes, you are right about the 7 things you listed The 2nd half of that question "and is it a romantic, Girly anime or a kids anime?" counts as a 2nd question And the answer to that is No, it is none of those, ill be nice though and tell you that it involves romance (its genre is not romance however), that theres a fictional girly anime that some characters in the anime watch, and that fictional anime is considered to be a kids anime by some characters in the anime

) that seemed to be so locked together compared to the rest of the story, so i assumed that they were a movie. I mean sometimes those episodes ended in the middle of a conversation and the following episode took off right were it left off without an explanation or anything. If i were in charge of making this show, i would make sure that would never happen, because if people where to randomly catch this running on TV they would get super confused and be turned away from it instantly. And the final reason i thought it was movies is because they didn't really advance the plot in any significant way, so i thought it was movies added after the series was finished in order to please the fans.
