After watching this guy, he sealed my interest in anime and anime based games such as Enchanted Arms or Tales of Vesperia.

Some nasty spoilers there though. (taking into account that I'm hypersensitive towards spoilers)

Okay. He does try and avoid spoilers, but he does indeed have a tendency to give background information that may accidentally lead to spoilers. Sorry about that.

Dragonball? Highly overrated.

Saint Seiya? Ehhhh..... It's... great and crap at the same time.

Unlike OP or DB it's not a funny type of shonen. You got gods (Athena, Hades, Neptune, etc..) duking it out over earth and the series follows several of the holy warriors of Athena (called saints), given magical armor and wielding the power of stars (constelations). It has some resemblance to Fist of the Northstar, but with a more homer-esque flair.
Great mythology, interesting characters and design, great potential.
Sadly, writing can be cringeworthy at times as can the art (The first series and the last are best in that regard), and the main character of both series are totaly Scrappy/Mary Sue's.
I'm almost ashamed to admit I like it.

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers / Ronin Warriors was pretty good, while we're talking about armored shounen shows. Dub was a bit painful.

My favorite Saint Seiya characters. Alas, it is my guilty pleasure.

Any Dragon Ball Z/Hip-Hop fans might like this.

As a big Dragon Ball and Hip-hop fan I can say they do not mix well.

And the fact that I dislike the FUNi ost does not help.

But this is still funny as hell.

 



And oh yeah it is kind of sad that Saint Seiya and Ronin Warriors are underrated since both are great series(Saint Seiya more so) but it is hard to find them nowadays.

Also Saint Seiya still does have it's "hardcore fans" in Japan so it's not mega underrated.

See I played it safe though. I said "might like this". That soulja boy thing is funny, soulja boy is a disgrace though..

DeAndre Cortez Way is and will forever be one of the worst rappers ever.

And you did play it safe... for now.

Anyway to get back on-topic, Cardcaptor Sakura's first theme song is the cutest thing ever.

We have an on-topic??

Cardcaptor Sakura is super cute. Though I guess I won't be relating with the anime as much as with, for example, Haruhi (say what you like - The Melancholy of H.S. has a brilliant feeling to it), I'll be checking it out soon enough.

I like Cardcaptor Sakura more as a manga(no duh right?) but the anime is still great.

Hey, SomeGeth!

I'm a bit interested as to how the whole poaching and over-the-top gluttony thing fares with Toriko... These two aspects are what put me off the most when reading/watching the first chapter. Will the title amend some of that later on? Like giving the hunting-lifestyle or the eating-habits a purpose... Or having a differentation between poaching and hunting for food as Toriko does it?

It's just that I'm between hating the series with wrath, and giving it another go (out of curiosity)...

Well the world of Toriko as you know is all about food and people's love for food.

From the "government" to the bad guys they all have something to do with food, so yeah the hunting does have purpose, as silly as that is.
As for the hunting-lifestyle, I kind of like that there are so many kinds of Gourmet Hunters, like Toriko with the fact he will never kill something he will not eat.

But the best thing about this series is the adventure, cool characters and the food(like how it looks and the explanation of it's taste).

So I say give it 30 chapters to see if it's your thing, but it realy gets good in the Ice Hell arc and that starts in chapter 69.

It's not the best thing ever but it is great at what it does.

But really if you are looking for a long Shonen Jump series you should go for Hunter x Hunter or One Piece.

Do I understand correctly that nowadays anime gets made only from a super-popular manga, and will not be considered otherwise? Are there major exceptions?

It's just that I feel there hasn't been anything good out in a couple of years - and the peak for high-quality anime seems to be the 90's and early 00's. There just isn't anything as good nor original coming out now as were all of the series back then, not to mention titles such as NGE, Escaflowne, FLCL and other big ones.

Zero no Tsukaima - 8/10

A good score, but I gotta disagree with this. I've been watching this and before even finishing the first season this became my favorite anime. Blew right past Gurren Lagaan. Prolly just cause I like the kind of show that it is, with it's romance plot and such. Not to mention the relationship between Louise and Saito is the best thing ever.

Not really nowadays more like always, the first anime show ever came from a manga you know.

And it is sort of true that a manga should be "popular" to become an anime in today's world, it still does not always have to be "mega super-popular" to become one. Look at Beelzebub for what I mean the manga is sometimes popular one week and then on death row the other and that is not even getting into the fact that it's anime is crap.

And funny that you said Eva since it did have a manga before the show came out but it really is nothing like the show and it was only made to promote the show.

But even so Eva the manga is still a good read for any fan/nonfan of the series.

Hmm. Interesting. Might give the Eva manga a try - though I'm a bit scaptical towards it, as it clearly isn't what the makers had intended.

Beelzebub the anime is pretty horrible (and quite popular, as far as I understand).

I'm just frustrated that there hasn't been any quality, overall, lately. That might be because of changed values and such (tieing up with the principles of the economy), but really - ten years ago there was no such tendency as to put forth loud and mindless action-fighting-flicks constantly, while ignoring any in-depth topic or simply well-made, filler-free shows done with the love of the writer (be it "cult" anime or whatever).

That reminds me - I just can't finish the Freeza arc - I feel personally insulted by it even. It's all about the pointless recaps and a forever-on-going battle, which is overly simplistic (as opposed to the original dragon ball). There are cool parts here and there, but only when Chi-chi or some other earthling will get some "other filler" time. Actually, at the moment, I'd bring a parallel with DA:O and 2. I felt much the same here as with DB-vs-DBZ.

For Chrissake. FIVE MINUTES in-anime time gets covered by at least ten episodes.

Yeah, it does seem like lately there hasn't been that much truly good anime....

and spaking of DBZ..Isn't it funny to have people with planet-busting attacks fight on the surface of the planet for hours adn the planet actually surviving?

That was my original main-frown-inducer - when I tried some episodes in the middle. That was some 4 or so years ago.
Though this time round I can give it some ad hoc explanations... For example, they will create some barrier or something around their hands when propelling the giant balls of whatever into space. And also, both seemed to be inclined to finish a fight otherwise - just that giving out full power without looking into your opponent would be a mistake (and maybe boring or unmoral or something). :happy:
