I can hardly keep up with the never ending list when I'm binging the shorter animes let alone the longer ones lol
I seriously don't know how hardcore Otaku do it; you have to give them that much for dedication xD

God watches Yaoi anime and faps to Yaoi hentai every Tuesday.
It is known.

So I take it Sakura Trick is good?
It's definitely one of those 'switch your brain off and enjoy the show' kind of things. But even then it's kinda boring.
Btw, is Fairy Tale any good? I've heard it suffers from Bleach syndrome but it's really funny apparently.
It is generic plotwise but it's handled better than in Bleach imo. The comedy is largely what makes it, that and the protagonists not being afraid to cheat to win.

Sure, if you like fluff romance and/or gratuitous yuri kissing.
@Aotearas
Same reason I would watch Fox news or go to the circus.

Yeah! The circus is too respectable an establishment to be grouped in the same category.

What the WBC need is a proper tsundere to stop their BS.

Just finished up the 2nd last episode of Kill La Kill, meaning it will be over in 1 week ![]()
Some fan art to hype up the final episode...




Uzu in the last episode:
Kill La Kill was one of the first things I started watching when I got back into anime, its definitely been a main contributor to my anime addiction and I'm really going to miss it when its gone... I saved Gurren Lagann for when I've finished Kill La Kill, anyone who has watched both that can tell me if it will be just as amazing as Kill La Kill is?
I've also started looking at spring animes to get an idea of what looks good. I have a couple I think may be interesting, but has anyone else here taken a look and seen anything that they feel may be worth keeping an eye on?

I will add to what Ishicar above said about the new ep. of Kill la Kill with: that you can see my ribcage pulse to my heart, and I have to go change my shirt, it's soaked.

Gurren Lagann has a very similar unapologetically bombastic tone to Kill la Kill. For example (this is a Kill la Kill spoiler btw):
Gurren Lagann starts a liiiiiittle slow, but then quickly escalates to some of the most ridiculous proportions I've seen. It's still my favorite anime to date.

No matter how much I try I couldn't really get to like TTGL or FLCL or KLK as much as many people here.
They are just..too over the top. Trying to hard and often being very cheap while trying to look deep.
Honestly I'd say that I prefer TTGL to KLK, at least it has more fluid animation.
KLK does have it's moments tough. Msot anime does.

Anyone knows the name of that 2 minutes/episode highschool gag anime, in which two friends partake in whacky slapstick hijinks? One wants to be a highschool teacher to look at boobies, the other wants to open a flower shop with him because he is yaoi as hell. Forgot what it is called.

Have you seen Neon Genesis Evangelion? FLCL and TTGL are basically Gainax's own antidote for the massive angst, that's why it is fun.

You have it all wrong though, FLCL *is* deep. FLCL > KLK > TTGL. Remember how Mamimi burned down her school because she was obsessed with that one video game? Wow. Much troubled youths.

Everyone you've loved dies.

Pftt..
All that I loved has died anyway. Only Stan Stan remains, and even if he does hit the Dead Book, there's no way he's actually dead. The man is just too hardcore for hell.

Yeah dude, he'll just stride up to the Stranger and make him chose: bend your knee, or bend your neck!
Same with Baristan The B-Old. That little bunch of haggard bones will be snapping and cracking others for at least one more book I say.

Oh and I did watch The Garden of Words, and really enjoyed it. It was still bittersweet but not as bad as I was prepared for after 5 Centimeters. I actually thought the age-difference was handled relatively well all things considering even though I did not become quite as emotionally attatched as in 5 Centimeters. The animation was definitely the best thing about the film though, I could have watched the entire thing in mute and still enjoyed it.
Have you watched any of Makoto Shinkai's other films? The only other one I've seen was a 7 minute short called Someone's Gaze, which was good. I would like to check out more of his stuff, Tbh.
I will have to watch garden of words then. I was a little apprehensive about watching it but since you liked it I will be sure to give it a watch.
other shinkai films? well I have only watched 3 total: 5 cm per second, voices of a distant star, the place promised in our early days. all three are romances, and all three are good.
voices of a distant star is 40 minutes. its about this girl (who is in the space corp) and the boy she loves (who is back on earth). due to the fact that the technology they have lets them travel faster than the speed of light she is able to travel huge distances from earth in short periods of time. but radio waves (the only way the couple can communicate) can only travel at the speed of light, and so the communication between them stretches out years, with no prospect of seeing each other and no way to know if the other has died in the interim. the short is about how they cope
the place promised in our early days is another sad movie about love. it has an interesting backstory where there is a technology able to create doorways between parallel universes. there is a project where the purpose is to transfer matter from another universe to the one that the project is in. the movie is about the romance of two of the main characters, and how they both unknowingly/knowingly manipulate the world around them.
5 cm per second > the place promised in our early days > voices of a distant star. give place promised a watch, not really a big deal if you don't watch voices of a distant star though
on a side note, if anyone is looking for a good shoujo ai (or just a good romance really) I would recommend watching the aoi hana anime, and then reading the manga. even though I haven't finished the manga, both are really good and are earnest in their portrayal of love. both are beautiful in more ways than one

For Garden of Words I don't think it will blow you away or anything (actually the animation will, but you've seen enough of Shinkai's films to expect that already) but for a 45 minute anime, its worth checking out.
Well, sounds like I have a few things to check out myself. A good romance is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I'll check out Aoi Hana after I finish the one I'm currently watching now. I've been watching Chihayafuru which is a sports/romance anime and I love it (so much that it will probably end up being one of my top 10 favorite animes). One of the main male characters reminds me a bit of Kanae from from 5 Centimeters, which is kind of depressing actually, because like Kanae from 5 centimeters hes my favorite and I get the impression the girl he loves is completely oblivious to it and only seems interested in a guy she has not even talked to in years.. That said it has one of the more mature and well handled love triangles (which is something I usually despise) I've seen in a story, and the group dynamic is amazing.
