My girlfriend introduced me to Attack on Titan. It is the best thing since Game of Thrones, to me. I hope Wit Studios hurries and gets Season 2 ready.

I'm not going to go through this entire thread to make sure someone hasn't suggested it - because I'm sure people HAVE. It's an incredibly new and very popular anime so I'd be shocked if other anime fans haven't seen/read it yet. But if you haven't, give the first episodes a go. If you aren't emotionally invested in it by then, well... then I guess you're not a human being.

Ok I'm still on my 3rd playthrough of 999 and I picked doors [4] [7] [1] and I got to say Clover has gone from being a character I was indifferent towards to one of my favorite characters in this game. She's had one of the most emotional moments in the game and so far has had my favorite piece of dialogue with the Ship of Theseus and the Lockes Socks conversation. There's really not many games would be capable of impressing me this much after having already completing it twice...

[Dave of Canada]

Okay, so here's the deal with 999...

Spoiler

None of the puzzles gave me much trouble throughout the game.

But there is one thing I cannot stand.

****** Sudoku.

WHY GAME

calm-down edit: To be fair, it was probably actually a pretty easy Sudoku puzzle.

Still, I spent about 30 minutes before I remembered there was another rule in Sudoku... The one where each box also contains all 9 numbers. I had been trying to solve it using only the line rule.

After that, solving the rest was simple enough. Still kinda feel like I failed and let Akane get incinerated six times over, but hey, the puzzle wasn't actually timed, don't blame me for that.

That is all for now.

 

Moving onto Virtue's Last Reward next?

[eroeru]

I have walked in on too many EVA flamewars to actually participate in one.

 

Fair enough. : )

 

But my point was more stemming from that it's a bit absurd how series are meshed into genres with only facets and very superficial traits of em. It has mechas and children, so it's a "children ride mechas series", just as Gundam!... No. A series isn't defined on facets, it's defined on what it tries to convey.

 

So I'm really having a hard time handling the simplistic recommendations on most sites that deal with these.

 

If I'm looking for an anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion, I'm not looking into some "RahXephon" or whatnot. I'm looking for an in-depth classic-to-be, and for the feeling of it, like the existential conflict, and a bleak, sad, armageddon-type beauty. With cricets.

 

 

By the way, can anyone recommend me something like Witch Hunter Robin and Ergo Proxy? (these series are of similar type, for example - as are the well-paired Texhnolyze and Lain of a kind - it's mostly how it's all conveyed, from this stems what's conveyed, not from a taxonomy of beasts and disorders and classification of animations that appear)

I'm in the mood for some slow, silent yet quite smilingly sad type of anime with ennui-fated yet introvertedly alive to passion characters contemplating and watching leaves fall and whatnot. Could be besides an armageddon or the likes. Doesn't necessarily have to be vampires or dystopias or robots (that's completely irrelevant). Just something that feels alike WHR and EP.

 

Just found a baseball series that kinda goes there. One Outs. Though I'm afraid that's for its first episode only, and most imminently the OP. Not quite so for what's and how's animated though. If they'd have a more personal approach, with more personal and *human* portrayal, it'd be similar in the mood.

PS Oh, and that's a really important personal preference in anime - a so-called personal approach, not just things "objectively" happening, without anyone of a brain or soul aside or in the centre of witnessing.

[eroeru]

Browsing through anime-planet.com's recommendations, some give pretty ok references. I'll check out Strait Jacket.

 

Also, I agree with the reviewer saying Witch Hunter Robin is (a bit) similar to Scrapped Princess. Quote on quote: "Shannon and Amon, in their quiet intensity are an aspect that make these two, with greatly different plots, have a similar feel."

 

Quiet intensity in characters is pretty great. Non-stupid intensity overall really.

[CrazyRah]

What did you think of 61?

 

Spoiler

when Hohenheim revived all the Amestris and the music was cued in. Seriously, it still gives me so many f*cking chills. I have FMAB downloaded on my PC, so I can watch it at ease.

 

P.S the end of 62 is sooooo freaking bad-ass and emotional at the same time.

 

End of 63 will make you tear up a LITTLE... depends...

 

End of 64 will just make you cry because you know it's the END of FMAB. Like, you'll never see anything new... it's soul-crushing... that's why I have a love/hate relationship with Tolkien's works ><

 

Episode 61.. where does one start when describing this single episode. I can easily write essays about it and just how it resonated with me. But i'll keep it simple and say.. the best episode that i've seen in a long time, possibly ever. That track you talk about with what's happening.. unnnng  Hohenheim, i salute you.. you magnificent bastard!

 

[Mr.House]

Hohenheim is a BAMF.

[CrazyRah]

Just finished FMA:B! Episode 62 was really awesome but 63.. feels. Dem feels! Absolutely one of the more emotional episodes and it did evoke a misty eyed me. The ending to that episode was spot on. Then episode 64 really do a great job of rounding up this adventure and after some really strong episodes it treat the viewer with care because after episode 60-63 i sure wasn't the most tranquil person. FMA:B lived up to and beyond everything that i had been told about it, it's not often it happens but when it does it really stick with me. Now i'll have a hard time finding something to take this vacant spot, almost impossible to fill but the last episode did tell me something that i will follow.

"Because it's always followed by a new beginning"

[Puzzlewell]

Puddikoma: Yeah, funny story on that... Isi. don't read this spoiler. I'll make the joke to you after once you're finally done. X3

 

Spoiler

I never got into the Sudoku fad when it hit what, like 10 years ago? Never learned how to play it or anything. I got to that final puzzle, had feels everywhere and then proceeded to learn how to play Sudoku while bawling my eyes out. XD I laugh about it to this day. So glad to hear you enjoyed the game, I do hope VLR treats you just as nicely! Then you can join Geth and me in our little huddle of 'Whyyyyyyy Japan, we need mooooooore'.

 

As for my viewing patterns, getting down to the last three episodes of Shinsekai Yori now. I can say that it's one of those situations where it saddens me to know that my time in the world is almost up. On the plus side though, the fan translation for the novel is coming along nicely, so in time I'll be able to check that out. I'll probably end up finishing the series tonight so either then or tomorrow I'll write something up about it.

[Puzzlewell]

I have to scoot away from my computer for a few hours and phone typing makes me extra derp so I'll wait a little bit to give some proper thinky thoughts on your post Puddi, but don't worry, you'll be left to your own devices as far as worrying about how VLR will mess with things. :3 With that out of the way, sure I can't speak for everyone but please, bother away! The game is super dear to me so I generally love hearing people talk about it. There's a really clever storytelling point that I want to quickly bring up (Whole picture after the true ending spoilers follow):

 

Spoiler

I still can't get over how genius it is that they used the top and bottom screen of the DS to represent past and present as far as perspective is concerned. All those bad endings? They were all possibilities Akane saw at a time. Finally getting everything right gets you the true ending and still it's very rare to me to be able to name a story that so wonderfully handled this sort of storytelling technique. I noticed the different tenses between screens in my playing, but never really thought about it on a bigger degree til after the fact.

 

Some food for thought for you: This was 100 questions pointed to the main writer in between 999 and VLR: http://www.aksysgames.com/999/answers Geth might have already pushed it your way but now you'll get it from me as well.

The first dub epsiode of Attack on Titan is there on kissanime.com if you guys are interested.

 

I'll need to see just how much those 2min clips represent the quality of the dub as a whole. As you know, I wasn't really impressed by them.

 

So I skipped through it, and looked at the important bits, you know, like the end of episode one...

 

Oh god... this dub... I've seen hentai dubbed better than that.

 

Spoiler

Just go look at the end, this is a REALLY powerful scene, and just hear Hannes' VA, he sounds like a freaking WWE star trying to sound 'bad-ass.' There's no sublte undertone, no compassion... it's so freaking... ugh ><

 

AND EREN! DON'T GET ME STARTED ON EREN! F*CK ME! Erren is SCREAMING in the sub, he is literally ripping his lungs apart with those cries of horror and pain... all we get is a cheesy "Noooo?" I'm seriously dreading Armin's scream with Eren's 'death.' The one that was kinda alright was Travis (Mustang) but even then... eehhh, nahh... nothing on the the Japanese VAs.

 

Yeah they f*cked up real good. It's not just the delivery of the line, it's some the alterations too

 

"You resort to violence because your brain's the size of a WALNUT!"

 

What.

 

The.

 

F*ck.

 

-.-

 

Maybe it's because I've watched it 3 times subbed, but even so... you have some good dubs, hell, FMAB is just great, and Steve Blum was perfect as Spike. Code Geass and Death Note too, but the latter was mainly due to L's VA.

 

This needed a lot of care, I mean, it's AoT for god's sake! Funimation should have treated this as a really special case and gone full-out "we can't f*ck this up" mode.

 

Eren's mum was good though... too bad she dies.

 

 

 

 

AND THEY CUT THE F*CKING OPENING SHORT!!!!!!??????

 

 

How dare they ruin something as holy as AoT! And you watched it 3 times? Lol, I only did 2 so far  

 

But I'm thinking of doing a rewatch! I should really start reading the manga too.

[Isichar]

With 999, I'm on the final puzzle of the game, should see this true ending as soon as I get home tonight. I'm excited for it. I'm already thinking of giving this game a 10/10, but a 9/10 just seems more.. Appropriate expect to hear my thoughts on that later today at some point.

[Milan92]

Whelp, I found my next list of anime to watch. I'll start with Trigun, to continue the buffet with Ghost in the shell and for dessert: Nisekoi.

[CrazyRah]

Decided that the anime that will take over after FMA:B will be Gurren Lagann. It's a shame that i've not seen it yet and i will absolutely fix this disgrace!

I knew they where going to mess up Eren, I just knew it.

 

Just sad really, like you said there are some really good dubs, and some anime like GL where some characters where better in the dub(others better in the sub) then we have **** like this dub that just give dubs a bad name.

[Mr.House]

Oh dear god.

 

Spoiler

If they messed up his mothers death scene, I don't even wanna know how they butchered Petra and the rest of the squads death.....

 

Now I has a sad.
