Aww, no one?

>Fanfiction.


No.

To be fair, some is better than the source material (not hard in some cases). OP's however, is not one of them.

SAGE has been used.

Yours doesnt have to be as dark as mine, im just watching mirai nikki and... I.love.Yuno.

also is that abandoned warehouse thing something that really used to happen bc it's a big pattern.
are there any news articles or somethng?

>has anyone read the VN for Steins? And how does it stack up to the anime?

My friend has played it, he said it's superior to the anime.

>I wanted to read the VN, but last I heard, it wasn't even close to being translated.

The official translation hasn't been completed yet (as far as I know), but there is a pre-patch out which you can find on nyaatorrents which patches everything as far as I know (I believe you need a working copy of the VN to install it on top of though).

The original pre-patch torrent was up'd in January and has instructions on how to install it on the torrent page, but there's an updated version which was up'd in May so you'll probably want to grab that one.


Also, Chaos;Head anime was probably the worst thing I've ever watched (at least to completion anyway). I've heard the VN is good at the start, but falls apart at after the mid-way point.

Any1 heard about translation for the PSP version?

>>420
Heh, nice get.

How superior? Would it be worth reading the VN after seeing the anime? I don't normally do that, but if there was a lot of content cut out, I'd really like to see it. I'm really not lying when I say that this is the first series that's caught my interest since Death Note.

Yeah, the last time I checked on the VN translation status was right about when the group who was doing the unofficial translation got their C&D from Nitro+. That's why I sort of gave up hope. If there are people still going at it, though, that's good to know. I'll have to look into that. Ideally, I'd planned to read it natively, but learning kanji has been a pain in the ass so far, and they used a lot of technical jargon. Maybe I'll try it with Robotics;Notes.

Yes, the Chaos;HEAd anime was absolutely terrible. That's why I was curious about the Steins VN after seeing how good the anime was. The Chaos;HEAd VN was actually not too bad -- it does sort of fall apart after the halfway point, but putting aside the confusing hikikomori bullshit (which was great in the first half, but just became cumbersome in the last half) the ending was tolerable. Nothing like that LOL FRIENDSHIP IS POWER crap that happened in the anime. I have heard that Steins was a much closer adaptation, though, which is what gives me slight reservations about dedicating the time to the VN.

After seeing the improvement from Chaos to Steins, though, I can say I am fully pumped for Robotics;Notes. Sounds like a good premise so far, and pretty relevant to my interests.

>Would it be worth reading the VN after seeing the anime?
The guy I know said something to the effect of "don't bother with the VN if you watched the anime, unless you really loved the setting". I think he also said Okabe is quite different in the VN and comes across as a bit of a douche.


>the unofficial translation got their C&D from Nitro+
I don't think they got a C&D order. I think the guy leading the project got hired to do it officially, so the unofficial project he was running was disbanded. I think.


>After seeing the improvement from Chaos to Steins, though, I can say I am fully pumped for Robotics;Notes. Sounds like a good premise so far, and pretty relevant to my interests.
I'm eagerly awaiting that too. I hope it turns out to be good.

John Titor was an event that actually occurred on the internet, not just made up as a plot point for the show.

>>454->>458
So is that a recommendation?

>>459
For Jintai? Yes, especially after the second episode a thousand times yes. Kokoro Connect is pretty meh but it might go somewhere better. Not really sure about Binbougami-ga, that's not really my style.

Started with Sakamichi no Apollon.

Incredibly good.

>>459
Jinrui's basically the only thing I'm still watching this season.

>>474
That shit was so fucking meta.

I did VERY little googling and found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirokuma_Caf%C3%A9

Don't suck me up!!!

Shirokuma Cafe. It's pretty good.

Oh, and watch the Cowboy Bebop movie in case you haven't. It's pretty good. Also, the guy who did Cowboy Bebop did Samurai Champloo and that's worth checking out. Maybe not as good as Cowboy Bebop, but still has the same feel and just really bad ass. And the soundtrack is also pretty good if you like Hip Hop. Instead of space it's in feudal Japan.

And if you want another mecha series to look at besides the countless Gundam series, there's always Neon Genesis Evangelion. I've only seen parts of it, though, so I can't exactly recommend it.

The first Afro Samurai film was pretty cool, too. And the action scenes are done fairly well.

I hope you get out of only just wanting to watch only action Anime, cause there's so much good shit out there. Like the Studio Gibli films and some of Satoshi Kon's work like Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, and Tokyo Godfathers. Just so much good short series (like 20 or so episodes) and a bunch of great films.

And, believe it or not, the Naruto and One Piece series are actually really good with the original Japanese dubs if you can stand to read subtitles. The Westernization of them turned them to shit.

And for another sort of action oriented really long series there's Lupin the 3rd if you want to keep up with the shenanigans of a deadbeat thief and his gang.

Sorry for all the suggestions, but hope some of those peak your interest.

>>438
I just watched FLCL tonight, and I have to say, it's just six episodes of insanity. It is, however, immensely enjoyable, and very well animated. I was grinning through most of it, and there were even a few "Fuck Yeah" moments. Highly recommended.

>>437
It's not so much that it wasn't funny, but it seemed deliberately generic and serious about it. "Yeah, this girl wears short shorts and we're showing you her ass for a full four seconds. And yes, she uses a massive rifle. You're supposed to like this stuff, shut up."
In comparison, Gurren Lagann has the exact same thing but seems to handle it in a manner I enjoy more. It's hard to describe, I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about.
>>438
I've read about FLCL being great so I'll watch it eventually. I watched the first episode of Gundam Wing and it seemed a little bit corny, but I don't think I gave it enough of a chance. I'm going to watch some of the original just to see, though.
>>440
I've seen all of the Studio Gibli movies and enjoyed them immensely. I just tend to enjoy more action-oriented stuff when I'm viewing it in short blocks of around a half hour, with long breaks in between since I rarely watch more than a few episodes a day, or a season in a week. It's also not just that I enjoy only constant explosions and gun/swordplay, it's that I tend to be wary of anime that doesn't fall under the 'action' umbrella because I just can't stand any touhou or K-on sort of stuff.

I've been watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and have been enjoying it. Though, it is sort of confusing to me. I'd recommend it. It has a nice fresh take on Mecha anime. Currently on episode 21. There's only 26 of them and two movies or something. It's more of a character drama to me than big ass things fighting each other, but there's plenty of that too. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an english dubbed version so I'm not sure if one exists and I don't know how you are about reading subtitles.

Neon genesis IMO is one the best amines ever made, and you guys have pretty much covered all of my other favorites. I do have one more addition though: Gun Grave. This one was a really good mob syndicate fighter about two street brothers who make it far in the mob and betray each other and one becomes good and tries to stop the other cause he's a bad ass pseudo superhuman with an awesome gun haha.

You could yourself, if you tried.

5 Centimetres Per Second.

At least try reading the tags next time...

SAGE has been used.

I've seen it, and in my opinion it is simply an amazing, moving film.

>>416
I loved the first episode, but disliked the other two. And I especially hated the ending, a real let down in my opinion. But it's beautifully animated, pretty short, and others seem to love the whole movie, so I'd recommend it.

>>353
i kinda enjoy it that show

I'm going to go one record and declare Garzey's Wing and Gun-do Mushashi the Room and Birdemic (respectively) of anime.

Any moe shit I wasted my time to watch. (Like K-ON)

anything where main characters are supposed to be in the army or police force but wear stupidly revealing clothes for no reason and no one says a single word about dress code

>>402
You sound like a barrel of fun.

I wish Shaft had gotten this show, they did an excellent job with Nishioishin's *monogatari novels... that said, I am enjoying this show.

>>359 again.

By the way, which subs are you watching this show with? The only groups currently fansubbing it have been doing a pretty mediocre/bad job of it, so try watching CrunchyRoll's subs (search "HorribleSubs" on nyaatorrents) and see if you change your mind about it.

While it is poorly done, it's not ENTIRELY Gainax's fault.
Medaka Box is godawful, especially during the early bits the anime covers.

So if you have a 99chan.org email and didn't get your gay porn newsletter and are wondering why, that is why.

Fear not though because I have moved shit outside of that server so normal operations can resume; I will add it back in when they seem to get their shit together.

We DO have a big server bill due in a few days so any sort of donation would be appreciated. Either get a hold of me via email or jump on IRC and send me a message for details on how to donate.

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

Upotte, Tsuritama, Jorgumand, Nazo no Kanojo X, Queen's Blade.

That is all.

Gonna watch:
Yamato 2199
Saki spinoff
E7 sequel
Maybe Ozuma

Going to watch these this season:
- Hyouka
- Natsuiro no Kiseki
- Medaka Box
- Accel World

They're all made by studios whose works I've enjoyed in the past, so hopefully they turn out to be good. Medaka Box is being worked on by a guy who was involved with Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari, which rank among my favourite anime, so I have fairly high hopes for it.

Here's an updated version (3.1)

-
These look interesting

Gothicmade: Hana no Utame
Hiiro no Kakera
Hyou-ka
Jormungand
Momo e no Tegami
Sakamichi no Apollon
Shirokuma Cafe
Niji-Iro Hotaru: Eien no Natsuyasumi

And maybe Acchi Kocchi for the hair

why do people like steins gate? i thought it was somehwat mediocre for most of it and only watched it to finish it. I would have to vote for 2011 Madoka. I also, really enjoyed Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko. There were a lot of new shows that I thought were fun and really enjoyed but I cant really rank…

My top favorites were definitely Madoka and Nichijou. AnoHana was aiiiight. Mirai Nikki is coming out to be alright too, but some of the episodes in the middle have just seemed like pointless filler and retardation. Hopefully they wrap it off nicely. I haven't watched Penguindrum, yet but it seemed just out there enough to be interesting. Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko is one I hadn't even considered though. Guess I'll give that one a shot.

Gosick!

Tiger & Bunny, and Madoka were the only ones I liked that came out in 2011.
I don't watch moe crap so those are really my only two options.

>>310

It's in the filename of OP's image.

>>311
You'll excuse me for not guessing that was the title.

Where are you guys watching this? I haven't found a place that has more then the first few episodes translated. Or can you just speak moon speak?

>>315

People still stream anime?

Go to http://myanimelist.net, find the anime you want to watch and then check the fansub section to see which groups it has been subbed by. You can get an idea of which groups did a good job and which didn't by reading the reviews.

Once you've chosen the group whose release that you want to watch (I would recommend Underwater's release for this anime), click their name and there should be a link to their website, along with a list of all the other anime they've subbed.

There should be a link to a torrent or DDL of every show they've done on their site, but if not then check the following sites:
http://www.nyaa.eu/ <--- It's doubtful that you won't be able to find what you're looking for here
http://bakabt.com/ (the search function is restricted to members only, but you can bypass this by going to Google and searching "[Anime Name] site:bakabt.com") <--- Good resource for finding older shows that might not be available on NyaaTorrents
http://tokyotosho.info/ <--- Another resource for older stuff, though lots of the torrents there are dead

Sometimes, especially with older shows, you just have to take whatever you can get, but for newer shows there's usually a wide range of releases to choose from.

>>316 again.

I can't help but feel we should have a sticky with resources such as these and recommendation images. I'm pretty sure 7chan's /a/ has one, been a long time since I've been there though.

If you're an otaku most people already assume you're some kind of pedophile, might as well just go for broke.

PreCure!

SAGE has been used.

>>262

Which is kind of regrettable but I agree that if people already think you're some kind of pedo might as well go for broke and maybe even try to make it humorous like being a self parody of sorts (of course barring anything illegal). At least then people might think a little better of you for making them laugh and maybe if you act ridiculous enough people will think you're not a pedo at all and just doing it for the sole purpose of making a joke.

>>267
For the love of God don't do that. I simply meant if you like one girlie show you shouldn't be afraid of liking others. You're never really going to be liked or accepted for it. At best you can try and act gay or act like you enjoy it for the elaborate fashions and childhood wonderment.

The OP from the 1st two series have been stuck in my head for about a week now.It's really something

Oh,and (h)entropy does make a good point,you like what you like

fanservice cancer shit.

good for jerking off too at least.

SAGE has been used.

Did someone say fanservice?


But even then, there's Eiken, Eiken is fanservice 2 da max y0.

>>247
It's true, architecture aside, Shaft are being painfully faithful to the novels where most would be taking liberties. It gives it the right pace for banter but as a result some bits do feel a little out of place.

>>253
Holy shit,it's gununu

SAGE has been used.

rude

>>202

I don't want to interfere, but IMHO it's just stupid to judge shows worth by OP (see: Magipoka, Narutaru or fuckton other examples) Show is a collection of silly gags (I guess it's a bit in Lucky Star or Nichijou format), but it's enjoyable. Also ED is hands down the best in this season, so...maybe you shouldn't be so quick to ditch it and give it a try?

>>205
Oh, no, I am not criticizing the show itself. It is actually pretty relaxing and surprisingly decent. It is just that its OP had really made me question my want to watch it. I guess I am just nitpicking, but still, I am surprised so many people find the Kill Me Baby OP good!

"Another" episode 3 spoilers...

Earlier in this thread, I mentioned my concerns about this anime ending up coming across as silly rather than creepy, and this episode really did a lot to reaffirm that.

First off, the eye colour thing - why, oh why, did they make her other eye green? Now she has exactly the same eyes as Suiseiseki from Rozen Maiden... what were they thinking?

Secondly, that fucking girl getting impaled on an umbrella... what the fuck? Have you ever seen an umbrella being sold anywhere with an end as sharp as that in your life? Of course you haven't, because nobody makes them like that since they're an obvious fucking safety hazard. Even so, assuming she did by some chance find an umbrella like that in a shop somewhere, why on Earth would she buy it? I mean, maybe a teenage boy would think it was a cool thing to have, but a girl (a seemingly awkward, geeky one at that)? You have got to be kidding me. Hell, where I live something like that is fucking illegal, and yet they expect me to believe that's the kind of thing a school girl would casually carry around and be allowed to bring to school? Sorry, not happening.

If they were going to have her die in that scene, couldn't they have just made her break her neck when she fell down the stairs?

Ughhhhh, I hope I'm just being cynical, but I have a feeling that this is just a taste of the silliness to come...

>>216
Completely agree with you on the eyes. Those were ridiculous, I do not understand why they had to bring Souiseseki into the show. That show is more silly than scary. Verdict: Dropped.
