Manga/Anime You Read/Watch

[quote=xIchi][quote=Nighthawk] [quote=lifebaka] [quote=Nighthawk] you might enjoy the Dangan Ronpa animation from Funimation which is similar to Death Note, or No Game No Life, which is sort of like SAO/Death Note...sort of [/quote] [i]Danganronpa the Animation[/i] was really bad. It just couldn't tell an engaging story to save its life. Its intended audience is relatively young, and holy hell does it show in how it handles things. If you're interested in this particular setup, [i]Deadman Wonderland[/i] is similar in concept and tone, but is just straight up superior in every way. [i]No Game No Life[/i] was really fun, but I'm not sure that it'd appeal to someone who doesn't watch a lot of anime. It's playing heavily to some of the hikimori/otaku tropes to great effect, but that might be offputting to someone who isn't already familiar with them. Plus it needs at least another season to really finish telling its story, so it might be better to wait and see how that turns out. [/quote] i only watched a bit of the animation, but it's based on the video game, which is definitely not for younger audiences, so unless they tuned it down a whole bunch i don't see how it could be. deadman wonderland is good from what i hear though. personally i enjoyed ngnl despite not watching a lot of anime, but agree it needs at least another season [/quote] The animation style was derp. The censoring was derp even morexD[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Just finished volume 13 of I Am A Hero. Still going strong in its weirdness. Some character development and setup for future events. I'm excited to see the next volume. Also just read chapter 59 of SNK. I love Isayama's way of telling stories. And the fact that he included that scene illustrating the public's lack of knowledge on the situation(possibly to set up some future event) was just the cherry on the top.[/quote]

[quote=XeresAce]o.o Looks like Steins; Gate beat FMA: B Code Geass vs Steins; Gate in the finals![/quote]

[quote=xIchi]I srsly don#t get S;G :/ I didn't like it all and I can't really understand the hype around it lol[/quote]

[quote=XeresAce]Everyone has their own tastes :P I'm glad FMA: B got beat though, I was sick of seeing it /EVERYWHERE/ for the last 4 years xD[/quote]

[quote=YayaFTW]Seems like [color=#FFFFFF]Stein's Gate[/color] is gonna win this. [color=white]Monogatari[/color] coming 4th place and beating celebrities like [color=white]SnK [/color]and all-time anime classics like [color=white]Death Note[/color] and [color=white]NGE[/color] was an unexpected but happy event. Apparently they might do the same tourney for anime movies this time, but this one would be pointless. Studio Ghibli is gonna wreck it one way or another. I suppose only Makoto Shinkai's [color=white]5cm per second[/color] stands a chance against Ghibli's top tier movies, unless I'm mistaken. [color=white]Summer Wars[/color] could pull off a monogatari too.[/quote]

[quote=lifebaka][quote=XeresAce] Everyone has their own tastes :P [/quote] Yes, but you see, tastes which differ from my own are inherently incorrect and should be punished by death. Perhaps torture and then death, but I prefer to think of myself as having a bit of humility, so we'll just go with death. That said, I hate to see Code Geass doing so well. It's not that good. This is why I'm not fond of popularity contests, they tend to prop up the moderately good and simple to understand over more complicated and better works.[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]Paprika the movie would go really high @lifebaka, or they buff up animes that are apparently 'deep' and 'hard to understand'. So people voting/standing up for it feel like they are superior :D! (talking about S;G) idk. I just can't stand S;G lol[/quote]

I didn't really want to watch past the first episode of S;G and never made it past halfway of season 1 of CG... W/e, I'm happy with Shinsekai Yori and Psycho - Pass making it on the list. Also, about the movie competition, does Kara no Kyoukai count? The 5th and 7th movie were really, really good imo o3o[/quote]

Stein's;Gate is complex, but it also has MASSIVE FUCKING GAPING PLOTHOLES. Yet it's somehow the "best anime ever" or whatever the contest is for. The only award S;G deserves is my "Nothing special" award.[/quote]
