Anime/Manga Aficionado's Lounge! II

That was awesome. I really got a good first impression of Goudou after he was like "Ok so I'll kick his ass and everything going to be fin! What? Of course I know he's a god. Why do you ask?"

Nice to see a main character who seems to actually enjoy going into fights against impossible odds.

Though, looking back, dude got used to the supernatural stuff really fast:

"Huh, city got wrecked by a giant monster god. That really just happened, I guess. Girl with magical powers. Okay. A talking cat? Sure, why not. Man, Italy is kinda weird."

Seriously, he didn't even react to the cat.

I already like Erica, she's funny, proactive and her Tsundere tendencies aren't needlessly exaggerated.

Well, she didn't exactly strike me as the most original female lead - sorta felt like I've seen this character before somewhere. She's not unlikable, though.

Actually, it's been a while since I last saw one of those really extreme tsundere. Maybe it's just me and the animes I watch, but it seems like they've been toned down in recent years.

Also about what happened at the end, i was like " O_o This normally doesn't happen until 3/4 into the first season."

What, the kiss? I wouldn't get my hopes up. Looked like she was perfoming some kind of magical unsealing ritual. That's actually pretty common - heck, Negima made it into a reoccuring theme. I'm sure "powerup via kiss" has it's own TV Tropes page by now, though I can't be hedgehogged to check. Anyway, ten to one that after the fight, she'll insist it wasn't personal and that it couldn't be helped.

The protagonist from Dog Days was more or less the same way.

Cinque: "Okay, let's review here. I've been summoned to a parallel dimension--which resembles the Medieval Ages-- by a princess who wants me to be her champion in a magical tournament war consisting of anthropomorphic humanoids with destructive powers?"

Millhi: "Pretty much."


Cinque: ".....Holy crap, that's awesome! Sign me up!"

Mysterious Girlfriend X: The very odd film production arc is sort of finished, we just have to see the actual movie now.

But the thing that made the most impact on me here is the faces. This chapter has some of the most beautiful faces that I've ever seen in a manga. Just stunning stuff really.

Nice to see a main character who seems to actually enjoy going into fights against impossible odds.

There's few things that annoy me more than main character who keeps whining about getting involved in the supernatural stuff. It's hard to root for a guy like that.

From what I understand the first episode is basically a streamlined version of Vol 3 of the Light Novel, which is sort of prequel orgin story compared to previous two volumes that have Godou as Campione.

I guess they wanted to get it over with now, and I can't really blame them. Nothing More annoying than lengthy origin story flashback in the middle of the story.

Well, she didn't exactly strike me as the most original female lead - sorta felt like I've seen this character before somewhere. She's not unlikable, though.

I don't know, she seems more... relaxed than the female lead usually is in the first episode. Like when she went and got herself drunk and started arguing with the mask. What I want to say is that she's not as stuffy as I expected her to be.

What, the kiss? I wouldn't get my hopes up. Looked like she was perfoming some kind of magical unsealing ritual. That's actually pretty common - heck, Negima made it into a reoccuring theme.

Anyway, ten to one that after the fight, she'll insist it wasn't personal and that it couldn't be helped.

You think so? Well it possible, but I would find it bit of a letdown really. I can't remember when I saw anime when the lead characters actually got into a relationship, instead of just dancing around the issue for most of the series.

Agame ga Kill:

The lover reunite under the moonlight.

Yeah, just give it up Tatsumi. You're stuck with her until she dies. Of course knowing this manga...

So I watched Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse, and I have to say, that it was probably the most boring first episode I've ever seen. Really doesn't entice me to keep watching.

Agame ga Kill:

The lover reunite under the moonlight.

Yeah, just give it up Tatsumi. You're stuck with her until she dies. Of course knowing this manga...

Sometimes among all this killing, I forget how good the humor in this series is.

*Tatsumi makes a cool, heroic speech.*

Susanoo: that was a cool speech, but you zipper is open.

*Everyone laughs at Tatsumi*

Tatsumi: Stop laughing guys

Akame: Sorry Tatsumi, I noticed it, but I though it was a fashion statement.

Tatsumi: I"m not that liberal!

Akame: From now on I'll pay attention, and look every now and then. *with very serious face*

Tasumi: Please don't!

Gotta love Akame!

Toriko: OOOOH YEAH! IT'S ON!

Medaka Box: Awwwww! Yes, it's on!

Worst 119: The Manji invasion begins in earnest and it is awesome! :D

"You'd better not be running around showing your colours like a bunch of fucking tourists,"

"..."

<_<

>_>

"...No sir, we're not doing that..."

[KingofPie]

So they're making a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime and fighting game.

Could not care less about the game, but the anime makes me a happy man!

So, I finally finished the Soul Eater Anime...
spoilers:

A punch to the face? Really? The guy lols at everything else the heroes try and then a punch to the face does him in?

Yes. Yes it does.

I find it quite a hilarious moment since it's so stupid but at the same time presented in such an epic fashion that I can't help but be pumped every time I see it. Then after seeing it I re-realise how stupid it is.

You should try out the manga. We haven't even seen Asurah since he escaped from the school, although they are getting close to him now.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Medaka Box: Darnit! I wanted them to go out into space and fight on the moon like everybody else is doing.

Beelzebub: Even when he's rich Furuichi can't catch a break. And Oga's faced with quite an interesting little problem here.

Toriko: This looks like a fairly fun arc. Of the four beasts I like the mounturtle the most.

Baby Steps: Now this. THIS is where it's on!

Toriko: This looks like a fairly fun arc. Of the four beasts I like the volcanoturtle the most.

Fixed.

And yeah, it is awesome. I can't wait for the fights.
