What anime are you watching or manga are you reading?

Vojera · 27-02-2015 11:46am

I'm just about to start reading Sailor Moon for the first time. I am beyond excited.

mrkite77 · 28-02-2015 12:24am

Been watching Shirobako. It's great. "yo dawg, I heard you like anime so I made an anime about making anime"

ShivaDark · 02-03-2015 4:06am

I'm currently watching Ristorante Paradiso and Koufuku Graffiti. I just finished watching Gokusen.

Finished watching Shinsekai Tori (From the New world) and holy crap! One of the best shows I've ever seen.

I've got to say Shinsekai Yori is one of the few anime series that i disliked purely because of how conflicted i felt after the finale.

The fact that

It turns out the characters who you've been watching and rooted for over 24 episodes at the end turn out to be not human but actually the genetic evolution of humanity whose people turned humanity into creatures in order to be able to kill them without worry of accidentally murdering one of their own and killing themselves in the process. I couldn't help but feel conflicted about who i should have been seeing as the protagonists of the show.

I've been watching Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu. I really like it. I showed the first few episodes to a friend recently and it's shocking how much lighter it is at the beginning compared to where the story is now.

I'm enjoying watching Terraformars and Gintama

WilsonIRL · 10-03-2015 8:47pm

Just finished reading Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. Oh the feels!

Gunmonkey · 26-03-2015 12:55am

Just marathoned Yona of the Dawn (Akatsuki no Yona) over the past 2 days, so damn good and really mad I didnt watch it streamed until now. A really good adventure/drama with some great characters and music.

WilsonIRL · 26-03-2015 12:58pm

Just saw the last episode of Kiseijū: Sei no Kakuritsu. For a show that started well and then got so much better, it kind of ended poorly. It got all introspective and lost its pace. It was a very good series though. Well worth checking out.

Going to check out Bahamut: Genesis next unless the next season has too many good series to watch... ah nuts;

Nagato Yuki-chan no Shōs*h*i*t*su 3/4/15 ( <---edit: lol)
Knights of Sidonia: Battle for Planet Nine 10/04/15

ah, i can find the time to watch it somewhere.

PKdude · 27-03-2015 12:11am

I'm currently watching Neon Genesis Evangelion. My Last Anime was Death Note, and I think my next will be Soul Eater.
I've heard so much good things about Evangelion, I've reached episode 8, so far it's good, but I feel it's been over hyped, I'm guessing it gets much better?

PopePalpatine · 27-03-2015 10:28am

It does get better, but then again I'm highly biased. :pac:

Art_Wolf · 27-03-2015 12:31pm

I'm not a big fan of NGE - I needed to watch a few youtube clips to get an understanding of everything that is actually going on.

Started watching Fairy Tale dubbed, just throwing it on in the background. Having major fights last an episode is amazing

Yeah, I hope it does, other animes I've watched have gotten me hooked really early on, but NGE seems slow

I was considering Fairy Tale to be my first "Over 100 episode" anime, but I was tempted to start that over Summer since, well I got time to :P

I watched Rahxephon after watching Eva and i ended up enjoying Rahxephon a lot more than Eva so it might be an option for you to check out.

I tried to watch Fairy Tale but i gave up after a few episodes as i preferred watching Bleach and Naruto.

Sure I'll definitely put Rahxephon on the list, just wanna get through Soul Eater since I've been putting it off for a while. Death Note Season 1 was great, but Season 2 for me wasn't nearly as enjoyable.

WilsonIRL · 02-04-2015 10:16am

Now that Naruto is essentially over and Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is finished, I'm only reading Bleach. I know i need to catch up with Shingeki no Kyojin but is anyone reading anything at the minute that i might be able to get into?

Sephiroth_dude · 04-04-2015 3:19pm

Back watching fairy tale again with the proper voice overs.

Heh, same - also watching Pandora Hearts

Cotts72 · 07-04-2015 1:39am

With parasyte ended and Tokyo ghoul done until the summer (hopefully) I had to find something to keep me occupied! Tried 3 new animes today : seven deadly sins , seraph of the end and juuou mujin no fafnir! Gonna keep me occupied for a while by the looks of it!

Its great isn't

? Only took about a year :rolleyes: the other dub was painful too listen too

Just started watching Nagato Yuki-chan no Shou****su. I've missed the Haruhi-verse a lot since the main series and movie came out and this show seems more like a full on SoL than the weirdness of Melancholy. Still, I'm reading the main 'verse LNs as they come out so I'm up to date there and this show is filling a need for more of this great 'verse.

mrkite77 · 14-04-2015 6:38am

Shirobako just keeps getting better and better.

WilsonIRL · 14-04-2015 9:21am

I finished watching Shirobako last week. It started off kind of slow but i was hooked after only a few episodes.

I've been trying to watch it but the fact that it's so dull, even for an SoL show, it just isn't as good as a lot of the other new shows this season. It's almost a worse joke than the second season of Haruhi with the 8 identical episodes.

Finally finished watching Code Geass! :eek:

I seriously struggled to get through that

How/why so?

To be honest, the show just wasn't for me. I didn't like the art style, at first I thought the knightmare frames were cool and a little more down to earth and realistic, but then it just got more and more outrageous as the show went on. I'm not usually a fan of mecha, so that aspect just put me off. I guess often times I didn't quite care about the characters, so that didn't help my enjoyment of the show.

I can see why folks like it so much, but all I can say is that it just didn't strike a chord with me and I ended up struggling to get through it.
