    Anyone interested in A&M beers? smile.png

    Hmm, are people who watch anime of the age to drink :pac:

    I kid, I kid.

    I'd be up for it.

    Hmm, does anybody here watch Kill la kill? I watched a fan theory/photo about last weeks episode and it literally blew my mind.

    Don't click if you don't want to take the chance that it will spoil future episodes.

    Am I the only one who is disappointed when I find out that a anime is based off a novel rather than a manga, it means I can't read a head.

    I generally have more than one show going at a time, but like to keep focused on one. I'll be watching one show with my girlfriend, and then something else on my own a lot of the time

    Yup. I'm currently watching 9. They're all currently airing though, bar one, so with only new episode a week of each it's easy enough to keep up.

    Yeah, I tend not to keep current with ones that are still airing, much prefer to wait until all episodes are out or on DVD and marathon a show. Or at least watch it at my own pace. Attack on titan was the only show I kept up with while it was airing.

    Saw that linked on reddit and thought there was going to be a joke, didn't think it would be an actual ad for IE.

    Looks like they're really pushing for people to come back to using such a useless browser :pac: It's a well made clip too!

    Normally I could barely keep watching one series and it's usually one that has finished.

    You know, Links, I think I might be the opposite. I have no problem with fanservice if it's in a serious setting, as long as it's plausible and tasteful, but I do have a problem with the very jarring obvious fan service.

    Fanservice in a serious setting generally just pulls me out of what might otherwise be a really good experience, I don't like it when that happens.

    Watching Darker Than Black, Yoko Kanno's music is just incredible, I love it :D

    Linked on Crunchyroll, just some AMAZING AMV's showing off the anime series from 2012 and 2013.

    2012


    2013


    Sad to say I recognised a lot of the ones from 2013 due to keeping up with simulcasts.

    I am currently watching Kill La Kill and Coppelion. Kill La Kill is just wow and cleverly written. I love how random it is. I only watched two episodes of Coppelion and reminds me of Gunslinger Girl and comes across as deep. Reminds me I need to go back and watch more episodes but I too prefer when they are all realised as cliff hangers can be a pain...

    I am totally up for beers, coffee what not! :D

    The new kill la kill episode is incredible.

    I thought it was just a sill fan service show at first, but now I'm starting to think that everything has a purpose.

    And the artwork. Wow.

    Its definitely growing on me, was a bit "Whats all the buzz about?" for the first 2 episodes but its really coming together, I like how Ryuko does'nt win every fight by going "I CAN ROAR LOUDER THAN YOU SUPER-POWER-MEGA-ABILITY RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH......." like most other action series.

    Plus the scenes where her friend does the interpretive dances to explain whats going on are brilliant :D

    Have you guys seen the trailer for Princess Kaguya, the new Studio Ghibli feature? The artwork is awesome! It has such an old skool look and feel to it and the story is bound to be top notch as always.

    Anyhoo...here it is for those who have not seen it yet:

    Saw it yesterday, it looks great. Great to see another Isao Takahata film too, I think the last one I saw of his was My Neighbors The Yamada's. This has a very similar art style.

    I see police came to an Asian cosplay convention after someone came in a very revealing Kill la Kill cosplay. :/

    EDIT: It was over this
