Just caught up on the first 3 Tokyo Ghoul episodes, really liking it.

Links234 · 18-07-2014 11:38pm

Watching a bit more of Bakemonogatari, the Monkey arc, but I'm still not too gone on it.

Kanbaru is awesome though.

Zankyou no Terror has all of my hype, the two episodes that have aired so far have been unbelievable, looking forward to the rest.

I'm also watching Aldnoah.Zero, Barakamon, Space Dandy 2, Hanayamata, SAO 2 and Akame ga Kill. I'm not sold on Tokyo Ghoul yet to be honest, I'm not sure if I'll stick with it. I've already dropped Glasslip. I loved Nagi no Asukara, and was hoping for another great PA Works series, but it just hasn't interested me at all.

Finished Steins;Gate the other day too, probably the best anime I've watched so far, I absolutely loved it.

Just watched Trigun Badlands Rumble. Really enjoyed it. May give Trigun a second chance.

i am currently reading one piece, done on its latest chapter, can't wait for the next one.

right now, i'm watching B gata H kei ~ i don't love etchi at all but this one is caught my attention.

eyeshield 21 episode 78, i'm kinda lost on track on this anime, but still love it ~ Yaha!

Capeta, simply cool! my blood pumps faster everytime each episode climb at it's climax

Vojera · 21-07-2014 10:57am

I'm so behind! I finally got to watch a few more episodes of Attack on Titan. I'm only about ep 15 now. Life got so busy there for a while and it was a choice between anime, reading books, playing on Steam and sleep.

But now we seem to have settled back into our Saturday morning routine, which is my wife watches DIY programmes on tv and I watch Crunchyroll on my phone

Has anyone watched the start of the Sailor Moon reboot? I think I'm going to add that to my list as it's only on every other week.

GinoS · 23-07-2014 8:24am

Really enjoying Zankyou no Terror. Feels like I'm watching Death Note for the first time again. Great suspense and everything just fits perfectly.

Tokyo Ghoul is a fun one for in between. Interested to see where the story is heading.

Space Dandy was perfect again, one of my faves of all time

mrkite77 · 24-07-2014 2:18am

I've said it before, but this week it's really evident. Sabagebu has the *best* MC ever:

Zankyou is great.

yeah, Zankyou no Terror is wat toooo coooollllll!

sniper_samurai · 24-07-2014 10:44am

Watching Blood+ and Gatchaman. Watched the Rurouni Kenshin live action movie last night, iys pretty good.

Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill have been added to Netflix UK and Ireland.

Perkinstock · 24-07-2014 10:48am

Dunno what came to me, but I’m watching tora dora now, cause my girl beg me to watch it, at first I thought it sucks (like mostly all romance anime I’ve watched, but for some reasons I like it) aha

Saw that, really hope this means Anime Limited will be putting their stuff up there now. And these are 2 of their licensed series they haven't even released physical copies of, fair play to them for canabalizing their own sales a bit to broaden the release. Whereas the likes of MangaUK would be scoffing and breaking series into individual episode DVD's to counter it.

More likely it was Aniplex, they have all of yheir stuff available for streaming between all the US services, still Manga need to buck up, they add the first part of the Wall guide with AoT 1 but don't have the second part with the second set.

Doesn't help that Manga are pushing that stupid Ashens movie harder than any anime I've seen recently including Attack on Titan which should be their biggest seller this year.

Gunmonkey · 24-07-2014 8:41pm

I dunno, but looked into it and all the original reviews (all 360+) are back up on Gurren Lagann. Maybe the license had just expired and since whoever released it originally went kaput, when Anime Limited came along it was just reactivated.

I caught up on this over the weekend, best comedy of the season (but not much competition).

Sephiroth_dude · 31-07-2014 11:38am

I think death note might well be the best anime I've ever watched,just amazing,I'm watching vampire knight now and finding it very hard to get into

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is definitely decent competition for comedy of the season. Barakamon has its moments of comedy too.

125 episodes of Hunter X Hunter 2011 has been added to netflix

If anyones interested, Space Pirate Harlock has also gone up on Netflix, its under Harlock: Space Pirate.

Also checked out Viewster, some alternate version of Netflix that used to have a lot of old animes. They have dropped a lot of their older series and gotten some newer series like Bakumatsu Rock, both Oreimos (1st series never got a stream I think), Servant x Service, Silver Spoon.

Yeah Harlock was added on Friday, was announced back in May.

Pretty good stuff on Viewster including Star Driver which was never licensed here.

Its about €6 in HMV, been tempted, even considering the physics defying boobs....

Gunmonkey · 08-08-2014 5:35pm

Seems Viewster is going all out, have added Bakemonogatari, Nisemonogatari and Fate/Zero to their service, and Oreshura is coming next week.

Also, AnimaxUK has nabbed Tokyo Ghoul and Terror in Resonance too, though they are still a ways behind the current streams.

Anime Limited are looking to get their simulcast streams on as many sites as possible, Terror in Resonance and Tokyo Ghoul are still on Wakanim for free too.

G.J. · 08-08-2014 10:09pm

Zankyou no Terror/Terror in Resonance is really worth picking up for anyone who isn't watching it, it's looking to be the best series of this season.

Also, anyone looking for a good comedy, you should pick up Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. It's another one of my favourites this season.

I love koroko no baske, I am tired of waiting for the next season.

Gunmonkey · 20-08-2014 11:34am

Just watched Evangelion for the 1st last week, it was...something...alright. I guess its impact would be a bit lessened after so long and the anime industry has changed a lot since when it first aired.

Tar.Aldarion · 20-08-2014 11:42am

Started watching sword art online and watched 7 eps in one sitting so far, love it! Even though it gets some bad press I'm loving the whole idea.

IHeartYuki · 20-08-2014 9:59pm

I just finished Hanamonogatari. I love this series so much! I love these stories that are mostly dialogue yet accompanied by some of the most striking visuals in anime. This part of the Monogatari series lives up to the name and really gives you a story worth following. It reminded me a lot of the Hitagi Crab arc of Bakemonogatari. Anyway, if you're into SHAFT's production of these stories you should check it out.

Oooh thanks for reminding about Hanamonogatari - totally forgot it had aired!

I loved SAO too. It's one of those really popular series though that attracts a lot of criticism as a result. The 2nd arc of the 1st series really is disappointing in comparison to the 1st arc though. Luckily, GGO (1st arc of the currently airing 2nd series) is a more a return to form imo anyway!

Tar.Aldarion · 20-08-2014 11:22pm

I actually came on to say "why you heff to do this second half of season!" (Yes I'm binge watching)
But I still love it so much, the concept is really well done.

The first episode I watched was ep 1 from season 2 by accident

Been recommended accel world and log horizon now.

Numina · 21-08-2014 12:28pm

Picked up Vol 12 of Yotsuba from forbidden planet. So excites. Yotsuba is pretty much one of my favourites when it comes to animu and mango, it is absolutely hilarious, like every couple of pages has me laughing.

I love it too. It's so sweet and Yotsuba is so INTENSE about everything :P

Ah, I'm still strugging to read through the first few pages of Yotsoba

I am trying to read it in the original language though :pac:

Liam McPoyle · 22-08-2014 7:43pm

Currently watching Urotsukidoji : Legend of the Overfiend -The Perfect Collection.

Had only ever seen the censored version up til now, tis easy to see why it was cut to ribbons.

Stick with it! There's a fair amount of visual humour so it's a good one to work on.

GinoS · 28-08-2014 9:27am

Still really into Zankyou and Space Dandy. Luckily Tokyo Ghoul has picked up in recent eps too!

Is it just me who feels that ZnT has dropped the ball a bit since Five was introduced? It's still good, just not as good as it was.

No, your not alone. Lots of folks dont like the direction its taken. Thought it would be 9 and 12 vs the detective as he tries to find a solve the riddles while grasping one clue or scrap of evidence to pin them.

Now its just a less macabre Deathnote.
