Unrelated to current discussion:
I just finished watching Soul Eater, which in my opinion was awesome. Read or Die is next on my list.

Also Higurashi was amazing if I recall it right, and as a random addition Welcome to the NHK is also one of my favorites.

[jinzo64]

read or die is awsome.
i realy liked soul eater but was dissapointed by the ending of the final fight

[Backmask]

Already seen it. :P

How about G-Taste?

[SplitReality]

Yea that ending left a lot to be desired, but I suppose it balances out given that the rest of the anime was epic.

[jinzo64]

it could have been an epic ending.
but it was weak.
a lot like bleach,naruto and dbz.

[LawRayLiet]

I think they ended it before the manga was finished, so of course the ending sucked.
But I sill really like Soul Eater.

[Backmask]

I liked Soul Eater's Tim Burton-like art, but I didn't like the plot to it. The characters were decent though, with the exception of that star, ninja kid.

[jinzo64]

you mean naruto
i like tsubaki i felt sorry that she chose to be with naruto

[SplitReality]

I found Black Star to be a decent comic relief at times. He was so full of himself yet noble that despite how annoying it could make him the character grew on me after a while. Tsubaki was definately one of my most loved characters in that anime but I have a hard time choosing one specifically above all others.

Edit: Oh wait. Stein.

This.

[vejtornado]

Just started watching Full Metal Panic and are loving it. Will be going back to finish Mobile Fighter G Gundam after it.

[jinzo64]

decided to watch burst angel.

[SarcotarascusN]

read or die is awsome.


Seconded. :)

And as for Soul Eater, better they end it that have it grow stale with old age. The people who made DBZ and Naruto have not been smart about that, and it sounds like they at least tried with Soul Eater.

[stinkyfranki]

Nevermind. Gantz sucked. But now I'm watching Otogi Zoshi. It's very typical action adventure. But you know what? that's exactly what I need right now. I'm really sick of all the high adrenaline, trying to be funny, school girl shows. especially since I never liked them in the first place.

[Kaiju]

I'm currently waiting for the Higurashi Kira OVA 1 to come out. I liked the mystery, horror and drama of the original Higurashi, however if there is one thing Studio Deen can get right it's comedy, especially the comedy included in the original sound novels.
Also the next three OVA's feature a mix of Higurashi inspired by...Puella Magi Madoka Magica. (If you guys find a eng sub of it, let me know)

Crossing Magical Girls with Higurashi is a horrible idea, however its featuring heavy Madoka Magica influences...so I'll keep my fingers crossed for something crazy awesome... or gut wrenching.

[abyssion1337]

I'm watching Durarara again because I found a torrent with dual audio

[Fishfreeek]

are the dubs any good?
though I hate dubs Durarara is an awesome anime and I would like to share it with some of my non-otaku friends

[Backmask]

I haven't watched much of the dub, but from what I saw it looked decent.

[abyssion1337]

The Dub is good, not quite as good as Baccano's but aside from the fact that Mikado and Miaomi are voiced by some small time guys (though not bad by any means) the cast is good, Steve Blum, Johnny Yong Bosch, Crispin Freeman, Kari Wahlgren, Yuri Lowenthol, Patrick Seitz (he's been in a lot though you might not recognize him because he's just a bit part demon, though he is one of my favorite Monster characters) and David Vincent and Mela Lee who have done some decent roles and I just happen to recognize them both from Blazblue, Bleach and Fate/Stay Night though they really are small time.

[animemental1]

Finished Madoka. I really liked it a lot. Next, finishing High School of the Dead.

[bloodlover1987]

Halfway done with claymore

[abyssion1337]

aww no one wanted to talk about voice actors with me

[JinVicious]

Still chipping away at:

Ranma 1/2
Great Teacher Onizuka
Tenchi Muyo

Been so busy I haven't had much time to watch anime.

[bloodlover1987]

Hey id be happy to chat with ya about voice actors when I get back on my home pc.. Dang Zune

[JinVicious]

I chat about voice actors all the time, since excluding Fist of the North Star (Cause it was never completely dubbed) I ONLY watch dubbed anime.

YES, I've heard a lot of awful dubbing, but I speak English at least so that takes priority for me. Though I do wanna learn Japanese someday along with a lot of other stuff.

[stinkyfranki]

I've been wanting to watch Ef - a tale of memories ever since I saw it in an amv at tekko. And it's been on my computer for a few months now. I just never took the initiative to watch it. So I finally watched it all today and i'm not sure how i feel about it. It was certainly interesting and it's given me something to think about... but anyways, now i really feel like watching something else. So i probably go buy some mountain dew, a bag of chips, and stay up all night. :D try and cut into this anime folder of mine.

[SarcotarascusN]

Saw Cat **** One. Entertaining, and cool, but meh...I need more spark than I got from this.

[animemental1]

Bored. What should I do?

-Start Shakugan no Shana
-Start Bakemonogatari
-Start Full Metal Panic
-Start Chaos;Head/Steins;Gate
-Start Nichijou
-Continue watching Angel Beats
-Continue watching Durarara
-Finish High School of the Dead

[Tazuto]

that cant be all the anime you've watched... there is only 19 with done on them..

yea trying to remember some that i already seen but didnt put on the list

[JinVicious]

I've only seen maybe 3-4 on that list Taz, I need to watch more Anime.

[Zetsubou-Chan]

I've seen seven from that list

[Fishfreeek]

and i have seen 23, although not every episode of some of those

and to contribute to the thread; the most recent anime I watched was Kaiji

[jinzo64]

i'm kinda watching burst angel.

[abyssion1337]

Burst angel was kinda bad

[LOLWTFBBQ]

downloading HOTD again, this time dubbed. damn I still need to finish Clannad AS dubbed as well, but alas, Dexter has stolen my interrest

[bloodlover1987]

haven't seen the dub yet is it a good dub..?

[Backmask]

haven't seen the dub yet is it a good dub..?

Yeah. I like it better than the original.
"She said she lives here with a friend, right? Who is she? Sarah ****in' Palin?"

[bloodlover1987]

xD

[jinzo64]

started watching deathnote again.
think i'll try with burst angel again

[nipple]

Tekkon Kinkreet, watched it today's morning. The only anime I've had in 5 months (checked MAL).

[animemental1]

Angel Beats, Durarara, & Shana.

I like Angel Beats. Mainly because it's different from other Key anime.

Kanon: Guy growing up/living in quiet town & attending high school with friends.
Clannad: Same thing.
Air: SAME THING.
Angel Beats: Group of dead high school students rebelling against God with heavy weaponry & firepower.

Plus GDM's a nice bonus to the story, considering I am an audiophile.

Durarara feels a bit like Clannad. But more violence & cursing. =D

I have yet to look at Shana.

[jinzo64]

oh i might look in to that one.
sounds interesting

[XxFabiGBxX]

Rewatching Evangelion

[JinVicious]

Started back up on Ranma 1/2

Need to get back to Tenchi Muyo and Great Teacher Onizuka.

Also watching Sengoku Basara, only the 2nd anime I've ever watched in Japanese.

[abyssion1337]

Steins; Gate, almost over sadly

Almost done with Eden of the East

[Gleeman]

Just finished Denno Coil/Cyber Coil. Top 5 anime I've ever seen, hands down. Can't understand why it hasn't been licensed yet. :praise:
And an extra thumb up for being a show mainly about middle school age girls, but not having any fan service...I'm looking at you, Railgun.

Also finished The World God Only Knows, King of Eden, and Spice & Wolf 2. Yay more Holo! :sweatdrop:

Currently: Squid Girl, My Ordinary Life, plan on starting SteinsGate soon.

[stinkyfranki]

if you're sick of the same old stuff. Then you probably shouldn't waist your time on Shana. It's a very typical anime.

I just finished Ga Rei Zero. It seemed very ordinary, but it had some elements that I'd never seen before. Plus some of the weapons were really interesting and generated cool fights. I also saw Deadman Wonderland not too long ago, which was another one of those shows that I thought was going to be AWESOME. However it ultimately just ended up pissing me off.

[thedarkmessenger]

Still watching Clannad xP. I've been watching anime less and less lately D:

[Distict5-9]

Currently watching Bakemonogatari, using the pause button as I never have before in a desperate attempt to follow the never-ending lines of dialogue that flow before my eyes...

[Gleeman]

Still watching Clannad xP. I've been watching anime less and less lately D:

Started watching that, but lost interest after Fuko's arc.

Having a hard time getting through the game also, just too much generic moe for me I guess....

[LiefFirewind]

Well for me

Now: Watching the rest of Death Note and Ao No Exorcist
Before: Excel Saga, Clannad, Deadman Wonderland, .Hack Sign etc.
Later: Not sure yet

I can suggest Anime to anyone but it depends on there taste I watch to much of it already so many good ones out there.

[LiefFirewind]

Actually DRRR reminds me of Death Note in some ways but that's just me.

[XxFabiGBxX]

I've been watching anime less and less lately D:

Me too =/

[Kaiju]

Currently Watching: FMA Brotherhood (dub), and K-ON!! (sub)

[Ruby150]

I'm probably going to be watching Demon King Daimou's English Dub, since I found out who's in it

[jinzo64]

watching kiddy grade

[stinkyfranki]

well i've got about 15 or so shows, movies, ovas and whatnot to finish in the next two weeks before i move to colorado. but i have faith that i can get it done

[jinzo64]

i'm watching girls bravo.

[SarcotarascusN]

Spice and Wolf, Bokurano, Clannad: After Story, Ouran, and Mushi-Shi (which I just started). I'm happy with all of them; I'll be done with Bokurano and Spice and Wolf pretty soon, and I may start Princess Tutu or Utena after that. I'm also planning to watch Excel Saga pretty soon.

[thedarkmessenger]

Yu-Gi-Oh! (still) Clannad (still :P) and Strike Witches. I'm almost done with Clannad and Strike witches. Just got a few more episodes to go on both.

[SplitReality]

Gosick. Victorica reminds me of Shinku.

[Backmask]

Yu-Gi-Oh! (still) Clannad (still :P) and Strike Witches. I'm almost done with Clannad and Strike witches. Just got a few more episodes to go on both.

How long have you been marathoning Yu-Gi-Oh?

[Shibbidah]

Just finished Angel Beats in one sitting. Gonna continue Nichijou.

[abyssion1337]

luckily I'm almost done with most the stuff I'm watching, sill making very very sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooow progress though Monster. Which I really like I don't know why I'm taking it so slow.

[SplitReality]

^ Reminds me I need to finish Monster, I think I only watched the first few episodes before getting distracted. Seemed interesting.

[stinkyfranki]

Finally got to see Redline. And that movie was basically Dead Leaves with cars. There was a part where the main character uses his nitro to spin his car like a top and skip across a body of water. I **** my pants when that happened. Definitely the coolest thing I've seen all year.

[jinzo64]

watching pokemon shinou league victors and bleach.

[stinkyfranki]

Woot! After six months i have finally finished His and Her Circumstances! I watched 8 episode sometime ago and it's been sitting on my computer ever since. I did the same thing with s-Cry-ed. So I still have to finish that. Plus I'm still halfway through Peacemaker. I'll probably watch more of Arc the Lad next. I think I'm going to put off the rest of G Gundam and Zoids till next year, because they're just too long and too uninteresting. I started Night Raid 1931 with my dad last night. And that was decent. I dropped Kannagi because it was boring and very typical. And one of these nights here I'm going to try and do an all-nighter with Dennou Coil. I gotta at least do one more before I move to Colorado. And... everything else on my computer... I'm not sure. I'll most likely end up deleting it. Oh, and the first episode of the Air Gear OVA was sorta lame.

[Kaiju]

Just finished the dub of FMA brotherhood, and Excel Saga.

[jeremyhac]

Fairy Tail...it's turning out better than I thought.

[thedarkmessenger]

Finally finished Strike Witches. Now to finish Clannad and move on to Strike Witches 2...if I can find it...

[abyssion1337]

how is G Gundam uninteresting, it's amazingly awesome

[Veran]

Naru taru.

It starts off like some really calm version of pokemon, then quickly turns into something else entirely.

It's like pokemon, where the pokemon kill people.

[Distict5-9]

^ I know how you feel...


Just finished watching Narutaru...
All I can say is that I'm not sure wether I've been on acid for the last 7 days or that the show is simply mother-f*ckering out of its mind... I don't think I'll ever be able to trust the first episode of a series anymore after this...


I don't know you, but I found very disturbing...
Mainly the abnormal contrast and sarcasm the entire show gave an excellent contribution to most of the show's general mindf*ck...;
The eerily sarcastic pastel drawn opening... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIF5BLyh3Mk&NR=1) in contrast to the incredibly high general body count within the show.
Also, the eerily quirky dragonets in general (the entire cute flower-looking dragonet impaling people scene...) and the way the season switched to a completely different genre in a matter of a few episodes (not that the series was particularly long...).

Oh, and how could I possibly forget the probably weirdest scene of the entire show...
Warning, spoilers ahoy! -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfSi_MchwTs
(More of a sexual reference of some kind than anything else...)

[Veran]

Heh. Brought to you by the same guys that made Bokurano.
Never did see the entire series of that. Had the best intro song ever.

[abyssion1337]

yay dual audio bluray rips of soul eater on nyaa

[thedarkmessenger]

^I got that a looooong time ago :P Think it was a different site, though.

*edit* nvm. It'd DVD quality :|. *goes off to get blu-ray rip*

[abyssion1337]

too bad it's only 720p and not 1080 but that's good enough I guess

[Backmask]

too bad it's only 720p and not 1080 but that's good enough I guess

You could wait for THORAnime to upload the Soul Eater Blura-- Oh wait! Soul Eater would have to win the poll on THORAnime's website! Other contenders are Valkyria Chronicles and...Legend of the Mother****ing, Bitch Banging Galactic Ballin' Heroes! Let's look at how well this turned out for Soul Eater.
http://i.imgur.com/s0XSY.png
Well, looks like the superior show is winning.

[abyssion1337]

oh there's a Valkyria Chronicles animu, cool

[SarcotarascusN]

Heh. Brought to you by the same guys that made Bokurano.
Never did see the entire series of that. Had the best intro song ever.

It's one of my favorite shows, but it's tough to watch. Simply put, it displays suffering on a horrific scale that no other anime I've seen has achieved. It's neither gory nor filled with strange sex (it's hardly a hentai title), but...well, you'll find out when you reach a certain point.

With all that said, it was one of the most addictive shows I'd watched (it did lose a little steam near the end), one of the most ambitious, and very clever at twisting its plot. I usually don't care for ensemble-casts, but this show uses its cast very well, and it even puts the least interesting characters to good uses. And there is a lot of warmth underneath and permeated throughout the suffering.

If you can stomach it, I'd highly recommend it, but only if balanced with something light-hearted and humorous on the side.

[Veran]

I'll have to pick that show up again from where I left off. It was good.

But you know, it's a giant robot show. Those tend to be character driven. I have as of yet only seen one hentai flick - urutsukidojin. Because it's a classic. Never bothered seeking anything else out.

Violence is not a bother. The more the better. Or something like that. I watched Elfen Lied balanced out with Gantz. Then I found comedy goldmine... I mean MariMite. Different stuff, that.

[stinkyfranki]

anyone know a good torrent or streaming site for Dennou Coil? I already downloaded it before but the subs have soooo many ****ing notes that it makes it impossible to read. It's like, I don't ****ing care whether it's exactly correct! give me your best guess and stop filling the screen with words!

[Veran]

animefreak.tv - maybe?

[stinkyfranki]

that might work. I'll have to check it out

[abyssion1337]

I hate it when translators do that, if you need to make a note just make it (like explaining pun that doesn't work in English)

as for torrenting, BakaBT; sorry you can't stream this one though, never got licensed

[SarcotarascusN]

I hate it when translators do that, if you need to make a note just make it (like explaining pun that doesn't work in English)


I do appreciate it when they make note of the little things that get lost in culture shock or translation. (for example, when a show makes references to other anime, uses a change in honorifics for dramatic effect, or employs wordplay in the Japanese language for comic effect). If they feel like they have to explain everything, though, you might as well just watch director's commentary.

Admittedly, I also like to avoid shows that over-rely on pop culture references, but I've noticed much less of this in anime than in American television, which is nice (and another thing that makes me enjoy anime a little more).

[abyssion1337]

Actually anime does it just as much, it's just harder to notice, for example watch Zetsubou Sensei, so man references

[vejtornado]

Inazuma Eleven

[abyssion1337]

So I like the dub cast for Soul Eater, EXCEPT BLACK STAR, it's like she's no even trying to sound like a boy

[SarcotarascusN]

Actually anime does it just as much, it's just harder to notice, for example watch Zetsubou Sensei, so man references

I'm just started that, and all I've caught so far are a bunch of Evangelion references (the girl with the eyepatch who talks like Rei, and the very, very Evangelionesque train shots in the ED).

[stinkyfranki]

So I like the dub cast for Soul Eater, EXCEPT BLACK STAR, it's like she's no even trying to sound like a boy
hahaha, you know when i saw a preview of soul eater i thought Black Star was going to be all manly. so when i heard Brittney Karbowski doing his voice i was astonished, but my friend assured me that it fit his character. and sure enough, I thought she did a very good job with him. She sort of has a raspy sound to her voice that i feel makes her sounds somewhat more manlike. and it's pretty accepted to have women voice little boys. Like how, Luci Christian always does all the young boys. i can understand your quarrel with it, but i believe they fit well together.

[abyssion1337]

Well no **** girls voice little boys, that's not what I'm complaining about, I'm complaining that she does it poorly. Though now that I've gotten much further in the series, she's adjusted her technique and is beginning to sound more like a boy

[jinzo64]

Like how, Luci Christian always does all the young boys.
Oh Realy

[stinkyfranki]

Well no **** girls voice little boys, that's not what I'm complaining about, I'm complaining that she does it poorly. Though now that I've gotten much further in the series, she's adjusted her technique and is beginning to sound more like a boy
*shrugs* oh well

[abyssion1337]

Seriously watch that first episode with Black Star then watch an episode featuring him from later in the series, I get the feeling that initially she didn't realize that she had to put working into sounding like a boy (something Luci Christian actually puts a lot of work into) but I get the feeling the directer talked to her about it and she got it to work.

[thedarkmessenger]

Just finished Clannad. Probably watch a couple other series before moving on to After Story.

[jinzo64]

still watching bleach up to episode 339

[Backmask]

Got done with the last episode of Steins;Gate and I was not disappointed.
Dat Hououin Kyouma
Dat Badass Okabe
Dem last five minutes
Dat everything

[bloodlover1987]

iv been lazy i need to start a new one

[jinzo64]

you should try girls bravo
thats another anime i'm watching at the moment

[abyssion1337]

Only slightly more than a week till squid girl's second season

[jinzo64]

i still need to the first season of that

[thedarkmessenger]

Decided to finish watching When They Cry. Also still working on Yu-Gi-Oh! I'm almost done with the 3rd season.

[jinzo64]

the origional yugioh or gx or perhaps 5D's

[abyssion1337]

I know what the 'G' stanks for i yugioh GX: Don't watch it

[Veran]

Finished Naru Taru.

Things get violent in the last couple episodes. Also, for some reason the song "Hard Rock Halleluja" kept coming to mind.

[jinzo64]

still watching bleach now up to episode 340

[abyssion1337]

I quit and just read the manga

also should I watch S&W season 2?

[Guthix]

oni tenshi....

[jinzo64]

full metal alchemist brotherhood volume 5

[thedarkmessenger]

Decided to stall When They Cry (again) and finish watching Yu-Gi-Oh! I'm a few episodes into season 4 now (my favorite season! yay!)

[jinzo64]

season 4 was the waking the dragons arc but wasn't that filler?

[thedarkmessenger]

^I don't care if it IS filler. It's awesome nonetheless. Doesn't seem like filler to me. Now, that random crap that lasted only a few episodes (forgot what happened. something to do with Kaibaland, I think), that was filler

[jinzo64]

lets see for yugioh
theres season 1 duelist kingdom
season 2 was battle city
season 3 had the filler where they went to the virtual world with noah and thee final battles of battle city
season 4 is waking the dragons
season 5 was the grand championship which is also filler
season 6 the final season known as dawn of the duel

[thedarkmessenger]

^there is no season 6 :O season 5 and 6 are together. (according to Hulu, anyway)

[jinzo64]

in that case the grand festival seems more like part of season 4 becasue they tie together so well

[thedarkmessenger]

Well according to hulu, season 4 is JUST the dragons arc. Hulu could be wrong, though.

[jinzo64]

that does seem right
i also fought waking the dragons,the grand festival and dawn of the duel were all individual arcs.

[thedarkmessenger]

They are individual arcs.

[jinzo64]

but i guess that doesn't mean individual seasons
so theres either 5 or 6 seaons
but we agree there are 6 arcs.

[thedarkmessenger]

The grand festival arc was too short to be it's own season. I guess that's why they put it in with dawn of the duel.

[jinzo64]

thats true but
on that note i've got full animes that are shorter than this arc
like gun smith cats 3 episdoes and strawberry marshellow 12 episodes

[Haar]

I'm surprised you people don't use this thread more often. So what are you guys watching? I'm currently in the process of watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Detonator Orgun, but I'm pretty sure I already told you all about that. Might start watching Crest of the Stars soon.

[ThatsNotMyName_studio]

I'm a few episodes in on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

[thedarkmessenger]

Blood-C and 11eyes. Just got a couple episodes left on both. Oh, and Cat Planet Cuties (I freakin' hate that title). Almost done with that anime, too. Finally finished Yu-Gi-Oh!. Now I'm trying to decide if I wanna move on to GX or skip GX and go straight to 5Ds

[Haar]

I recommend skipping GX in favor of 5D's, but I don't think that GX was all that bad. It did take a while for it to get good, however.

[Arock]

all right drop me a beat

Berserk

[HeyHeyHeyStayOuttaMyShed]

Been meaning to watch that Meria Nikki one...It's been a couple months lol D< Haven't watched an anime since me and Mad marathoned Kodomo no Jikan

[thedarkmessenger]

I'm probably gonna watch Mirai Nikki myself after I finish the 3 I'm currently watching :P

[Arock]

mirai nikki is good till around ep 18 or so when they just start pull **** out of their ass making for a terrible ending

[thedarkmessenger]

Just finished Blood-C. Now to wait until the movie releases on Blu-ray :|

[Backmask]

mirai nikki is good till around ep 18 or so when they just start pull **** out of their ass making for a terrible ending

Actually, Mirai Nikki started the asspulls around episode three or four.

[Haar]

Just finished the first season of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I might take a little break before starting season 2, due to me not wanting to get sucked into it just yet. If season 2 is anything like season 1, I won't probably be able to watch any other show while I'm watching it.

I'll probably get back to finishing Genmu Senki Leda, now. Not sure how I'll end up feeling about this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In7ZJhitqaU

[hosokawa37]

I'm watching Kokoro Connect, Tari Tari, Ika Musume s2, Hidamari Sketch s3, and Nazo no Kanojo X

[abyssion1337]

I've mostly fallen out of watching anime, I am really enjoying Kaiba and Hyouka and will jump right back into them soon.

[Haar]

At the suggestion of Backmask, I've started reading The Five Star Stories. Seems good so far.

EDIT: I'm probably going to watch Odin: Starlight Mutiny later today.

[xIsamuTM]

rewatching higurashi for some reason. oh yeah, needed a break from back-to-backing dr who.

[SarcotarascusN]

Completed:

Angel Beats (Enjoyable enough but very cliched, too much and too obvious pandering to otaku, and nonsensical plot)
The Flower We Saw on That Day (Cathartic and Endearing...But You'll Go Crazy Trying to Justify the Mechanism of Menma's Existence)
Blue Seed (Wasted potential, wasted characters)
Bakemonogatari (Conceited nonsense with some witty parts and some very interesting art)
Futakoi [Both] (Original is stupid, Alternative is Hilarious)
Eden of the Eat (Ending is inconclusive but show is enjoyable)
Kure-Nai (Awesome)
Mushi-Shi (Liked most of it and enjoyed Ginko's character)
Rumbling Hearts (Infuriating, everybody besides Hayase is brainless)
Toradora (Good but ends horribly)

[Ruby150]

I feel like going back and watching Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari

[Haar]

Genmu Senki Leda ended up being mediocre... Not enough fightan. I did sort of like that the variety of the battles present, though. There was a sword fight, an archaic dogfight, and an archaic mecha fight. Too bad those were short and infrequent.

Also finished up the first chapter of Franken Fran. It was much better than I thought it would be.

[jinzo64]

I'm watching the fan service anime known as High School Of The Dead.
It's a lot better than I expected it to be.

[Haar]

^I thought Highschool of the Dead was OK. I really didn't like the OVA, though. Nothing plot-relevant happened in it at all.

At the moment, I'm reading Zetman. Those chapters are sort of short. I don't see how anyone could've waited to read all of that during the initial publishing. I also picked up Kamen Rider Spirits. It's... interesting, to say the least.

A guy suggested I watch Terra E, so I might look into that soon. Of course, I've still got quite a few other shows to finish. (Kaiji, Flag, et cetera.) Maybe I'll just watch the movie first, rather than the series.

[thedarkmessenger]

Finished 11eyes. The ending was a bit of a disappointment (the final battle didn't last long enough, and there wasn't enough fighting), but overall I enjoyed it. Probably my 2nd fave anime at this point. I hope (and doubt) there'll be a second season :O

[Haar]

Tried watching Glass Fleet. I was a bit confused as to why they used gunpowder weapons in space. Not to mention the show just didn't seem incredibly interesting, despite the cover making it look so cool. Not going to drop it just yet, but it's definitely on hold for now.

[ThatsNotMyName_studio]

Well, let's see....
Finished Haruri Suzumiya (insert song: "keep me hanging on" here)
Loved it

Tried Lucky*Star...
An entire episode for which end is the top of a chocolate cornello? Really?
Does it get better?

Abenobashi Arcade
about 4 eps in but the streaming sites are getting more laggy and broken links as I go
Slow to start, but it does pick up. like so far.

Still looking for more...

Try torrenting it. (http://bakabt.me/148968-abenobashi-mahou-shotengai-magical-shopping-arcade-abenobashi-e-d.html)

I started watching Detonator Orgun. Looks promising so far. I also got back into watching Basquash. Still not at the crappy part I've heard about, so I'm enjoying it.

[glory of llama]

I finally took Haar's advice and torrented instead of streaming, watching episode 9 of Kokoro Connect. Im starting to doubt it will go past 11/12 episodes. Well I'd started doubting at episode 8, but this one didn't help. It's a little too slow and calm.

Watched koe de oshigoto, which was hilarious but so so wrong. A family eroge business where the mom seemingly accidentally guilt-tripped her 16 year old daughter into doing voice work for? That's hilarious but so ridiculous lol.

[Neomalysys]

After finally watching Puella Magi I'm thinking of finishing either HOTD or Sailor Moon Sailor Stars. But my list is so backed up right now from work and having to re-download a few hundred gigs of anime I'm not sure.

[Gleeman]

Simulcast: Kokoro Connect, Sword Art Online, Sket Dance, Poyopoyo.
To watch: Kids on the Slope, Natsuyuki Rendezvous, Is this a Zombie 2.

Netflix: The Slayers. (not bad for old school)

Vomit inducing and dropped halfway through first episode: Humanity has Declined.

[thedarkmessenger]

started watching Mirai Nikki. Kinda stalled it, though. Mostly because I'm waiting for a finished 1080p version.



Tried Lucky*Star...

.

Personally, I think Lucky Star DOES get better after the first episode. Albeit, not by much.

[AKALink]

after much delay I've started to watch Kokoro Connect. I'm am not disappointed. Honestly this is one of those shows I had know idea it was about before starting to watch it. I thought it would only be a slice of life of love moe harem show. Many years ago I watched Haruhi Suzumiya without knowing what the show was about, I thought it was a moe slice of life show, I was only part wrong.

I did one episode of Puella Magi, HOTD is pretty front-loaded for story so depending on how far you got, you may not be missing much, imo.

Oh and I may try Lucky Star one more time...just to make sure

I've deleted all of the HD episodes of ongoing shounen anime off my hard drive... this much extra space for more anime... it's so beautiful... they should have sent a poet.

Why would you be watching those in the first place?

[Neomalysys]

The real question is why would you download them. It's easier to stream them or wait for it to be officially released outside of Japan due to the high filler content.

[Haar]

^Well...

Don't watch Sore Dart Line. The adaptation is pretty bad; however, the light novels are not any better. Now, you'd have to be retarded if you actually think/ have thought SAO was going to be good seeing as the author was about fifteen or so when he wrote it.

I had watched the first episode when it was first subbed, mostly because I had no idea what it was and hadn't heard anything about it. I wasn't too impressed by what I saw, which is why I haven't been downloading new episodes. I hear they're at the end of an arc now though, so the completionist side of me wants to download the rest and watch, since I already started.

[Haar]

Isn't it like some .Hack fanfiction or something?

Kinda. It's like .Hack//Sign, except everyone's permanently locked into the game world, as opposed to just that kid who's name I forget. It's basically a fantasy anime with some MMO-styles to it.

Actually, it is what inspired .Hack; however, Gary Stu Online never got an "official" release so to speak until aroudn 2008-ish. It first started when it was written for some writing competition, then the author continued it as an online novel. After the author made Accel World, he asked if the publishers could also publish Fanfic Circlejerk Online, which they agreed to.

watching way too much anime right now. list includes:
Dog Days Season 2, Rinne no Lagrange Season 2, SAO, Chitose Got You, Humanity Has Declined, Arcana Famiglia, Muv Love Alternative: Total Eclipse, Campione, Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai, Hagure Yuusha no Estetica, Clannad, Inazuma Eleven Go, Full Metal Panis, Rosario Vampire, *Deep Breathe* Cardfight Vanguard Season 2, and others that i have watched that get released every week.

But seriously, I don't get the hate for SAO. Not the best anime in history by any means, but the only one this season other than Kokoro Connect I've had any desire to keep up with and the animation quality is pretty good. Does have kind of an episodic vibe, if you don't like that kind of thing.

Didn't know the history of it either and never saw ./Hack, just started watching when SAO showed up on the 'site that shall not be named'.

[Backmask]

But seriously, I don't get the hate for SAO.

Really? You can't fathom why people despise Sweet Ass Online? What is there to not understand? A main character who has a plethora of "unique abilities" and frequently solves everybody's problems in a matter of seconds with a story that is written around him, which only makes the story incredibly abysmal, antagonists who are about as creative as James Cameron, drama that is forced harder than Madoka and Clannad's, characters that are about as interesting as SEED Destiny's story. Dare I go on? The only good thing to come of Glopping Vaginal-Hair-Rendering Online was chapter 16.5, which was more awkward than a Type-Moon sex scene and has twice the amount of exposition. It should also be noted that the adaptation completely left out some important details, while leaving in some incredibly minor ones.

[vejtornado]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion on SAO. my opinion is a like it, not great but watchable.

[Luppi-tan]

I've never heard of SAO. Is it really that bad? I shall have to watch it sometime to form my own opinion. I am watching A-Channel right now. It's pretty good, though it seems a lot along the same lines as Azumanga Daioh, almost as though they were written from the same outline with deliberate mistakes in one or the other.

[Backmask]

Is it really that bad?
Well, virgins in charge of writing porn. Sadly, this is the highlightof the series, and yes, it is ****ing canonical.

Asuna plopped down naked on the sofa and glared defiantly at me.

"...Kirito, hurry up and take your clothes off," she said in an authoritative tone.

"What...w-we're continuing?"

"It would be stupid if we stopped here!!"

I hurriedly complied. Opening the window indicated by Asuna, I toggled off the option buried deep within the menu.

Because of the hurried start, there was no romantic mood to speak of. Sitting on the bed which was slightly too small for the two of us, we slowly did as much as the system would allow.

The dim blue moonlight filtered through the window, casting complex shadows on the bed.

Since Salemburg has no marketplace, the townspeople disappear at night. The only thing that I could hear was the faint whispering of the lake, and my alarm-like heartbeat which seems to echo around the room.

By this time, Asuna and I had removed all of our clothing. We had been kneeling on the bed in front of one another for about 2 and a half minutes. I couldn't read Asuna's expression as she balled up her fists on her knees and looked down. I thought that I should probably be the one to take the first action in this situation, but not being able to predict the outcomes of any of my choices, I sat in petrified silence. I considered what would happen if I were to yell out, "Sorry!" and re-equipped minimal clothing at mach speed before escaping out of the room. Would she say, "I guess it can't be helped~" and forgive me when we meet again tomorrow? ―There's no way she would.

Remembering back to the distant past, I was only 14 the first time that I ever logged into SAO. The winter of 8th grade. I don't want to really recall how I was at that time, but I sacrificed all of the sexual energy that starts to awaken in all boys around that age in order to immerse myself into games. As a result, I had never been in a situation where I would be alone with a girl in her room. Obviously, I had also never been naked with a girl before.

To tell the truth, I would have liked for Asuna, who I thought was probably a few years older than me (and thus had expertise in this area) to take the lead. However, it seemed that everyone in SAO, including her, viewed me as being older than I really was. Since I had never denied any of it, there's no way that I could say to her in this situation, "Sorry, but I'm actually..."

I strengthened my resolve. Even if I didn't have the knowledge or the experience, I had never loved or had felt such intense feelings for someone like I have for Asuna.

Ever since SAO started, there were numerous times when I was in a situation where I told myself, "You can't run away from here no matter what," but here I had to muster up greater willpower than that as I extended my right hand and moved my body forward.

My fingertip softly touched the gentle curve that was Asuna's shoulder. Her body quivered sharply. I slowly traced a path from the line of her collarbone to the nape of her neck.

"N...mm..."

Asuna let out a soft moan as her eyes closed. The blood rushed to her cheeks and her eyebrows furrowed.

For some time I watched Asuna's responses in secret delight as I touched her all over the place. Slightly excited by her fresh reactions, I went a bit overboard as I kept my fingertip at a point where I was just barely touching her and continued to slowly glide smoothly across her skin. I crawled down her arms which were firmly hiding both breasts, circled around her stomach and reversed direction up her arms again.

"Ah...oh...mm..."

Every time my finger moved, Asuna's body would shake and a soft moan would leak out. After caressing her entire body, I put my right hand's finger under her small chin and lifted her head up. With my left index finger, I diligently traced her wet, shining, cherry-colored lips.

"No...not just...your finger..."

A softly blushing Asuna opened her eyes slightly and looked at me pleadingly.

"Kiss...me..."

"..."

I silently moved my face closer. Asuna's lips parted slightly as if they could not wait any longer. But, instead of fastening our lips together, I softly poked her lower lip with the tip of my tongue.

"Mm..."

As if seeking me out, Asuna stuck out her tongue, but I restrained myself and moved to avoid her before softly touching her with the tip of my tongue.

"Ah, mm...ah..."

Asuna let out a irritated sound of both anticipation and need as I abruptly plunged my tongue into her mouth.

"Ah—mm!"

I violently swished my tongue around.

The tactile senses in SAO are, just like the sense of taste, pre-programmed and activated in accordance to the situation. When you consider this, then the only conclusion that one can draw is that the "feeling of a deep kiss" must have been programmed in. (Well, it's not like I've ever really experienced that in real life, but...) An indescribably bewitching feeling assaulted my nerves.

My tongue entwined Asuna's and I forcefully sucked on it as I felt all the strength go out of her body. Her eyes were moist and dim and she was breathing erratically as I took my tongue out of her mouth and then proceeded to lick down her neck, behind her ear and the hollow of her collar bone.

When I eventually reached the soft valleys that were the top of her breasts which had been hidden up until now, her whole body leapt and twitched. Her arms gripped tighter together and she shook her head from side to side.

"Asuna...move your arms..."

"B...But..."

"I want to see your breasts, Asuna."

I caught her wrists which were crossed together and pulled them apart as I slowly licked and sucked my way toward the peak of the white breast that was gradually being revealed.

"Ah... No..."

Asuna's arms were finally at her sides as her twin peaks were revealed to my eyes. The swells which were usually hidden by the loose fitting knight's clothing and breastplate were bigger than I had imagined; full and protruding sharply forward. At their tips were a pair of nipples which were difficult to distinguish from the surrounding area, standing impertinently in a cone-shaped form. Regrettably the entire room was currently bathed in the blue glow of the moonlight and —

"Asuna, turn on the light."

"What...no...don't—"

Having accepted the rejection of my request, I sucked her left nipple into my mouth.

"Ah!!"

Ignoring the shrill voice that Asuna let out at the sudden attack, I chewed on the hard nub with my lips as my tongue rolled around the stiff tip.

"Ahhh! Ah! No, no no...!"

I firmly held Asuna's right hand that tried to push me away as she cried out, while her body convulsed and moved my left hand to the other breast. I squeezed her peak between my fingers, then gently used the nail of my index finger to stimulate the tip of her nipple.

"Ah, Ahh, oh!!"

As I tortured both breasts, Asuna's convulsions and sweet cries rose in intensity. Going a bit overboard, I bit down on the protruding object in my mouth and somewhat violently began to chew on it, while at the same time the thumb and index finger of my left hand painfully twisted the other nipple.

"Oh!! Ah, ah, no, no way..."

Asuna's body suddenly stiffened. Her arms which now encircled the back of my head tightened their grip.

"No, no no, I'm, with just, my breast...! I'm...com..."

She was unable to speak after that. Letting out a hoarse, high pitched cry from the depths of her throat, Asuna twitched and her body jumped once before collapsing against me. She was still breathing heavily, her body intermittently convulsed slightly.

"Ah... ha... haa..."

"...Asuna...just now..."

"Ah...n-no...it's so embarrassing... I never had anything like that...happen until now..."

"...until now?"

"Ah..."

Asuna ducked her body and looked down in an embarrassed manner.

"I-It's nothing, nothing at all!"

"...tell me."

I moved my left hand over to Asuna's left breast as she leaned against me and grasped her nipple before pulling on it.

"Ahh... no, stop, no more with the breasts..."

"...what do you mean by until now?"

"Ahhh..."

Asuna spoke haltingly in a crying voice that was once again mixed with sweet moans.

"...about the <Ethic Code Off>... After I learned about it...I did it...a couple times, alone..."

"...what did you do...?"

"Auuu... While thinking...about Kirito...played with...my breasts and...down below..."

Talking about her own fantasies seemed to have increased Asuna's masochistic side. Her breathing was gradually becoming ragged as she clung to me.

"Down below...like around here...?"

I gently moved the hand that had been abusing her breast downward. I stroked her tense stomach, then ever so slowly moved in that direction. I went over the slight swell of her abdomen, and when my fingertips reached the entrance of the two mounds, Asuna gasped as her body shook.

"Ah... no..."

I used the index finger and middle finger of my left hand to stimulate the area around her vagina. While taking care not to touch the center, I enjoyed the sensation of squeezing the two mounds together, then pulling them apart. "Ah, ah, ha mmm...!"

Asuna knelt down, putting both of her arms around me and moaned while burying her face in my neck as my fingers moved about, causing her body to jump and twitch.

"Ah, mm...there...no..."

But that voice gradually became hoarse as she shook her head and wiggled her whole body.

"Ahh... That can't...can't..."

Thinking that I was teasing her too much, I gradually moved my middle finger towards the center.

"Mm...mm... Ahhh!!"

[Backmask]

This'll be a three part post.

As Asuna let out a remarkably loud cry, my finger was enveloped in a slimy sensation. That place was seemingly endless, so hot, moist, and indescribably soft that I involuntarily stirred it with two fingers.

"Ah!! No!! No!!"

Asuna cried out, and her body started to shake and jump. Without regard for that, I kneaded the little knob that was peeking out from the top of the slit with my thumb while spreading it open with two fingers.

"Ah... Haa... Ha..."

It appeared that Asuna could no longer speak as she dug her nails into my back and arched her back as far as she could.

"Ah, ha... No!! I can't take it any more!!"

But in another sense, I was also at my limit. I wanted to see every single part of Asuna so badly that I pushed her down onto the bed and grabbed her legs, spreading them apart.

"Eh... Eh...? Ah... Wha...!?"

Asuna came out of a hazy state and bucked her body to escape as she realized that she was in an extremely embarrassing position, but there was no way that I was going to loosen my grip now.

"Wha, Wha, Kirito, don't look so closely!!"

"Asuna..."

I raised my head and looked steadily into Asuna's eyes.

"...should we turn on the light?"

"No—!!"

Asuna forcefully rejected my suggestion as she shook her crimson red face. Giving up, I devoted myself to examining Asuna's hidden place.

The soft and fluffy pubes were pure white and smooth without a single hair growing there. This was, to say, rather than a preference of the developers, a limitation of the system itself. Hair-type objects are of the extremely heavy category. As a result, aside from hair on the head and beards, there was absolutely no hair anywhere on the bodies of the SAO players.

In between the two smooth mounds was a single slit, and further into that were light colored folds. From time to time a clear fluid dripped out and flowed towards Asuna's anus before turning into beads of light and disappearing.

Whether it was from embarrassment or loss of strength, Asuna had stopped struggling, so I took my hand off her right foot and slowly spread the slit open.

"Mhaa..."

Asuna's eyes turned vacant as she moaned softly. Inside the slit, compared to the information that I had received from the net in the real world, was an unusually simple design with (what I thought was) peach colored membrane spreading smoothly on the inside and bottom. The vaginal opening which tirelessly produced clear fluid was quietly throbbing, and in the upper part where the slit closed together a little protrusion peeked its head out.

Within SAO, the male players must have at least once or twice racked their brains in wondering what that part of the female players looked like, but I was experiencing a certain kind of emotion having just discovered the answer to this question.

Of course, in my own lower half there was also a certain thing, which, having swelled to its limits, was seeking release. But this was the first time since I had entered SAO that it had become like this.

There is a somewhat interesting story concerning all of this (I apologize for digressing, but)... When SAO was under development, the Argas company had an internal closed alpha test phase during which time they reasoned that since players would have no use for genitals, it would not be necessary to objectify it.

However, in reality they found that most of the male testers would experience a certain amount of severe anxiety. Even so, while there was no problem when playing for several hours. When they conducted consecutive tests over a 48 hour period, they found that most of the male testers who attended this trial period were unable to stand not having their genitals and gave up. So it was from the Beta testing phase that the genital parts were implemented out of a sense of necessity. It seems that this was also part of the reason why SAO players were not allowed to change their characters' genders.

However, even if you had your genital parts, the question that I had prior to the official start of the game (meaning, before the incident) was whether or not there would be anxiety over the lack of proper function. I myself had agonized repeatedly on multiple occasions over the inability to release my pent up energy, but now I saw that if the ethics code or whatever was disabled, then functionality, probably even ejaculation was possible.

While feeling like I had missed out on a lot by not knowing all of this until now. At this point though, I faced a new question.

Having the ethics code release function basically meant that online virtual sex had been planned with the release of the game. SAO had many underage players such as myself so, no matter how I thought about it, this function was sure to cause a lot of social outcry.

While teasing Asuna's cute slit with my fingertips, I raised my head and posed that very question to her.

"Ah... Haa... What...?"

Though she had a spaced out look in her silky eyes and her answer was punctuated by her heavy breathing, Asuna's serious disposition kicked in as she answered me.

"Ha... Th-That's... They planned to use SAO's...system in order to...provide a personal...sex service... We're probably linked with...that function...ahhh...ah..."

"I see... In other words, it's probably one of those delicate arrangements... Well, enough with the chit-chat..."

I used my left hand to open Asuna up as wide as possible.

"Ahh!!"

She wasn't immobilized anymore, but Asuna let out a sweet cry with both of her legs spread wide in the air. I brought my face close and gently pushed my tongue toward the little hole in the center.

"Haaaa!!"

Asuna shook her head from side to side as she cried out. I softly stimulated the entrance to that hole with my tongue as I pushed my finger in and out.

"Ah! No, not that—!!"

Every time Asuna convulsed, a large amount of fluid would make a sticky sound on my tongue as it leaked out of her vagina.

Having pushed my tongue into her hole and enjoyed the feeling of her constricting around me, I pushed myself up over Asuna. I was already swollen to my limit and felt like I would end up coming if I continued to explore Asuna's body anymore.

While softly playing with her pert nipple, I covered Asuna's lips with my own and softly whispered,

"Asuna...can I...?"

"Ah... Ha..."

Asuna nodded vigorously as she let out a hot breath.

"Yes... Make me...full...with your thing Kirito..."

Feeling slightly dizzy at the thought of having that straight-laced invincible warrior tell me that with such a tearful face, I pressed myself against Asuna's moistness. My penis caught on the entrance of her vagina as I moved it up and down.

"Ah... Ah..."

Asuna firmly gripped my shoulders with her arms as she squeezed her eyes closed and furrowed her eyebrows. Even in the pale blue darkness of the room I could see that her whole body was flushed and beads of sweat shined everywhere.

When I placed my hands at Asuna's sides, her hips moved slightly forward. I felt a slight resistance, but with a popping sensation, half of my penis was swallowed up inside of Asuna.

"Aaaa!!"

Even with just that, Asuna let out a scream as she arched her body to its limit. At the same time, my breath caught and I felt a numbness spreading from my penis to the rest of my body.

Having pushed my entire length into Asuna, I let my desires take over as I continued to penetrate her bit by bit.

"Aaah!! Haaaah!!"

Asuna continued to scream as she continued to vigorously shake her head while her body shook. Although I briefly wondered if it hurt, I was no longer able to stop my hips from moving as my penis continued to plunge into Asuna's deepest parts with a wet slapping noise.

"Ha... Ah... Ah—!!"

Eventually my penis pushed all the way into the root of Asuna's vagina. While she was the woman whom I knew the best and loved the most, the crazy thought that I was deep inside Aincrad's top idol at this moment was spinning around my mind, making me go crazy.

I somehow managed to calm my breathing as I put my mouth close to Asuna's ear and said,

"It's all inside... Does it hurt...?"

"N, no... So...hot... I-I'm going to melt...!"

Asuna answered me in a thin, high voice as she shook her head.

"Kirito...so much of you...inside me...ah...ah..."

I also felt like melting from the incredible heat that I was experiencing. My penis which was tightly gripped by Asuna was continuously sending heat waves up my back that exploded into fireworks in my head.

"Ah...ah, ah, ah, ah!!"

I was aware of Asuna's moans becoming higher and higher as I was immobilized, struggling against the sensations that threatened to overwhelm me. As if in anticipation, her slit also continued to tightly massage me with it's convulsions.

"Ah! Ah, no, no way, I'm, again, again..."

Asuna's voice, which sounded as if she was becoming delirious from the heat, was changing into a meltingly sweet sound and,

"No, no, again, I-I'm coming, coming, ah, ah..."

She threw her head back with a jerk and

"Ahhh——!!"

Screaming loudly, Asuna climaxed for the second time. At the same time, my penis was squeezed with an incredible pressure, and to my horror, I felt a raging sense boiling up inside me seeking release.

"!!"

I bit my lip and fought against that feeling. Supported by the thought that I couldn't relax when we hadn't even reciprocated once, I was somehow able to quell the urge. Panting heavily, I embraced Asuna's body which was limp from orgasm. I knew I didn't have much time left, so I violently pulled all the way back to the opening of her vagina before pushing in all the way in one thrust. Smack! Our bodily fluids flew about.

"Aaa!!"

Asuna's eyes flew open as she let out a shriek.

"No! If you...do that, I'm going to go crazy...."

"..."

[Backmask]

And finally.

I was once again forced to stop while deep inside of Asuna. The hot, soft sensation surrounded me as the throbbing of the folds penetrated my entire being. Asuna had come several times already and if we stayed like this, I would eventually end up coming. But I didn't feel like that would be a very good way to finish, so after thinking for a moment, I gently began shifting my body.

"Eh...?"

Lifting up a drowsy looking Asuna's body, I moved underneath. Eventually the two of us switched positions, with me on my back and Asuna in a mounted position on top of me. As soon as Asuna realized what sort of position she was in, her face turned even redder as she shook her head from side to side.

"No... this is...embarrassing..."

"Asuna, you try moving..."

"What... O-Ok..."

Asuna blushed shyly as she nodded and began to gently rock her body.

"Ah, aah... I'm...sorry that...I'm...the only one...feeling good... Kirito, you can come too..."

A sticky sound was coming from the slit that was being pierced by my penis. Asuna's movements were minimal, but the powerfully numbing feeling was spreading through my body again. Right when I thought, "At this rate I'm going to come right away—"

"Ah, Ah, Ah, ha..."

Her voice was once again mixed with the sound of arousal. Asuna bit down on the fingers of her right hand, as she moved her hips up and down.

"Ah, ah, why, am I, ah, like this, like this..."

Asuna's long chestnut-colored hair flew into the air every time she shook her head. Beads of sweat also flew about, turning into light before disappearing.

"I'm sorry, sorry, Kirito, I'm, ah, ah, com...com...coming—!!"

Asuna threw her body back while drawing out the last part of her sentence as she violently convulsed two, three times. Her breasts which were sticking out in front of her danced in time with those motions.

I was in no position to pause and admire the sight of Asuna with her eyes scrunched closed and her teeth gritted together looking incredibly cute, yet horribly lewd, all at the same time. As Asuna's vagina gripped my penis tightly, I was once again assaulted with the powerful urge to come.

Thinking that I wouldn't be able to resist it this time, I instinctively pushed up into Asuna's core with abandon. Grabbing her hips with my hands, I shoved my hard penis in as far as I could before pulling out again.

"Ah—!! Aaaah—!!"

Being suddenly assaulted right after coming, all Asuna could do was frantically writhe about. I took her hand which was extended toward me and linked our fingers together. Every time I stirred up Asuna's insides, our overflowing juices would fly about as the place of our joining melted in endless heat.

"Aah...amazing, amazing..."

Her bouncing breasts also sent large amounts of sweat flying about. Asuna was letting out deliriously sweet moans with a completely melted look on her face.

"Ah, A-A-Aaa!!"

"I-I'm com..."

"Ha, yes, let it out, ah, Kirito, let out, a lot..."

As I shoved myself into Asuna, I released all of the pent up sensations that I had stretched to the limits.

"A...Asuna...!"

"Aaaah—!!!"

I could feel my hot sperm gushing deep into Asuna as she trembled in yet another climax. Two years worth of semen made a glopping noise as it flowed endlessly into Asuna. Every time my penis twitched, fireworks would go off in my head.

"Ah...ah..."

After receiving all that I had to give her, Asuna's strength gave out as she fell on top of me.

"Ah... Ha..."

I gently embraced Asuna while she continued to gasp and convulse as if she was being stimulated by the fluids inside her body as my consciousness dimmed.

I downloaded all the available episodes of Tari Tari and Season 2 of Rinne no Langrange. So I'm adding those to my anime currently being watched count thing.

[Tayson1570]

Ultimate Muscle!!!!

[Luppi-tan]

Wow... Oo. That was quite a lemon.

[Sir Fluffykins]

Watching Scrapped Princess, which I've had sitting here for years. Trying to enter the HQ Anime downloading world, by getting Sword Art Online Episode 1-9 and Disappearance of Haruhi movie.

[jinzo64]

I'll probably go back to watching Haibane remane now that I finished watching H.O.T.D.

[Backmask]

Would manga be applicable in this thread? Recently got into Otoyomegatari. These pages have more detail than Berserk's.

I watched the first episode of Akagi earlier today. Definitely going to try to finish that soon. Of course, I still need to watch the third episode of Detonator Orgun.


Would manga be applicable in this thread?

I mentioned Kamen Rider Spirits, Franken Fran, and The Five Star Stories a while back with no backlash, so I doubt anyone cares enough to object.

[QUADChromatic]

I watched the first episode of Akagi earlier today.

I was watching that with one of my friends who used to play mahjong so he would explain all the rules as we watched but he stopped watching it so i had no idea what was going on anymore.

[Haar]

^I've played a little traditional Mahjong, but I never learned Japanese Riichi variation, so I'm probably going to have to go to Wikipedia to figure out half of this stuff that's not being explained by Translator's Notes.

[hosokawa37]

In my club this semester, we are watching Mirai Nikki, Ranma 1/2 [season 1], Dawn Princess of Amnesia, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, and Michiko to Hatchin

[havrd]

LogH for the third or forth time<3

[AKALink]

In the club I'm in we are watching:
FMA Brotherhood, Trigun, Gurren Lagann, and Azumanga Dioh

[Gleeman]

Watching Scrapped Princess, which I've had sitting here for years.

That's a decent show. Liked it enough to buy it on DVD.

[Haar]

I'm considering rewatching Mazinkaiser and then Mazinkaiser SKL, seeing as how nothing I've watched lately is particularly interesting. Also, I'm reading Zetman. Up to the 6th chapter. It's shaping up to look interesting. Sort of hoping this part about the young Jin will be over soon.


LogH for the third or forth time<3
Third OR fourth? How can you lose track with a show as memorable as this?

[thedarkmessenger]

Decided to watch Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (subbed version, since the dubbed skipped a bunch of episodes). Also watching Digimon Adventure 02.

[jules88]

I just finish soul eater, baccano and high school of the dead
next on my to watch list is black lagoon, linebarrels of iron and blood +

[ArtificialDreamer]

Now: Ah! My Goddess [Good story and very cute! Also love the concept of it.]
Before: Magic Knight Rayearth [Totally badass. Reminds me of an RPG from the good ol' early 90's. Cool art style. It's CLAMP so of course it's good.]
Later: Not sure. Need a recommendation. :3

[Haar]

[It's CLAMP so of course it's good.]

If you liked Magic Knight Rayearth, check out Genmu Senki Leda. It's a bit of a ****tease, in the sense that it's too short, but the two are fairly similar. Think of it as a one-shot OVA version of Rayearth with some Valis: The Fantasm Soldier thrown in.

[Chaos+]

Just downloaded every episode of Gintama and G-Gundam so I'm watching those.

[jinzo64]

I started watching pani poni dash.
It more messed up than i expected to be.

I'm watching it on dvd at the moment.

[QUADChromatic]

Now: SGT. Frog, Sword Art Online, And steins Gate When it is Released on DVD.
Later: No Idea

[neozectt]

Right now I am watching Persona 4: The Animation. Half of it was just released on dvd and blu-ray today. I am a big fan of the games, and I already got the premium version of golden pre ordered.

[glory of llama]

Kokoro Connect, it was dragging, the last few episode, but the recent one (11) really spiced it up!

theoretically, I'm also "watching" (read: in the middle of but haven't actually watched an episode of in months): Monochrome Factor, K-On!! (second season), Kenichi, Maira Holic, Strike Witches season2, I have Rquiem for the Phantom downloaded but I haven't even started it, Princess Lover, Sora no Otoshimono, Kanokon, Nichijou, To love ru, nyarlko-san, and michiko to hoshin (another I haven't even started).

Damn I'm lazy.

I'm enjoying watching Mawaru Penguindrum. It may be one of the few anime recently that I actually finish without a break.

Currently watching nothing right now, although I am thinking of rewatching Fate/Zero as listening to the OST is making me want to watch certain parts of it again.

Also, why watch Fate/stay night when you can read the visual novel?

because watching anime is better than reading a VN?

[Haar]

because watching anime is better than reading a VN?

Highly debatable. That's like saying watching a movie is more enjoyable than reading a book. Sure, there are exceptions on both sides, but books often have important details that adaptions leave out.

[thedarkmessenger]

um....watching a movie IS more enjoyable than reading :|

....although you are right about movies often leaving out details that may actually be quite important.

[Haar]

um....watching a movie IS more enjoyable than reading :|
I get what you're saying, but it kind of depends, for me. I enjoyed watching the movie adaptation of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory more than I enjoyed reading the book (which I still liked), but I enjoyed Yu-Gi-Oh! R a lot more than the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime. I know that's not a movie, but that's the best example I could think of at the moment.

....although you are right about movies often leaving out details that may actually be quite important.
According to some people I know, the Fate/stay night anime cuts out one of the 3 routes from the VN entirely.

[thedarkmessenger]

....there was more than one "route" in the anime? O_O

[Haar]

The anime covered the main route, the movie covered Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel was left out.

[thedarkmessenger]

There was a MOVIE? O_o

[Haar]

Yes (http://myanimelist.net/anime/6922/Fate/stay_night:_Unlimited_Blade_Works)

[Backmask]

The anime covered the main route, the movie covered Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel was left out.

The anime did include a bit of Sakrua's role in Heaven's Feel. Although it was half-assed.

[thedarkmessenger]

Guess I should try the VN someday...

[Haar]

The anime did include a bit of Sakrua's role in Heaven's Feel. Although it was half-assed.
Could've sworn Kaiju told me that they left it out completely. Regardless, I'm going to read that Visual Novel when I get a chance. Maybe after I finish the second season of Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

[Backmask]

Could've sworn Kaiju told me that they left it out completely.

Nope. Sakura was grimdark magic slut (Just like her role in Heaven's Feel) around the episode of Caster's defeat.

[Sir Fluffykins]

Wouldn't the anime, being a set story, only be one route by default?

[Haar]

Not necessarily. It's possible to give a show more than one story. Lots of American cartoons have "dual continuity" in the form of telling two unrelated stories in one episode.

[ThatsNotMyName_studio]

Watched "The girl who leapt through time" last night. Good stuff.

[jinzo64]

Watching pani poni dash got 3 episodes left not sure what I'll watch next But I'm sure I'll think of somthing might watch game of thrones or might watch some of the movies I havn't watched yet.

[thedarkmessenger]

Watching Strike Witches 2.....mostly for the AMV I'm gonna make xP

[ThatsNotMyName_studio]

Since we last met:
watched Akira
Started: Glass Fleet
and tonite, Okami-san and her seven Companions...Score! just saw the first episode and I love it already!

[Haar]

^I tried watching Glass Fleet, but I just didn't like it, and gave up after one episode. It just couldn't compare to some other space operas I've seen. Particularly Legend of the Galactic Heroes and even Tytania. Not to say Tytania was perfect, of course, but there's just something... off about Glass Fleet, for me. I might give it another go when I'm not busy, though.

[Gleeman]

Started watching Bakemonotagari. Initial reaction:

http://i.imgur.com/ngeuq.jpg

[ThatsNotMyName_studio]

I loved Bakemonogatari...Several story arcs. "Snail Girl" is my favorite arc.

[Gleeman]

Liked that arc too, only up to the 'monkey' arc so far. The show's visuals are impressive and the conversations are bananas...

[Haar]

12 episode shows have arcs, now? That's new. For me, anyway. I'm used to shows of that length being one long story, for the most part.

[Backmask]

So utilizing Powerpoint on top of horrific animation (That is, when the animation isn't outsourced) makes for impressive visuals?

Two - three episodes = a single arc.

[Haar]

I got back to watching Kaiji. I feel I should be reading the manga, though.

[SquintyMccheese]

I finally got time to start Nichijou. I was watching persona 4 earlier.

[draktaco]

I liked katanagatari havn't watched Bakemonogatari. is it any good?

[ThatsNotMyName_studio]

i haven't seen Katanagatari yet, I think it's the pre-story to Bake.
and there's also Nisemonogatari, which I haven't watched....yet =)

[Gleeman]

Also started Girls und Panzer. The tanks are nicely done, and I found it interesting that for the most part they've stayed away from 'mainstream' tanks.

Not sure where they're going with the show, though it has some promise.

[QUADChromatic]

Watching Sword Art Online's 2nd season

[Backmask]

i haven't seen Katanagatari yet, I think it's the pre-story to Bake.
and there's also Nisemonogatari, which I haven't watched....yet =)

Outside of being authored by the same person, Katanagatari is not related to Bake . And, for your own good, ditch Nisemonogatari. It's just sell-out pandering garbage that is on par with a soft-core porno (I actually heard a rumor that Nisio had no intentions of releasing Nisemonogatari and was just something he decided to write for the hell of it, but it is just that, a rumour[Of course, Shinbo has no problem directing something like this due to his repulsive philosophies on the production of anime])

[Fordi]

Bored without power, but a cellphone, crank charger, and netflix. Just burned through Demon King Daimao, The Sacred Blacksmith, and High School of the Dead. **** hurricanes, but I'm presently well-drugged with mediocre plots and cartoon tits.

[ThatsNotMyName_studio]

You can also get underwear-ed to death with HOTD for sure, Fordi.
Any idea when they'll get your power on again?

Backmask: I keep hearing that about Nise...maybe why I haven't tried very hard to watch it.
I have 2 episodes of Squid Girl (Ika Musume) left. It's very fun and good to look at, but doesn't have a progressive plot, so it leaves me a little wanting in that respect.
And I'm on Ep 6 of OOkamisan. I really like it, and I'm not looking forward to trying to find something else to watch after it.

[BladeGraffiti]

re-watching Megas XLR, it's close enough to anime with all the cliches and parodies.

I like it mostly due to the story. But i hate how Kishi treats some of the characters though, epsecially the female characters. it seems he always ignores anyone who isn't an Uchiha. And alot of the interesting characters never get developed enough for you to care about them. Hidan is a good example. What a waste of a perfectly good character.

Back when I still watched/read Naruto, my favorite character was Rock Lee, to be honest. He wasn't exactly well written, but he managed to stay entertaining. Some times, at least.

Well i can't coment on Bleach as i've only watched a few of the episodes. And Sure, One Piece is decent for the most part. But i got turned away from it for years because of that horrible 4kids dub which basically killed it for me. So i'm sticking with Naruto :) fyi, yes i am a dub watcher.

[Haar]

I dislike a lot of dubs simply because many of the voice actors either sound like they really don't give a flying **** about their lines or they haven't read the script at all before they start recording their lines. Either that, or there will just be wingdings lines galore.

Haha, wow, thats really bad lol for a dub. Least Naruto is dubbed right for the most part. They improved on the dub alot in Shippuden. But i really like it though when they rebring english dub casts back, like in Berserk. I just like to spend more time watching the actual animation than reading text at the bottom. But i really don't want to turn this into a Dub vs Sub thread so lol, so thats for another topic :)

Interestingly enough, we actually do have a thread about that. (http://www.amvhell.com/showthread.php?3319-Dub-or-Sub)

Anyway, there are some dubs I like. Take Cowboy Bebop, for instance. Not perfect, but not unwatchable.

As for the thing we were talking about earlier, don't bother with Bleach. It's not that great. Think of it as all the bad parts of Dragon Ball Z, doubled and with even more annoying characters. Oh, and more swords.

Thanks for the fair warning. I think i will skip on Bleach then. Ohh, i never really watched or got into any of the Dragon Ball related animes. I tend to stick to Fantasy. So thats why Slayers is always in my DVD player on top of Naruto.

[Haar]

Seeing as how you like Naruto, you might actually like Bleach. In my eyes, they're fairly similar.

At this point, I mostly watch space opera and mecha shows. I do watch the occasional fantasy show, though. Still haven't seen Slayers, however.

I tried watching Bleach as a freind gave me it to try out, but i just wasn't feeling it. Since i don't tend to watch animes with modern setting in them. Isn't that Mecha genre really big in Japan? :) Think the only one i have is Zone of Enders, i got the entire tv series on dvd for free. But i'm surprised that you haven't watched Slayers yet. It's one of my favourites. It has five TV series. With about 26 episodes in each one. Six OVAs and five movies (though the 5th movie is more like an actual episode of the tv series)

Sure Slayers isn't anything special but it has it's charm :)

[Haar]

I tried watching Bleach as a freind gave me it to try out, but i just wasn't feeling it. Since i don't tend to watch animes with modern setting in them.
It's barely a modern show. A lot of the show takes place in a feudal Japan-esque setting. The Soul Society segments, at least.

Isn't that Mecha genre really big in Japan? :)
Not as big as it used to be. Super Robot shows were really popular in the 70s, and there was a bit of a revival a few years back, but they're still not as popular as the slice of life genre currently is.

Think the only one i have is Zone of Enders, i got the entire tv series on dvd for free.
You might like Visions of Escaflowne. It's a show about knights fighting in robots, basically. I also suggest you watch The Five Star Stories.

But i'm surprised that you haven't watched Slayers yet. It's one of my favourites. It has five TV series. With about 26 episodes in each one. Six OVAs and five movies (though the 5th movie is more like an actual episode of the tv series)
I'll look into it later.

What would you consider a "special" anime? Only one I can think of right now that's particularly special is Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Same reason people watch NASCAR. To watch a massive wreck unfold.

I actually agree with Backmask for once. Is this opposite day? ;)

Crazier **** has happened. A girl got me to read the first four volumes of Rosario + Vampire. Even crazier than that, I'm considering picking it back up for the laughable "plot" alone. Well, if you can call that a plot. Mostly due to some suggestions from some friends.

[jinzo64]

I'm Watching Strike Witches season 2 it deffinatly alot better than the first series.

[abyssion1337]

I don't really watch the big 3 anymore, never got into one piece, Naruto has a good manga but I cannot stand the filler arcs and it's drawing to a close, which is good it needs to end. Bleach on the other hand, Kubo is a hack.

[jinzo64]

Bleach is also in it's last arc in the manga,the anime ended at episode 366.
As far As I'm aware there is no plan to make the rest of the manga in to an anime.

[abyssion1337]

good, because Kubo is a hack. A HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

[Haar]

And Kishimoto is that much better? Not particularly defending Bleach or anything. In fact, I really dislike it. Just asking.

Don't who Kishimoto is.

didn't say he wasn't,To honest I'm not as happy with bleach as I was the Whole Quincy arc as been a complete waste of what could have been an amazing story but it's the worst cannon arc ever.

[Haar]

Don't who Kishimoto is.
The guy that writes Naruto.

[jinzo64]

Oh The other Filler based anime with the corny story line.
It's 3 stories isn't it.

The acotski want to gain the powers of the ginchuraki

naruto wants to rescue sasuke

Sasuke wants revenge at the point I'm at.

I think that covers it

[Haar]

There's a bit more to it than those 3 parts you listed but, that's basically it. I read all of Part I and sort of gave up around the chapters in Part II where everyone gets revived after most important characters appeared to have died. I'll occasionally browse Wikpedia to see what's going on in the story, though. For the sake of closure.

Honestly, my favorite part was the Land of Waves Arc.

[jinzo64]

I'm kinda watching shippuden but I havn't got round to ordering the next DVD boxset,
I'm not up to the point with pain killing everyone but I know of it.

[Haar]

Just read the manga. It has a lot more merit than the anime. Faster, at least.

[abyssion1337]

Kishimoto is by no means perfect and sometimes he's only borderline good, but better than Kubo, yeah he's a lot better than kubo. Don't get me completely wrong, the Tobi reveal was well it was just dumb but hey, Ichigo's a quincy as of the latest chapter. I think it's obvious that Kubo is making this **** up as he goes along, at this point his world makes no sense and his characters are inconstant. Naruto has a lot more consistency, generally better characters as well. The funny thing is, both of these monsters started at around the same time, and at the beginning my opinion was reversed, I originally preferred Bleach and well this persisted though most of the first arcs of each but at the ends of those arcs it became very apparent which had better characters and plot, it was about at the time where Aizen reveal happened that I knew this series wasn't as good as I gave it credit for and well even though it was just a villain death at the time, Zabuza's death turned out to be a really big reveal that Naruto was a series that was going to have death, loss, pain and betrayal as themes. I will say that I'm aware of Naruto's flaws, and there is a particular point where the writing really lets things down, I absolutely loathe Sausuke, I don't hate any single character in Bleach as much as I hate him but luckily bleach is full of annoying comic relief, pointless characters and Marry Sues so they instantly managed to catch up to that pretty quickly.

[Haar]

I think Kubo stopped caring altogether once they told him his series was cancelled. I thought Bleach was going to be good when it first started as well, but then they pretty much abandoned the concept of hunting souls and saving wayward ghosts for the sake of Dragon Ball Z sword fights. That largely killed my interest in the series. Off the top of my head, I can't even really think of a character I particularly liked in Bleach.

As for Naruto, I honestly liked the beginning and thought it became worse as it progressed. The Land of Waves Arc was the high point and most things after that seemed sort of lackluster to me. Now, don't get me wrong. The Chunin Exams Arc was fair, but some parts just seemed a bit off to me. Can't exactly put my finger on a single thing, though. Once Sasuke left the village, I found the show to be a lot more unappealing. I appreciated the fact that they tried to "mature" the series, but the way they went about it annoyed me. Seemed as if they were implying Naruto really wouldn't truly mature unless he went on a quest to rescue his rival.

[jinzo64]

At the end of the day there both full of holes and can be realy rubbish.
Personally I do prefer some of the bleach characters but there are a few naruto characters i like.
The only Real problems i have Character wise Are Ichigo and Naruto they both Iratate me and both for the same reasons.

I don't mind character
Deaths but at this point it just seems like kudos using them as a way to end his bleach.

Oh halibel showed up in few scenes but hasn't been used.
Aizen has also been shown in a couple of scenes but hasn't real made much impact on the story.

[Memnoch]

Lets see...

Currently watching: Black Lagoon and throwing in some Berserk for the hell of it.
Later: Waiting for the rest of the Hellsing OVA to be dubbed (I started it in english and can't stand subbed because of it).

Also any good fighting anime you guys could recommend?

[jinzo64]

Black lagoon is an awsome anime.

A good fighting anime
Theres Dragonball Z
Fairy Tail

[Memnoch]

Yeah I watched DBZ until they started the GT series and I lost interest there. Also Black Lagoon has been great watching.

I've heard about Fairy Tail before but haven't checked it out yet...may have to do so.

[Haar]

Lets see...
Also any good fighting anime you guys could recommend?

Depends on what kind of fighting you want to see.

For hand to hand fighting, watch Fist of the North Star. I recommend viewing the movie first to get a taste of the action, though.

For sword fighting, watch Sword of the Stranger. The last battle was amazing. You might also want to look at Samurai Champloo. It involves 2 swordsmen having crazy adventures around Japan, though with some serious parts mixed in as well.

For Gunfights, watch Ghost in the Shell, or even Cyber City Oedo 808. I'd recommend Black Cat, but I only read the manga and haven't finished it yet anyway, so I can't guarantee you of its quality.

For insane robot fighting, watch Gurren Lagann or Mazinkaiser SKL. The former is based mostly around melee, but with some ranged fighting thrown in at later points. The latter is primarily melee, but with a bit more ranged fighting than Gurren Lagann.


Theres Dragonball Z
Personally, I'd recommend Dragon Ball Kai over Z, since it takes out most of the filler from Z.

[jinzo64]

I'm up to volume 3 of fairy tail on dvd.

you could also try strike witches it's cute and fun anime.

[Memnoch]

I'm kinda into almost any kind of fighting as long as it's entertaining.
I've seen Fist of the North Star a while back but it was good. Also seen Ghost in the Shell and thought it was pretty good.

A friend of mine has recommended I watch Gurren Lagann (which I've heard gets insane later) and Black Cat.
I'll be making a note to watch Gurren Lagann, Black Cat, Sword of the Stranger, Cyber City Oedo 808, and Fairy Tail.

One question about Mazinkaiser SKL, is that the newer one made that I've been seeing small clips of in some amv's or an older one?

[abyssion1337]

I'll say this don't watch the Black Cat anime, they try but you just can't cram a manga that large into 26 episodes.

[Haar]

One question about Mazinkaiser SKL, is that the newer one made that I've been seeing small clips of in some amv's or an older one?
Mazinkaiser SKL came out in 2011. Mazinkaiser came out 10 years before that. The original Mazinger Z premiered 4 decades ago. Also, what AMVs have used Mazinkaiser SKL besides Mecha Hell?

[Memnoch]

That may be the only one that does.
I just have a bad memory with some amv's due to the amount I've seen.

And Mazinkaiser SKL has also been noted for future watching.
