Founded news about these animes but are in spanish, if you are lazy search it for your own

also about Soul Eater Not, I dont liked that spin-off, i mean the characters were good, but if it should be longer the series that would be cool, but i dont liked it cuz as is a spin-off...

I have searched, and if I can't find an announcement of animenewsnetwork, myanimelist, or anichart then I'm going to call bullshit. I still want your links btw.

Soul Eater Not hasn't aired yet... So I'm guessing you're talking about the manga? But disliking a show just because it's a spin-off seems silly. It's good if it's good, it's bad if it's bad. It's parent story shouldn't really have anything to do with it.

Is it? I've been using it lately and I haven't ran into any problems.


yeah. I tried watching hxh ep 111 there but avast got all snarky with me.
avast also prevented me from watching klk ep 13.

maybe it's just on one of those pages but there's definitely something bad somewhere in there.

P.S. that HxH ep was boss. I didn't see Gon punch Pitou like I expected but still cool nonetheless.

Oh must we?
Is it absolutely imperative to anime history? Is it going to be a treasured addition to the plethora of exquisite anime that I've been privileged enough to experience? Is it going to take my breath away and blow my mind, simultaneously raising the bar and my expectation for anime in the future? Will I be able to place it in the halls of my heart, amongst my favorites? Such outstanding pieces of art as Cowboy Bebop? Can it walk arm and arm with such classics and pieces of art?
Is it a must watch? Is it?

HxH is probably one of the coolest, but under-rated manga in the history.
Did you know that a quarter of famous manga artist actually take inspiration from this manga?

The problem lays that the manga artist is just too lazy to work the manga.

I may have a few, but they're not solely romance shows, and in a lot of them the romance is more of an undertone. I might be able to give you a small list if your interested

Please do.

I haven't even seen season 1.
In all honesty, everything about it just screams 'you won't like this!!' to me. I've only ever seen a few anime that I feel did horror well, and this looks like it wouldn't make the list. The antagonist is a teddy bear? We have 15 'elite' students? This sounds horrendously childish and boring (at least to me). I expect the characters to 1D and generic, whatever reasons they use to kill each other are most likely to be silly and add the fact that a whole game has been jammed into 13 episodes... Ergh, no thanks.
You'd need a pretty amazing argument to convince me it's worth a watch.

So, what are some more titles I need to watch as apart of my 'anime history' education?

Ufotable re-doing fate/stay night, my body is wary but ready.

I haven't watched Fate/Stay Night yet, should I wait for the re-release?

No it's not lol. People love that manga. Personally, I think it's overrated. Lots of fan service, boring MC, typical plot (it had potential in the beginning), boring female character, mediocre cast overall, etc.
No where CLOSE to underrated. So many more manga out there that don't get enough recognition.

Okay, I'm pretty sure none of these are actually from the romance genre... but meh.
main characters die, so major spoilers (Click to Show)

So yeah, none of them are actual romances. But they are all shows I would normally recommend, but they might not be what you're looking for...
Hope they help though.
Edit: oh and School Days... Can't forget that beautiful boat 0_0

I haven't watched Fate/Stay Night yet, should I wait for the re-release?

In all honesty, I'm not sure. If the remake was just around the corner, I'd say wait. But I have no idea when in 2014 it'll air... I can tell you I found it unbelievably hard to get through after watching fate/zero. I found the pacing to be terrible, the characters were inconsistent, poorly developed, and just made stupid decisions considering they signed up for a death game... The animation isn't anything amazing by today's standards, and there was so much I just didn't like about the show.

Personally I'd wait, but if you think it is something you'll like you might as well. It just means you'll have to watch the same story twice in a year (who knows, if they do the Heaven's Feel arc, it should be pretty different). I might be able to recommend Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade works, but the movie assumes you've seen the series and cuts through the first five eps in a strange montage...

Of course the game was still better. They made Kirigiri an asshole on the anime >.>
I actually was so excited for the season 2 I watched a lets play at YT. God damn the game's a best. Don't really like the second's protaganist...

And is it me, but anime adaptation of games is always lesser in quality than the game. DR for example.

It isn't really horror to me, it's more to mystery. I'd say the horror is more into the executions. And I don't really reccomend the anime first. If you really want to enjoy it, play the game first.

I'm not good with arguments, but I'll try anyways.
What's wrong if the antagonist is a bear? It's just really a mechanical robot controlled by a mastermind. What's wrong with the 15 elite students? I don't really see them as boring. Each of the characters (literal to the word) has it's own unique, special ability. And their reason, silly? No dude. It is not silly in any way (except for the first one >.>). I would agree though, the way they packed a whole game into 13 episodes is a bit... urgh.

I tried as best as I can.
