Ohh I watched SAO.. it's pretty entertaining


i can't watch SAO. I watched (and dropped at 10 or so) Accel World last season and I can't bring myself to watch another VR anime.

mutton's a user who was banned

If you really like Bake, I recommend watching Katanagatari next. Same type of banter/excellent dialogue and lovable characters, but with awesome non-shounenshit fights. Don't put Nisemonogatari (continuation of Bake) on your watching list anytime soon unless you're keen on fanservice and like Shinobu a lot.



I don't mind fanservice, but that can't be what makes the show, otherwise it's a turn off. I tried to watch Persona 4, but couldn't get into it.

Edit: How would you describe shounenshit, by the way?

1. MC losing to super strong villain
2. MC has DETERMINATION and then has an epiphany while laying on the ground GGRR NEVER GIVE UP
3. or uses the power of friendship/love/flashback to some shit
4. EXTREME POWERUP!!!1 defeats villain who was supposed to be ultra powerful, also might not even kill him cuz that would be bad
5. goes on to training arc and gets even stronger
6. later MC is so much stronger that previous villain is just a scrub in comparison
7. villains are clear cut "evil" and don't seem reasonable at all

also what makes the show for Nise is the characters; I just think you should spend your time watching critically acclaimed series first and foremost instead of fapfiction, unless you're really into it

Fair enough. This is new. I haven't ever really had an intelligent conversation about anime. I just drool and clap at the "cool" fights.

Personally, I prefer just arguing about which girl is best girl while posting funny pictures.

I haven't got that far yet. You'll have to bare with me until I can participate without getting trolled.

I'm hooked on a game/anime called Persona 4. Although it does have an actual anime series, the story line was too simplified for my liking. I might get to watching it after I finishing the 100 hour story.

oooooooooooo fun game
did you play the 3rd one?

also i'm not the most avid anime fan, but lately i've been getting into hunter x hunter although the series is a bit old
starting to get into SAO, and i might get into that lupin III spinoff

Hey, I'd like thank whoever will accept it. I was actually a "entry level fag" not a week ago. I just watched whatever came on toonami and whatever I stumbled upon on Netflix. And Holy sh*t, the time I wasted streaming. I was perusing this thread and read a few posts that made me think. (which meant my feelings got all hurt) I reviewed what I used to watch and changed how I viewed my anime. The quality of what I'm watching has jumped leaps and bounds. I'm using torrents and watching stuff with some substance. I've just started watching Bakamonotagari, and I'm enjoying it. I'm downloading Sword art online now. Thanks guys.

If you're watching hunter x hunter, yo.
Make sure to watch the new 2011 show too.

Heh, I was making a shot in the dark on the off chance it was rival.
Because it would've been epic.
