You have good taste. I absolutely love Code Geass and Steins;Gate, as both of them are in my top three. Guilty Crown is pretty cool too.


Thanks! I love anime that give me free onions.

Have you watched steins;gate and fma brotherhood? Not to sound elitist or anything, it's just that you typically don't see too many people put shana on their top 5. Or guilty crown.

Aside from snafu season 2, what else is there?


Bro
Lupin III?
UBW 2?
Haruhi, Gintama, Kekkai Sensen, Shokugeki no Soma?
Yamada kun to Nananin no Majo (If you're into that?)
A whole slew of other things that look like they have potential too, and Gainax's grand return. Everythings coming up milhouse in the spring dude

Lupin III?

Didn't grow up with Lupin.

UBW 2?

Sorry, no. Pretty much distancing myself from Fate/Stay Night for some time, if not for good.

Haruhi

What is this

Gintama

Might as well read the manga, it's episodic enough. If it's a reboot though...

Kekkai Sensen

I'll give you this one.

Shokugeki no Soma?

I already read it.

Yamada kun to Nananin no Majo (If you're into that?)

See above.

A whole slew of other things that look like they have potential too, and Gainax's grand return. Everythings coming up milhouse in the spring dude

Who are they and why should I be excited

Raptor please.
Lupin is great whether you grew up with it or not

you let the light novel ruin the whole anime experience for you? That's incredibly short sighted

c'mon now

it's a reboot

please.
also, when I said heavy hitters I mean't of course like big ticket titles, not necessarily things you'd be interested in lol

Sure, but if it continues off from somewhere unfamiliar, I won't start it

Don't patronize me. I read the visual novel and I didn't like the premise of the story nor did I like the characters. I saw Jelly's rant and he pretty much said whatever I thought about Fate/Stay. I'm not going to devote time to a series that I know I probably won't like. It's just a gigantic waste of time and I need to organize my time better, so if I ever get back to watching Fate/Stay Night, it'll be when I can make the sacrifice. Don't call me myopic just because I know I don't like something.

it's a reboot]

Alright, cool. Might give it a chance then.

You know you don't like something that you yourself have never watched? That's cool

Would you invest time watching Game of Thrones if you hate the books?

Probably tbh, watching and reading are usually completely different experiences

I saw the character designs for the Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan and it's all moe'd up it's not even funny.

They gave Nagato... emotions *gasp*
Kyon looks like he's not getting tired of a certain goddess
but I'm just glad they didn't fuck with best girl too much and even revived her long hair

I haven't read the manga but I liked the Haruhi Suzumiya anime so I'll probably watch it. The designs are pretty cool.

It's the closest thing I can get (besides reading the source material) to new Haruhi material so I'll take it.

edit: I've watched the first two episodes of Guilty Crown and I'm starting on the third, is this consistently going to be so obviously aimed at 14 year olds all throughout? Thus far a loser who "thinks differently from the others" suddenly meets half-naked hottie in his property, and the hottie just so happens to be in an idol group he likes. Then he gains xx_kool_xx powers and gets involved in something about saving people and shit. Then some more pre-pubescent wet dream escapist fantasies, delivered with just the right amount of boobie bouncing and phat ass shaking. I'm probably going to finish this anyway since it's just 24 episodes and I've been told it's not really super horrible, but goddamn holy shit I'm scared that this going to be another SAO experience.

edit2: I'm actually enjoying it lol. I mean there are a few things in it that are silly and hard to believe, but I think it's alright thus far at ep 12.

edit3:
"guilty crown spoilers (!!!)" (Click to Show)


edit4: Finished it. I can't explain half of what happened, the other half can be explained with ''because all the characters other than IzayaxHisoka love child are stupid and annoying". I say that, but I guess I still enjoyed watching it. I wouldn't have spent the day watching it if I didn't.

Edit 1 was pretty much the reason why I stopped watching it before lol. You must be a lot more open-minded than me.
