I finished reading all the available volumes of Gamble Fish. Damnit, why does everything I love have to be unfinished?

[Chaoswizkid]

Ok, I just got around to finishing FLCL 30 seconds ago (saw the first couple of eps ages ago, just sat through the whole 6 in a row).

I really don't know what to think ...

Congratulations! You are thinking exactly what you are supposed to think. Good job.

No, they have a self defense force, but that's all they have. They do not have any standing military to be used for offense, just enough to defend their own homeland (with the help of US forces stationed there).

Of course the JSDF is among the most powerful and most modern militaries in the world.

The JSSDF is better.

[Reelya]

Rubbish, SDF-1 would knock out JSDF and JSSDF easily.

With one shot from it's Barrier Overload they blew up several million alien superbattleships.

Right now, just starting Air: The Movie, and next up on my watch list Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Rei I feel like I have low attention span recently, so I'm watching all the shorter series and loose bits and pieces I have lying around. I don't expect Rei to be as awesome as Higurashi or Kai though. Lol i know i'm about a decade behind most people who post on this thread

EDIT: Ok  Air: The Movie was pretty damn good i think, better than the TV version, because they tried to cram WAY too much into the TV version's 12 episodes, whereas this movie version simply did away with plot points and characters it didn't have space for, and having now seen the movie, this was the RIGHT decision i think. Not that close to the source material, but it stood well on it's own, which is what you want for a movie version. It might well be one of the best anime feature films i think I've ever seen actually. I'd put this on-par with a Miyazaki film actually, but Miyazaki films never made me cry like a baby, and this did. I'm glad I waited > 6 months between the TV and movie version though so I wasn't really mentally comparing details.

EDIT: Ok, and that's Rei watched, I was a more than a little dubious after episode 1, but it shaped up big time. Two less things in my to-watch folder.

Awwright ... getting through a pile of OVAs ...

Hah, I'm now onto "Mars of destruction". Man, this does really suck. Classical music blaring over important dialog, crap washed out colors. I've seen better art in low-budget 80's cartoons. And they seem to have forgotten to have any actual characters in the show. This is the #1 reason it fails, in my opinion (not that there aren't 50 other types of fail). There's absolutely no-one to root for. I'm thinking failed TV show project, and they just wrapped it into one episode and washed their hands of it.

But none of that matters because in the first episode the leopar-headed Guin introduces himself by literally punching a guy into a ground and then proceeds to punch another guy into a tree with such force that when his helmet strikes it the tree is lit on fire.

...god damn it, now there's something else I need to see.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Opinions on the Persona anime anyone?  Right now it's rushing some of the Social Links stuff. otherwise it's pretty good in my opinion.

[MantisMan]

I only saw part of the first episode. Thanks for reminding me about it. I was planning on watching it after I finished with fate zero.

[ToonyMan]

Season 2 of Fate/zero will be better than the first season.  Just you wait...I don't know if it would be funner knowing or not knowing.

Mahoyo comes out April 12th too.  And the first night for Higanbana is almost done, thanks Bronove.

You mean battlepods. There were no battleships in the area then.

Nope, I'm talking SDF Macross, episode 27, see 19+ minutes in, there's clearly zillions of enemy battleships still alive outside the alien flagship, then they punch through into and there's a ton inside the flagship too, all those battleships, inside and out, were destroyed during the following blast, enemy battleships are shown outside the flagship as it starts to explode. The allies only had a tiny force relative to the main fleet and could only cut a path through the enemy to hit the main target. The main bulk of the enemy force of 4 million ships got taken out by the big explosion (quite a few got taken out by the grand cannon as well though).

I think I'll go into season two with optimistic ignorance. I spoiled myself on the Archer/Shirou plot in between the fate/stay night anime and the VN, so I want to see fate zero with new eyes.

I only know about Berserker using a fighter plane's minigun, and some details about rider's  death. Hopefully these aren't the most awesome things that happen.

[ToonyMan]

Err well, don't spoil others by saying what you were spoiled of...

On the topic of spoilers I was not spoiled for Fate/stay night or Fate/zero.  Honestly the only thing I was spoiled of was Death Note and I was a newb back then.

THESE EYES, THEY CAN AVERT EVERYTHING

[MantisMan]

Those count as spoilers? They aren't even part of the main story. Well, the rider bit is, but we know the rough outcome of this story because of fate stay night.

Actually describing the Archer/Shirou subplot is what I'd consider a spoiler.

[Reelya]

I'm going to agree with MantisMan here, a couple of random names thrown about don't really spoil anything, because you need some exposure to the franchise to know who the hell they are. I mean, I've played FSN's first route and I really don't know exactly what MantisMan meant exactly. I'll get around to the anime one day
