You didn't get to finish Graffiti Kingdom? DANG! you almost fought the ONLY tough boss in the game!
-Mind you assuming you got a good doodle. My "Anime Ninja" (his name) was actually my best doodle ever as he has super speed, super reach, and great damage. Yeah Doodles had hidden stats based on how you construct their bodies.

I sort of like Magic Pengel more in every way except doodle creation.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Welcome to the Black Parade. Spoilers. Srsly. Lot of people don't like My Chemical Romance/this song, but I thought this video was astounding. *shrug.*
This one is a lot better in my opinion...  Ah yes, heavy spoilers for Gurren Lagann.

Wait, so attaching floppy "wings" and tiny short legs was not optimal? Darn.
But yeah, I loved Graffiti Kingdom.

Neonivek, did you ever check up on the horrible, horrible Saint Seyia remake*?

I'm curious to see if there's anyone who can actually watch it and not find it a mess.

*This is not meant to imply the original was any good. -_-

In other news I need an Anime to watch to eat up my copious free time, and I'm looking at Birdy The Mighty Decode, mostly because it looks interesting. Anyone seen it who can give their opinions?

There is a Saint Seyia remake!?! O_O

Hmm where is it? Whoa!?! Saint Saiya was popular... there are soo many.

Also the original I think has its place. If there is one thing it does well is create a mythos that is kinda interesting.

I wake up and 5 Thursday shows have aired and been subbed while I was asleep. The only ones that haven't are Idolmaster and BakaTest2. Expect this post to be edited with a big wall of text in a few hours.

The Lost Canvas is the one I was talking of. It just all seems so rushed, It's pretty hard to stay interested.

That said, It's also pretty easy to generally predict what's about to happen.

Well it is pretty hard to top the horridness of Live On Cardliver (the polar opposite of Yu-Gi-Oh where cards should be "Everything" but end up being "Nothing"). 52 episodes of "Why am I watching this?" with a rather poor main character.

It is also ANOTHER freeken series where the main villain wasn't defeated...

But I guess I'll dive in.

WOW!

I am impressed Saint Seiya I can feel how cheap this feels in the opening narration. Also I can imagine EXACTLY how the meeting to make this anime was like.

Old guy: "Hey lets bring Saint Seiya"
Young guy not listening: "What huh? yeah great idea we will do it tommorow"

The next day

Buddy: "What were you thinking!?! this anime is old! I mean, the main characters arn't even children they are full on adults!"
Young guy: "AHHHH!!!"
Buddy: "Don't worry I have you covered. We will just convert the anime to the new style we have been developing"
Old Guy: "But won't that ruin the themes and appeal of the original anime as well as dumbing it down for the audiance as a whole?"
Young Guy: "Shut up! your lucky we even glanced at the material. Quick we need violent chibi girlfriend!"

Note: I am predicting a violent woman somewhere who will hit the hero on the head. Lets see if I am right! (also nevermind he isn't a child, jsut that the animation sometimes makes his legs smaller... I guess he is a teen)

*Watches 5 minutes*

Ohh gosh I am in it for the long haul arn't I?

Yep such as

The anime isn't so bad first episode. Very VERY generic but so far not so bad. Not exactly sure what they mean by "True colors" versus "Fake Colors" but I have a feeling it has to do with what you put into something.

and the second episode also has the dumbest villain ever whos goal was to attack children randomly for no reason.

Watched Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance.  Was really great and awesome.  Unlike Rebuild 1.0 this one diverges from the tv series plot much much more.  I'm sad now because I finished watching all the Neon Genesis Evangelion currently but I always have the many adaptions and other series to do now as well.  While I do other things Rebuild 3.0 will be made kehekehekehe.

Man why can't I feel like this all the time, endless possibilities.  Like my behavior has done a complete 180 in the last 2 years.  Instead of always dwelling in the same and boring I keep on doing new and interesting things.  It's so much fun.

Actually I am rather impressed by the second episode of Saint Seiya. They essentially

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I am really waiting for the horridness I've heard of to start. So far it seems to be generic but not terrible... outside that dang villain.

Third episode down...

Ummm what exactly happened there? Also the heros have managed to make themselves look stupid but frankly at this point it is minor.

Episode 4: I am starting to see why people are confused. The anime introduces something entirely new every single episode (usually making something up on the spot) combined with copious amounts of Plotholes..

and I mean Plotholes dear goodness... I mean at one point a character lightly falls onto the ground and shatters it... Plus the hero makes too much use of the anger power up.

Ok and NOW I am starting to hate it... but it is because I really hate this trend in anime where people die like candy. That and Episode 6 is just flat out bad... I'll explain why in more detail later... after I have a buffer between posts (so I don't make posts too long)

DAMN YOU EPISODE 6!!!

Just double post. Happens in Mafia all the time. :P

So, anyone seen Samurai 7? It's about samurai who cut 50-foot tall mechas in half with wait don't go it's better than it sounds.  It's more or less Seven Samurai in anime form, which means it's somehow interesting in spite of said ridiculousness. Or at least, I wasn't bothered by it.

Creating a new post because that's how I roll. Let's get this show on the road.

I had heard that the No.6 manga is pretty good, but filled with homolust. The OP ended with some guys gazing into each others eyes, separated by a big rainbow. The first episode was keen not to splash out on information about the setting, but from what I grasped of it, No.6 is the typical perfect futuristic city that I suspect is secretly horrible. A wanted criminal (or something, we'll learn later I guess) escapes from somewhere, and ends up staying the night at the MC's house. Cue wrestling on the bed followed by some hand holding. It does seem pretty interesting though, i'll be keeping watch on this one. It is by Bones, and they tend to do good shows. It's also in the noitaminA slot, which usually broadcasts shows of good quality, although some can be piles of shit (like Fractale).

Mayo Chiki is about a cross dressing reverse trap butler, her sadist master, and the inevitable generic MC who finds out and receives abuse. There's also some really cute side characters (especially the MC's sister) that I guess we'll hear of later. I quite liked the first episode.

Blood-C is a collaboration between Production IG and CLAMP, which is one hell of a combination. It's set in the Blood universe, with nothing to do with the movie and Blood+, although I assume it will have some relation at some stage. I thought the first episode was great, especially the fight scene at the end. I can't remember the last time i've seen something with such fluid animation without using shitty CG. It really was that good. The art in general is fantastic, especially the character designs which are the usual CLAMP noodle people that crossover from their other works.
 
Mawaru Penguindrum is an original anime, directed by Ikuhara Kunihiko of Revolutionary Girl Utena fame. The first episode made absolutely no sense (which is fine for a 24 episode series) and had a seriously cool style to it. It has lots of penguins. Considering the staff list, this will probably turn out to be a gem.

Usagi Drop is an adaptation by Production IG of the apparently very good manga, the second airing in the noitaminA slot. The first episode was very laid back and calm (I love laid back and calm), and also excessively cute. Daikichi is so likeable, too. It's one of my favorites so far this season.

Still waiting for non-shit subs for iDOLM@STER and any subs for Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni. I know what to expect with both of them, though.

Double-J: The second episode was just as uneventful as the first, but it's 4 mins so fuck it.
Ro-Kyu-Bu: It has lolis playing basketball. What else needs to be said?
Blade: Shit. Dropped.
Kamisama no Memo-chou: Pretty good, especially for a JCStaff show.
Ikoku Meiro no Croisée: Calm and cool. One of my preferred shows this season.
Sacred Seven: Not so good. Still watching because it's not Blade-tier shitty.
Natsume Yuujinchou San: It's Natsume. Utterly brilliant.
Yuru Yuri: Heart attack fodder, anything with Yuri in the title has my watch.
Kaitou Tenshi Long Name Here: Pretty shitty, but still cute.
Kamisama Dolls: First ep gave nothing away, dunno what to expect. Has a robot that looks like QB.
Morita-san wa Mukuchi: Only 3 minutes ;_;
Nyanpire: It's 4 minutes long. First episode was about a cat drinking ketchup.
No.6: Seems pretty decent, noitanimA.
Usagi Drop: Very good, noitanimA.
Blood-C: CLAMP, it's guaranteed to be at least good.
Mayo Chiko: Was watchable
Mawaru Penguindrum: No idea what i'm watching, but it's pretty decent.

Ok I will just come out and say

Episode 6 is the biggest butt pull victory I have ever seen in an anime... no... a show my entire life!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If anyone can find one worse... please share

Though... That Gundam Seed Destiny twist is also on equal footing.
