Holy wow, actually, Excel Saga should be in that list! How did I let that one fly by me? I remember now! I even watched it before Puni Puni Poemi!

But there's a different Puni anime? I've never heard of it.

[Neonivek]

But there's a different Puni anime? I've never heard of it.

Well Puni Puni Poemi's name is a joke because it is similar to an actual anime with a VERY similar name. At least as far as I am aware.

So it isn't a different Puni anime. Assuming my memory is correct because all ofa sudden I am having trouble finding it.

[lemon10]

I strongly recommend both baccano and durarara.

Pani Poni Dash?

[Neonivek]

Probably but I swear there was one with a much more similar name. Dang memory.

As for the animes I've seen Josh. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of good ones under my belt.

The worst anime I've seen that I like: Cooking Master Boy
The Anime I like the most: Full Moon Wo Sagashite (that I don't suggest to anyone anymore. I've learned that my tastes are odd)

The Latest animes I've watched with my oppinion.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Detective Loki: Mildly Bad and pointless.
-Its Japan!: SOO terrible and the plot is nonsense. I could imagine it being MUCH better if your a native Japanese speaker due to the puns (the vast majority of jokes are puns)
-Yamino Pastichie Professional: Slow and doesn't go anywhere. It is odd because they set up a plot and don't even touch it.
-Yamino Pastichie: horrible start and it gets better as it goes on. I am surprised by how Non-Superskilled the main character is. She is reasonably unskilled even near the end.
-Law of Ueki: It starts off interesting and actually seems to get boring as it goes on. Not that bad and its second season theme is sort of awsome when it chimes in.
-Hitman Reborn: Starts off decently and quite well. It actually gets worse near the end (3rd season which is more then 50% of the episode count) where it falls into what seems like endless filler and power up sequences. The characters are the best part of the anime, tons of cool memorable characters.
-Cooking Master Boy: I don't know why but I really like this anime. Just don't take it seriously and realise how horrible it actually is and it becomes a comedy. I mean have you ever heard of GIRLY NOODLES!?! well this anime has. I suggest this for anyone who wants to see a BAD anime that is also entertaining.
-Mermaid Melody: I like it a lot. STAY AWAY FROM IT! It is Sailormoon where they beat enemies by singing and the characters are rather charming and oddly enough the WEAKEST romantic subplot is the Lucia's.

Dang I need to remember more because I know I saw more... What was the one with that highschool detective who solves crimes and IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE!!!

Right now I am thinking of either watching Fairy Tale... or because I am tired of disapointment some really bad niche anime because I'll know it is bad.

Actually here we go

What is the WORST (as in objectively... or subjectively) Anime you like people?

[Chaoswizkid]

I just watched NGE episode 8.

I thought you pronounced it A-soo-ka not ass-ka.

It's spelled A-Su-Ka. However, Japanese pronunciation commonly drops "u" sounds, or just leaves a slight silent spot in it, like "Ah-ss-ka". It has to do with spelling. I believe also that since she's quarter German that the name might be a parody of "Oska". I'd have said it might have just been a katakana translation of it, but I think her name was originally Japanese in canon. Now that I know what katakana is, I'd have to watch the episode where she writes her name on the board to see if she spells it in hirigana or katakana.

Anyways, that Kaji (or however you spell it) guy is a dick, Asuka is loud, annoying and full of herself (and she speaks German which is sorta cool), Shinji's not so much of a coward in this episode which is good, Misato is still pretty cool, and those two guys (jock boy and glasses kid) whose names I never remember are funny chaps.

Pretty much, that's just how she deals with things, non-coward Shinji's pretty cool, Misato's always cool, and you mean Touji and Kensuke, respectively for each comma'd statement.

Also, sweet fucking Jesus Gendo Ikari.

What is Instrumentality, and is that actually the first human in that piece of glass/ice?

I don't want it spoiled, but just give me a hint. PLEASE

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ah, the Human Instrumentality Project. The current skin I have for my Firefox browser says it's "In Progress." =D
I don't know what you're referring to about the "first human in that piece of glass/ice", unless you totally mistook what I'm pretty sure you mistook. The answer is "No, it's not the first human, and no, there's no glass or ice involved."

Should I watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, or go for Rebuild of Evangelion for slightly less suicidal tendencies?

OR should I just watch Big O again and cry over the lack of closure?

I would actually recommend watching both versions of NGE. There's things about Rebuild that I think are really awesome, but there are parts I definitely prefer the original series over, especially Asuka's character. Plus, Rebuild only has 2 released so far I'm pretty sure, and there's 4 when all is said and done. I think you should hold off on watching Rebuild. Go with the original series, get to episode 20-21-ish and decide if you want to go on or watch The End of Evangelion movie. Regardless, you should watch EoE, it just matters if you want to watch it for it's closure of the series itself or if you want to embrace the original ending. If it wasn't your thing, try and see if Rebuild 1 suits your fancy. If not, NGE's probably not for you.

[Vector]

Bah, I really want to see Rebuild.  I've watched the entire original series and EoE a couple of times apiece, but... I guess I just haven't been brave enough recently to watch Rebuild, since I don't know if I could take it changing >_>;;

A bit bizarre, I suppose, but I also really liked the darkness of the original.

[ToonyMan]

Spoiler: Also, major ending spoilers for Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 1, but I thought it was a great reaction to somebody who didn't get spoiled themselves beating the first episode (click to show/hide)

7:31 PM - Toony: it seems Battler is always one step behind
7:31 PM - Leafsnail: Like a goddamn stalker of the plotline
7:31 PM - Toony: I hope he gets better at this crime solving thing
7:32 PM - Leafsnail: Well, there's 7 more episodes left
7:32 PM - Toony: does the anime do all the episodes?
7:32 PM - Leafsnail: The first 4
7:32 PM - Toony: wow
7:35 PM - Toony: they never even attempted to find the gold too, wow this feels like a tradegy how the hell is this gonna get turned around?  unless this is the many screw ups of Battler and co I cant see how
7:36 PM - Leafsnail: They get a dog, get a green van and
7:36 PM - Toony: what
7:36 PM - Toony: is this fucking credits?!
7:36 PM - Leafsnail: There's an uh
7:37 PM - Leafsnail: Extra bit afterwards
7:37 PM - Leafsnail: Don't worry
7:39 PM - Toony: what the fuck is this
7:39 PM - Toony: 1st game resukts?
7:39 PM - Toony: resutls?
7:39 PM - Toony: oh my god does this keep repeating
7:39 PM - Toony: over and over
7:39 PM - Leafsnail: Yesssssss
7:40 PM - Toony: ...
7:40 PM - Toony: that is so awesome

Chaoswizkid:

GENDO SAID IT WAS ADAM (unless he means... BIOSHOCK?!)

I instinctively thought "First human" and all that shit.

Sorry if I misinterpreted it.

[Neonivek]

Yep I sure have a talent for picking bad anime.

I am having a hillarious time. I mean this Anime has a Team Rocket and the main character defending someone with his life first episode...

Though I am not sure yet... I am pretty sure the main character is about to just outright beat Teamrocket with a super ability that makes strategy pointless.

The Music is actually pretty good though. Not excellent mind you but it isn't garbage filler.

Kinda glad I watched Kaitou Jeanne (even though it wasn't good...) since now I see Kaitou being used everywhere and know it mean either thief or is meant to sound like theif.

Ah, I thought you saw the other one. If you're talking about Adam, I'm not really sure if I remember seeing it encased in ice or glass. I'd talk more about it if it wasn't so spoilery. That said, no, still not a human. Adam is something else that you've already seen though.

Bah, I really want to see Rebuild.  I've watched the entire original series and EoE a couple of times apiece, but... I guess I just haven't been brave enough recently to watch Rebuild, since I don't know if I could take it changing >_>;;

A lot of people have issues with it. I personally appreciate both versions. This is still all from Anno, after all. The animation is AMAZING. The first Rebuild movie follows very closely to the anime. The second took all of that, gave more background, teased me with some awesome, and then masterfully derailed itself off of the original plotline and did things I never expected. In a good way. Unlike a raging Asuka fanboy, I'm able to appreciate Asuka Shikinami's character (and Mari's, too), so I'm able to appreciate the changes. I was slightly put off by the brief show of a Gurren Lagann-worthy scene, but it made sense in the context it was presented in.

If you're able to roll with the changes and just enjoy the series in general, I'd say take a definite look into it. At least the first Rebuild movie.

Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne? You watched the whole thing? Wow. That show has the most ridiculous premise.

I almost jumped on and started to list all the anime I've seen beginning to end, but that list is long and embarassing. It includes both Vandread and Iria: Zeiram the Animation(oh god).

But it also includes Salaryman Sentai Force Shinesman!

[Neonivek]

Yep the whole thing. Unfortunately it doesn't really deliver on its own premise.

Also an example of a really frustrating plothole, Kaitou Sinbad originally had to carry around his needles because he didn't have access to the same magic Jeanne does... Later however he can just create the stuff out of thin air making several scenes make NO SENSE!!!

Also Arina has the tendency to remake her characters a hillarious amount of times.

I have an unfortunate need to finish anime I start (as long as they have a plot)... unfortunately that has lead me to watch some really bad animes.

[FuzzyZergling]

So me and my brothers just marathon'd Desert Punk. Anybody else seen it?

[fqllve]

So me and my brothers just marathon'd Desert Punk. Anybody else seen it?

I saw the first few episodes on Starz once. It was pretty good. Humor was a little juvenile but I'd watch the rest. Not a bad dub either.

I read the first volume of Kannazuki no Miko yesterday. It was...interesting. I got a really heavy X/1999 vibe from it, and the central love triangle was pretty interesting since the object of the triangle was convinced the other two parties were dating, but it was just too ridiculous to take itself as seriously as it did and the mecha scenes (which were obligatory for every chapter) were boring. Don't think I'll read the other volume.
