That bit was a bit annoying yeah, tho it kinda gets better again after that.

Anyways, some thoughts on Kuromukuro, seeing as ep 11 finaly got translated (just in time for the next one too). I'm willing to be money that Akagi guy gets to pilot Longarm sometime soon, and I'm not sure I really like that idea since it feels like they're throwing him, a rather bland dude with a crush into the mix just so we can have some love drama or something. I mean, it could be interesting if they give him a bit more focus and we follow his development into someone interesting perhaps, but I'm not sure I'm able to give anyone that much credit these days.

Anyways, waiting for the next episode to see how accurate I was.

And that Ends GuP. Does Bay 12 have any recommendations for our Next Anime? We'll post log Highlights if you want.

Karnewarrior: LAST EPISODE
Sprin: HYPE HYPE HYPE
Karnewarrior: It's the lastest
Sprin: watch them lose
Sprin: and the school closes
Karnewarrior: I would
Sprin: and bad end
Karnewarrior: love this anime forever if they did
Karnewarrior: and hate it if it's bullshit
Sprin: Like
Karnewarrior: but I would like having the mc lose for once
Sprin: "yeah you think we gave them THAT good of plot armor?"
Sprin: "Fuck you"
...darn it, I can't even say what anime ending this immediately reminded me of without completely spoiling the anime itself.  Because, well, last-second "plot armor takes five AP rounds to the chest" is a bit of a spoiler.

Let's see, shows watched together and posted here were Elfen Lied and GuP, from what I found with a 5-second cursory search.  Hmmm...I'm gradually realizing just how utterly inadequate my anime list is for analogy to those two, that would also be amusing to watch other people watch.  Ooh, maybe Irresponsible Captain Tylor; some of the more interesting/outrageous stuff in that show might be fun to watch other people react to. ^_^ For more "high school girls fighting in whatever", maybe...oh, I dunno, how about Bodacious Space Pirates (I actually picked it up because the name was so outre that it couldn't help but set off my "train wreck" fascination; it wasn't as bad as that, but I think it had a bad case of missed potential that made it ultimately forgettable).  Planetes is one I will always suggest, though, unambiguously and utterly.  Sorry; a lot of the stuff I like is either different tastes, not as suited for a good MSTing, or both.

I feel you on that one. The premise they started with was brilliant, but then they ruined it in too many ways to count. :I

So watched Kabaneri no something something (and the Iron Fortress in japanese i presume) 11th episode...and gave up half way through

The show had so much promise despite the typical bland "IM GONNA SAVE EVERYONE! NO ONES GONNA EVER GET HURT AGAIN!" stupid good main character...but it completely lost it with the introduction of the Villain.


anyway to the GuP dude: Haifuri is basically Girls und Battleship, then there floats around Girls und Luftwaffe somewhere (don't ask me where i forgot its name) and otherwise Upotte if you want Girls und Assault Rifle (although the Girls ARE Assault Rifles, which is less retarded than it sounds)

Hmm anyone got any good animes with some nice ultra-violence and preferably few anime tropes (clicheés? i think you know what i mean)? Think in the vein of Black Lagoon, Jormungand, Berserk, The one with the two professional killers and the prostitute in the vaguely italian city (or was it a proper italian city?) or Gate! (preferably with less harems going on)

Man, Black Lagoon and Berserk really aren't what I'd point to as series that use traditional clichés of the medium. I'd also think that leaning on such would clash with the other premise of quality. TBH I can't really think of anything that has sufficient overlap, except maybe Gantz, if you want to take wossname's constant contextually inappropriate perversions as being representative of a cliché. Fair warning if you read it, though, it gets really fucking weird later on, and that's saying something.

Nope.  Actually, I was warned off of that show by this thread, so I never watched it.  It's a 90s anime that came over around the early 00s.

Haifuri had no dub, and Sprin whined harder than Shinji Ikari at a AA meeting. (He's a bitch, and also, dyslexic. The bitch.)

So we looked at Planetes instead.

Spoiler: Planetes Episode 1-2 (click to show/hide)

Planetes turned out to be too much a reminder of our shitty jobs. So instead of episode 3, have a bonus instead! (It's like DLC!)((We'll watch more later. It's good enough to continue, we're just short on time))

Spoiler: TORADORA BONUS! (click to show/hide)


So this time we ended up not having much to say; a Hazard of starting a series with realistic, browned characters (planetes) and only watching one episode of the Colorful, cartoony series (Toradora). Next time might be similar: Planetes looks like it's worth watching, but it's a bit dry. Like bread, it must be taken in with something flavorful. Since Haifuri didn't take (Damn you Sprin!), and we nixed Space Pirates since it sounds of similar "quality" to Pacifist-in-a-stupid-situation-to-be-a-pacifist-and-also-NO-PANTS-EVER-HEYOOO, better known by the acronym Strike Witches, Toradora will fill that gap.

Thanks for the recs though, Culise. We both appreciate the help.  :)
