There's an OVA coming up. I'd wait until that's done before hoping for a third season.

And yeah, Darker than Black is awesome.. it kind of lives up to its title, though.

[Hawkfrost]

Hawkfrost?
What is Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei?
I thought this anime ended or something.
And now I face a site that has this in "Currently airing anime"
  what's going on?

Zan is the third season(which I get will get back to finishing sometime).
Why did you think it ended? Sensei fails them every year, so they have to keep staying in his class.

[Rooster]

He just loves them so much, right?

I watched quite a bit of Bakugon (It is on my television station) and wow is it horrible.

The major problem with that show, ignoring plot and characterisation as well as the marginalisation of several characters, is that they don't even have a hint of strategy involved in any of the duels ignoring what 2?

Worse yet is they often make up rules to stop strategic wins. So all battles are really about the last Bakugon and the 5 cards that you know are comming.

Watching Bakugon makes Yu-Gi-Oh look like the greatest anime ever by comparison. HECK it makes the Yu-Gi-Oh Spin-offs (GX, Dragon Force) look amazing, and that is saying something.

I really got to stop watching what television puts infront of me... I already watched Bedamon and that other card game with mostly poor animation, bad comedy, and bad voice acting.

Unfortunately, my nephew's in love with Bakugan. If anything, the toys are fun to play around with, but I never really watched the show. I don't bother with anything 4kids related. They put censorship and so forth up to 11, and make any possibly good show make less sense than the concept originally intended.

I think I remember seeing articles (or tropes) relating to such twisted extents of censoring. Back in my day, we used to watch guys with energy beams capture ghosts; human-sized turtles armed to the teeth with ninja weapons beat the crap out of mutated creatures, and legions of other ninja; a gluttonous cat ragging on a schizophrenic owner, his dog, and a kitten; and so on and so forth. That was what we called a Saturday morning. These days, it's a joke.

And Kirby, even if it is mutilated by 4Kids, and always has been.

I actually like Yu-gi-og! spin offs.
You see in fact Yu-gi-oh! might have had an interesting plot and all, but the way the dueled made no sense, and I know cause I'm a card game nerd.
When it comes to 5D's things get really interesting, and that's actually a good anime to watch, but of course thereare so many others.

btw, I'm dissapointed with where Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is going. I've seen more perverted anime than that, I've seen funnier anime than that, but the first series was really something.
Now it's not about universal comedy, but japanese mockery of their culture.
I can see how that would be good, but they simply stopped putting jokes about his suicide, and that makes me sad.

[Hawkfrost]

I know right?!
The suicide attempts were the best part.

I still consider it a really good show though, and well worth watching.

I hate Anime. I only like Cowboy Bebop. That's it.

[Micro102]

You like cowboy bebop but not outlaw star?

This guy also made these, try those.

I miss the days when Saturday morning TV was actually worth watching.

Well the worst "Game" Anime I've seen was for Bikes (Not the motor cycle kind)

The WORST episode in that anime? Definately when they defeated a Vampire who had the upper hand by challenging him to a bike race and then killing him somehow. Worse yet is the Vampire magically created a bike and clothing so he looked EXACTLY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! What is the point of a vampire cyclist if you cover him up?

I just got done watching the first TTGL movie, and I won't spoil anything, because even though it's just the series' plot compressed into movie form there's quite few significant changes.

Well, SOME things are changed, but the majority of it is unchanged. Now, when I say unchanged, I mean that literally, NOTHING is changed. They use the same script, the same dialogue, even the EXACT SAME animation, tore right out of the series' episodes and then chopped up to fit into the movie. Hell, when we're shown a montage of all the boring-but-still-plot-important episodes, they didn't even fix up the SHITTY animation from episode 4! Hell, they even showed the scenes out of order! It looked like I was in for some major disappointment when I was two thirds of the way in, and nothing awesome had happened yet... and then the scene where Nia was facing down Adiane rolled around, and then the movie kicks it into high gear so fucking fast that your head is spinning. I mean it, that was a STUNNING change of pace that really defied my expectations.

I still think they could've done better, but they left the movie on a cliffhanger, and now I got to get the SECOND movie!

So, to sum up my feelings:

"That's a neat beginning, what a good draw in! Way different from the series. Alright, starting... seen it. Rehashed. Reused. Boring. Lame... Wait... what the... HOLY SHIT THAT'S AWESOME! Wait, the movies over!? I need to see the second one!"

Goddamn I'm a sucker.

[userpay]

I started to watch the movie and when I relized it was just rehashed episodes I stopped watching it. pm or spoiler the changes they made?

[JoshuaFH]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After picking up Nia, her, Yoko, and Simon combine two scenes into one. The "I'm making statues of Kamina" scene, and the "Are you lecturing us?!" scene into one part, and then the part where Adiane (the elegant) summons the oceans and lands on the Dai-gunzen. This is the part in the series where Nia would tell her to go away, and Adiane WOULD if she didn't know that Nia was disposed of. However, Adiane is already aware of Nia's situation, and not only that, but the other 2 generals, Cytomander and Guame, suddenly appear out of nowhere, as well as Viral with a NEW Dai-gunzen II! Then an epic battle between all the generals takes place (where, in the series, they'd be fighting them one at a time), and this scene also combines Simon's emotional recovering and triumphant comeback. Yoko plays a much bigger part in the battle in a hand to hand fight with a whole mess of beastmen, including Adiane. Also, all the generals' special giant ships combine into one. It's so awesome that you seriously have to ask why they wasted time rehashing the earlier episodes if they could do stuff this cool?

However, the second movie... I just... can't... FIND IT!!!
