Anime/Manga not so ultimate otaku Lounge

Tokyo Ghoul season 2 or "Tokyo Ghoul √A" debuted today. Not quite sure what to make of it since I haven't watched the episode yet.

 

I had trouble getting into Tokyo Ghoul, could have been my mood at the time, so I bookmarked where I was (not sure, episode 5 or something).

But am really enjoying Yu Yu Hakusho.

 

Well, it's not for everybody. And it's always nice to have options, just in case. And I'm glad you're enjoying YuYu Hakusho.

 

Whoa whoa whoa. Season two today?! Whelp ill be back in a bit!

 

Episode 394 of Naruto. Does it end? It does not. Now begins another retcon flashback to explain what happened at the chunin exams years ago.

:banghead:

Back to Yu Yu - I'm up to the Demon Tournament, episode 31.

Man alive, Yu Yu Hakusho just does not disappoint!

Every time I think, ok here's the limit for this story, it just winds it up a great big notch!

Reminds me of Hunter x Hunter in that sense.

Really can't say thanks enough for this one!

 

hey guys i was wondering.....with all the Anime we have watched can you guys agree with me that All anime Characters that are supposed to be Japanese (not the Black/Hispanic/Italian ones), don't look Japanese at all.....they for the most part look Caucasian American lol

 

With green, purple, orange, and blue hair - and all of the above for eye colors plus red and yellow.

I think they're just trying to make the characters exotic and fanciful.

And while some go for a Western look for their characters, some of what you see you see with a cultural bias.

I've lived there, and have had a few friends eventually confess that they have trouble at first because Americans and Europeans all look the same, while others roll their eyes at those guys and call them silly. Probably similar to the reactions you'd get locally about telling Japanese apart.

So it's possible that for some of the anime there's a non-Japanese, exotic (Western) influence for the characters, but others, it's not really there and is a matter of viewer perception.

I don't know - just an opinion.

 

Who'd have thought that anime can be a way to discover great music? Case in point: this is used as the ending theme for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - 2nd season.

​

 

Just started watching JoJo, 2012 - Robert E. O. Speedwagon, Poco... - lmao!

 

And don't forget the archnemesis: Dio! Lol

 

OK. So JoJo is like -

The Aztecs killed Kenny!

You bastards!



Good stuff.

 

On the new self-driving car that Google is working with the Germans on to put on the autobahn -

Yeah. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Proof in the following documentary. That's right. Last time we tried this - we got Astro Boy.

I just hope that you are satisfied, Google and Germany and autobahn automatic car people!



Yeah. Old school smackdown on that shizz.

 

OK, caught up on JoJo (and Naruto lol make it stop) and found -

Death Billiards (Madhouse)

It's an ova, watch it first, absolutely, then -

Death Billiards TV (aka Funimation's Death Parade)

The ova was excellent - I'm starting the series.

 

Has this been posted already? Came across it looking for something else...



For the Psycho Pass fan who has everything.

 

How many episodes is Death Billiards/Parade? please be a good 20-30 or a great 12 episode one lol

 

Yeah, no idea - it just started so I think I've only seen about 4.

 

I have a little catching up to do. Let's see: there's JoJo, Tokyo Ghoul and Parasyte to say the least. I'll get around to them though.

EDIT: But strangely enough, I am caught up on Death Parade so far. It should be a solid anime since it's coming from Madhouse.

 

I'm caught up on JoJo, Tokyo Ghoul, eh, I won't knock it, but I didn't get my interest after 5 episodes. I'll probably feel differently when I come back to it later, that's not unusual for me.

 

ohhhh i see it's a new anime

 

Death Billiards, episode 5 - just got really interesting.

Watching Aldnoah.Zero on my TV - watching the first episode, looks intriguing.

EDIT -

Several episodes in - Aldnoah.Zero is definitely not the usual lousy mecha - it's pretty good!

 

Dang. Up to date on all of my series.

Going to try Melody of Oblivion - I don't know...

Gah. Already seen it. Looking... Looking...

OK then, trying K (K-Project).

I don't recall this - interesting opening!

Anyone seen this? Any good?

Never mind - it was pretty good the first time I watched it. Or maybe I haven't but it seems like it. Lmao, I can't keep up with myself.

 

did you guys see the Gaara vs Toph death battle?
