Mobile Suit Gundam Seed HD Remaster

Im supposed to be watching the entire Gundam main timeline soon and am not sure if this is part of it so maybe.

Recorder to Randoseru

Might watch depending on others opinion

Nichjou

No idea what this is or which version will be better so maybe.

Rinne no Lagrange

Will probably watch depending on others opinions.

Mourestu Pirates

Description didn't tell me enough so maybe.

Aquarion EVOL

Never saw first series but I might watch both eventually.

Gokujyo

Might watch eventually

By the way I am still accepting friend requests on this new and improved account but just be prepared to be hounded about not watching all of the top 30 anime, watching unfinished anime, giving incorrect scores to anime I haven't seen yet, eating the wrong food for breakfast tomorrow, etc

I am waching 4 ongoing anime.

Then again 3 of them are shounens

New and improved right-ups solely for Mac


Busou Chuugakeusei Basketarmy

3 minutes every 2 months means i would probably forget all about this by the second episode.

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes 2

Will probably watch the first and second season sometime after this finishes because it has cute girls doing magical detective work which vaguely reminds me of Hidan no Aria which is of course a great anime.

Zero no Tsukaima F

Good chance I will watch this as it airs because I enjoyed the prequels and it has cute girls.

Another

Looks slightly mysterious and I am afraid of cute girl ghosts because they might not live at the end which means I might or might not watch this sometime in the distant or not so distant future.

Kill me Baby

Greatly reminds me of Hidan no Aria which is still a great anime and as such I will probably watch this later on.

Brave10
This anime features no cute anime girls and looks action heavy so I will of course have to be recommended this before I watch it.

Ano Natsu de Matteru
This anime looks like it features a cute red head so theres a good chance I will watch it in the future.

all enjoyable though imho. not usual for me!

oh and i caught up on fate/zero and persona 4. whenever there's lack of rider i cry a little.

no clue what i should move onto now that i'm done with sharin. i might cave and finish umienko but it'll probably make me seethe with anger over how horrible it is so meh

you could finish G sen. uhhh there's also shoujo manga with agatha christie in steampunk england aka Shikkoku no Sharnoth.

Or wait for the editing to finish on Steins;gate and play that because it's amazing save for two horrible chapters in the middle (just... ctrl through chapter 7 and 8 there is nothing worthwhile in them)

You're messing with me! You're messing with me, aren't you!?
You're making fun of me, aren't you!? Aren't you!? You definitely are! I'll murder you!

I personally recommend all shows you're iffy about. So add ALL of them to your backlog, chop-chop.

Phi-Brain watched. Man, those 3 hanger-ons are never gonna do anything, are they? Puzzle fever hits everybody! Bromance rekindled! Damn, that Akaitsuki song is stuck in my head again >_>. What, no trinket from Galileo? The church of puzzles. Puzzles don't kill people, people- eh, you know how that goes. The Fool's?

My Little Phineas and Ferb: Summer is Magic!

I personally recommend that if you can't figure out what to watch without being told you should just not watch anime at all.

Kinda curious how you'd like Symphonic Rain. Maybe try that one out.

Dunno what you've read and what you haven't read but if you liked Sharin, G-senjou no Maou is worth a read. I actually preferred it but I seem to be in the minority.

Oh hey guys, what is your opinions on Gundam AGE and Gundam Unicorn?

--
"Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight." - Adam Ant.
"Baby, can you dig your man? He's a righteous man." - Larry Underwood

Objective opinion: Gundam AGE is one of the worst Gundams ever while Gundam Unicorn is one of the best.

--

I like Unicorn (all 2 that I watched), never tried AGE.

Or... was that 3?

Lupin III - Sequel

Lupin III is the best, one of the most legendary groovy anime franchises ever.

For the record, there actually hasn't been a new Lupin III anime series officially announced, though us fans hope there will be one.

The Lupin III we've been seeing mentioned on these anime charts for the past year actually turned out to be the latest of the annual 90 minute TV special movies, Lupin III: Seal of Blood ~Eternal Mermaid~, aired a couple weeks ago. Good stuff check it out folks.

Don't you think, given what he said, that he was talking about that remix of KyoAni's Nichijou into 12 eps that is also on the chart.

If you took the magic battles out of episode 8 it would be a Lifetime movie.

Have fun with that.

The Sleeper hit of the year

episode 8 has Kinzo crying manly tears about a tie clip

it's alright in my book

no misuzu you are the princess

Penguindrum beated. Love that epic sad song that plays several times so much. Cool way to do the ending, with the amusingest of pairings. Main problem with the series was that Shouma felt like a generic harem lead too much of the time - he had his moments, but the rest of the cast was infinitely more interesting. Still, it was a great show overall, if not quite on Utena's level (loved the Utena reference at the end there too). Momoka was an absolutely phenomenal character, one of my favorites of the year.

Let's see, top characters of the year:

1. Momoka
Well, it's kinda spoilers to say why she's so awesome. Suffice it to say that she's the very best type of Jesusy character, 100% awesome in all of her appearances. Kinda reminds me of Jesus Rand. Wish all Jesus types were like this, then I could love them more often. <3

2. Kyouko
Loses some points for not being as cool towards the end of the series, but she's totally freaking awesome anyway, so I can forgive her for that. I absolutely love this sort of aggressiveness, and her dialogue is really entertaining (perhaps moreso due to the Nonaka Ai factor).

3. Homura
I felt like every character in Madoka (except for Kyouko <_<) got way better as the series went along, with Homura being the best example of that. With every episode she got more interesting and we got to see more of her awesome powers/fighting style, resulting in her being just fantastic at the end. Plus her powers make for the funniest fanart <_<

4. Hououin Kyouma
God damn his dialogue is hilarious. Moreso in the VN, but even in the anime he's pretty fabulous, and that takes away from his stupidity as well, which is a nice plus.

5. Yozora
Another one with really funny dialogue. The way she bullies everyone else never really gets old, as she comes up with fun new ways to do it every time. Definitely the highlight of the show - good chance I would've dropped it without her.

6. Yuno
I don't really love Yuno as much as I should considering my preference towards yanderes in general - maybe it's because she has a few too many moe elements, maybe because she's not in the adverse circumstances most others are, maybe it's because of the "WHAT THE F*** moment from the manga - but Yuno is still awesome. Killing everything with extreme prejudice is fantastic, as is her aggressive and generally intelligent way of doing things. She even digs holes like a boss

7. Kaizou
Hmm, maybe I have him a bit too high, but he's still awesome, right from the OP. He believes he's a cyborg, and he has lots of funny moments, plus he's actually pretty competent when it comes to dealing with people, fighting, etc.

8. Kobato
Same as Kyouma, though she gets less screentime so she gets less awesome. Characters who live life with this sort of delusion are all pretty fantastic imo. Shame they're usually less severe or used differently when they're the main girl (like in Denpa Onna or Denpateki). I guess the difference is that those characters don't have the same overwhelming personalities as the ones I like.

9. Roman
I wish she was a main character. Her appearances are all pretty great, and I burst out laughing whenever she turns into the old woman from Glass Mask (wonder how many Sket Dance fans have actually seen Glass Mask...). She's splendidly confident, and really brightens up every scene she's in.

10. Suzuha Amane
Again, mostly spoilers here. Anyway, her storyline is awesome, and then made more awesome by later stuff. She gets several of the best moments in SG. Kinda tempted to read the manga about her.

--
All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

11. Kyouko
Yuru Yuri style. YY failed in most ways, and wasn't that funny in general, except when Kyouko was around. Most of the scenes with her were pretty funny, plus she's a total boss so she was entertaining even when she wasn't funny. Kinda reminds me of Kana from Minami-ke, but better and with even more yuri overtones (though Kana did go for girls earlier on...).

12. Magami and Kaido
Holy crap these guys are badass.

13. Mizuki
From Baby Princess. She had an awesome archaic speaking style and she was really cute. ^_^

14. Meme
The greatest of moms~. Too good as a heroine, so the MC had to be tsundere towards her. She had a fun teasing personality, plus an awesome voice. The episode with her as the protagonist was probably the best episode in the show. Loved her fun and confident attitude even when she was failing.

15. Suzu + Umi
I'd like to put Suzu higher, since she's a heartless mad scientist who does everything in life for s***s and giggles, but she unfortunately doesn't have all that much screentime. Umi's just the opposite - she starts out as an annoying childhood friend loser, but she gets lots of screentime and turns into a super-fun psychopath. Her method for getting Kaizou to like her in the last episode is the best, as is her strategy of overdoing things to the point where no one can say anything anymore. She's a neat combo of cluelessness and self-awareness.

There were a few other greats this year, like Zero Caster and Rider, but I wasn't totally in love with them. Still, quite a fun bunch all in all.
