(+) Yeah! (+)

On that note, dropped Zetman. It's not bad but I've heard it's been a pretty bad adaptation so I'll read the manga in like ten years or something.

also part of the will likely drop Zetman crowd here. things are moving too fast with not much of me caring of anything going on. i liked the show when he was 10 a lot more than how he is now. went from spunky fun kid to overly serious adult.

that said, Jormungand so good. fantastic OP by Mami? check. fantastic lead? check. guns? check.

Haiyoru! Nyaruko-san

Question, as I'm too lazy to look at the list again to check, is this a sequel of something and/or make references that I won't know? Because it appears that it's becoming an anime I have to add.

Speaking of which, my updates (Currently just the two I went after in the first place):

Fate/Zero 2: This one has taken the fights that it had in the first season and just shot up a level. Ending makes me want backstory of the love interest between Kiritsugu and Irisviel though, which annoys me that I do.

Eureka 7 Ao: I will tell the truth, I'm not liking it off of only one ep. I had bias originally of the art in the first series, but got over it. Now I seem to have bias over what appears to be the storyline in this one. May take a couple eps before actual story kicks in and lets me settle to like it though.

I plan to add Space Bros due to the attitude of my fellow people, but didn't read enough of the others, what else shall I be recommended?

there were two previous Nyarlko anime but they were both flash series that nobody watched (edit: nobody except me lmao). I don't think they relate to the main series since they were just random humor sketches.

lmfao and i have it like at the very bottom of my rankings.

I just didn't find it very entertaining. It's not really moeblob enough (based on the first episode) and we were kinda just tossed in some random teenage girl drama I care nothing about since i didn't care about the characters at that point. So it wasn't relaxing or moe. At least like tamayura hitose or whatever it was (while a sleeper... literally) had a nice feel to it.

Accel World

Only thing I might drop is Accel World. Show is seriously awful. Sphere anime is kind of dumb but I feel compelled to keep watching it. Nothing really to be said about Zombie; it's pretty much what's to be expected of more Zombie. AO seems fine but I'm sure BONES will BONES it by the end.

The undead, alien, or other otherwise abnormal girlfriend shows are all very good. It's more of a matter of being very well... produced, I guess? Directed? They make for enjoyable and entertaining viewing.

Didn't like the second episode of Nyaruko nearly as much as the first but it was still alright. Seems like this show will live and die with the titular character. When she's doing her thing it's incredible, but when when the focus shifts elsewhere it kind of drags. Whenever Nyaruko's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Nyaruko?

Everyone loves Spacebros and Tsuritama, and the masterpiece of the season will finally air in a few days.

Finished Persona. It wasn't as awesome as it seemed like it was going to be but it was still enjoyable and mostly a faithful adaptation. Unfortunately, rushing literally every single instance of character development didn't do it any favors and made it hard to get as invested in it. It didn't really retain the awesome group dynamic of the game either.

ow well

Oh and, Yu was pretty awesome in most comedy scenes but him being a total mary sue kind of made some of the serious stuff worse. I mean there's not much else you can do with a silent protagonist I guess but eh.

Yeah, same really. I liked what they did with the minor links but it was kind of annoying for example how Nanako and Dojima get next to no focus until like episode 20 where all of their link stuff happens. And it's not even like half of the stuff from the game, at that.

I was thinking about this earlier since I don't think most people I talk to from here have rewatched many series before. Is there anyone out there who has secretly seen something like a billion times. These are all the things I've rewatched at some point

Clannad – five times
TTGL – three times and the movies like a billion times
Baccano – twice
Digimon Adventure - twice
Bakemonogatari
Code Geass

Fate/stay night
Samurai Champloo

I guess I could count Code Geass and Death Note as two anime series that I rewatched, since I saw both subbed and then again dubbed when they were on adult swim.

--
http://img.imgcake.com/whitelens/gokfriendsjpgym.jpg

rewatched? uh... most of what i've seen twice is either due to 1) dubbing being good, or 2) massive quality improvement.

i mean i've also rewatched stuff like bebop, yyh, and parts of pokemon's earlier seasons because that's what re-runs were for. closest things otherwise go to KNK5 which i've seen a good 4-5 times and the first 4 hellsing ultimates which are at 2-3 each. and when higher quality versions are out, plan to re-watch penguindrum too.

Here's a list of shows I know I've rewatched (not being like randomly seeing it on TV or something)

Lucky Star
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Cowboy Bebop
Escaflowne
Tenchi Universe
Outlaw Star
Trigun
Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040

Well... Like, I own these too (dvd) so I guess you can not count them. It's very rare for me to actually find something to rewatch online.

It's not even lighthearted. Though maybe now it will turn into a zany romcom with a zombie.

Well it covers the last 7 volumes and finishes the plot of the series.

Though it confuses a lot of people with a combination of shifting away from the main characters and setting and the anime in general being a rather rough adaptation so a lot of the changes/omissions/filler catching up and only covering a lot of points and themes broadly.

So the beginning seems to come out of nowhere because the previous seasons didn't include any of the stuff foreshadowing it (like Yuji's conversations with shadow yuji), you have a lot of supporting characters who were previously introduced in short stories that weren't animated like Sophie and the four gods of the earth being introduced all at once without giving any background on them, and it kind of glosses over a lot of backstory and explanations anyway (like Sabrac mentions Mare but it doesn't go into depth about the two, the same with Lamies/Leanne Sidhe's past).

And it would be harder to follow if you haven't seen it in a while.
