Raziel Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 So, GARO's only on Funimation. How bad are the ads, since I'm not getting another account for another anime site, especially one that won't work on my PS3. And, I assume fansub is the only way I can watch Reconguista in G, right?

Can't say but there's a few groups that are still fan subbing it anyways if you want to go that route. I've been watching it via the horriblesubs (fansub group) releases that are popping up on Nyaa. Pretty quick turn around of usually just 1 or 2 days. I think people are putting them up on youtube too if you wanna go the streaming route instead.

dogwelder Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 WhyNot's doing GARO. Sage is/was doing G-Reco, but they haven't put out a new fansub in weeks, supposedly because of computer problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can watch GARO on hulu which can be seen on the PS3. That is how I've been watching it though It is a week behind. Doesn't bother me much because I was already due to other stuff I've been watching. And yes on Reconguista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Got a 2 week trial for Crunchyroll and I'm loving Survival Game Club. Since it's getting a Funi dub though, I think I'll just wait until then to marathon it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaldo Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have to say that I really enjoyed Helsing Unlimited. The characters and animation were both very well done with enough WTF moments to make it worth watching a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much, much, much better than the other survival game club show from last year (Stella Woman's Academy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 On an anime kick. Planning to watch several shorter shows, then start marathoning either Bleach or Inu/yasha. Not really a fan of fighting shows that go on for a few hundred eps. but I mostly enjoy both shows and have never seen the end arcs of either. I marathoned InuYasha before Final Act came out, so I've never watched Final Act even though I own it. Same deal with Bleach. I marathoned it awhile back, when they'd only dubbed 190 episodes. Started watching a fansub when I ran out of English dubs, but tapped out about ep, 310. By the time I got to the end of the Aizen arc, it'd become a slog. Still haven't watched the last two arcs. Watching Sword Art Online. Not digging it so far (7 episodes in), but I'll stick with it. There seems to be no real sense of urgency about how much real world time is passing while they're trapped in the game, or about the (large) number of people who have died thus far. Reminds me a lot of .hack//sign, but I liked .hack a lot more after seven episodes. K/K-Project is next up. May finally watch all the Darker than Black series after that.

TheVileOne Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Started watching the Ghost in the Shell: Arise OVAs. I was kind of putting them off. I had some trepidation for the new animation because I had grown quite fond of Stand Alone Complex. Arise isn't bad so far. Rather than a prequel, I just see it as a total reboot AU of the story. I still prefer the interpretation of the characters that was in Stand Alone Complex, but Arise at least deals with the characters in interesting new ways. For example, Kusanagi dealing with the fact that her body is the property of the government, and they regulate her every move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APO Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Caught up with Gundam Build Fighters Try. While I hate that the schools are involved, at least Sekai, Hoshino, and Sekai's sister are interesting and fun enough to disregard it. Also, Ral is still fucking aces. Wish they'd line up a real good fight for him in this series since we got denied that last time due to Fellini turning Reiji into an absolute beast so quickly.

Reminds me a lot of .hack//sign, but I liked .hack a lot more after seven episodes. It gets addressed, but part of SAO's 1st arc issues are that it took a while to address Some of the larger issues, and they didn't do a real good job pushing that this particular MMO was harder than anything else, and people are gunshy about jumping into stuff because of the perm-death. (ie, in a normal MMO, all 100 floors would've been cleared by now because Bosses would've been rushed, because who cares about dying?) That said, if you don't like the first arc, the second will be real hard to get through. But the GGO arc is great. So, I'm watching Log Horizon, which is another "Trapped in an MMO" show. My only real issue with it 8 episodes in is that no one really seems concerned to figure out why they're trapped. But no perm deaths and a bigger cast.

dogwelder Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah, that's a problem with Log Horizon, and it continues in season 2. I really like it, especially the opening, but a lot of the later episodes seems to boil down to Shiro out-thinking everyone while not even really trying to figure out what's actually going on.

Eivion Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Log Horizon isn't about getting out so much as trying to living in the new world. If you were expecting the same plot you got from SAO you will be disappointed. I like both shows quite a bit myself and am happy they are so different in that regard.

TheVileOne Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 After watching the first two episodes of Arise, not sure that I like it at this point. It's only four episodes so I will probably stick around for the last two, but the second episode was just a mess of storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIK Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Up through ep 43 of FOTNS, the furthest i've ever made it in any of my attempts to watch the series. Behind all the over the top violence there really is a great story to be had. Also...happy he never ended up fighting Rei and Kenshiro has a posse now.

Patrick B. Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Gonna check out Cowboy Bebop soon, hard to believe I've never watched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 You never watched Cowboy Beebop? Get thee to somewhere to watch it now!. Then watch Outlaw Star. Not as good a Beebop, but plenty fun for another Space Cowboy show that came out the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I actually enjoyed Outlaw Star more than Cowboy Bebop, for what it's worth. Though I think Bebop is actually the better show from a technical standpoint. In current anime, I've given up on Sword Art Online after not watching an ep since sometime last week. Just. Don't. Care. It goes back on the pile. I'll watch it eventually, but not for awhile. Will probably start K/K-Project tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 So the people who brought you Beyblade have decided to ruin Gatchaman I fear for all humanity James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 So I've found that I really enjoy Log Horizon much more than Sword Art Online. I think its because of the different dynamic of the characters (and I think Kirito's Harem got old after a bit). Yeah, the Log Horizon characters are more dynamic and entertaining than the SAO ones. And Lord of Light was this last episode of Akame ga Kill! fucking depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hm. Hard to go back to Battle of the Planets after discovering the real Gatchaman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Its official. Akame ga Kill! is the Game of Thrones of Anime. But holy shit these last couple episodes. And I'm sad that its over next week. EDIT: And I made a great call the past few weeks to watch Fairy Tail *AFTER* Akame ga Kill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 So... I innocently started watching InuYasha: the Final Act via Adult Swim's On Demand channel. Then it dawned on me that I had never watched TFA even though I own it. Then I remembered that I had probably never finished the original InuYasha series (tapped out somewhere around ep 136). So, yeah, I'm now marathoning InuYasha from the beginning. Not sure what the deal is with this show. I'm never really thought it was an exceptional show and I'm not a fan of the genre (or of the "let's keep the show going for hundreds of episodes" movement. 26-60 episodes is a good length for an anime). But I find InuYasha compulsively watchable. Hmm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
