Anime @4-ch

Anyone else been watching haruhi-chan at: http://www.youtube.com/user/KADOKAWAanime?

Yea it's like not funny at all. Haruhi was alright but a joke compared to Raki Suta.

Aw shit, now you've done it. They're going to be at your door any minute now.

huh what and who

H-ism followers.

>>337
i have but the thing that sucks is kadokawa deletes an episode after like a week its up i get the deleted ones from http://www.anivide.com/index.html?cid=817 i think nagatos the best specialy in the spin offs becuz she reminds me of konata from lucky star

Endless Eight should finish up go and fall in a hole already. Damn, looping thing is drinving me insane. D:

>>343
Luckily for you, it has. But it's a good ending.

IT'S FINAL-FUCKING-LY DONE! Geez, sitting through 8 episodes of the same god damn thing over and over again sure was hell, but once that ending came it felt like a giant weight was lifted off your shoulders. We're free of the horrid Endless Eight arc! Hurray! Rejoice!

Also, it's awesome that I guessed right. I knew homework was the answer! Glad I didn't let any of the other subtle hints - like that aeroplane - deviate me from my originally correct assumption. Ego +1.

i,jpn, saw the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya today.
i hope you can see this movie which is worth seeing sooner.
but i dont know when you see this movie in a future.

for your refference

07-Ghost is a great anime (my favorite anime/manga) & totally slashable. It's not listed as shounen ai but the hints are DEFINATELY there and it's so obvious.
I also recommend Junjou Romantica.
Also, if you run out of animes to watch, you can always search up a bunch of shounen ai/yaoi mangas to read. There are SO MANY good ones out there (and a couple of terrible ones here and there) and are as entertaining as animes. ^-^

Gundam 00

my favorite one is Loveless, because its not graphic. i would have liked junjo romantica, if it didnt have so much, uh, you know what i mean. ._.
i also loved Gravitation. :D it was my first shonen-ai anime, and the reason i watched it was because one of my friends was really into it. XD
now im really into it!

Piano no Mori

I like boys kissing lol but girls are hella nasty
umm my recommendations are ones that have either not been listed or not enough, they are however more shonen ai hints more than anything though

Kuroshitsuji (black butler) one of my fav anime's ever and i think they totally got their moments <3 (there is a gay dude in it too but it is funny and sad i love it)

07 ghost -serious hints, lots of hugging, no graphic though

Monochrome Factor -good but kinda gets repetative

and another fav of mine is Junjou Romantica -it has parts but doesn't show their parts u just kinda gotta figure, the manga however makes sure u know whats happening haha

Hetalia Axis Powers

duh!

Post here things that you are 100% sure will never hit the TV screen [...]

Vampire Yui

>>100
Eh, you might've watched the series in two sittings. The usual television audience didn't.

>>100
More like the director ran out of ideas on how they could rape the original story.

No, the flashbacks were from the same episode (24), at a pretty critical moment. Eh, a minor flaw I guess. But still annoying.

Guess it was hinted from the beggining there was something horrible about Misaki's past and the climax of NHK is so random, bvut at the same time very appropriate.

Where can i get the OST?

I'm not sure this is against the rules but I could give you a link if you provide an email address otherwise you may be out luck here

>>107 Thanks, but already found it.. :3
First i looked for torrent, then i wanted to buy it directly, but no sources there also. Then by accident i finally found something..

>>9 Ah no, it's not SHAFT, it's SILVER LINK.
Last major production was "Tayutama -Kiss on my Deity-"... Mh.

Dance in the Vampire Bund 01
The entire first episode was a pseudo-episode of a game show debating about whether vampires exist or not. Then vampires show up and wreak the show.

Vampires.

Okay, this one is actually from SHAFT. Good for a few minutes, then it turns ugly, then quite boring for most of the time, then it finally picks up some speed... but then it just ends. I don't know, this episode has probably no relation to the actual anime besides being an introduction.

Omamori Himari 01
The story revolves around a boy who has a unique bodyguard: a sword-bearing catgirl spirit to ward demons away.

Demon slayers and humans.

Cute, but I seem to have seen this before? Oh yes there was a manga... Did that manga even go somewhere with a real plot? No, I think it was mostly ecchi situations... The anime seems to go the same way. Standard shounen, standard trite dialogs, standard ecchi situations, it's a bit tiredsome if one has seen those before a few hundred times. I'm not sure I'm going to keep an interest.

Ookamikakushi - 01
A 16 year old boy, Hiroshi Kuzumi, has recently moved into a new town in the mountains. The town is separated into new and old streets by the river, and many mysterious local cultures still remain. Although confused and enjoying his new life, one person kept her distance from him: class committee member Kushinada Nemura. In their few encounters she gave him a word of advice: "Stay away from the old streets."

Animated visual novel, school life, supernatural.

This is a hodgepodge, with a disabled little sister, a yandere stalking cute tomboy, a vanishing harrassing classmate, a tsundere bossy classmate, a masked girl with a scythe, etc., etc.
I dunno, at one point I stopped paying attention to the story... Maybe because those blurry effects "for realism" annoyed me? Or is it because it looks like they are trying to appeal to too many things without any real focus? I haven't the foggiest...

Durarara 01
Ryu-gamine Mikado is a young man who longs for the exciting life of the big city. At the invitation of his childhood friend Masaomi, he transfers to a school in Ikebukuro. Masaomi warns him about people he doesn't want to cross in the city: a violent man dressed like a bartender, an information merchant, and a mysterious gang called "Dollars". And to top it off, Mikado witnesses an urban legend on his first day in the city: the Headless Rider astride a black motorcycle.

The legends of Ikebukuro.

Not bad. The OP song was horrible, and they were blabbing for a long part of the episode, but when the action kicked in, it was interesting.

Hanamaru Kindergarten - 01
The story follows Tsuchida's first day at his first job as a kindergarten teacher. He meets Anzu, a cute little kindergartener, who probably has been watching too many dramas and thinks he's hitting on her. He arrives at the school to find that he's the only guy teacher (apparently male kindergarten teachers are very rare in Japan) amongst the all-female staff, including the especially pretty Yamamoto - a co-worker he instantly takes a liking too. And also happens to meet his old high school senpai, who happens to be Anzu's mother. Oh, and Anzu proposes marriage to Tsuchi, and her mother approves.

Slice of life as a teacher in a kindergarten.

Cute, well animated, and well done.
Then why did I fall asleep after 10 minutes of watching? Is it because it's too perfect and syrupy to be believable? Or is it because nothing of importance ever happen?
Let's see.... Wiki says "It is mainly about a kindergarten girl who is in love with her teacher and tries to win his affection but always fails."
I dunno...

Seems to me like Hanamaru is really the toddlercon version of Kodomo no Jikan.

I disagree about Durarara's OP being horrible. I thought the animation was interesting and the song fit the series.

Dance in the Vampire Bund 02
Ok, most of the episode was filler, with crap like real life scenery (??), and then a quick action scene at the end that didn't really fill me up, it was weakly patched together. It was not bad but it was not great either.
Some parts were well animated but they were sparse.
As for that vampire child... she was super-powerful in ep1, and now she is nearly powerless in front of the monster-of-the-week and had to be rescued? It didn't make sense, so I checked the manga for an explanation, and lo and behold, all that transforming monster stuff is not in the manga!
It doesn't bode well for the rest of the series....

Katanagatari 01
A girl named Togame arrives on the island where Shichika and his sister lives with a favor to ask from him. She tells him that she is on a mission to find and collect the final twelve swords forged by a master swordsmith and she needs his help.

(Semi-)animated light novel.

50 minutes for 12 "talking" episodes? Ouch.
Anyway, the art is ok, but... The music doesn't fit at times. The directing of the scenes is unpolished at times.
And a kind of a weak voice acting, it sounds like a recitation at times. All this talking breaks the rule of "show the action, don't just talk about it". If the art is minimalist then use it for action; if the action is minimalist then improve the art. But both were minimalist, so where did the extra care went to? In the swords that got flashed on screen a couple of times? Meh.
It's not dull, but it's lackluster.

Onegai Sensei
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (or Hantsuki)
I'd say Skip Beat too but I preferred the manga
And if you watched Kanon you have to watch Clannad!
Itazura na Kiss: great romance that follows them into adulthood ;D
True Tears is also very good.

NeoGenesis Evangelion

kanokon, and I don't believe i should have shame in saying it. :3

Ryokunohara Meikyuu

Clannad and Clannad Afterstory. Hatsukoi limited is also recommended.

Oh,4ch....

Christmas in January

Still no reason to make a character based on an Asian legend white

>>21
So every movie that's made in Asia that's based on a Western story must now be made with white actors?
Every Western remake of a Japanese horror flick must now be made with Asian actors?

>>22 No if theres a disconnection of culture and storyline.

YES IF ITS FREAKIN FICTION! GAAAH! Goku is losely based off of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West for crying out loud.

sigh first Dragonball... next Avatar >_>

I've been a Dragonball fan since kindergarten and I hated DB Evolution. But it wasn't really the casting that I had a problem with, besides the fact that none of them seemed to know what any of their characters were supposed to act like...

Except Piccolo and Yamcha.... They at least tried...

My problem was the writer. It's like he saw a commercial for DBZ and decided to write a movie based on that tiny scrap of exposure. It had none of the charm the old Dragonball had.

And Piccolo's makeup job was horrendous. I've seen regular fans do better.

My dragon balls are huge, seriously.

Does anyone read Journey to the west ?
I'm Asian and read both Western and Eastern novel such as Lord of the Ring and Three kingdom! But's seem that western people dont enjoy Asia novel?
Many manga base on them!

Not many people around these parts seem to know about Tove Jansson

I've read Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's quite hard to get hold of Eastern novels over here. The only reason I have a copy of ROTK is because I found a textbook for asian studies sold at the British Museum (I also found an online copy once). I really want to read Journey to the West, I just never had the chance.

>>27
Tove Jansson? The author of the Moomin books?
I grew up with the animated adaptations, I loved it!
I think most people here are American though, and I don't think the Moomins were ever popular there, just Europe, Japan and Russia.

They are not any popular to America. All those book stores I went into never had anything Moomin on stock, let alone any other work she has written. It depresses me a little, but on the bright side you could find all the works our Beatrix Potter in a nice box set
