It's because James has friends, Ash has Pokémon. Which would you rather have if you were a Poke?

So I watched the first episode of Kino's Journey. Thought it was great. It's a very interesting and thought provoking episode. Looking forward to the rest of the series now (shame it's only 13 episodes long)

Even better, I just got my copy of the Madoka Magica movie blu-rays. Expensive, but I love madoka.Serious_Much wrote:So I watched the first episode of Kino's Journey. Thought it was great.

Oh, it's a special occasion for Madoka. Hoping it becomes more and more popular in the states.

They've made movies along with the TV series. I've not seen them myself but I've read there's supposed to be 3 total, with the first 2 covering the same stuff as the series while the third expands a bit further on the story.Serious_Much wrote:paying for tv series?

I'd buy them myself if I wasn't flat broke...

ok, then watch Fate/zero. You will fall in love even if people over hype that.

If you've heard things, I can say you won't be. I'd heard things. I was surprised at how much better than my expectations it was, and that was after my expectations had been set ridiculously high by what I'd heard.Serious_Much wrote:never watched madoka.. it's one of those things i've heard too much about so i know ill get disappointed
It goes beyond just being a good series. If you ask me, it's a series that, if you like anime, you need to have seen. I regret it taking me as long as I did to see it. It's not called "the Evangelion of the Magical Girl genre" lightly.
EDIT: Glad you liked the start of Kino's Journey. The first few episodes really are quite good, eh?

And Evangelion was mostly just a bunch of random symbolism and ideals, put together in one package in hopes of hitting it big.
But FATE ZERO
It's packed with spectacle, Top-Tier, and made by the same person who made Madoka as well.
And sadly I have to keep taking breaks from Madoka, because I have a headache.

Whether you like it or not, you can't deny it's a landmark in anime history.Serious_Much wrote:Did I mention I despise evangelion? haha

It's also one of the few examples of a deconstruction series done perfectly. I relate to the mecha-hate, but the main reason I like Evangelion is because of just how much it trashes on the mech genre.
Again, if all you're worried about is that you'll be disappointed, don't be. Madoka Magica is something you need to at least try. The worst that'll happen is that you're right and you just stop watching and chock it up to "over-hyped." Or it could prove you wrong.
One thing I can guarantee you...there's no mechs in it

And perfect deconstruction, School Days, it does the harem genre shame, but yet something of pride.

To me having giant robots trudging around detracts from the serious message of it. It's not my kinda thing
Ill stick to kino for now though, I'm into things with subtext at the minute- only just finished battle star galactica lol
Also I don't get how that anime clip was meant to impress stray- it was just actiony anime..

Oh it also has some of the most thrilling storytelling I've seen, and is highly thought of as an amazing show. It's so definitely worth a watch.

Not enough to make the series a mech series. It's just a bad guy who's quirk that sets it apart from the other bad guys happens to be that it's mechnicalSoul of Stray Demon wrote:You don't consider Walpurgis a mech?

Never seen School Days, and don't really plan to. I've been negatively predisposed by this one reviewer I follow rather closely. I seem to agree with almost all the assessments he's made about certain series (and got my recent "backlog" by following series he recommended to his audience) and...let's just say School Days is a running gag in his reviews. Since I've agreed both positively and negatively on just about everything I watched from him, I don't think I'll be going to the series he uses as a universal standard for terrible anime experiences anytime soon.
