Animes to watch?

[Mandalay]

and Highschool DxD is just a lot of boobies.

Quoted for truth.

The anime itself isn't great but it is entertaining. Kind of like Michael Bay films.

Do not watch an anime that has more episodes than you can live in years. Unless you're addicted to it.

Prime Example: One Piece a pomegranate cause it's over 600 episodes. Bleach has more than 200, naruto has more than 400. Etc etc you get the idea. Except Beserker or

Was not planning on it. I would never catch up, and I hate filler (which is why I dropped Naruto).

Does anyone ever read Light/Graphic Novels? Im thinking about reading SAO's since it goes on much farther than the anime.

Make sure to read 16.5. And SAO's Light Novel is 99x better than the anime.

>16.5

oh u

Though Derosis is right, the light novel is light years better than the anime. Although I still quite liked the anime myself. Most light novels are much better than their anime and/or manga counterparts, but you're not going to find very many light novels that are completely translated, or even partially translated. Baka-tsuki is a great site, but it tends not to really have much in the way of full translations.

Also, if you plan on reading the SAO LN translations, do so soon. Baka-tsuki is removing their page once Yen Press releases them in English.

Ah, I have been using Baka-tsuki to read oreim. Do you know when they will be removing SAO? I might just download or copy it if its soon.

No release date has been announced yet, just "early 2014".

Anyone can say that, it's someone who can back it up I'm having trouble meeting

Amen bro.

well.... let's see...

If you're looking for just a bit of odd but good humor:

Seto no Hanayome

Description:

Teenage boy rescues mermaid during summer break. Mermaid law states that one of the two must be killed if a human discovers a mermaid. Mermaid will not allow boy to be killed so the family decides that they should marry to get around law. Oh yeah, mermaid's family is a mafia. Mafia dad constantly wants to kill new son-in-law.

Great and quirky slice of life. Lots of comedy. Good amount of action... almost all of which is comedic.


Picture:
main character at top right, mermaid girl at bottom left. Her dad is to her bottom right...

Next is:

Bit more action... but all lighthearted. Two seasons. Available for free on crunchyroll (with ads bypassable via ad-block plus).

dog days

Description:

Boy is transported from Japan to the world of Flonyard to help the dog-people (see picture) fight a war against the cat-people (infer based on dog-person in picture). The war is not what it seems(?) in a funny way. Watch at least until the second episode to understand what that means.

Picture:
dog-princess + main character

I'll leave it at those two for now. If you find something you like/dislike about these, feedback will help me to better tailor my searches through my archives for anime that might fit you.

I read the Index novels.

I've only read chapter 16.5 from SAO.

Try.

and Highschool DxD is just a lot of boobies

Not true.
That was my impression after watching the first episode, but Highschool DxD actually has a really good plot, and a really good cast of characters. Sure it can be pretty heavy on the fanservice, but it's mostly done for comedy and doesn't detract from the plot much.

I guess I'll actually have to lean towards this, with it making to New and everything.

This is very true.

Actual spoilers

This is especially true after volume 5 of the novels where character development and plot become a much heavier focus when we're introduced to stuff such as the underworld, ranks of devils in detail, rest of the world(Other gods and stuff such as odin) and more rating games the story never becomes too serious though(Staying primarily on the comedy side of things) and it becomes especially funny when issei summons the boob god and learns how to talk to boobs, literally.

Try.

How many times now has it been since Eiichiro Oda has been hospitalized for working on this manga? Twice I think?

At the rate his fans want more of his work, and he loves producing it, which isn't a bad thing, don't you think his health will default at this rate and with the longevity of his anime it might end before it's due time?

I mean hell it's been going on nearly 20 years. I think theres only one other anime I can think of that had this long of a history.

...How exactly does that point to a pomegranate anime? Even if he was to die tomorrow, there's currently 16 people who cannot only draw it, but have access to the entire story. The illness isn't even anything to worry about because he got some nasty throat infection that simply persisted.

Yeah, 20 years of growth, but it takes you less than a month to read. I say that because by the time you're through the chapter with chopper you're WANTING to catch up. How many anime's do you also know about that have books written by uni professors trying to figure out why it's so successful?

If you want to a quick short story, that's fine but one piece is it's own novel, a story you grow with, that you get attached too because of the detailed world building that no other manga even compares. It has this light hearted attitude with spikes of bad assery, where the philosophies they throw at you, such as slavery, world government corruption, the meaning of freedom, don't make you think, they make you feel those view points. The best way to describe it, Goku was a naturally naive/silly protagonist, although luffy has that same nature, he has this more instinctual method of pushing his emotions. He doesn't try to justify his goals beyond short term simplicity. He doesn't have to give any long speeche's, just quick short liners about how he just has to kick your ass.

Then One Piece doesn't deal with silly romantic tensions, they don't deal with the morality of whether they kill their enemy. When they defeat them, they break them, they break their ideology, they don't have to take their life, which brings so much depth to so many characters. It isn't "Oh, this isn't my final form" each villain has an advantage to his own, one that isn't simply "I over power you". It adds even more depth to the combat, even the female's in one piece aren't useless, in fact Robin is pretty goddamn broken.

But the one thing I love about one piece the most, is the foreshadowing. The ultimate goal is to become pirate king, yet a battle, 100x greater than even the Whitebeard war, at the summit, where luffy's strongest ability is turning everyone around him friends. Where usopps lies turn into truth throughout their adventures, how the void century is the key to it all, and lastly, that there is no good or evil, just freedom and peoples perspective to honor it. Ultimately, luffy doesn't want to conquer the world, he doesn't want riches, he just wants to say "I'm the Pirate King, and I can do what I want".
