Systematic Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hey keyo/keez what's your favorite Ghibli flick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Thanks for the recommendations, L33TWiZaRd! They're really worth the time, then? Kannagi is more slice-of-life comedy than typical shonen, think somewhere between Lucky Star and Minami-ke with a dash of Ah My Goddess for the magical goddess lulz. And the Chaos;HEAd game, have you tried it? no but i hear its FAN-TAB-ULOUS, even more so than the anime (big surprise). but i give props for the anime too, mostly because I was really into Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and I can't be bothered to actively "play" anything unless its a weekend Hey keyo/keez what's your favorite Ghibli flick? Kiki's Delivery Service, with Princess Mononoke for a really close second (because i'm ridiculous like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I like Slice-of-life. I'll try looking for an episode. Honestly, I haven't seen any of those other shows either I kind of try and stay away from anime that *looks to be* stereotypical anime: saucer eyes, high school, bf/gf etc etc. Am I missing something? I love Ranma 1/2 though. I'd already own the box set if there weren't so many damned episodes/seasons. Hey keyo/keez what's your favorite Ghibli flick? ONE? IMPOSSIBLE.. I'll give you 5 instead: Totoro/Spirited Away/Mononoke/Only Yesterday/Whisper of the Heart/Ocean Waves/Lupin 3: Castle of Cagliostro/Laputa... Wait, was that more than 5?

Phoenix Wright Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Heads up. Massive fan here, favourites include: 1) Gintama 2) Aria 3) Skip Beat! 4) Clannad 5) Higurashi no Naku koro ni My sparsely updated anime list, with loads of titles probably forgotten, can be found here. Anyway, what do you guys think of this summer season? I'm really excited by Canaan, Bakemonogatari and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, and NEEDLESS and Princess Lover are average-good shows. Umineko no Naku koro ni has to be the best anime of the season for me, though. Fantastic first three episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Umineko no Naku koro ni is pretty much my top "can't wait for the next episode" series right now, Canaan being second. What's your opinion on Tokyo Magnitude 8.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I went into watching the first episode expecting to be completely underwhelmed (because it's by BONES and they usually make 'meh' titles) but it really surprised me. Artwork/animation was top-notch, as expected, but what really stood out was that the characters seemed to have some real depth to them. It reminded me a lot of Toki wo kakeru Shoujo, for some odd reason. I'd say go ahead and give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeezNah Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 is that in any way related to higurashi ..i loved that series very much! its the third official title that proceeds Koro ni and Kai. won't spoil too much though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoken Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 wtf then wats rei supposed to be...spin off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) very much! its the third official title that proceeds Koro ni and Kai. won't spoil too much though Saying that is a bit misleading though. is that in any way related to higurashi ..i loved that series Yeah mate, it's the new series by Ryukishi07/7th expansion group that made the Higurashi visual novels. With Studio DEEN animating this one as well, you can expect more of the same. It's not a sequel in any way though, completely different setting. Are you guys watching the Higu: Rei OVAs, btw? wtf then wats rei supposed to be...spin off? Higu: Rei is the direct sequel to the Higurashi series. Umineko is a completely new/different one. Think of it like the various Gundam series. Same creators, different story. (poor example, I know) Edited July 17, 2009 by Phoenix Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoken Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 ok now am confused ...i'll just watch both to see wat it is then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Saying that is a bit misleading though. saying any more would've probably confus- ok now am confused ... yeah Are you guys watching the Higu: Rei OVAs, btw? *thumbs up* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Haha, guilty as charged. I loved the 3rd OVA, watching the chair scene just made me glee so much. Hate Satoko with a passion, that emo loli bitch. Maria (goth-loli yandere bitch) is so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33TWiZaRd Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Never got around to watching Higurashi. I wonder why My Favourite Ghibli movies include: Princess Mononoke Spirited Away Howl's Moving Castle Kikis Delivery Service Nausicaa My Neighbor Totoro Laputa - Castle in the Sky I guess that's quite a lot of them. But then all of them are so f**king awesome. Hard to pick just one out of the lot. Natsume Yuujinchou and Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou. Has anyone seen this. I love this anime so much. I can't figure out why. Here is another anime recommendation from me Sword of the Stranger. And as always get the Thora Release for this movie. It might be tagged Yoroshiku-THORA.

Here is another anime recommendation from me Sword of the Stranger. And as always get the Thora Release for this movie. It might be tagged Yoroshiku-THORA. I loved both Natsume Yuujinchou seasons. Loved how each and every episode touched your heart, regardless of what happened. If you loved that, you're likely to love Aria as well. Check it out, if you can. And I have no words for how awesome SotS was. Especially at 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Talking up SotS and Bones bashing in the same thread? Whatever next Didn't any of you watch Wolf's Rain or FMA? I hadn't heard of TM 8.0 either so there's an another one I need to check out :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Just went through Srirams list and it looks like you lot and I are a prefecture apart in terms of genre preference. That explains why I'm feeling so left out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Talking up SotS and Bones bashing in the same thread? Whatever next Haha, to be fair I wanted to say they make 'meh' series, and not movies. Most of their series' endings suck, and they just need to stop making manga adaptations, period. Re: FMA, I was a manga-only person for a long time until I upgraded my internet, so I watched the anime after I'd read the manga, and was really disappointed. They're not really handling Brotherhood very well, either. Just went through Srirams list and it looks like you lot and I are a prefecture apart in terms of genre preference. That explains why I'm feeling so left out I tend to give everything a shot, regardless of genre. What would you classify as your favourites? Edited July 17, 2009 by Phoenix Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Pretty wide ranging, really. Choice picks from my collection: Paranoia Agent, GitS: SAC 1st&2nd GIG, Mushishi, Wolf's Rain, Le Chevalier D'Eon, Last Exile, FMA, Cowboy Bebop, Patlabor, Wings of Honneamise, Macross (NOT robotech), Gankutsuou etc etc etc. You get the idea. And why compare the FMA series to the manga at all? The series was damn near perfect in terms of EVERYTHING. Remember, even Akira was a joke when you consider how deep the manga was. But that still doesn't take anything away from the movie. Edited July 17, 2009 by keyofx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
