Title: AWS's Official..... Anime thread!! Fans welcomed!
Post by: Talentz on May 13, 2011, 04:34:57 AM
Yes!! It has finally come true!

If you didn't already know, I am a big fan of anime. In fact, anime consumes the majority of my free time.

~ The goal of this thread is to share, chat and enjoy the anime we have watched and/or are watching at this time.

Feel free to comment, post thoughts about this. Please, I ask that we keep flaming out of this thread. If you don't like/ not interested in anime, then move on and create your own thread. Thanks!!


Now, I prefer to watch new release anime. It airs in Japan and (hopefully) within about a day, its fansubbed and released to everyone else.

Here is my animelist which keeps track of what I have watched and are watching. http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Talentz (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Talentz)

I generally update it daily.


Thinking of an anime related to AWS... the only shows I can recall are Area 88 and Sky Crawlers. Not specifically airline related, but are aircraft based maybe? Anyone know of an airline management anime they have seen or heard about?


Anywho, join me and share your passion with the rest of us!!

Gunslinger Girl and Elfen Lied are the ones I've seen completely.

Then there are maybe a dozen I've only seen few episodes of... The latest is GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka), which is quite nice.
A friend of mine is a huge fan of anime, so I usually watch them when visiting him  ::)

Yep.

I am sure anyone born in the 1990s has seen anime when they were still small.

I watched Ghost in the Shell, that was pretty neat. Not because it was anime but just because it had a great, immersive plot which really left me thinking. Kind of like the Matrix to me. Anybody else seen it?

Ghost in the shell? I have seen a couple of episodes. Pretty good, but i never followed through. I wonder why?

Lucky Star and Elfen Lied are classics!!

It's a series? What I watched was like a feature length film, just a one off.

I don't know if there's a series about it, but I just last month saw both the 1st and 2nd movie, they were awesome, and like you said, really got you thinking  ;)

I like some main-stream animes like Naruto and Dragon BallZ, but that's about it. Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin has always been hugely popular in Finland and that was the first anime series I ever watched.

Also technically the Moomins are anime, but they're made for small kids.

I hated the Moomins, seriously that stuff was so freaky it used to give me nightmares. The little girl was soo creepy. I think it would still shake me up even now.

That's so true! I don't understand why it's a small children show. Cause there is some scary sh*t  stuff  in  that some times. :)

At the moment im watching:

We without wings under the innocent sky and Steins Gate.

Steins Gate has a strange story, but still it catches you somehow :)

Best anime i ever seen is Myself;Yourself. It has a fantastic story. You have to see it :)

Post by: Talentz on May 15, 2011, 12:20:22 AM
Setiokai was pretty funny. The ED was probably what I liked about it best though ^_^


I am watching those same two shows as well. I watched Chaos;Head which is in the same family of Steins;Gate. So far I like both.

Innocent sky was a bit jumpy with the story for the first 2 eps, but after ep 5, it's starting to pick up.


~ I am not a big mecha fan so I can't comment on the gundam shows.... but that doesn't mean I wont watch mecha. Did anyone just watch Star Driver? I liked it.

About "We without wings under the innocent sky"

It's true the story is a bit jumpy in the beginning, though i think they probably did it to let the audience know their characters. But the thing that makes me like the show is that it is a "slice of life" anime. since that is my favourite genre. But it starts to give a little sence.

A couple of nice songs with an anime style music video (which I also find pleasing):

Nero - Innocence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S35THmZD_E)
Nero - Me & You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE47er6qnqg)

Think this guy is inspired by computer games and anime somewhat.

Hope you all enjoy...

Woo! Nice, I like the music as well. Thanks for the links!


Even though I haven't updated my animelist page, I've been catching up on eps the past week. Whats up with ep 8 of Innocent sky? They went hard on the fan service don't you think? Ep 7 was ROFL for the most part!!

Dog Days is getting good with the last ep (10). Props to Fairy tail and The world God only knows as well.

~ Anyone have the summer animes spotted? Were only 2-3 weeks away from the start of Summer season!

The first series were awesome but then they kept adding more and more pokemon until it became too much. They should've stopped after the first or second series. :P I did watch this a lot when I was young, though.. oh, the good times. :laugh:

Yo everyone! I've been beyond busy for the past 6 weeks or so. Haven't been able to do much besides sleep and eat. :(

I've been trying to keep up with anime as the new season just started not too long ago. Though I am still behind many episodes for animes like Steins;gate (6eps), gosick (2 eps) and Enma-kun (2 eps). Eventually I'll finish those last two out xD

For summer season, these are the anime I am watching:

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni!
Kamisama no Memochou
Mayo Chiki!
Nurarihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyou
R-15
Ro-Kyu-Bu!
Sacred Seven
Usagi Drop
Blood-C
Dantalian no Shoka
Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel: Kyun Kyun Tokimeki Paradise!!
Nekogami Yaoyorozu
The iDOLM@STER
Yuru Yuri

omgtomuch eh? Yeah, I thought so too. As time goes by I'm sure Ill be dropping shows ^_^

The two shows I will be following religiously are Mago and Baka to test. If you watched the first seasons of these shows, season 2 should be even better!!

Bump ~

Sorry for being away. Life just doesn't like me... I swear! Anywho, I'll try my best to update the thread.


~~~ Its summer time (2012) and most of the first episodes have been released. Some ep 2s as well. For now, this is my current watch list from this season:

Sword Art Online
Dog Days S2
Campione!
Hagure Yuusha no Estetica
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate
Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!

Ongoing animes from past seasons include..

Fairy Tail
Hyouka
Kuroko no Basket

This season seemed light to me. Although there are a number of action shows to keep me entertained.


You can check out all the animes I have watched over the years here at Myanimelist.net - http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Talentz (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Talentz)


Let us know what your watching these days!
