The Big List of Anime

TGM: you didn't miss much of the Third. the production quality is like a see saw and really, after awhile it just drags on. There was nothing really special about the battle between the "tank" (I'd call it the rolling lotion dispenser for lack of a better term) and the tank hunter since you could find a cooler action scene in any action movie or any game.

It was really just another excuse for people to justify creating yet another tomboy girl thing anime with the atypical girl issues that only twats care about (as the rest of us are too busy getting high on cocaine and sex). Oh, and the ending sucked.

On an unrelated note:

Here's a bunch of stuff:

Gunparade March: boring waste of time. Synopsis is about how an emo and an emo meet up to have emo romance. There were some half-decent robot fights early on, but they got fazed out and left us with the above. Seriously, people should at least research basic war tactics and military maneuvers before they try to cow-poop their way through stuff like this. I swear, if I need to shout out, "DON'T poking STAND ON THE poking BRIDGE WHEN YOU'RE BEING ATTACKED, SHITFUCKINGASSHEADS!" one more time...

Nagasarete Airantou: Typical harem anime. Good for a mindless laugh.

Lucky Star: Pretty cool... I guess. Could've used a giant orbital cannon explosion or two. And less references to Haruhi would've been welcome.

Ghostbusters 2: Somewhat funny. But really, it's forced most of the times.

Ocean's 13: Not bad actually. Not as good as the first one but much better than the second.

Kane & Lynch: I don't know why everyone is so hung up about this game. It's quite good too. The graphical requirements are quite low, so it's a nice way to waste an afternoon.

Ever17: It's okay. No sex though.

Oven roasted chicken: Very nice. A long production time but highly recommended. Do not attempt if you lack skillz.

Well, if Umi says it wasn't much, I'll have to go with his word on this one. He has the most similar taste to mine. I'll still watch the tank battle though, just to see how I like it.

I was reading this thread looking for good animes too watch then I read about Air and your review about it...

.. I have just finished watching the whole series and I've never shed a tear(at least like this) before while watching anime... The story is so deep and touching that I can't help myself from crying.. darn..

Yeah, though I don't really ever want to watch it again. It was good for a once through, but that much tugging at the heart strings doesn't' suit me.

^ In case you missed this huge lengthy discussion on male crying disorder.

EDIT: hahaha, TGM, you remember back when the only things that Baka-Tsukian's talked about was Haruhi Suzumiya no matter which section the forum they were in? xD

I guess watching Air after finishing Elfen Lied is a bad idea. Even though I don't usually get the "teary eye" situation in most shows and irl event... I guess the story is just too good for man like me... darn.

You realize the IRC chan is a lot better place to look for good anime to watch right?

If only I could find the thread about the IRC channel and it's address then I would have connected there already.

The link can be found on the main page of the wiki if you look hard enough, but since we're all lazy Americans/Canadians/<insert nationality here> here's the link: irc://irc.rizon.net/Baka-Tsuki

Pale Cocoon
Genres: Future, Post-apocalyptic, SciFi, Seinen, Drama
Rating: 10/10, A++++++++++ for rewatchability

Summary from ANN: A future where the continuity of history has broken off, a world of enormous ruins that continues endlessly. Oceans and continents have vanished, existing only within the archives brought up from the remains. Ura works in the Archive Excavation Department, which restores and analyzes the data left behind. One day, he finds a disturbing visual record...

Thoughts: This single episode OVA is great. It has such an amazing theme that leaves you confused, yet it makes you think what the hell just happened. Hell, you can watch this for 50 times and you'll still get something new from it (hence the A++++++++++ for rewatchability). I'm not gonna spoil much so download Doremi's version from Scarywater.

I'll look into it. So it's just 1 OVA? Are they going to make another or is that one it?

Just one, 22 minutes long.
