TFW you start a discussion months ago you hardly give two fucks about now. Jk, I think we are getting a lot of interesting responses here! I think the critiques and opinions we have offer a lot of good points and even better counter points. I'm still not sure about SAO, as I said I just don't think is a good series, but your opinions almost make wanna rewatch it with another mindset. I probably won't, but hey... what can I do, eh?

Because of the popularization of streaming sites such as Crunchyroll, it has never been easier to follow seasonal anime if you are an international fan. Of course that streaming sites have been a thing for a long time, but now they are strengthened by these legal services. Back in the day there was no way to make sure a certain anime would ever arrive in the west. Now you can just go on Crunchyroll and watch an HD episode of an anime one hour after it airs in Japan. This is freaking nuts! The international anime community is growing now because of it and watching seasonal anime is becoming more of a thing.

I wouldn't say it's guilty pleasure tho. The way the movie was constructed just seems way too much like an intentional comedy. The movie is merely based on the original work. They didn't destroy any characters, they only created new ones based on old characters. If you approach it as anything but a comedy the movie is pretty fucking bad tho. The cinematography is incredibly good, but the writing is really "meh". The acting was the best part of the movie as it felt incredibly cheesy. This feels like is intentionally a B movie and as an adaption of the original it does a decent job. Shame they didn't recapture anything but the campiness from the original (which, let's admit here, it was pretty campy at times).

I liked the Death Note movie tho! I mean, I think it was intentionally campy and ridiculous. If I'm not mistaken even the creators of the original manga said they liked it. It was so freaking hilarious, man.

I'm just wondering really.

I liked the Live Action version. It has this cinematic style from the original movie mixed with a bit of blade runner. It's a western movie based on an eastern property. I think that they tried to make Major a bit more human and less introspective. It feels more like a localized version of Ghost in the Shell than anything. I just don't like how they handled some of the dialogues and the ending. The ending of the live action movie is just so... you know, it's a typical western happy ending. I think both Majors went into their own unique changes, but it was a lot less impactful in the live action one. Still, the original Ghost in the Shell is now one of my favorite movies of all time.

My bad, I should have specified more. Yeah, I meant english. Unless you know of any Brazilian dubs out there, but I doubt it.

I'm currently having to work a whole lot and I need some help. I need an anime just to play in the background while I'm busy writing my assignments. So, basically I want an anime with a decent dub that is satisfying to listen to and occasionally glance over when I feel something important is happening. I doubt anyone will understand this request tbh hahaha

Also, anything from Shadow Skill! Born Legend is really goddamn good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDc-wjzdle4

Well, honestly I don't have a favorite anime genre. I enjoy a lot of things from action to psychological horror. I know this is a typical suggestion, but man, you gotta watch Higurashi if you want some tense horror. It's like a murder story that repeats itself with the same characters over and over. All the stories actually share the same murderer I believe, so it's sort of like a mystery for the audience. If you want another horror series go with Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales or its spin off Mononoke. They are both incredible horror anime with trippy as fuck animation and some pretty haunting moments. Ayakashi is three horror stories combined into 11 episodes with different styles and different characters. It has a phenomenal art direction. Mononoke on the other hand is just... you have to watch and see. It's just overall inspiring to look at times. I dunno why, but I'm in a horror vibe now.

Yeah, I feel ya there. I always go for dual blades personally, but sometimes it can get really annoying to fight stronger enemies with it. I had to learn how to play with a Switch Axe, which has a big variety of faster combos, but even then maneuvering your character with it equipped feels really sluggish. There aren't many fast weapons in this game and I feel like the few it has are their most useful when grinding for materials killing small enemies, but that also goes with the grinding problem present through the game.

So, essentially I was raised in a environment with a shitton of anime and manga. Both my brothers are quite a bit older than me and as I was growing up I used to watch everything they watched. My all time favorite anime was also the last one I saw before I stopped caring, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. I also used to love Get Backers and Neon Genesis Evangelion. My brothers also had the complete Death Note manga series which also ended up with me. Now that I think about it, I did watch a lot of Digimon Tamers, Darker than BLACK, Medabots, Yu Yu Hashuko and og Fullmetal Alchemist. Blayblade was also one that I used to watch for my own sake, but even then I knew it was pretty bad. My brothers and I make fun of the brazilian dub even now. Captain Tsubasa was pretty unintentionally funny as well. Actually, maybe the last one I saw with one of my brothers was Higurashi (that shit is unsettling). I know there was a lot more stuff I used to watch, but I can't remember now.

Well, Monster Hunter is not something that most people play for story. It's all about evolution in a sense. Being a hunter, you know? Adapting to different situations so you may be able to conquer giant beasts. I understand you tho, I think a good story can really add something special to this universe. Therefore, I'm SO excited for Monster Hunter Stories hehe
