Hi, I'm Nathan I'm new but I'm also very excited to be on the forum. I'm open to trying any anime right now being that I'm new. Have a amazing day, Nathan

Welcome to AF.

I watched it, it was interesting because I'm also small

I haven't yet watched it but I hear your lie in april is fantastic.

Top 10 list for me since I started; In no particular order Zoids New Century Princess Tutu Peacemaker Kurogane Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet Blue Exorcist Spice and Wolf Soul Eater Chrno Crusade Kenshin Cowboy Bebop Maybe.

I have not personally run into this. To be honest I thought it was a joke. But if one did come up to me, FIGHT ME CLOWN.

So a new Pokémon Anime has been released, Pokémon Generations, an eighteen part mini-series, "telling untold stories of the Pokémon world", in three to five minute long episodes, we're currently up to episode 7! I'm not too sure of what the release times actually are, as last time I checked, I was on episode 4, and after a period of quiet, there's suddenly another couple of episodes! Every Friday, one or two episodes released (thanks Ryuji), on the Official Pokémon Channel (see ); as well as the current number of episodes mentioned, there's also a trailer, I will run through the current content now: Trailer Boast - "untold stories of the Pokémon world" ... we shall see; Cheryl - the trailer shows that at least one of the event trainers from Generation IV will feature! Episode 1 - The Adventure Party like it's 1999 1995 - starts off with Pokémon Red Version Opening, a "battle and getto da ze" (capture) in GameBoy style graphics, before transitioning into anime; On my way to Viridian City Forest - the episode starts with Red capturing Pikachu in Viridian Forest, then using the same Pikachu to fight a Caterpie; The Johto Journeys - the action then moves onto Red and Pikachu in Ecruteak City, battling against a trio of Wooper, let's just say they have the Wooper hand, ignore that; Advanced Battle - the action moves on again, to Red and Pikachu near the Weather Institute in Hoenn, battling a Vigoroth, on the log bridge of Route 119; Runny Noses - the action again, moves on, Red and Pikachu are now doing battle against Probopass outside the Snowpoint Temple; Sandcrawler - the usual happens, Pikachu is seen crawling in the sand in the desert, before the action moving to inside Relic Castle, where Pikachu falls prey to a spot of sinking sand; Riding the rail - the final transition has been reached, we now catch up with Red and Pikachu riding through Terminus Cave on a mining car, whilst being attacked by Noivern; The world will turn to ash Ash - from this episode, it would seem to suggest that we have a copycat trainer, going to every region, like a certain protagonist of the main anime, rather than the trainers of each generation being giving a chance! Episode 2 (The Chase) PEGI didn't close this Game Corner - if LeafGreen and FireRed are remade, and I'd like for that, as we need VS. screens for Kanto Elite Four (Hoenn Battle Frontier too*, but that'd be a different remake-remake), the Celadon Game Corner needs to be shut down like this**; Dude looks like a lady looks like a dude - apparently according to Bulbapedia, the Team Rocket grunt being interogated in this episode is female, however, I think that might be wrong; That Generation IV look - the Viridian City Gym is given its appearance, that features in the games HeartGold and SoulSilver; Music, makes the people come together (Madonna), police raid a Gym - a remix to the Team Rocket music can be heard in this episode; Caught in the blast - good job the Gym was empty, someone could have been killed by that Fire Blast, when it melted the wall; Poor Police Work - the police were not aware that Giovanni was the Gym Leader at the Viridian City Gym... until sometime after the raid! Episode 3 (The Challenger) A disturbance in the force - the Kanto Elite Four respond to news that a trainer has obtained all eight badges, the first time in a while; Kalos Theory - whilst the Kanto Elite Four can only be challenged in a certain order, the Elite Four apparently have "dwellings" in a Kalos or an Unova format, in those regions you can battle the Elite Four in any order (Drasna could be first in Kalos, whilst Shauntel doesn't need to be first in Unova, etc.); Icy resolve - Lorelei and the other members of the Elite Four have more screentime than in Pokémon the Origin; Green Hill Zone - Blue (or Green, if a Japanese version ever appears) proclaims he "will sit on the throne"... AND THERE'S A BLOODY THRONE, he also sounds as if he's voiced by Johnny Bosch Young which, is cool, however unless he's using an alternate name, he isn't! Episode 4 (The Lake of Rage) Female representation - of the Team Rocket grunts, there is one female grunt, sporting pink hair as in Generation IV art, compared to The Origin (no female grunts, with green hair), but that was Generation I story, with Generation III art; Everything is Golden - Gold/Ethan makes an appearance, although mostly in the shadows, dispelling Ash 2.0 worries, and sporting his Generation IV look and tech; Drinking on the job - the Team Rocket grunts swagger stagger about, to face Lance! Episode 5 (The Legacy) Atarashi raibaru (A new rival) - an adapted version of the Rival theme plays in this episode; Radiohead - Team Rocket takes over the Radio Tower, with the female grunt broadcasting a message; The Voice - Silver's doesn't sound how I would have pictured it, the one used kinda sounds like Brad Swaile; I am your father - Silver's heritage is confirmed, in somewhere other than Adentures***, now we just need confirmation if Mars and Athena are related #thatGen4RedHairSpike (not an actual twitter tag, I don't think)! Episode 6 (The Re-awakening) Known by many names - Eusine (main series and games) Eugene (Raikou: Legend of Thunder) Eusine wonders through, and talks about the events surrounding the Burnt Tower; Humble Beginnings - Raikou, Entei and Suicine started off all as Houndour (I lie), before revived and changed by Ho-Oh; Fear will keep the local(s) systems in line (Grand Moff Tarkin) - sure people fear the unexplainable, but I don't recall this story before, although it does support the boast from the trailer "untold stories..."; Who's that girl - in the crowd of scared townspeople, apparently the young child (that's not afraid of Raikou, Entei and Suicine) will become one of the Kimono Girls of Ecruteak City! Episode 7 (The Vision) Ruby Shoes Shoo'd - Ruby/Brendan breaks into the Team Magma Hideout, fighting male and female Team Magma grunts on the way; Personality Transplant - Tabitha has been getting personality tips from Gary Oak from the main series; A bag full of cats - Courtney has been given a weird out-of-it (Generation VI) personality, well I guess it's better than sharing a personality (found out that she and Shelley have the same dialogue, but swap between the paired games in Generaion III)****; Morbid curiousity - Maxie tells Courtney she will remain behind to cover the sub's escape, but they will meet again, however I wondered if it would be in this life, or the next; Fried Chicken One Vision - Courtney stares at the pwetty wed siwen red siren, and gets a vision of the future, one with fire to match the red siren (you pyromaniac loon); Suffering Sapphire in silence - Sapphire/May does not feature, nor do any members of Team Aqua! Right, so that's a bit about all the episodes so far, as I've said, with Episode 7, it was one sided, in that it only featured from one of the paired games, I'd hope that there's a Sapphire episode on the way too, but probably not! I mentioned above two characters (Blue and Silver), who I felt might be voiced by certain voice actors, however checking the information out, this appears to be untrue! I do have some other characters that I feel might be voiced by certain voice actors too, however I do not have a way to confirm it; Tabitha reminds me of Thom Adcox Hernandez, and one of the male grunts from episode 4 reminds me of Derek Stephen Prince, whilst another reminds me of Spike Spencer or Grey Ayres - not sure about the other male grunt, or the female grunt, although I feel the latter might come to me, at somepoint! Just thought I'd include some pictures now: Lorelei grabs life by the Pokéball; Drunk on the job, not drunk on the job; Forward Slash Courtney! [spoiler=Images] Need to make a post on the Origin thread at somepoint, not that I could actually find it (was hoping it came up as "similar threads" when I was creating this one, but appears not), that said, need to re-watch it first ! * - I was reading a reference to the Battle Frontier was made in Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby, in that a talent agent working for Scott, had signed up a person (Lucy) to be the Pike Queen for an upcoming project... no mention of Greta, Anabel or any of the others ! ** - I think this could so be done, I mean all you need to do is have the Game Corner open, however every machine is being used by an Undercover Police agent, who tells you to stop bothering them, and gives you some game coins which, might add up to at least one Pokémon from the Game Corner, and then the rest of them can be found in the wild, after you beat the Elite Four, or something! *** - according to wikipedia, it appears that there was an event in HeartGold and SoulSilver, that also confirmed Silver's heritage, however not played Generation IV yet, so I wouldn't know! **** - it appears that the Admins of Team Magma and Aqua go by code names, rather than real names, as the Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby chapters of Pokémon Adventures set up the new designs (and personalities) for the Admins in the remake games, as seperate characters to those from the original Ruby and Sapphire chapters!

One of my favorite animes is Golden Time. It combines a lot of funny, romantic and some sad scenes. You need to stay focus on the plot because it's very twisted. I highly recommend it for those who want a great romance anime.

Be prepared with a lot of tissues if you are going to watch it
