  1. I take no issue with anything you've done. If anything, it's been kind of refreshing to see someone active on these forums who has the same wide-eyed optimism I had in the early 2000's.
  2. 7/10. It kind of falls into that Cowboy Bebop territory but it age quite as well. Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals
  3. 10/10. Best 12 episodes of a show I never expected to see, but was so happy when I did. What an amazing story, sad as it was. Fate/Stay Night
  4. Haven't caught up with that one, and I don't think I will 5/10. Another
  5. 0/10. The very concept of a Harem called Shuffle sounds pretty bad, but it only ends up being worse than that. Fist of the North Star
  6. I could swear I heard that description for an anime just at the start of the this season or the last. Have you tried looking for anime that have come out this year, because I honestly can't think what the name of it was.
  7. I wanna say Tales as well, because I really enjoyed it, but I know out of the list you have, it has to be either Fate Stay Night or D.Grey-man. So I say pick one of those and my vote is on the latter.
  8. Uchoten Kazoku, Kamisama Hajimemashita, Inari Konkon Koi Iroha, Wolf's Rain. I don't know you feel about graphic violence but I promise you at least one of these is, but that should be a good start if that doesn't bother you.
  9. I don't like spoiler tags and honestly for riddles I see no point in it. The worst that can happen is someone gets their answer Ninja'd which is just a part of forums. The Answer is Footsteps.
  10. If you want a conclusion, you can also watch Eureka Seven AO. It does conclude everything in it's own way, but I'll be honest, it's not great. The show is in no way on par with the original. There is also the Eureka Seven movie which is basically AU and all of the characters play different roles, but it's Evangelion levels of confusing, especially if you watched the main show first, which I highly recommend you do.
  11. Adding .hack://Sign to this as well. Not that I'm surprised that no one mentioned it, but considering that the show was my introduction to the idea, at least in anime, it deserves a mention. I've never seen a show use an intentionally slow place so well.
  12. I can actually give you a suggestion for that. Try Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto. It's more like Samruai X what with it's violence, but it's also similar and yet different from it that it will find kind of like it, but stand out on it's own.
  13. I kind of feel like that falls into the oversexulaization of high school aged students, but it does elaborate on it, so yeah, fair enough.
  14. I always thought about making an AMV using their music back then, that was just kind of a thing you did, but for some reason I never got to it.
  15. Yes. Lead singer of Sound Garden Chris Cornell committed suicide back in May, and his Birthday is today.
  16. http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/20/entertainment/chester-bennington-dead/index.html The lead singer of Linkin Park has successfully committed suicide.
  17. I feel like I've been called dumb for having an opinion with this post. Care to explain what you mean a little better because I hope that wasn't your intent.
  18. I would say that depends on what other issues are brought in. In Conquer of Shambala, where the focus is also largely on War and the failing economy of Germany and not just on Ed and Al, we got a pretty good story. As for a story being different in some ways, that might actually make it more interesting, because you might end up seeing something you didn't expect that works really well.
  19. Even if that's true, dubs do have to change things sometimes. It's difficult to make things the same word for word.
  20. Why should anime not be allowed to bring this topics up if others can?
  21. There is some truth to that, but there's also a stronger counterargument against it than you might think. In several forms of media translated from Japanese to English, we're supposed to still be under the impression that they are speaking Japanese to one another. Take Persona 5 for example, where the character Ann Takamaki often reads translated letters and the like to the rest of the group because she has the best English. Obviously, they are speaking English to us the whole time if we're playing a dubbed version of the game, but because Ann has several moments where she's either translating something or someone points out her English skills, you get the illusion that they are speaking Japanese to one another, even though you can understand them perfectly. Conversely, a scene where characters are speaking English rarely and it confuses the Japanese people who are hearing it even though we hear English, reminds us briefly that they don't speak the language, and oddly enough, in settings where English would be spoken by the people in whatever show their in, those scenes of English should don't confuse the character speaking Japanese. It's an odd conundrum that Japan would make shows that clearly should have English speaking people, or at least not Japanese speaking people, speak Japanese, and therefore are not confused by English, but they also have scenes where English is spoken by all the characters in a dub, and the confusion is there, but can be felt and understood. Back in the early days of plays, only men were ever hired to play roles, but of course females were written into scripts and actors at best had to learn how to sound like women. In today's anime, we have a variation of that, that favors the type of single scene where English is spoken but not understood to others speaking it. We can pretend for that moment even though we hear English from the Japanese characters, they don't actually speak it, because we've without a doubt had to pretend for far worse things. You can't really pretend that everyone is speaking English when well known Japanese lines are being spoken constantly without a enough reminders that we are supposed to pretend that everyone is speaking the language they should be and Japan can be notoriously bad at that.
  22. I'm mainly playing Valkiryia Revolution. It's not as bad as people say it is, not that, that surprises me.
  23. Tsubasa Chronicle, Hitsugi no Chaika, Fate/Stay Night, Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, Sousei no Omnyouji, Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut. Can't speak for the quality of all of these shows, because that varies between person to person, but these should be a good place to start.
  24. Haha, glad you found it. As I thought as well, it's an anime is from this year. I swear the oldest anime clip I've seen from Facebook is Assassination Classroom.
  25. Weird question, but how would you rate the quality of the animation? If it's more recent, the quality should be pretty up there, if it wasn't, it might mean it was a few years older. Although since this was from Facebook, I imagine that it was probably something that came out in the last year, which would make it easier to find.
