I didn't say I was gonna stop watching. Episode 2 was enjoyable and I liked the humor.

[Darkmatter]

lol ok cool. Ya the humour is great. It stays good too. The penguins are awesome.

Edit: BTW has anyone kept up with the current Bleach filler arc? I stopped watching it after the filler started up so I was wondering if its any good.

The second batch of Bleach filler (Hey, I know we're halfway through a fight, but don't you want to hear THIS story about your favorite characters and something they did in an unspecified time before this? Too bad here it is LOL we'll finish the fight you were watching next year!) is what killed the show for me and made me switch to the manga. Which still drags along. Never thought I'd get tired of a fight that lasted about a year.

So to answer your questions, the filler probably isn't any good.


Finally caught up on One Piece. Nice to see them finally start a new arc and not give us filler (I have an unhealthy obsession with people wasting my time) and jump right in.

I should scan my anime folder. I think there's a few dozen series there that I started downloading but never watched :P

Just watched it. It's good!

It's a bit more light hearted (teenage sky pirates taking down a whole fleet) and standard (evil empire versus princesses on the run), but my god I love the world it's in. It looks great and has a really nice vibe to it.

I watched the whole damn thing. And while it dragged on for too long like always and the evil guy even gave Aizen a big run for his money which was pretty unbelievable, it sure wasn't as bad as previous fillers (Bound arc uuuuughhhhhh). I watched it for the sake of having something to watch cause anime has been terrible lately.

Now new series I actually have interest in start popping up and I have better stuff to go for. Last Exile will at least replace it for a while. And I'm interested in Mirai Nikki and Phi Brain.

The new arc does seem intriguing though, it looks different

[Xydarc]

You guys still watch Bleach? o_O

Why?

[menage]

The last 1-2 years all the other anime was either slice of life, boobs in the classroom or crappy merchandise anime. Nothing interesting at all (except for Deadman Wonderland). At least with Bleach I know what I'm getting. I just need some action and battles. Not talking heads.

This new stuff looks a lot better.

[Xydarc]

That is true. I doubt Bleach holds any real surprises anymore. Have you been watching No.6? It's different. I like the characters and story so far. And then there's that insane penguin show.

I'm actually surprised that they're still going. Aizen and his crew were the most powerful hollows in existence. Anyone after that just doesn't measure up.

[Shrinn]

There's a new Last Exile? Is it a retelling or a new story set in the same world?

[menage]

New story mostly, but wasn't Dio in the first as well?? Maybe something like Fullmetal.

[bryan]

It's set after the events, some time forward. Haven't seen it yet it's on my list.

[Xydarc]

I have now watched 3 episodes of Horizon and I have no idea what's going on.

I'm honestly not sure what the story is. I watched the first episode and it had several characters that shouldn't have been there.

Dio dies in the Gulfstream or whatever they called it and the blurry woman in the Princess' flashback looks a lot like Dio's older sister. The man the "evil dude" is talking to in private also appears to be Dio's bodyguard from the first one. So I'm just outright confused.

On the other hand some of the things shown makes it seem like it's set a little while after the events of the first one. So, here's hoping that gets explained. It's really off-putting at the moment.

[Xydarc]

I've got the first two episodes downloaded and I'm looking forward to new Last Exile.

Also, I think Horizon is trying to break in a new genre: fully clothed fan service.

[Darkmatter]

I only watched the first ep of Horizon. I'm afraid I don't have enough brain matter left to figure out how to get ep 2...

I never saw the first Last Exile so this didn't really catch my eye even though the story idea seemed cool. I tend to avoid remakes when I haven't seen the original unless I hear the remake is really good.

[Wraith]

Talk of new shows reminds me - Crunchyroll has Working!!/Wagnaria!!'s second season.

Last Exile is one of the best anime series I've ever seen. AFAIK, this new series isn't a remake, its a new story in the same world.

I didn't watch Silver Wing last night, as I got into a good game of Dungeon Defenders. I did watch eps 2 and 3 of Mirai Nikki. The ending of episode 3 took a turn for the awesome.

[Darkmatter]

Clannad After Story ep 16-17.

WTF?


Edit: Finished. Why did they have to make most of the last 1/3 so unnecessarily hard and painful?

[menage]

Just watched Mirai Nikki 01, so far that's a winner.

Episode 3 convinced me Mirai Nikki is this season's Deadman Wonderland.

The new Last Exile: Fam, The Silver Wing is fucking fantastic.
