[MENTION=4071]BeoTeK[/MENTION] also give Eden of the East a go, it's a 11 part series and is concluded with 2 films. Very thought provoking and funny.
Which brings me to an important question. Why do so few animes have truly "happy" endings...?Quote:

Anyhow - I think I might have picked up too many series this season, so I'm going to be keen to drop a couple. Gunslinger Stratos is first on the list.
Absolutely BUT there are incredibly few animes with truly happy endings (ie Clannad and after story). I'm probably talking more about romances here but the open ending bull crap drives me nuts as well.Quote:

New DBZ series OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Hope its better than DBZ GT but OMG OMG OMG
GT was never official story. It was not created by Akira Toriyama, only the characters where. Despite Toei animation working on it, it is not officially Dragon ball. Looking at the website and twitter posts and my pre-school level of Japanese... AFAIK this follows after Z, Toriyama is going did the original concept and is also working on the screenplay, and character designs.Quote:

Just started log horizon, I'm 10 episodes in and really enjoying it, it'll top SAO for me if it stays this good
Currently watching Black Butler and Claymore. Black Butler is weird but I'm enjoying it thus far. Claymore feels like it might have some interesting lore to it but I'm a bit on the fence since I haven't much in the way of an overarching plot.
Log Horizon >>>>>>> Sword Art Online :pQuote:

I'll admit, I used to love SAO. I recently did a binge rewatch of everything SAO, and I realized how much I actually dislike it (characters are probably what ruined it for me) as the episodes carried on (maybe it's just the context of having watched much more anime after the 1st season). But yeah, it used to be in my top ten list, but now it's probably pushed to obscurity in my mind.Quote:

Guys where could i get clothing for cosplay in Johannesburg?
So apparently Google in Korea has an interesting Google doodle.

Your best best would be to ask in the Cosplay SA group on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/3415749605/ - although they're pretty big on crafting your own stuff, so I'll leave it up to you as how to approach them. There might be some willing to take commissions, but be warned that its an expensive hobby.Quote:

Well the title of the show is: "Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon?" how could that no become a meme material.Quote:

It's in light-novel format I believe - I haven't bought it yet, since I'm about to start reading No Game, No Life Volume 1 :3Quote:

It's frustrating as hell when I head over to Viz Media and see all the things that are digitally available, but I can't get my paws on it.
Going to start with D Gray man.
So is anyone else on Myanimelist?
I joined yesterday ... but its gonna take a while to load what ive watched...

AFAIK Sidonia no Kishi finished airing last year, unless you are playing catch up.Quote:

Because neither of them are streaming it. First season was streamed by Netflix, as far as I'm aware.Quote:
