I wouldn't go as far as saying Monogatari is better than DN - in fact, I wouldn't compare the two because they are so different. But the dialogue (and humour) in Bakemonogatari is incredibly sharp and enjoyable. DN spent a bit too much time being dark, although it was a fascinating exploration of how power can corrupt the psyche of even a well-meaning person. And it's firmly grounded in reality, if you can ignore the bit about killing people by writing their name down.

Bakemonogatari is a little more, how to say it, supernatural in tone.

Well, I guess I should watch Bakemonogatari followed by some Death Note.

I really want to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion though, I need to find someone who has it:rolleyes:.

I love them but it's exhausting to continuously follow both of them (and watch one of them). Good things eventually have to come to an end :p. I just read the latest chapters, both pleased me, but one of them suggested just how much longer they intend to go on.

On another note, I'm struggling to decide if I should watch Death Note or Bakemonogatari 1st...

Death Note man... no wondering required.

I have not watched any anime in ages... last one I watched was black lagoon season 2. 2 flipping years ago. loved it but yeah, not much caught my attention recently, Bleach went off the rails with the Bount arc, Naruto felt like Baddie of the week format. dunno. not finding much to watch

Pro tip from a noob anime follower: don't watch fillers:D.

A bit weird but from what animes are these from?

And no the first is not DeathNote XD

The first one is Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid - that was a little cameo appearance by Death Note's L :p

The second one is Rozen Maiden - the character in front is Suisei Seki and the one in the background is her sister Sousei Seki.

Totiko is made by Toei Animation so is DBZ and 1p so it's easy to make a cross over.

Random question quick - do we have any AMV fans in here?

I wouldn't say a fan exactly, but I like some of the vids.

Also, it seems my question as to what's next in my anime journey was answered accidentally by Code Geas... I'm liking it :D

im not against AMVs but dont go looking for them

I watched the first "Attack on Titan" and have to say, it's amazing. Great storyline and good animation. Very dark! I've downloaded up to E09 - just trying to make time to watch them all!

I'm also a huge Robotech (Macross) fan - I bought the entire collection when I lived in the US. Live action film has been given the green light, too!

that you waited so long to watch Attack on Titian is not right, but you watching it at least so its all good :D

I think its the best anime so far this year

You'll probably want to flay me for saying this - but I have one HUGE problem with Shingeki no Kyojin - and that is the plot's pace. After the initial burst of time in the first 3 episodes development has slowed to a crawl, and I feel like tearing my hair out by the end of each episode.

That isn't to say it's not an awesome show, because it is, but seriously: SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!!! D:

The first one was awesome from start to finish - good action flow.

Lots and lots,check it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXX7dRULFaE
He has quite a few YouTube accounts.

yes it has slowed down but i dont like watching 1 episode ever week i rather watch 2 or 3 i went to read the manga so i know what going to happen. The whole thing that made it awsome was I feel the art, style and the fact that its something different.

I am an AMV fan... seen tons of brilliant AMVs.
I even want to make one, I have the tools and skills, but I don't have much of an imagination.
I cannot seem to be creative enough to choose the right scenes or song.

There are 2 AMV creators in South Africa who have made several decent videos that I am aware of.
Decoy: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/memb...?user_id=90616
Darush: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/memb...user_id=153573

There are others, who create their own videos, but these are generally their own private work and not accessible outside any competitions which are held.

The AMV scene sadly doesn't seem to be too popular here in South Africa.
Well.... it's their loss I say.

so im going to a lan tomorrow and i want to know what anime to look out for. Im on the look out for Gintima ( i have it on download as well ) as well as Hunter X Hunter but what other anime is worth getting?

Im following Suisei no garantia kinda like that show atm

I recommend anything by Gen Urobuchi (urubutcher ;) ). Like Psycho Pass, Suisei no Gargantia (2 episode's left) and Puella Magica Madoka!!, Fate Zero.

Robotics; Notes is done by the same people who done Stein's;Gate not as great, the ending is weak but the build up is good. Watch Stein's gate, it has a slow start but it's awesome.
Hyouka is another great anime :D , like High school version of Shakespeare done right.

I read the manga for Shingeki no Kyoujin - I don't have enough words to describe how great it is, a bit gruesome though.
Also bakemonogatari, darker than black is good.

The only thing Steins and Robotics have in common is the same dev studio for the games and the semi-colon in the name. They are done by different anime studios, the directors are different and even the manga artists are also different just by the way.

Production I.G worked on Robotics but I think they selling out a bit these days as opposed to the smaller production studios.

On a side note, Berserk Film 3 will be released shortly on Blu-ray and DVD in Japan.... Can't seem to find the release date again.

***EDIT
It was released on the 19th of this month, just got to wait for the R18 version to get subbed.

Really. Then there is no wonder Robotic notes really screwed up in several places. The execution and the pacing for steins;gate was so good. Even chaos;head didn't have such a messed up plot hole.

I'm starting to lose patience with Shingeki no Kyojin now ... damn the pacing in that show is unbelievable slow. I wonder if anybody realises if we've spent 8 episodes in the exact same time period. Meh ...

Anyways ... moving on, I've just finished watching Blood C - in 12 episodes it has more blood than the entirety of Blood+'s 52. Movie's up next - I'm going to try and fit that in tonight.

Yea i need to catch up on the manga the anime is slowish atm but still good.

Majestic prince, Shingeki no Kyoujin, Mushibugyou and Railgun are the only ones which are continuing.
The rest are finishing within the next episode or 2, and some have finished already, such as Date A Live.

But some of them could be split into 'so called' 2 seasons, such as Fate Zero was, and lets not forget Jormungand. With the way Date A Live ended, it will continue with a 'second season' as per say, and I believe some shows such as Suisei no Gargantia will be the same, since hardly anything has happened and it's ending.

As for Shingeki no Kyojin, I just watched Defence of Trost part 8 (episode 11). I don't mind the fact that they are in the same time period, however, I do find the pace of it to be very slow and dragged out. In the latest episode, you would expect something, but instead, they dragged the episode out and stopped it with a cliffhanger.

Most likely they will stop the anime at a certain point to get people to purchase the manga to continue the story. They have done it with so many show's it's a common practice.

Date-A-Live's second season has already been announced - the announcement was made at the end of the final episode.

Ore no Imouto has an additional 3 OVA episodes coming a little later this year.

Suisei no Gargantia might not get a 2nd season, since it's an original story, so unless they decide to adapt the short stories on the site, of which there were only 5, so there's not a lot of material to work with. If anything, those will only be spin-offs.

Done with season 1 of Code Geas (some of the last few episodes really left me bleak:cry:), I just started Eureka Seven and I'm in love:love:

I like it. The narrative tends to veer off occasionally IMO, but overall it's an enjoyable anime...

It's a very good anime, Lelouch plays his part so well even in the end of it all, party one of the reasons why I loved it so much was the development of his character. Also as Dee says it does tend to veer off the tracks at some points but it's still very awesome.
