Holy crap! I just stumbled onto Log Horizon. I almost wrote it off as a cheap Sword Art Online knockoff:eek:. It's quite good though :D

You should pay more attention bud xD

I'm fairly sure I lauded the merits of that particular series somewhere in this thread.
 
"I asked my uncle, what does 'Hyōka' mean? Then... He told me... Thats right! He told me to be strong. Because if I was weak, I wouldn't be able... Yes, A day... A day would come were I wouldn't even be able to scream!"

Yaaaaaa~ eventually got around to completing Hyōka, was a bit slow in the middle but it came together nicely in the end. I do not normally watch slice of life anime but I can highly recommend this one to someone whom has yet to start watching the genre.

We should start our own kickstarter type website for Anime, so that we can get releases on dvd and blu ray as well as help out smaller studios get work published.

I am trying Texhnolyze but the lack of dialoge is lowering my interest. Space Dandy is a riot it can't be taken seriously, it feels like a satire of the space opera genre with a lot of vulgar and sly jokes tossed in.

@Glordit, apparently you're the Mecha man around these here parts... Could you please list your favorite Mecha anime series. I'm into mecha even though I haven't watched that much outside Gurren Lagann, Broken Blade, Code Geass, Eureka Seven, Evangelion (which I've just started watching), and the currently airing Aldnoah.Zero.

*cracks knuckles*

Stay a while and listen :)

Sorry about the last response the world seems to be working against me today.

I have quite a few that I have enjoyed you mentioned quite a few good ones yourself. I would recommend watching the Evangelion films after you have watched the series, it gives you an alternate ending and storytelling aspect.

Mobile Suit Gundam
My absolute favourite series.
Probably one of the longest running Mecha series from japan it started in 1979 (Soon to be 35 years old if you include the manga) and is still going, Build Fighters is getting a second Season and a new Series with a New Universe is also going air later this year (Gundam Reconguista in G). I would recommend you start with Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Just a word of warning with 00 it's a very modern Gundam series set in the AD future, you may feel a little let down on the design of the other Mobile Suits in the older series) SEED, Wing + The OVA series or Build Fighters. The Gundam series itself is very involved and to honest involves a lot of politics as well as drama, it's not called a 'space opera' for nothing.

Armored Troopers Votoms
An very old but very classic series.

Diebuster & Gunbuster
Diebuster (Top o Nerae! Gunbuster) is also a must watch quite a bit older than most, the production company ran out of funds to colour the final episode but years after it's release it became a cult classic.
Gunbuster is the sequel to Diebuster you will see a little bit of Tengen Toppa in it.

Blue Gender
Classic 90's Mecha series a lot of gore and blood, more for the shock value than story telling.

Patlabor
A film series about a police force with a gigantic robot, well worth a watch.

GaoGaiGar
Betterman (a spin off of GaoGaiGar)
RahXephon
Reideen
Aquarion
Aquarion EVOL (set in a different time period)
Linebarrels of Iron
All mostly fall under the shonen style gigantic mecha sub-genre.

Cyborg 0009 (more of a 'human' robot series)
Brain Powerd
Escaflowne
Mazinger (managed to keep it's 80's visuals and style through the years)

Macross
Another classic, spans over many years has quite a few OVA's, Series and Films.

Casshern
More likely to get a hold of the rebooted series SINS, which is also a 'human' robot mecha series.

Wildcards Just throwing it out there because why not?
Medabots
Megas XLR

A thousand Thank yous, good Sir. I will be taking a good look at all the suggestion (a test of how much my mind will digest :D).

*thumbs up*

Omega Good Job:D!

EDIT: I just noticed the Medabots and Megas XLR mentions :'''D

P.S. I don't if you've tried watching Medabots recently, if you haven't (I have), don't do it (it's better in your memories :rolleyes:).

Are you stating that Brotherhood is bad? I can't understand how that could be? It is a better representation of the manga than the original Fullmetal Alchemist was.

Brotherhood is better in so many aspects.
 
Yeah, I haven't seen the 1st iteration of Fullmetal Alchemist, and I quite enjoyed Brotherhood :rolleyes:.

Any particular reason you don't like Brotherhood, I'm curious. I know if I had to have a gripe with it, it'd be the pacing in the middle of the show.

Are you making a comparison of Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood or Brotherhood and the manga?

The fist series and the second not the manga.
Btw any of you guys use the tapatalk app on a blackberry 9320? Can't seem to get mine to work

Then you can't realy make a comparison of the two. Its like apples and oranges.

FMA started out following the manga then it caught up and deviated from the manga so the anime had its own ending that did not follow the original story.

Brotherhood was released many years later after the manga had been compleped so it stayed true to the original story.

In my opinion Brotherhood is vastly superior to the original.
