God of Lightning Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Speaking of short series, I really wish Panty and Stocking would get a season 2. Me on another forum. Know what I don't like? How people keep calling Nardo and DBZ the same thing so if I like/hate one, I should like/hate the other one. They're not. DBZ at worst is just some bad writing and poor use of characters post-Dragon Ball as well as energy blast fests. Nardo tries to be "deep" even *censored*ing all over its original theme to do it and still fails miserably. You have the Uchihas who are constantly being forgiven for everything and never made to pay the consequences despite being the cause of nearly every bad thing to happen in the series in one form or another. You have crap like the will of fire which allows an entire clan to run what's basically a slave operation and drove a man to suicide for abandoning a mission to help his teammates while criminalizing another for doing the exact opposite. You have Itachi's retcon. You have Sakura, and to a lesser extent Hinata, whose entire character revolves around chasing a childhood crush who doesn't give a damn about her and never really did and who tried to kill her and she still ends up marrying him and having his kid, assuming it's actually her kid. You have the non-existent parallels between Nardo and a good few other characters and that's just stuff off the top of my head. At least DBZ always kept everything simple and never really tried to act like it was something more than it actually was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSS-Out Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Friend of mine convinced me to start watching Hajime No Ippo, and i'm quite liking it, though the voice acting is quite lacking in some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 So apparently, Sarada was confirmed as Karin's daughter. Sakura confirmed worst female character in fiction. I started watching Digimon Data Squad. Seriously can't remember what it was that turned me off it before. Eh well. I'm also watching it dubbed.

I started watching Digimon Data Squad. Seriously can't remember what it was that turned me off it before. Eh well. I'm also watching it dubbed. Unpopular but I consider Data Squad the best Digimon series. It's a hell of a lot more grown up and mature, with a cast of adults. (and a 14 year old who may as well be an adult) Once you're past the Digimon of the week first arc, it gets great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm only on episode 8 or 9, but it's alright so far. Could be better, though. I may watch Xros Wars/Fusion, but I plan to stay far away from Hunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Looking at the list, episode 12 is where they drop the Digimon of the week thing When rewatching I tended to just skip the beginning and I've heard the third season of Fusion isgod awful Second season is good so far, though (dub is only half way into season 2...)

God of Lightning Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 A lot of people say the only good thing about Hunters is the crossover ending, but(and I think I've already said it before, but whatever) I honestly found it a mess and a terrible waste of time and potential. They basically just brought all the main characters back to pull a stick out of the water. That's it. The other characters served absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Even Yugioh Bonds Beyond Time was better and that was disappointing as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've seen that moment where they all come in to kill Myotismons on YT a few times tbf and I mark out every time I hope they manage to get all the correct English voice actors and from what I can gather, season 3 lacks Nene, which means it'll be shit.

God of Lightning Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Just got to episode 12 on Data Squad. *censored* got real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yeah... it changes at such a drop of a dime. You should now enjoy the story telling and such of the rest of it. Let me know how you enjoy it as it goes on and etc. There isn't really any bad characters either, they all serve their roles well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 My only problem is that Yoshino hasn't gotten a win yet even against Keramon who she should've beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackalicious Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Let me say my 2 cents. Bleach is becoming good again. Naruto is at WTF moment. And I am a couple of episodes into the Dark Tournament Arc of Yu Yu Hakusho, it is more fun to watch than DBZ's english dub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Been watching Data Squad all day and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. On episode 44 right now. Finished it last night. It is now my second favorite Digimon series behind Tamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 That was quick xD I said it was good... glad you enjoyed. In terms of quality of series, I have it #1. But nostalgia puts older ones above for favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 There are plently of times I've devoted entire days to just watching *insert anime here*. I went through Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Beebop in two days. Thinking of watching a Gundam series next. Or Zoids because of that one game from the Sony conference yesterday. As for Data Squad, I really loved how everyone was equal in terms of power. No one got left behind and made to look like a chump and the main group all got the same powerups. It's probably even better than Tamers, though I guess having more humans who actually use Digimon helps. Also, Marcus breaking Craniamon's shield was the highlight of the show for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well I'd say more, Marcus = Thomas Yoshi = Keenan The main two were obviously a step above the other two, especially when they don't even get proper burst mode evolution animations... and got their megas last. I'd say they're all equal in Tamers too, though I guess only one of them got the post mega form, whilst they all get burst in Data. Even Bancho xD You do have the random Miki, Megumi and Homer not getting passed Ultimate tho. As I said, I have Data as #1 and that's one reason why.

God of Lightning Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Well they're minor characters. They don't need megas. Oh yeah, Yoshi, Marcus, and Thomas all got their megas at the same time. I watched Battle Angel Alita yesterday and now I really need to read the manga. Masashi Kishimoto is retiring from manga after he finishes his little Nardo miniseries, so good riddance.

AlterNation Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 About to hop into Neon Genesis Evangelion. Anyone watched it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Yep. I like it for the giant robots, but that's about it. Not too fond of all the mental/emotional instability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Ohh I've reach the part of 5DS where they couldn't be arsed dubbing it for 15 episodes and thus skip half an arc. Sub it is for a while~ then after that it's not long before they stopped dubbing it altogether so they could dub Zexal xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 A few months ago I finally watched Cowboy Bebop. Downloaded the entire anime on Blu-Ray and finished in about a week. I think it's a good anime, but it's also underrated. Didn't really like the amount of filler there was for such a short anime that only had like, 20 something episodes. Speaking of filler, the recent episodes of Detective Conan have been great compared to the previous ones. Anyone else watch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Underrated? In what world? Unless you mean overrated which I guess is fair. The overall plot is only ever brought up in a handful of episodes which is my only problem with it, but the rest is so good, I can overlook it.

St★rstruck Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah, I meant to say overrated, lol. Like I said, the amount of filler for such a short anime is something I didn't like. Felt dull at times, too, but still a good anime...I just don't think it's "GOAT" like a shit ton of other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt dull at times, too, but still a good anime...I just don't think it's "GOAT" like a shit ton of other people. I completely agree. The only times it was ever interesting was when it delved into the existential aspects, and Spike's past + confrontations with Vicious. The rest of the show was just filled with uninteresting, trivial misadventures. The plot, outside of my aforementioned highlights, was so much thinner than I thought it would be. I genuinely don't understand the hype behind it. It's a good show, but nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
