Taking baby steps exploring the new millenium's anime http://oi44.tinypic.com/2mhbktz.jpg As I mentioned here I recently ran into a former co-worker who's a big manga/anime fan. I used to watch a lot of anime in the 80's but somehow it all sort of stopped somewhere in the 90's... Recently I re-discovered my old passion for anime I guess and also started watching a "new" (post-2000) anime series titled Highschool of the Dead which left me wanting to watch more series. Only problem was I knew nothing about the newer series,so after some experimenting I bumped into this anime guy I knew from work and he has been introducing me to the newer anime series. :) He did this by letting me watch the first episode of series I was interested in (mainly naughty or more fan service oriented anime series for but also some other ones he suggested) which allowed me to get a feel of the series. This has helped me tremendously as I was just watching series openings before and they often are misleading. Yesterday I went back over to his place and we watched a lot of first episodes and even 1 second episode. We also had a little New Year's celebration which only upped the fun (yes alcohol was involved :party: ). This time we watched these first episodes: Kämpfer Agent Aika Seikon No Qwaser Infinite Stratos Ikki Tousen Heaven's Lost Property And episode 2 of Girls und Panzer! I enjoyed them all though Aika and Ikki Tousen looked decidedly old school to me (Aika is indeed a 90's anime),which is not a bad thing btw. Kämpfer is a weird one with a guy transforming into a girl (but still looking somewhat like a guy) when he goes into battle mode,which can lead to all kinds of fun things I guess. :lol: My favourites out of the bunch would be: Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property) - Opening HD - YouTube Girls und Panzer Opening - YouTube Infinite Stratos and Seikon No Qwaser look very promising as well though... |
Just got a message from my mate and will be exploring more newer anime with him this weekend. ;) |
So...this time we watched first episodes of these shows. My mate included some different genres this time. :) Chobits Needless Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo (Hentai! surprise) The World God Only Knows Ladies Vs Butlers Full Metal Panic! Aria The Scarlet Diva Shuffle Well,Chobits was a really fun mix of scifi and naughtiness,Needless almost gave me a headache (my mate had warned me it could be described as Dragonball Z,not really a fan of that one I'm afraid,meets Mad Max)...as it was so "intense" but I sort of liked it. Kanojo came a bit as a surprise as I wasn't expecting a Hentai but my mate had a good laugh I guess. :lol: It is a very well made Hentai though. The World God Only Knows was ok I guess,Ladies Vs Butlers was naughty fun,Full Metal Panic! was a request as I already watched Fumoffu some time ago,really liked it. Aria and Shuffle were both enjoyable as well. My favourites out of this bunch: Chobits - Opening (HD) - YouTube Full Metal Panic! Opening 1 [1080p HD] |

Steins gate is a personal fave of mine at the minute. |
I'll ask him about those when I visit him again. ;) |
Also nice to see some love for heaven's lost property. There's a huge amount of love put into that show, its one of those where you can tell the creators had a blast making it. Even the end credits are fantastic. |
Would be nice if that one got a UK release,there's a US and Aussie release. |
Best anime reviewers? I've been watching some reviewers on youtube lately...what are the best reviewers (youtube or otherwise) in your opinion? ;) |
Here's 2 I've been watching/exploring. GrArkada has fun reviews but I don't always agree with his opinions. ;) GRArkada - YouTube TuxedoRay is the stereotypical ecchi fan I guess :lol: but he has some interesting videos up if you're into ecchi manga/anime. TuxedoRay - YouTube (NSFW) |
