I don't know how often you read this thread but..

I don't respond normally. At least if I do, I've blanked it out because of trauma.

Otherwise a quality post.

THE COURAGE TO ADMIT YOU GOT INTO MOST ANIME BECAUSE OF BLEACH!

[NickRiddle]

Hey man I was like

Fifteen

CUT ME SLACK

Bleach was bad when you were 15 too, btw.
The ONLY reason I read it, was because I heard Aizen died, and it kept going.
And it wasn't COPMLETELY TERRIBLE.
Then it became worse, so I stopped.

It's like, the only reason I watch Naruto is because I'm ****ing 999999999999 chapters in, and... it has to end soon... right?



Btw, Chihayafuru OST is never getting off my computer/my car/my head.
Thanks Zone Ahri~

[fkacyan]

the Aizen arc was JUST ENDING when I picked up Bleach

god wtf

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

I got into anime because of

DNAngel.


Yup.

Chihayafuru on my Mp3phone and forever on repeat. I regret nothing.

You better like the OP and ED now.

I still read Bleach because it has to end soon... right?
They're on a 3 week break now... they must be coming up with something new.
'new'



Naruto isn't that bad tho

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

No johns

I never watched it. I just don't give a **** about the premise. Never liked hard shounen.

 

[fkacyan]

There's some excellent hard shounen out there, it's just hard to find, or is so close to being seinen that people consider it as such.

By far my favorite genre though is

Spoiler

well-done romantic comedy

. Or just

Spoiler

straight comedy

Oh, Cross Game.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Favorite animus (not ordered):

Samurai Champloo
Katanagatari
Natsume Yuujinchou
Chihayafuru

Honorable mentions:
Spice and Wolf
Hellsing

I like animes with a good atmosphere :3

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Brave10 is pretty brutal btw. Good seinen.

 

[fkacyan]

Spice and Wolf is excellent if only slightly offputting because

Spoiler

furries

.

ANDROSS!!!!!

What is this I don't even?
This is what you get for not coming over to chillax.

Superior taste, etc.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Sry Shaya but ur still Australian and are thus .ot allowed to mock Andrews taste in this thread.

Spoiler

who am i kidding

Spoiler

I think I invented mocking andrew's taste.
Due credit is due.

But in reality, the reason we dog andrew's taste is not because the shows he likes are bad (nearly every show everyone else likes is bad too), but the fact that he doesn't remind people how bad the shows he is watching are before stating he enjoys them.

 

[Dr. Tuen]

Mmm, manga/anime. I like what I like because I like it. I don't really care about public perception or what not. That said, I did end up going for the popular stuff... /shrug. I've had the tendency recently to switch to just reading the Manga too. Less filler that way. Anyways, things I like:

Bleach/Naruto/One Piece
Air Gear
Death Note
Hajime No Ippo
Liar Game

Mmm, stuff like that. Since a lot of those are on going, it keeps me entertained week-by-week. I really should watch some anime, but in the instance of watching things, I prefer to work with stuff that's already complete. I think the last thing I watched was the second season of Toaru Majutsu No Index. Oh and I'm watching the Persona 4 animation. Super hype for that one!

===

I also saw the title of the thread with the words "Chip" and "Zero" and I thought we were going to start talking about UMVC3. Zero's my point character in that :-D.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Zero as point... Million damage off an airthrow booyah!

Liar Game manga had updates recently. Its still amazingly good so check it outtt



also not watching p4 because... Well... I beat the game 3/4 times, the story is getting kinda redundant haha

 

[fkacyan]

Oh, Air Gear. I loved the premise but had to completely drop it when it went all SHOUNEN SINDUROMU on me and it was kids with military grade rollerblade wheels and world governments and ****. I wish I could go back in time and convince them to... I dunno... Not go the route he did? Goddammit OH!GREAT. God. Dammit.

I actually got into manga the same way, Tuen. I've probably read about a good 90% of the series available on the internet now, or at least started them before dropping them in disinterest. So much manga... I have at least 5 releases a day I read now ongoingly, not counting the more irregular stuff or new series I try out / marathon if they're already done.

The hardest thing for me at the given moment is waiting for Fate/Zero to finish so I can watch it all at once. Aaaaaargh.

EDIT: Also, I'm super hyped that Baby Steps! is coming out a chapter or two a day right now. Fantastic tennis manga, actually somewhat realistic and decent character progression thus far.

 

[asianaussie]

hey guys i read bleach

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

AizenAussie

 

[Shaya]

Supposedly the latest episode of P4 is P3.

I'm pretty sure I've dropped the series. Haven't played the games, the story looks alright, but I'm just CBF.

PLAY THE GAMES

Its like

JRPG + Visual Novel

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

Spoiler

nothing the games are fantastic

 

[asianaussie]

been yearning for a copy of P4 forever

the anime is ok

AizenAussie

this is simultaneously the greatest and worst thing ever

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Namechange imo

 

[fkacyan]

P4 is out of print 4EVA unless you want to buy a Vita (LOL) and get the new p4 for that

Alternately you could play a ROM on an emulator.

 

[asianaussie]

there are online suppliers i can get P4 from for $30, which i would need to use anyway since aus has ****-all in terms of selection

also i want the vita regardless, so i might go that route

 

[fkacyan]

I would really hold out on the vita

Like super really

It might not survive long enough to justify a purchase

either that or the price will drop.

 

[asianaussie]

there are like 10 psp/vita games i'm looking forward to

but im in med this year so **** me, i might not even get to play them

 

[Zero]

Time to drop up into CS, where you have all the spare time in the world!

!

..yeah.

 

[asianaussie]

not even close

come be tech support for monash

they don't really need it but hey, free unlimited internet for anything but torrenting and ecchi sketchy

 

[Zero]

No, uni tech support would be infinitely worse than Cisco tech support.

If I have to deal with absolute idiots at a Fortune 100 company, I shudder to think what tech support for less exclusive organisations would be like.

 

[NickRiddle]

Thio, I love your taste in random sports manga. Next you will tell me you read Kurouko no Basket.

 

[asianaussie]

...

come to melbourne so we can hype up about meeting then awkwardly have a couple drinks and part in similar awkward fashion

because you can't talk about anime in bars, it's against the rules

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Hah, wouldn't that be something, right Nick?

Inb4 its true because duhhh

 

[Zero]

AA are you serious about Summersmash? I'll have to organise to get that week off if you are.

 

[asianaussie]

i intend to go to canberra and drive up with mates to brisbane or wherever it is with setups for some 64 matches, spread the word etc

who am i kidding im going since im bored as hell

but yes im serious about going

 

[Zero]

Righto, cool. What week is it?
