Posted by arren18 on 10.04.2015, 11:24 AM: Returning to this thread now after watching that and Tsukimonogatari as well, I know what you mean by "very weird and scary". I've looked at the timeline for the books and I think when the gap before that arc is filled, that appearance will be explained. So weird though.

Posted by Saddletank on 10.04.2015, 04:06 PM: I'm pleased they have persevered with this series of books over several years. I think its different enough from the run-of-the-mill anime we see so much of and therefore good reason to make the books into anime. It has a style all of its own, unique, clever and enthralling with complex and humorous characters.

Posted by Kazegami on 10.07.2015, 06:30 PM: I just finished Akagami no Shirayuki-hime. Lovely series. A sweet, well-paced romantic story, likeable characters, nice animation... best soundtrack I've heard in some time. I give it an 8/10. I don't think it broke any new ground, but it was very satisfying, fun to watch; I got invested in the characters and their relationships. Very nice. ^^
I'm not sure what I'll start next. I've got heaps of possibilities in mind. Rokka no Yuusha is tempting me though. Edit: Started Rokka no Yuusha. It's not bad so far. The character designs are pretty. The characters themselves... not the most interesting so far, but I'll keep watching. Edit 2: Kept watching. It's good! I'm up to episode 10 now. For the first time in... years? I'll be watching a whole series in one day. Edit 3: Finished it. Mm, it was enjoyable. What do I give it... a 7/10? That seems about right.

Posted by FlareNetworkC on 10.08.2015, 09:59 PM: I'm debating with myself on whether or not to add the Monogatari series to my To Watch list. Is it any good? Sugar Sweet Nightmare has been stuck in my head for the past week.

Posted by Kazegami on 10.08.2015, 10:33 PM: I keep hearing that's it is, very much so. I watched a bit of Bakemonogatari a long while back, and it was good. Very original. So even though I haven't seen much, I'd say it's probably worth trying.

Posted by arren18 on 10.11.2015, 11:06 AM: Kaz, there's a new season of Noragami that's just started! So it will be twice as long.
|
Posted by Kazegami on 10.11.2015, 07:04 PM: My friend just mentioned that about Noragami too. : D That's great, I'll definitely be watching. I'll probably wait until it's finished airing if it's on currently. The way I'm devouring series' right now, waiting would be annoying.

Posted by Lynnie on 10.12.2015, 12:09 PM: Just started to re-watch the 90s anime of Sailor Moon, with the new dub so it has the original script/no censoring/etc.
|
Posted by Kazegami on 10.17.2015, 06:41 PM: I finished Natsume Yuujinchou. That was a nice series. It was very gentle. There was no overarching plot particularly; the story I suppose was simply the development of the protagonist, Natsume; the gradual changing of his views and feelings as he met different people. And that worked just fine.

Posted by arren18 on 10.21.2015, 11:59 AM: Another series I've started watching is Osomatsu-san. It's an update of Osomatsu-kun, a comedy manga/anime from the 60s and 80s, but not knowing the original source material hasn't been a problem. Actually it's hilarious so far, with varied humour. The first episode is an extended parody of the recent wave of bishounen-centred shows, the second is more about the characters, and then the third is a collection of strange segments along the lines of Nichijou. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes next!

Posted by Saddletank on 10.25.2015, 05:09 AM: My moods and ability to keep up interest in a series has been patchy recently so I have several series on the go that I have let slide for weeks or months.

Posted by FlareNetworkC on 10.27.2015, 08:30 PM: OOOHHH tell me what you think of Shin Sekai Yori, as I'm considering watching it soon.

Posted by husky51 on 10.29.2015, 01:18 PM: Re-watching "Fruits Basket" Always enjoyable... |
Posted by Saddletank on 10.29.2015, 04:35 PM: Flare - I had a go at Kara no Kyoukai years ago. I think I've watched 2 or 3 episodes, but it was a bit too weird for me. I also recall the episodes are not in chronological order. Perhaps I should give it a second try.
|
Posted by FlareNetworkC on 10.29.2015, 05:52 PM: The problem is I started watching it a month ago, and it's a very dialogue heavy anime, which means I'm probably gonna need to start all over.
|
Posted by Saddletank on 10.30.2015, 05:12 AM: I think that was what it was about Kara - just so slooooow.
|
Posted by FlareNetworkC on 10.30.2015, 07:59 PM: I'd definitely agree with how slow it is, Saddles. And it isn't like Steins;Gate where there's other stuff to distract from the slowness. I think I'll save Kara for a time when I have less stuff to watch.

Posted by Koda on 11.02.2015, 07:20 PM: Watching Log Season 2, not sure if this season is as good so far. I keep getting into it then having to go work or something. Need to marathon it

Posted by Saddletank on 11.02.2015, 08:35 PM: Almost completed rewatching (for the 3rd time) Bakemonogatari 2nd Season. I'm at the awesome final story arc involving Hitagi, Kaiki and !InsaneGod Nadeko. This is just so... so terrific. So GOOD. Such amazing artwork. I'm always stunned by how cool, clever and stylish this series is. The people at Shaft deserve some kind of award for this.
