Spring 2009 Anime - You mean there's stuff besides FMA2?? (like K-ON! apparently)

Aw, we're moving the discussion here? Here's what I know I'll be watching:

SENGOKU MOTHERFUCKING BASARA - Anybody that can watch the OP and not conclude that this is the greatest show of all fucking time is beyond helping. He has six swords! SIX. And the horses with the exhaust pipes and motorcycle handlebars, and the feudal shimmy? T.M. FUCKING REVOLUTION AND NORIO WAKAMOTO IN THE SAME SHOW? I...I... I'm in tears, it's so awesome. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann meets Dynasty Warriors. All that needs to be said.

Fullmetal Alchemist - I'm one of those rare creatures that missed the first show and hasn't read the manga, so this is the perfect opportunity to see what all the fuss is about. Avoiding spoilers will be hell. I already know about the Hughes one, so don't try it. The first episode was pretty awesome Bones fare, and the ED animation is extremely amusing.

Saki - If I'm to understand what Taco has been raving about since it's been announced I'll have to watch it. Too bad I don't know shit about Mahjong. Oh wait! A million TL notes in the first episode, awesome. Surprisingly tasteful for a Gonzo show, no panty shots or anything.

Queen's Blade - How can you not watch this.

That's all I've seen so far, I'll be giving Phantom a look (ahahaha BEE TRAAAIN), as well as the new Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-Hen since ADTRW will be subbing it and thus there'll be a steady steam of subs. Eden of the East looks extremely promising as I've said before, and maybe I'll watch Tayutama too. Can't say there's anything else out there. Asura Cryin worth a look maybe? Hayate S2 looks good but since I haven't watched Season 1 (I'm working on that currently) it'll have to wait.

Go go Spring season.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, he posted that before. I laughed and laughed, and then hoped that he has more reasons for liking the show other than wanting to become that loli's taco.

if you catch my drift

Seems fun so far. Wish I understood more of it though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

loool GurreNBA Lagaan. It was a decent first episode, despite being cliched out the yin yang and having a protagonist that's like Black Star only without the charm that made BS funny and the worst hairstyle I've seen since YuGiOh.

I've got mixed feelings about it. Could be good, could be bad. It's supposed to be cheesy as fuck, giant robots playing basketball and all, but if it takes itself too seriously it's going to suck. That backstory doesn't really have much going for it.

HOWEVER. Big Bust is played by Masumi Asano and I love her voice, so that's one thing the show has going for it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Alright dickheads, we're in week 3 now so I expect to see some lineups and impressions. I'll start off with mine, in order from fav to least favorite.

1) SenBROku Basara -

2) Eden of the East - Another I.G. show which looks pretty awesome. The first episode was good enough, and the Honey & Clover-ish designs actually look damn good. I'm staying for the Kamiyama magic though. I believe in the man.

3) Fullmetal Alchemist: BROtherhood - Uhhhhhh, can't say a lot other than that it's good so far because I don't know jack about the series otherwise! Bones is doing a fine job though.

4) Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z Hen - If you know what Mazinger is, you're probably already watching this. If you don't, look at this. Shame episode 2 ended before the real shit was getting ready to start.

6) Asura Cryin' - Despite being cliched as shit the second episode actually explained a few things better and the third has all kinds of shit blowing up. Misao's funny enough to keep me interested.

7) Tears to Tiara - It's Utawarerumono without the furry stuff. Both games were made by Leaf and the same studio is making the anime, so you can expect good things battle animation and music wise.

7) Summer Storm - The first episode was awesome time travel hijinx and SHAFT all over the place. If it can keep this up it'll be a good step outside of the usual stuff they do. I want to take Jun home.

8) Valkyria Chronicles - I haven't played the game, so I don't get much but it has the Boss! Susie is so moe. Also so useless.

9) Saki - I STILL DON'T GET MAHJONG. It's ok though because I'm entertained enough by the cheesy CG and overreactions when someone makes a play. It's like I'm watching Yu Gi Oh again. "YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP RIICHI!" "OH NO" "AS AN ADDITIONAL EFFECT, I GET 1,000 LIFE POINTS". I am probably watching this for the wrong reasons.

THE REAL #1's) DRAGONBALL KAI and QUEEN'S BLADE - No explanation needed.

I'm adding Shangri-la to the list of dropped shows along with K-ON because the plot is a huge mess and the characters are just a little too much, and also GONZO. Lots of Gonzo in there.

I still need to watch Guin Saga. There's entirely too much good shit this season, I'm not even sure if I'll be able to keep up with all of it. People have been saying that this is the best spring season and years and I have to agree. What are you all keeping up with? Also what needs threads.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

On one hand I want to like Basquash. although I personally have never had any interest in basketball whatsoever football for life scrub The premise is nice, the setting is nice, they even got Tamaki playing the blonde chick that beats Dan in episode 2, but I can't stand the main character.

I'll probably watch episode 3, but man I hate Dan so much.

EDIT: I ALREADY SAID THAT IN THIS THREAD ACER YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY ALREADY

I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

ahahahahaha oh my god

How ya doing, buddy?

To expand upon what Saka said, it's based upon this.

Also its probably done well enough because most of the images contained within are borderline porn, just like the anime.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Curiously enough they do avoid that, but then again... (NSFW as fuck)

I'm pretty sure the ero -> censored method works better. There's no reason to go to the original source if the adaptation gives everything away.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
