Which anime are you watching or watched recently?

[Ameriganastan]

We can talk about Toriko. An anime about food.

We have now officially gotten so fat that our anime is now about food?

Boo. 0 stars.

Yeah. Did I mention it's an action show, and the chef guy looks like this? And he hunts down fearsome and legendary beasts to make meals out of?

[Old Tyrannia]

OK, so I've just finished Death Note. It was pretty good, hard to say anything without spoiling it. Probably the most engrossing anime I've watched since Code Geass. Misa Amane was my favourite character. A great deal was made of how stupid she was towards the end of the series, but I actually thought she came across as one of the cleverest characters of all, not least because she was smart enough to act dumb when needed. Now I've gone back to Evangelion, which I must admit got a helluva lot more interesting after Asuka came into it, even though she annoys the hell out of me. I still don't actually like any of the characters except Shinji and I still think that's just because he has Rolo's voice and I still love Rolo (platonically) which combined with the fact that Misa is my favourite Death Note character makes me wonder why I always seem to like yandere characters...

Oh, and Kyo Kara Maoh is pretty good. Nice to have something light hearted to go back to between the darker animes. Fullmetal Alchemist is next on my list followed by Hetalia Axis Powers. And I need to get around to watching Akito the Exiled.

Clearly, it's Burger King propaganda.

The reason why you probably liked Death Note as much as Code Geass is because Code Geass is basically Death Note: The Mecha. I enjoyed both very much. For me, the MC is what dragged me in. The INTJ/Mastermind character is just engrossing. I want to know their plans, how they execute them, and if they will succeed. And then these Mastermind archetypes are usually anti-hero too, and they usually play foil to the idealist antagonist.

NGE (inb4 Ameri says something about NGE being shit or Asuka is a bitch) doesn't hit it's stride until episode 16. From then on, you see what it really is all about. If it wasn't for the budget cuts, NGE would have stayed in the 90s. Instead, we have NGE.

If you like Yandere, check out Mirai Nikki.

You'll enjoy FMA. I've never met a person who didn't enjoy FMA (or Brotherhood). And Akito the Exiled isn't too exciting. It might get more interesting as the story develops.

Yup.

Dr. Pepper is the hypest shit.

[Ameriganastan]

On that note, I'm finding Steins;Gate loads more interesting than Robotic;Notes.

Nice

It would only be natural that one finds STEINS;GATU more fascinating than anything.

[Empire of Symphonia]

Code Geass
Hetalia
Zombie Loan

And then High School of the Dead. That show is freakin scary in the first couple episodes, and then it becomes ok afterwards. But God, that school became a slaughterhouse.....

Dude, there is nothing scary about that show.

I don't know why people say that. Yes, Lelouch and Light have some similarities, but the shows aren't that similar.

Even the similarities between Lelouch and Light are overstated. Light is a much darker and less sympathetic character, IMHO. Lelouch had a dark side, but ultimately was more noble than Light. He genuinely cared about his friends and subordinates, while Light just used people for his own ends. And in the end Lelouch was willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the world, whereas Light always put his own life first.

Not that I've forgiven Lelouch for the way he treated Rolo, of course.

[Ameriganastan]

What, he was supposed to be all hugs and kisses to the plant pretending to be his brother? Oh, and that little hitch of

him killing Shirley

kinda factors in here too...

[Nationalist Eminral Republic]

I'm at episode 3-ish of Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun, I don't know if I should continue it cause I find the storyline boring. I'm planning on watching Zero no Tsukaima.

It wasn't really his fault he was screwed up. He'd spent his whole life being used as a tool to kill- he didn't know anything but killing. All he wanted was for someone to love him.

Oh, cry me a river. The kid was still an imposter, put there to keep Lelouch brainwashed. His pity party backstory didn't garner any sympathy out of me.

He did sacrifice himself to save Lelouch's life in the end, though. Surely that must garner some sympathy.

Anyway, I like him. And in the end, isn't everyone else's opinion irrelevant considering I'm the centre of the universe?

No, it didn't. I'm an emotionless bastard, and

I was happy to see the little tumor die.

Hetalia. Do the Italia Shuffle!

[Nucoso]

I was watching High school of the Dead, but I kinda left it aside. I am in need of some amazing anime, suggestions?

btw, I prefer high-schoolsy anime like Angel Beats, Fruits Basket, stuff like that

Kokoro Connect sounds like it'd be right up your alley.
