I own the whole series on dvd and the manga. It's in my top five action shows of all time. Can't wait to see it again on Toonami.
from what i read, it was originally licensed by geneon and then they went out of business and funimation picked up the rights
FLCL is super short though so it cant be on TV forever.
I want it to be forever T_T
My friend (who bugged me to hell and back about SAO) has seen it and has said the same thing. More in-depth, more gaming goodness, and more everything SAO should have been. Gonna get around to it eventually.
I've already seen SAO and while it was kind of "eh, it was okay", they had so much they could have done with it. Both worlds in SAO are pretty cool but we throw that all aside so we can rush through them as fast as possible. I honestly would not have minded if this show had a bunch of filler just to explore the worlds the characters are in. I want to see Klein be the supposed badass he is (apparently no one on his crew died throughout the time spent in SAO) and I want to see Silica be competent on her own and be an awesome beast master. Not sure if that actually happens but dammit that would be cool to see if done right. But no, let's spend time revolving around a hero who we don't actually get to see level up to absurd levels or have any actual challenges thrown his way.
My friend and I were watching it up until the episode before Kirito beats SAO. He pretty much had the same opinion: everything felt rushed and he wanted to see Kirito get actual development.
Really glad Space Dandy and all those new shows will be showing up on Toonami. Everyone's favorite dandy man has really kept my attention focused on Toonami. Kinda fell out of the loop after awhile before SAO started up.
I loved Soul Eater, but a lot of people will tell you that it isn't any good because it deviated too far from the orginal story in the manga. They're right that the story in the manga is much better, but I still think that the anime is a very enjoyable watch. Plus it's got this fantastic character.
that's the beauty of it
Soul Eater isn't finished yet, but so far it's pretty good. There's a slow part around episode 30 ish which continues for quite a while, but once it gets back into the action again I assume it picks up. I say assume cause tonight's episode was that episode in which it got back to business, and it was a lot better than the last few weeks.
That is a character whom you will both love and hate at the same time.
Oh man I remember watching this in high school!
That was hilarious!
I had a good laugh out of thatMissed Space Dandy, will give thoughts on that later.
Tonight's episode of SAO though...oh god..
Fucking hilarious how bad it is. First Kirito repeatedly runs into an invisible wall like a bug into a window, then he gets killed, and then his sister finally realizes who he is, and the amazingly hilarious awkwardness begins.
This sums it up best:
EXCUSE ME! you forgot one crucial detail about that character!
