    • Just saw the first episode of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun...
      A nice little hatsukoi series, and good for a chuckle.

        • I forget, was Cowboy Bebop the one that was influenced by Western culture? As it seems that Space Dandy's doing the same thing, what with the newest episode being a parody of "Grease/High School Musical". Oh, and I got it wrong, Shinichiro Watanabe is actually the director of the show, not just a guy who works on it.

          • Wasn't Bebop commissioned like Big O was?

            Dandy is pretty obviously based on Western culture - very few definite Eastern/Japanese elements in it. Most of those are possibly accidental (like when Western characters use Japanese apologies in other animes)

              Well, that, and the dubbed version of Dandy was actually released in America before the undubbed version was released in Japan. So, yeah, it's clearly aimed at Western culture.....even if I'm the only one who likes it.

                  I like it a little - there are a few good episodes. You aren't totally alone...

                    Eh, I was talking in reference to people I actually know. The show actually has a considerable fanbase considering how little time it's been running for.

                        Chrawnus had his own One Piece thread back before the crash. Haven't seen him in a while though.

                          • Are there any good slice-of-life anime's worth watching at the moment?

                            Comment


                            • Time for a bump.

                              So, what animes are you guys currently following? The animes I've watched this recent season and enjoyed are:

                              Parasyte - the Maxim (Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu) - Probably the best anime of the recent (Fall 2014) season. And it's going to continue into the Winter 2015 season, which is good.

                              Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works - Haven't actually watched more than the first 3 episodes, but I've liked what I've seen so far

                              Hitsugi no Chaika: Avenging Battle - The continuation of a series that began in Spring 2014

                              Log Horizon 2

                              Animes I'm anticipating right now:

                              Durarara!!x2 Shou - Have to watch the season 1 first though

                              JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 2 This series is so over the top with the voice acting that you can't help but love it. Well, the japanese version atleast; the snippets of the dub from Stardust Crusaders (the previous season) that I could find, while not terrible, didn't even come close to the over the top voice acting of the original japanese cast.

                              Tokyo Ghoul √A - Will probably turn out to be the best anime of Winter 2015. I'm also looking forward to seeing whether or not Kaneki will continue to be as badass as he was in the end of the first season.

                              That's about it. Here's an OST from Parasyte to close it off:

                              Parasyte - Next to You


                              Oh and before I forget. Teallaura have you begun reading Hiatus x Hiatus yet?
