As for tokyo ghoul, i think it's amazing and apparently the writer of tokyo ghoul and Hunter x Hunter are the same person.


They aren't. Neither the manga nor either of the TV series share any staff.

In other news, Grisaia no Rakuen is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I've watched to completion in years. Kajitsu was alright, but Rakuen was just utter ********.


Interesting you think that about Rakuen I thought the opposite was very disappointed by Kajitsu and really enjoyed Rakuen


It's not really a question of enjoyment so much as I just find Rakuen stretches my suspension of disbelief a little far. Oh sure, Kajitsu has it's share of ridiculousness as well, but it's all contained to individual arcs, so that makes it easier to swallow and I never ended up questioning it. One of the main things that gets to me about Rakuen is the timeline, I struggle to believe that Yuuji could:

- live a normal enough life to a certain age
-be kidnapped by Oslo and be his pet for a time
-go through terrorist school
-Be saved and rehabilitated by Asako
-Attend and graduate from military training
-Do a tour of duty
-Work for CIRS

and still be of a low enough age where he could attend high school. There also tended to be a few to many conveniences and the series had a habit of pulling things out of its ass at times. I still liked it, but it was just very shoddy in the writing sometimes. Also, anyone who paints an anti-material rifle pink is a heretic.

Ah well, not like I was expecting much from it anyways, only reason I watched it was because I saw a .gif of that scene where Makina's skirt jumps up from the rifle concussion, and I wanted context for that scene.

I got into Anime and Manga through watching SAO as it was being released, and I loved it, so I carried on watching Anime.

I was not disappointed when I discovered yet more Anime which I was drawn to, like Naruto (which I've only seen 50 episodes of, still). Anyway, I continued to watch Anime, and began to use Anime forums to find other likeminded anime watchers, to delve into other areas of the genre. However, I soon realised there was a lot of hate for mainstream anime shows such as SAO and now Attack on Titan (less so).

Is this dislike for SAO because it truly is a bad anime, but my unseasoned anime brain enjoyed it, or is it because it is mainstream? Honest question

I think its safe to say that turning the Grisaia series into an anime was a bad idea. Or maybe it was a bad idea for 8bit to produce it since they could never fund a series as grand as the Grisaia series. The anime had a massive loss of character development... “Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel: You will fare well if you follow it, It will help you much if you heed it. If aware that another is wicked, say so: Make no truce or treaty with foes.” - Havamal 127

A bit of both in all honesty while there are a few regular posters on here who will disagree with me sao is not an awful show.....however its also not the best anime ever made as many make it out to be it suffers from the amount of hype it got before it actually aired and it ultimately failed to live up to that hype when it did air same with aot though as you say to a lesser degree

It truly is a bad anime, but your unseasoned anime brain enjoyed it. A lot of people like it but trick themselves into thinking it's terrible because it's the "cool" thing to do. Such people will still have Attack on Titan, Naruto, No Game No Life, Mirai Nikki, Elfen Lied, etc. on their favorites.

A true connoisseur, such as myself, see it for the **** that it is however.

Okay guys came to off topic to post a thread but see there is a sticky here so i'll get right to it. I'm looking for an 'epic' anime. By that i mean it needs to have action of course, and have those awesome moments of triumph like you will see on some of the top rated anime. (My definition of an epic moment would be when Ichigo turned into gets**a tensho, when Lelouch defeats his father and rules the world, all those times Natsu ate something and transformed to be more badass, and lots more that i just cant think of atm)

Of course I have watched some of the more... 'subtle' anime if you know what I mean, but i'm looking for some stuff I can really get into right now, as atm im stuck watching one episode of One Piece, Fairy Tail (2014), and Naruto (if it isnt a filler............) every week. Here is a list of most of the anime I have watched, but I couldn't remember every single one, but please don't hesitate to recommend!
