I’m relatively new here, who is this infamous mga? :3
and infamous failtroll with a stick up his arse, got banned and we had like a 20-page thread taking the piss out of him, including fake accounts, supposedly his relatives, etc.
This week’s HXH chapter was really strange. The king of the ants feeding off of his followers to regain his strength 
.
Cheers.
Still hasn’t died from cancer, I guess.:3
No, you’re thinking of the “Indonesian” user. I believe mga brought up some stupid topic like Xbox/Halo/Mac and got flamed, then raged out leading to many comics depicting his sad self being made.
Yeah, that was Fee…such a great man.
I will miss him for sure.
ooh yes, apologies…
Hehe, oh Fee…
…is it a bad thing that we’re getting our trolls confused and they’re starting to run together?
Not one mention of Baccano in this thread?
That makes me a sad panda.
I mean, what more explanation of its awesomeness do you need than it featuring mafia types in a prohibition era, violent, eccentric character filled world?
New York Yankees assaulting prohibition era mafioso and making off with their bags is not awesome, just strange. Like ALL anime.
I remember there being a thread about Baccano a while ago and I’ve been meaning to give it a try but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Goddamn it, music in anime is either incredibly awesome, like Seatbelts in Cowboy Bebop, or madly insanely catchy, despite not being that good. K-On! Why the fuck I watched it I don;t know, but now I have the theme stuck in my head. 
Heh, I know what you mean. I really don’t like either of the Haruhi intro songs but they can get stuck in your head. I absolutely love the intros to Gurren Lagann, Kare Kano, Excel Saga, and of course, Trigun.

Anyway, I haven’t watched them in forever so I kinda forgot how awesome they are, but Full Metal Panic! and Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid are really good. Way better than Fumoffu.
Fumoffu was a school life comedy and the other two were action dramas, so it’s more a difference of genre than difference of quality. I would recommend FMP! and FMP! TSR for action fans and Fumoffu for comedy/school life fans, they were all well done.
The only thing is, I have the same problem with FMP! and FMP! TSR that I have with almost every mecha series: the “heart” factor, or whatever you want to call it. In FMP! it’s called the Lambda Driver. In Evangelion it was the AT Field, in Gurren Lagann it was Spiral Power, etc. It seems like every single mecha series resorts to using this deus ex machina to explain why the good guys win. It’s not that they were better tacticians, or were better armed, or that they got the people to rise up, or even that they were loyal teammates. No, they won because they believed they could. Somehow, because they believed in themselves, the pieces of metal they piloted could suddenly transform, or use super powers, or whatever. Maybe its supposed to encourage you to believe in yourself, or believe in the power of the heart, but it just seems stupid and (now) unoriginal to me.

Sorry, just bugs me.
I definitely agree, I find the Lambda driver to be my least favorite part if not my only disliked part of the FMPF. It bugs me when, not just in animes but in books and movies as well, there is some moral about the power of the “Heart”. It’s a silly untrue and unoriginal moral, and I feel good morals are found in real life, not fiction.
My problem with Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu isn’t the genre (I loved Negima!), it’s that the plots are completely ridiculous and not even as funny as FMP! and TSR, which aren’t even comedies. Like “The Hard Sell Fetish”, a guy runs around in a horse costume and attacks girls and forces their hair into pony tails.
Ghost in the Shell, Making of a Cyborg is truly epic stuff.
Just watched 2.0 and 2: Innocence back to back. Truly, truly epic. That’s the way all television should be like.
