One show that still stands out to me for strong character development is Gurren Lagann. The interesting part about this show is Simon's development from a mere underground driller to a universal hero. You see him as a milquetoast in the first half of the show while being encouraged by his mentor Kamina, then when it hits ep8, he's tested by a great tragic loss that can either put him in the pits forever or move on. Of course, he overcomes that loss in ep11 which is probably my all time favorite anime episode and I get man tears every time I watch it. Everything about that episode is so well done; the lines, action, music placement, character interactions, etc. Simon becomes his own man by taking on leadership, delivering a Kamina class speech, performing the giga drill break all on his own, and doing the impossible possible (ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH! lol) when all odds are stacked against him. He surpasses his mentor on almost everything that makes him a symbol of hope for humanity's survival. Simon's growth as a character is truly inspiring.

Jotaro Kujo, y so tsundere

my opinions about nazi and alice in wonderland in vk (bullshit alert) :

I got up to ep 25, but which 2 parts do you mean? One of them definitely had to be when Cars took Lisa Lisa's legs and started playing guitar with them! lol

Also forgot to mention - I love the fact that the same dude that voices Dio in JJBA also voices Kuzan/Aoikiji in ONE PIECE. that voice is unmistakable!

lol

lmao @ there being a minor character named 'Loggins' in JJBA. Many of the character names are funny, but only a few ppl here might know why I find that one to be particularly funny
 
Also, I'll just leave this here. Best 8 seconds of any anime ever
 

How about we talk about the best actor in Game of Thrones, that being Rory McCann who plays Sandor Clegane AKA The Hound. Seriously probably the best actor in the show, just check out his audition tape below...
 

 
Talk about powerful acting. Not to mention he was the best in the first episode of the new season, just amazing.

Naw I haven't watched either of the OVAs, and I'm not in no particular rush to do so either... After watching the series a second time I really did come to the realization that the show is kinda bad, so I'm not really looking forward to watching more shit I'll probably wait for the third OVA to come out later this year and then get through with it all at once.

Hunter x Hunter episode 125.... Just absolutely fucking amazing! It's been a while since I've watched something that had me sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time covered with goosebumps

I'm over the half way point for my Kill la Kill AMV. Hopefully it'll get done by the end of this week, if not, earlier.
 

Hello there! While most people here like to draw or do graphic design, I like to video edit.
Here are some of my AMVs. Don't worry, these aren't crappy like the ones you see with fansubbed footage or long cuts with nothing in sync. I've spent months on some of these. So I hope you enjoy!

nope. I'm a NEET so I don't really go anywhere that would warrant me having to look presentable, plus I'm a dude so I don't wear makeup... I don't care about my hair enough to "style" it, I just put it in a  ponytail and leave it at that.

HAh, you're right. It's a profile picture.
I just wanted to compliment Suzaku's avatar and this thread seemed appropriate.
 
Yours is a 10/10 too because...well....I don't think it needs an explanation.
I'll leave now so this thread can be used at it is intended. *scurry, scurry, scurry*

2/10
 
not much of an avatar... sorry.

So I recently started 3 other anime series (in addition to Noragami)...which make 4 shows - odd for me since I'm used to only doing 1 or 2 shows at a time lol.
 
Anyways, watched the 3rd ep of noragami and I'm really enjoying it so far.
 
Watched the first 2 eps of Durarura...the first episode left me with a lukewarm impression, as I had no idea where the anime was going. I still have no idea what this show is about (i never read any of the synopsis - really just trying it because sai and saku like it), but 2nd episode is really intriguing. It definitely has my interest so far.
 
I also watched the first 2 eps of Gundam Build Fighters - and I have to apologize to saku and flame for being so close-minded in regards to this show. As a gundam fan, and as a guy who used to buy Gundam model kits as a kid, this show appeals to me on a number of levels. I originally thought the show who was going to be "gundam for little kids", but it's just light-heared, fun and a refreshingly original take on the Gundam franchise - just as saku and flame told me lol (*bows down*). Even though I'm still a U.C. nut, I'm really really enjoying this so far. (When I saw Ramba Ral aka "Mr, Ral", I couldn't help but crack up).
 
And lastly, I started off Jojo's Bizarre Adventure by also watching the first 2 eps. I've been seeing a ton of cool gifsets/pics of this series via saku on tumblr, and since both saku and turtels highly recommend it, I figured I'd give it a shot. It's entertaining so far...saku mentioned that it's based on a "30 Y.O. manga franchise" and I can definitely see the classic appeal. ;3

^ Yo I saw the sample of your AMV the other night during the Kill la Kill stream on shinstation, and it looks good man and props on the Gazette song! perfect choice.

Thanks for the review Zess, I was already thinking of not listening to this and you pretty much confirmed my doubts. It's pretty sad that lynch has become like this... but oh well it happens all the time.

Score: | How disappointing...
 
Let's get something out of the way early: this album sounds like shit.
 
The production is abysmal. Their standards have been slipping ever since I BELIEVE IN ME, and the EXODUS EP released not too long ago was a little dry for my taste. In comparison, this is a desert. A vast, barren desert where the bass and treble are too damn high, and the midsection is non existent. For a casual listener of music, this may not be an issue. But for an enthusiast like me who invested a few hundred bucks into his listening equipment, I hear nothing but production flaws. It's enough to turn potentially great songs into good songs, and mediocre songs into indistinguishable rumbling, and it's enough to take a point off the top automatically.
 
There is the odd occasion in which I can overlook lackluster production if the quality of the music is great. I've been a fan of lynch. for years, and they are one of my favorite bands, so this would be one of those times...except it's not. This album is both too long and too repetitive, and whatever ideas lynch. had didn't stretch over all songs equally. There are tracks like ENVY, DEVIL, and PHOENIX that are okay, but there's nothing that's really good. Just average songs and shit songs.
 
What's lacking is enough to scratch off two more points. There's not enough clean vocals, pop influence, or melodic variety for my tastes. For example, BULLET was decent up until the one minute mark, where the band launches into 2014's dullest breakdown. If it were just BULLET, I'd write it off as a bad track. But there are too many nameless, faceless tracks that follow one after the other that feel like cut and paste sections of melodies. Almost every track is awash with monotone harsh vocals, which becomes unpleasant to listen to after the sixth or seventh track. If it weren't already bad enough, every time there's an opportunity for a track's arrangement to grow they either repeat themselves or launch into a breakdown. The songs themselves feel too constrained and recycled, and while I don't mind if a band recycles riffs from time to time, three times in one album is too much. If you want examples, attempt to describe to yourself the differences in riffs on MAD, MERCILESS, and GUILLOTINE. I can't.
 
So 2014 comes and goes and lynch. swings and misses again. The constant misplaced metalcore influences are irritating, and lynch.'s inconsistency on the detail and creative fronts are sinking their credibility as a band that can produce decent albums at worst. If they're going to continue to show so little compositional enthusiasm, they may as well just stop.

I found a few more.
