A week or so ago, the boys on the Giant Bomb podcast were talking about weddings incorporating video games as a theme. They advised against it. This seems to fit that same idea. Unless the couple met at a One Piece convention or worked in some way with the franchise, I can't think of a positive reason to have a wedding aboard this attraction. Maybe I'm old fashioned but it ...

@DBZ_universe said:so is it mostly about comedy?The little bit I've seen of it, yes. It was introducing some more serious topics with the racism and such when I put it on hold, but yeah it was very much an action comedy. The next 40+ episodes could go in another direction, but the first 10 are goofy fun. Hell, one of the villains shoots a beam from his crotch.

Summer Anime 2012: Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate Trailer
on the Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate board.
This could be cool in a leisurely way the same way that Sora no Manimani was. I liked that show about friends in an astronomy club, so if this is similar, I could get into it.

Spring 2012 Anime Trailer: Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future
on the Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future board.
I still need to catch PR-Aurora Dream. I also still need to watch The Idolm@ster. *Sigh*, I'm behind again but ah well. I like shows like this; lighthearted "pursue your dreams" stuff. I enjoyed the male-oriented versions of these types of shows in Eyeshield 21 and Inazuma Eleven, too. I don't worry about intended age demographic when watching a series. If it's entertaining, that all I care about. That's why ...

I've seen the first 10 or so, and enjoy it. From what I've seen so far it's a lot of fun. I could see that the main plot line in the anime was just beginning where I left off. I need to get back to it someday. I haven't read any of the manga.

So what do you think of Toonamis new lineup?
on the General Discussion board.
Not impressed. Like I said in another thread, this looks like the same old Saturday night anime block they've been running for years, but now CN is calling it "Toonami" in hopes to grabbing a few more ratings points from nostalgia. But, it's not the Toonami we remember at all. I don't see any reason to stay up late to catch this new iteration. I'll probably check out some of ...

What would be the Ideal Lineup for Toonami's Revival?
on the Toonami board.
Well, for me, Toonami was best in the 1990's so I decided to pick a line-up of only 1990's shows (I fudged around the edges in though). I only had two requirements. One, to the best of my knowledge, the show must not have aired on Toonami in the past. New Toonami, new set of shows. That means no DBZ, Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing. Second, obviously there had to ...

@FoxxFireArt said:I'm deeply concerned about their definition of "original anime programming".Maybe they mean something like the second season of Big O which Cartoon Network co-produced. Either that or Megas XLR and Samurai Jack which ran on Toonami back in the 00's. Those weren't really anime shows, but there was some anime flavor to them."Beginning Saturday, May 26, Adult Swim brings back Toonami, the network's popular block of anime programming. Airing ...

Between this and the Saint's Row The Third "Enter the Dominatrix" gag turned real, I wonder if April 1st is becoming a testing ground for unconventional releases.As I said in another thread, I'll check it out for nostalgia's sake but I have no interest in making Toonami a regular habit again. Anime on TV is usually too edited for me to enjoy, plus there's the dub issue. Back when it ...

Nope. Fujiko is one of my favorite anime heroines, but I don't want a giant statue of her. I wouldn't want a life-sized statue of Master Chief, Boba Fett or Lebron James either.There's only one statue I wouldn't mind owning, but I'm not sure where I'd keep it.

I'll check it out for nostalgia's sake, but I have no plans to make a habit of the anime block. I have little interest in watching shows in English these days. Yeah, that's snobby of me, but I just prefer the sound of the original Japanese voices especially when I hear them first. Okay, Goku might be the one exception. This is a discussion about sub vs dub though, so ...

Well, the first one is pretty easy, Usagi Tsukino aka Sailor Moon (or Neo Queen Serenity). While she gives birth to Chibiusa in the future, past or future, she is who she is and her younger, pre-motherhood self raises the child. It's an odd relationship, but I can't dismiss the love Usagi has for her daughter in both timelines.Following, I must give props to Aki Hinata, mother of Natsumi and ...

If you liked Blue Exorcist, you might want to check out Beelzebub and Black Cat. There are elements in those series that are similar to those themes found in Blue Exorcist. Another possible show is A Certain Magical Index (seasons 1 & 2) and A Certain Scientific Railgun which takes place before and during season 1 of Magical Index. I am hesitant to recommend Index though because it contains some ...

Well, it is Japanese media, but due to the recent uncertainty around Bayonetta 2, I was wondering why that title hadn't been made into an anime. If Devil May Cry can have one, I don't see why the ecchi-heavy Bayonetta doesn't deserve one, too.As for non-Japanese media, my first choice would be Disney's Kim Possible. Hopefully, it would be a damned sight better than the obnoxious Powerpuff Girls Z anime. ...

I have a list of stuff here which you might want to take a look at :Under-suggested shows for the anime novice (nothing too deep here) Many of the shows might fit your tastes.
1 week, 6 days ago
This is a great list with some good concise reviews. I like this a lot and wish it was easier to track additions to these types of things. For now, I'll be bookmarking it for future reference. I still need to see about a dozen of what you've listed myself. I look forward to several now that I've read your comments.

Couple of episodes in Toaru Majutsu no Index, it seems really slow and the characters aren't really doing it for me. Hopefully it picks up.
