So, what anime series are you currently watching? I figure there are probably people here that are watching the same thing and it would be nice to get some conversations going on different series ... Right now I've been watching: High School of the Dead (I think this is on hiatus for a while) |

Clonewarrior, i just read the synopsis of your series ... "The story follows a series of bizarre murders of schoolgirls who have been dismembered and stuffed into boxes." That's fucked up ... Is it any good? oooohh ... Shikabane Hime was so morbid! LOL I watched that one a while back and was amazed at the ending ... (not saying it was an awesome ending, im saying i was amazed at the morbid ending) Also i tried GunXSword the other day ... it was kinda meh so I havent watched more than one episode ... |

When i posted was when i was going to see it, unfortunally th mkvs were broken... downloading them again to see if i cna finally watch them (dan bad luck, first borken, 2nd broken links half way, 3th no subtitles, 4th... lets see ) Shikabane Hime wasn't that morbid, thought it would be better, still a nice watch tough. Looking at animes like Higurashi and Elfen Lied, want to make a break from cuteness like k-on |

In that case, you should watch one of these: Definitely one of those ... I left out alot of the shounen crap though considering that is fairly common Edited by: Assaultman67 |

Bakuman - it turned out way more boring than i thought. first chapters of manga were also boring though.
most of psychological stuff happens in last 2 episodes. and of course after that you gotta see End of Evangelion, which is much more messed up.
you really should give it a try once more, it's an awesome series. |

I just watched the last two episodes ... It seems it just goes into this extremely depressing existential downward spiral ... (semi depressing rant ahead) For the most part however, serious existential topics such as "Why are we here?" and "Why do we constantly emotional distance from each other?" do not belong in a form of entertainment ... you will just end up potentially depressing someone when they reflect on it. Later in the very last episode, it somewhat "pulls out" of this spiral by saying "Just kidding! everything is fine because its a dream" and tries to cheer people up by showing the characters in a false cheerful life and attempts to explain that what makes you feel sad or depressed is your perception of the world and you perception can be changed ...If that was their whole purpose for the series then why the hell did they enter the existential spiral in the first place than jump straight to the happy ending?!? tl;dr of spoiler: Edited by: Assaultman67 |

"we (as humans) usually come to the conclusion that there is no real reason and the more you reflect on that the more depressing it is ... Isn't it just better to completely ignore the subject the subject for the sake of happiness?" you repeated few times that this stuff doesn't belong to entertainment. -------------------- |

maybe that's a translation issue or something, but if you think that movies, books, comics, etc by definiton are nothing more than a form of entertainment, which sole purpose is to amuse people, then there's something wrong here. You know, most authors wanna -share their views- on things. that's why putting "entertainment" label on all of them is exteremely disrespectful to a shitload of authors. Edited by: Blaze_K |

Hmm ... the word "entertainment" defintiely doesn't quite suit books ... The reason why is its quite common for people to know exactly what the book talks about or if its a story. People often use books to look for information, opinions, etc without actually expecting to be amused from reading it. I dunno, I guess it is ok to ruin a story just so the author/director can get their point across ... but not when its unexpected ... does that make sense? Lets put it like this ... If you go to a library and pick up a book on politics you know exactly what to expect when it comes to content just by reading the synopsis ... You go see a movie like "toy story" or something but instead of a happy ending you get a ending where all the toys get blown up by the kid because the director wants to highlight the destructive tendancies of mankind ... How many hypothetical people who went to that hypothetical movie would have expected that ... None of them would because they expect a story with a happy ending or and ending that makes the watcher feel happy that they watched the movie ... not upset or depressed. This is kinda where the movie "million dollar baby" totally defies any of that logic, yet somehow gets a virtual handjob from hollywood via an oscar. Most of the people, like 95% of the people, who went to see that movie was expecting a tale of overcoming the odds due to extreme determination. Instead it just got really fucking dark at the end with no real good to come out of it. It probably depressed millions of people and yet it won an oscar. |

Go for it ... although if you can find someone who has the same tastes as you, you should really note their top 5 lists ... some of these show really are Golden (Speaking of which Ive been watching a ton of "crapime" lately and i just got around to watching the second season of Spice and Wolf ... I totally forgot that feeling of watching a really good anime show until now ^^) Also, I have this distinct impression that I was watching something ... and I got to episode 8 or so ... and took a break from it to watch something else ... and now I cant remember what that original show was >_> ... Its odd though because I cant even think of any characters of said show, episode plots, etc ... Its just the feeling that I haven't finished a series >_> ... Oh, btw ... Is anyone here watching "Princess Jellyfish"? I just watched the first episode and i think its gonna be great ... the intro alone is somehow heartwarming ... lots of potential for entertainment! The moe/kawaii otaku guys may not like it so much though ... Edited by: Assaultman67 |

Watch "Planetes" if you haven't ... Great anime about humankind's drive to explore even when there are high costs ... Edited by: Assaultman67 |
