What anime are you watching/reading?

Well.. Finished up part 2 of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple. (Also know as History's Strongest Disciple, or so I have found out).

And with that I come to realize, this is a fairly long series since it still isn't over yet. I've heard it's something like 50 episodes long and finishing "part 2" leaves you with 26 episodes watched.

So it looks like Funimation is going to milk this series, quite possibly with a part 3 and part 4. Which they will likely called Season 2, part 1 and part 2... even though, it's all the same season. -_-

This really pisses me off because I really enjoy this series and now I have to wait even longer before I can get to the end. Funimation better freaking license the rest of the series too, or I will be even more pissed. I thought this was gonna be the wrap up of the series since I wasn't aware that it was such a long series. (Most average series have about 24-26 episodes per season).

While I am thankful the series doesn't just stop where it left off, (god that would have been horrible) I want to watch the complete series. Ugh, waiting months at a time for the next "collection" release sucks.

The series itself is just awesome though, the show gets you really into the characters. Most specifically Kenichi, for obvious reasons. The more I watch the show the more I'm looking forward to seeing how Kenichi grows and becomes stronger. Not to mention there's plenty of fan service thrown in. It's not like they go, here have boobs (well.. they do, but they're covered and do offer... well.. a little tiny bit to the imagination, though not too much. lol.) At any rate, the boobs in this show often come with some funny jokes about them, as well. This shows got it all: comedy, plenty of action, a little romance, and a few particularly stacked anime babes. (really, there's only 2, but that's all you need with this anime).

The story is pretty badass too, nothing overly complex. Boy is wimp, wants to become stronger, stumbles upon hot ass kicking girl, gets to know girl and know her 'family', 'family' happens to composed of the most deadly martial arts masters in the world, boy trains with masters to become stronger but is still a wimp though gradually becomes more of a man and actually gets strong but doesn't usually realize it, local gang takes notice, attacks boy, boy fights back and keeps ending up fighting tougher fighters from the gang.

It seems like he keeps fighting the gang until he has to fight their leader and that might be the climax of the over all show. Don't know yet, not even close to getting to that point yet. There's also a lot more to the story than what I relatively condensed, which adds to why I really like this show. Might seem like I summed up the story there, but really there's so much more to it than what I typed out. So many personalities (characters) that it's just really a great show.

You can always stream it if you don't like the fees or the waiting.

Eh, in the long run I can wait. It's just a bit annoying. I don't like streaming stuff, plus I like to own the dvds for when I get in the mood to rewatch or show someone else the anime.
 
G-Gundam watched...although I enjoyed Wing more. G was so Cliche at times it was like wow...still pretty good though!

That's why G is so well loved, it's so cliché you just can't not love it. Besides, it has a Gundam called God Gundam in it! Also, a horse piloting a Gundam!

yeah...the strangest things happen lol...On to seed, and then seed destiny I guess =D
 
Do yourself a favor and skip SEED. Watch 00 instead.
 
Everyone says that O.o; is there a reason?

It sucks? Seed is full of emofags animated in flash with robots who just get more complicated backpacks and names. 00 is like a better Wing.

ok cool ^^; is there anywhere I can download it? Youtube is so unreliable...
 
Since my last update I watched Moonphase, Popotan and rewatched Ai Yori Aoshi again (cause I think it's awesome lol). Just finishing up Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi (2nd season) tonight and then I gotta decide what to watch next as I got a load of new stuff piling up now.

I have Gunslinger Girl, Karin, FLCL, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi and Ouran High School Host Club as of yet, unwatched. Also got Tokyo Mew Mew, Shakugan no Shana season 2 and Clannad (Kyou's OVA episode) on my PC to watch sometime too. And I bought Fate/Stay Night and Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Set to replace my original bootleg versions cause the quality was so poor and were an eyesore on my shelves lol.

Plenty to get stuck into :D
 
Thank you, really appreciate it.

It's a good thing you did skip SEED and SEED Destiny, god I wish I could forget watching it but, nnnnnnnnnnnrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh...

SEED and SEED Destiny are the cancer of the Gundam series, they were terrible and painful to watch.

By the way, Gundam Unicorn this Fall/Winter, it's the return of the Universal Century!!!
 
I'm watching D.Gray Man on episode 15 at the moment. I've been so lazy with anime watching but really enjoying it.
 
Lucky star and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.
and .hack//sign :D!
 
Okay, just picked up two new series because they were awesomely priced. The entire Gantz series for 29.99, now that's awesome. I don't even care if I end up not liking it.

I also picked up a series I've never heard of called Simoun. Apparently the only sex in this series is female. Also considering theres a "13 and older" warning plus even a tag that says "YURi FAN" I can expect plenty of girl on girl action, or at least some. One other thing I just now realized about it, after taking a closer inspection of the back of the case this anime is only in Japanese audio, with English subtitles. Only a minor bummer since I can somewhat read subtitles decently due to watching Naruto and Shippuuden that way. I just don't fully understand why some companies are starting to localize anime titles without doing an English voice dub. Anywho, here's hoping it's a good anime.
 
I just read chapter 111 of Zetman. I love it! I wish they'd release them more frequently and/or animate it!
