Chalk up another Clannad vote. Such a beautiful anime.
I even played the VN... still haven't gotten to AS (lol).

I will always remember the scene from the anime where Akio rushes in to tell Nagisa that his dreams did not die the day she was born- she became his dream from that day. :<

Gawd. I never thought that an anime could deliver such a message. Mantears.
MBC/Liquid/TSM always.

Watching Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack changed my life. It made me an activist for space colonization and change my major to Astroengineering.

K-ON changed my life too. It made me stop wasting my time watching crappy recylced moe-blob/ecchi/crap animes that make my brain melt with their... nothingness. They can't even be called Slice of Life. The only Slice of Life anime that I've seen that's ACTUALLY Slice of Life is Honey and Clover. And that anime was awesome.



Man, I like K-On. It's light and fun nothing more nothing less. If you were looking for some in-depth story with multi-layered characters then maybe watching a show about highschool girls forming a band isn't for you. I couldn't get into Honey and Clover because the art is pretty bad. Not to mention the main girl looks like she is 8 and that bugged me quite a bit. Clannad/Clannad After Story is the winner for me. Good all around beginning to end. Though, you have to watch it start to finish or it'll leave the wrong impression.

I wanted to inform fellow otaku's that how to get a girl portrayed in anime is not how it works in America. I've seen many of my friends who love anime fail to hook up with a girl they have been seeing especially the fact that shes into anime too.

In animes, they often show guys taking their girl aside and confessing their love with a I like you. My friend tried that to this girl even I have tried that to a girl before. After a great time hanging out, I told her I like her. She thought it was weird and it never worked for me or my friend. IMO what does work and the correct way to play is be manly and stay confident, never say anything along those lines about how you feel. You have to show it. You just kiss her. And the kiss should be done sometime between date 1-3 or else it'll probably never happen.

This sort of has nothing to do with anime, but they do make everyone seem like giant sissies when it comes to the opposite sex a majority of the time. Sometimes that's just how people are though. I have known plenty of girls to fall into that super shy and cutesy category. Same goes for knowing guys that are think headed and retarded when it's obvious to everyone else that can breathe that a girl likes him. It's just shit that happens. There is no right way or wrong way to go about your business with the opposite sex.

Death Note changed my life. I don't tell people my real name anymore.


this is true,never tell anyone your real name.

Sorry but Deathnote was just a over-hyped pretender... \

For someone who grew up with Robotech(Macross Saga) Deathnote really failed to impress me... just sayin...

Robotech Macross Saga best anime ever


Gurren Lagann was good, if overhyped. Its a great gateway to Super Robot anime... But for some reason, people say things like "I'm not a fan of Mecha, but Gurren Lagann was awesome!", or "Gurren Lagann is the only mecha I like!" When I hear that, it confuses me. The same shit that made Gurren Lagann great is in like every single major Super Robot anime in the past... 30 years? Gunbuster was the first one I can think of (70s Super Robot anime are too old/cheesy for even my tastes). Gunbuster, Diebuster, New Getter Robo, Getter Robo Armageddon, Mazinkaiser, Dancouga Nova, Godannar, Shin Mazinger, GaoGaiGar, GGG Final, etc etc all have the awesome stuff that made Gurren Lagann what it was, but people just watch Gurren Lagann and leave it as that, thinking its super unique in style or something.

Neobowman, have you ever gotten around to Gunbuster, like how I've tried to get you to do many times?

Never got to Gunbuster. I have it lying in my videos folder waiting for me to watch it but I haven't gotton there yet. I've tried some other old super robot anime series that I can't remember the name of but I got turned off by the art style and cheesy story.

Stuff from the 70s (Pre-Gunbuster stuff) are like that. Like I can't bring myself to watch the original Mazinger or Getter Robo animes. It was Gunbuster that took the Super Robot genre into a different direction (to my knowledge, at least). Since Gunbuster, they have gotten alot darker, crazier, and over the top.

Hahahhahah

This reminds me of the time when a friend's Japanese ex-girlfriend confessed her love to another friend of mine, right outside my house. I didn't know what was going on, but then he came back inside the house and showed me the confession letter.

We laughed at it for a while.

That day was my birthday, so I made plans with a couple friends to get some Korean BBQ for dinner. In the afternoon, we planned on hitting up some Sakura Blossom festival, which is where we met up said Japanese girl (who just flew over and came back from Japan), her friend, and her ex because apparently they were good friends or some crap like that, but there was a bit of a bad blood and bad stories going around.

Anyway, the plan was just to hang out with them for the festival, chill for a while and kill some time hanging out, and then KBBQ it up later. Suspiciously she ends up asking to tag along with us everywhere we went. I was like, whatever, maybe KBBQ is that good.

After KBBQ, at the time, my friend and I were totally into Dynasty Warriors 4 and we'd play that game till 3AM a lot so I asked him if he was down for that, which he was, of course. Japanese girl + her friend decide to tag along, and one of our friends was trying to get with her friend so he invited himself, exboyfriend decides to go too, and all of a sudden we had like 9 people even though all I wanted to do was play Dynasty Warriors.

Since I had guests I think we played some board games or something and finally everyone got bored and decided to leave. So we finally fired up Dynasty Warriors when the doorbell rings.

It was the Japanese girl.

"Hey, can you bring your friend?"

They really didn't talk at all the entire day and were hardly acquainted so I was like, "Uh, wtf. Ok sure." Got him out there, and she was like "Um, just us two." I guess. It IS my house, but whatever.

I went back and played some DW and my friend came back a couple minutes later.

"The hell is this crap?! Read it, man."

He threw the letter on the table.
It was pretty ridiculous and pretty fobby, saying things like "You are very popular and are a good leader and I really like that."

"A good leader! What does that even mean? We've never even talked before! All I ever talk about is anime and porn and make ridiculous inside jokes!"

We continued to mock it for a while, and my friend is the loyal "Bros before hos" type so he rejected her, plus the stories we heard about her from the ex-boyfriend (who was my friend's best friend) were just too much. I think we continued to play Dynasty Warriors and would yell out quotes from the letter as insults to the Chinese generals.

Eventually, the Japanese girl decided to go with another friend of the ex-boyfriend and eventually married him. And that relationship was one of those ... what do you call it... pussywhipped situations, as in, he wouldn't hang out with us past 9 or she would get mad-kind of deal. I think what it made it funnier was that we were all in our 20's... I had just turned 20, girl was 23, my friend was 25 and it played out like a high school drama.

Oh yeah and before you ask she wasn't really that cute.

Real life, man. It's totally different from anime.

the guy who eventually married her usually has to go home at 7pm because she doesn't like it when he's out with his friends that late



you tell me who's the troll

Well one of the themes of the story is that you have to move on past what's happened before. + Show Spoiler +
Nia's death really shows how Simon develops as a character if you compare his reaction to Kamina's death to his reaction to Nia's death.


Also, you should watch the movies. They're great (except the first half of the first movie)
