On which sites do you watch anime? I watched it on a site but forget the link and now all the websites i find are bad.... if you are asking; then i'll assume you don't know how, or don't care how to use torrents, irc, etc to download episodes or series. if you ask me. netflix online streaming has a damn good selection of series and films. 10 bucks a month is little to ask for the reliability and quality (and legitimacy) of netflix. some of the shows i believe are worth watching: -ghost in a shell stand alone complex -deathnote -clannad -full metal alchemist brotherhood -samurai champlooo -angel beats -chobits -eden of the east -samurai 7 -full metal panic -initial d -last exile -trigun -canaan -blood+ animated films (not all on netflix): -paprika -ghost in a shell Don't listen to this guy. 1. All the shit in netflix are dubbed 2. Very limited selection in terms of anime Best way as most people have said is through torrent and irc. But if you are too lazy to go through that, crunchyroll is better as someone has mentioned before. Setting up torrents is simple, just install mutorrent or some other torrent program, then go to the fansubber's website, and they usually have a torrent link. You can find who subs what anime at http://myanimelist.net. The only problem with torrents is old stuff usually have dead torrents. This is where irc comes in handy. Most fansubbers have irc channel, and they usually have a list of what's available to download via xdcc(that is irc) somewhere in the website. Go to their irc channel, and request the episode from the bot that they have via their xdcc number. For more details, just search more about xdcc. What's so bad about dubs if you don't mind me asking? A lot of anime fans seem to be anti dub, I guess I'm too casual to be against it. I liked the dubs for both Elfen Lied and Spice and Wolf that were on Netflix. For most people I'm guessing dubs aren't too bad.
IMO problem with dubs is that they are just so hit or miss. There are good ones out there. Then there are also dubs out there that rape your ears. Thus why it is almost always best to just go with the original language, rather than gamble on trying to get a good dub.
On February 19 2012 04:32 Hakker wrote:Hey, Ive never watched an anime before I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion a few days ago, so sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I was wondering if anyone could help me understand the ending of NGE its been stuck in my head for the past few days now and I cant find a straight answer. Basically, + Show Spoiler + At the very end, on the beach, when Shinji chokes Asuka, she reaches up to hold his cheek, the first caring thing Asuka has ever done for shinji in the series. But then, at the end, the last words of the show are 'How disgusting', referring to shinji. My question is, Is the ending supposed to be tragic, as in Asuka winds up hating shinji, or is it supposed to be happy, since Asuka finally showed affection towards him by holding his cheek?
I mean, I understand that the overall ending is supposed to be happy, humanity having the chance to rebuild and all, shinji acceping reality etc. But in terms of asuka <-> shinji, does their relationship end at 'how disgusting', or is that the beginning?
Its been a while, and I'm no fan of Eva, but wasn't that last line Asuka said in Eva a slight mistranslation? Like, rather than "How disgusting", it was supposed to be "I feel sick" or something?
IDK how the end of Evangelion was supposed to be happy with everyone turning into orange juice, but w/e. My standard answer for questions about Evangelion is "Nasu is a hack, he did it because trolling and/or it sounded cool", but I think in this case the answer is the subs had a mistranslation. But, I don't actually speak Japanese, so a moon-speaker like Ecael/Southlight can feel free to correct me.

actually is there news on the next Evangelion movie? The last one I saw was 2.22 or something like that.

lol at Tsubasa's "I need your help" and then Hibiki only gets in the way saves Chris from a potentially fatal attack. Figures they'd give Chris character and then have the whole "motherly figure betrays me boohoo" scenario. Combined with Hibiki's friendship speeches, definitely giving me Nanoha vibes. I just hope it ends up being as good.

+ Show Spoiler +This ep was like a really weird mix of being really good and bad. I'm in love with Chris's Symphogear. When she brought out those gatling guns and missiles... Not to mention Chris is extremely hot. So I enjoyed all that stuff. But then we got Miku and Hibiki having a lesbian feud. I was just assuming Miku was retarded, but I didn't really consider that maybe she was lied to. Sounds like something that glasses chick might do.

We finally know the Studio and Production staff for MuvLuv Alternative: Total Eclipse!
Studio is Satelight! This is very good news. Means we will be getting 3DCGI for the mecha stuff. Think Macross Frontier or Aquarion. Satelight is a solid studio, looking forward to this.
The director is Takayuki Inagaki... Who has a laughable record. http://myanimelist.net/people/6186/Takayuki_Inagaki
But as some anon on /m/ said, the "director of Dragonaut provided a decent show in Horizon, so who knows?" He has good source material to work with.
Still slated for 2012, some people are claiming summer, but I haven't ever see news of that.

That's because znf's a lolicon.
Usagi Drop manga is ok, but only if you have an open mind IMO, otherwise it goes in a rather controversial direction.

I mean, I think it's less that it was bad...but more in the sense that if you liked the anime, you'll be pleasantly surprised at what happens in the second half of the manga, and the reactions that I've seen haven't been all too positive.
+ Show Spoiler [usagi drop manga spoilers] +The first part of manga was about family, the issues with raising a child as a single parent. It was just really cute and adorbs.
Then the second part comes in and builds a strange love triangle that kind of goes in another direction. It just feels weird considering how the first part went.

I'm pretty sure Hayate's heart-throb ability is above max level. Sigh, I want new Hayate chapters. A new (good) arc better start and make this wait worth it.
