If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

For currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net

This ZNF, so correct.

Except we don't talk about T-M in particular, and the times we do talk about it we are usually going through really random trivia that doesn't particularly pertain to the lore as much as it does "Who has prowled the t-m wiki and looked for interviews longer".


Eh, a lot of it helped make things clearer, and to be honest, the concept of the Grail War is simple enough, so it's not like anything just blew over my head. I'm sure there are probably things I don't get, but that's why I am reading the VN now.

Well, fuck. Warning: Code 991. Bye bye Marimo-chan Q.Q. Shit is getting serious. She basically pulled a Mami, aka getting your head eaten.

That said, I have to say I'm not a fan of the BETA designs I've seen so far... doesn't bother me very much but if they look the same in the TE anime, I think its gonna look pretty bad. Anyone who has watched ep2 who could comment on this?

They are supposed to be giant weird looking penises. Thats what makes BETA.... BETA. Also, they were in episode 1, and looked how they look in the VN. You probably just didn't notice them because you weren't looking at the right parts. Ep1 had Destroyer Class, Grappler Class, and Tank Class.

Lol, I guess the fact that I watched ep1 when I wasn't really awake (fcking time zones) also made me miss them... but lol "giant weird looking penises", good description.

Starting to want to rewatch ep1 now that I have played the VN a bit. And the fact that I'm awake... >.>

Oh well, onwards to fighting giant weird looking penises.

Hey guys.
So I want to get into watching some anime over the summer since, well, I'm bored and I never had the time to watch anime until now.

The thing is, I don't have the time to catch up on animes that are like, really super long and have been out for years (Naruto, Bleach and One Piece come to mind). I respect that there are great "classic" animes out there, but catching up of several years and seasons of a show is quite a daunting task and something that I really am not up for.

With that being said, anyone got any suggestions on where to start or what to watch? I like mini-series stuff. I've only really watched two animes before. One was Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt (my ex-girlfriend made me watch it with her. It was pretty good.) and the other was Mawaru Penguin Drum (sister made me watch it with her. I liked it). These two have impressed me so I was looking into watching some more stuff.

Cheers! and Thanks in advance. :D
Seizon Senryaku!

2. Look for one that looks cool to you.
3. Find it somewhere and look at episode length.
4. Watch.

99% of the anime mentioned in the chart at the top of the page meet those requirements.

The chicks in your life sound amazing...

If you just want a recommend, and you don't find the chart useful, I'd recommend Fate/Zero xD

Does anybody else wish they would stop forcing random tangential character qualities to fit anime stereotypes? Hikaru no Go is and will likely always be one of my favorite anime series ever because the drama is light and the focus stays constant. By the end of the series I loved both the characters and go. Why does an anime like Saki feel the need to force an all lesbian cast with huge breasts flopping in the wind? Just make an awesome anime about awesome games of mahjong! Even if you are going to go the supernatural route like they have, focusing on the game and analysis would be huge.

I guess they know what is popular more than I do but then maybe I dont understand the anime watching community.

Because there is no way to actually make these types of sports/table top game animes interesting. It is all about the characters unless you seriously think you'll get a fanbase of the people who actually play the said games. HnG lucked out in that it is old enough that it has escaped the moe-ification of anime in order to keep it commercially viable. That's pretty much it.

And no there are no awesome animes about awesome games of mahjong, last time we had something like that it is called Yugioh.

Hikaru no Go has a lot of stereotypical sports characters o_O

Saki doesn't take itself very seriously... it's like watching standup and complaining that there's not enough cohesiveness between the funny stories. It's not what it's going for.

Now, you can complain about the genre, you can dislike it, but it sort of is what it is.

Koizumi is ALL about mahjong.

Yup there was BETA on screen, and yup they looked like in the VN. Also recognized Yuuhi this time, yay. Still looking forward to the massacre, some of those girls were annoying :D them talking about random stuff during the 8 minute rule lecture makes me wanna see them get owned, lol. They sucked so hard during their training, they aint gonna survive anywhere near 8 minutes... oh and maybe it's just because I've played the VN but this time I wasn't as bothered by the skintight suits.
