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

Does ninja batman jesus roflstomping everyone really qualify as 'serious' battles?
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

In all seriousness, Nanoha is probably the best "serious magicians battle anime".

HxH. Not sure if nen system counts as magic, but it's close enough.

watched a bit of Akatsuki no Yona yesterday. Looks like it's quite the fun ride. The fights scenes in the first two episodes were pretty good as well and I'm interested to see how Yona develops by the end. + Show Spoiler +
One thing is for sure though, her transformation based on the end of episode 2 when she was standing above that army is unreal.


I'm loving it so far. Think it and Cross Ange are the biggest surprises this season. Both got a ton of character development and interesting story.

Caught up to the latest episode. Great stuff! Good balance between the comedy moments and being serious. Yes, exactly! + Show Spoiler +
Lots of character development and the story is interesting as well. I like the OP and the way they mostly stuck to music instead of the usual song in other anime. Yona is looking so cute as well and I like the fact that she's making an effort to become stronger instead of just whine about it and have Hak and co protect her.

I did find it a bit funny that the white dragon just joined them like that but they did show him with his blood boiling which was a sign so I anticipate that the other three dragons will have similar signs that they should join Yona, Hak and Yun. I do wonder if it'll be an episode for each dragon or if they'll have to do more. Either way, it's been good so far. I can't wait to see Yona be a badass like back in episode 2 and wonder what moon's and that fire tribe's second son will think once it's revealed that she's still alive. I can't see her protecting the kingdom if he's ruling it but I also can't see her causing chaos indirectly by revealing herself so I wonder what she'll decide there. Can't wait for more episodes! :D

Magi. Not sure about others but that's the one that comes to mind.

Illya's a pretty heartless person in UBW.

I'm confused, there are people here who are watching Cross Ange for reasons other than it being a "hilariously bad trainwreck"? Although I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given how many liked Valvrave and Code Geass R2.

I'm not being sour, you can like what you want. In all the other online communities I keep track of, Cross Ange is a joke, thus my surprise that people actually like it here. And its a similar surprise to people here actually liking Valvrave when it aired. If you don't like GBF or G Reko, well, thats not my problem, nor do I really care. I didn't even mention them.

So Cross Ange isn't good?
I haven't kept up with half the series I started watching but judging from this thread it seemed like Cross Ange got epicly awesome.
Though I'm going to watch Yuuna too due to 2 people here.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Cross Ange represents an alarming trend in mecha anime where they put the goal of shocking and surprising the viewer ahead of story structure and plot. What results is a feature full of twists for the sake of themselves (as in, without proper foreshadowing and progression), and controversial material for the sake of being controversial (it used to be mass murder and gore, now its rape and mass murder). Its an unfortunate trend that started back with Code Geass R2, continued with Gundam 00s2, was further pioneered and experimented with Valvrave, and now refined with Cross Ange. As far as I can gather, people are enjoying these for "the ride", but such a thing beyond me.

im curious as to how far into it you've actually watched. Every complaint you have stopped after like the 3rd or 4th episode.

well i donno, it's all on opinion, but i've been really enjoying cross ange, It gets better with each episode. The start had some rough things (it feels more like they were just feeling out what to do) but after like 4 episodes or so, it starts getting better and better.

Also, Yuki Yuuna was a huge surprise for me...i wasn't even gonna watch it until somebody made me. It starts all SOL-esque but then takes some turns darker (sort of like madoka...that's really the one that it feels like the most. People are always comparing the two, and i can see why...it feels like the creator(s) were watching Madoka and were like...hey we can make that). This last episode had a really awesome twist though and the fantasy of it got really interesting
BW. There will always be a special place in my heart for the game I spent 10 years to be mediocre at.
