Heya, I just wanted to show you a good way to start on the anime now that my vids started loading faster for some reason. Actually, it's the game version of the anime's 12 Temples arc, which happens around episode 40 and goes all the way through somewhere in the 70s-80s. The game's for the PS3 but it's a shame it only came out in EU x_x. This video introduces the anime quite well, it's apparent the player watched the anime after playing the game. Oh, yeah. Unless you can't put up with the guy's commentary (and constant cursing), I truly recommend starting here if you ever want to know more of the anime. Beware, if you do end up following the videos, the videos themselves are long. The game's audio is in Japanese, but the subs are in English Oh, I don't want to force you to watch this. I just wanted to give you a place to start in case you ever had time from your busy schedule to take a look. You wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if you do nothing ^^;
And that's true, especially with K-ON! I read that one all the way to the end (or at least I think that was the end)
Well the nice thing is that they come with a plot. The amount and what not certainly varies, but you can usually find a story.
The style caught my attention many times, but I haven't been driven to actually watch or read anything moe, at least not often. As I've said, it can be difficult to come out of my comfort zone sometimes. After all, I usually want to watch or read something for the plot, too. So anything done just for eye candy may seem exciting at first, but I'll go nowhere with it if it doesn't attract me in other ways.
Yeah, the first few episodes of Haruhi are a really good sampling of otaku culture. But yes, moe is a style and term popular in manga/anime currently. It is what sells right now and until tastes change or a shift occurs with the creators that is how things will be. It is how each decade can usually be identifiable with a common style choice. The 80s had a very distinctive artist, just like the 90s, though moe caught in the 00s and is bleeding into the 10s. I haven't seen a new style really take over yet, so it might be around longer.
So that's what it was. Ha. I recall seeing something like that in the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Haruhi was talking about it, if I'm not mistaken. I probably wouldn't know so much of these other anime and manga if it wasn't from my friend of six years. He's got me into many things, namely the aforementioned title (one episode so far).
Yeah, that's the moe style that gets you. They work the adorable factor hard when it comes to moe.
Yeah, it all depends on my tastes and plot. a few other factors come in every now and then but it's usually between those two. There was something about K-ON! that I can't quite put my finger on, though. I guess it was the art style, sometimes I'd just think it was adorable.
They come in all types. So if you enjoy variety there is plenty to choose from with manga.
It was pretty good. I wasn't used to slice-of-life titles but I was impressed.
K-ON is pretty popular. If I remember it is a 4-koma manga, so the formatting is a little different.
I'm normally tied up on my work days so I'm most likely to watch it when I'm off again. I haven't really had the motivation to open the links in 1-2-3 >_> Oh yeah, I also gotta add K-ON! to my list of finished manga. I started reading it after someone recommended it elsewhere. It was good.
Yeah, it did a really good job of having really enjoyable fights that were interesting to follow. They were the total underdogs and disadvantaged the whole way which made it even more interesting to watch. Because everyone was doing everything to screw them.
I remember watching glimpses of a tournament way back when I was around 13-14. My older brother would watch the anime while I would watch until I was bored of it. It was mainly due to the fact I didn't understand the plot because now I want to watch more of it. Looking back on it now, some of the match ups were pretty good
Yup, the Dark Tournament is around the corner, which is really good along with the Chapter Black.
