    No. Keep the arguing to at most a discussion. If you're going to argue, **** off to somewhere where people care. This thread is for discussion and sharing of your favourite anime/manga series etc. Love you ♥.

    Anyway...

    I've started watching Sora no Otoshimono Forte and it's more of the same really. I hope the story doesn't get pushed onto the back foot to bring in more fanservice/ecchi but it seems with stuff like this they do one serious episode then have a completely unrelated one after to keep the balance right, whilst keeping the story arc in the background.

    Debate is always nice. Just not in the fashion it's been in so far.

    Sora no Otoshimono is one of those anime that suprisingly has a good storyline, given the amount of ecchi in it.

    Debate, maybe... argument, no. Although it's hard to differentiate between the two regarding Anime, since anything regarding anime is all based solely on opinion much like any other form of media. You basically get the diehard fans that will outright flame anyone who thinks differently than themself, or you get the assholes that will just argue for the sake of being a ****.

    Just look at the youtube comments for dubstep songs or any other music genre, you have the completely one sided fanboy comments and the guys who are bashing every other genre of music in existence.

    Having a civil debate on the internet about any form of media is quite difficult. Just because of the fact that everyone is appalled that someone could like something that they don't and they absolutely have to vent their fury upon those who aren't the same as them.

    All these quotes are from Wikipedia and such.
    It takes KissxSis to a whole new level. "Tragically orphaned by an automobile accident, the Kasugano twins travel to their grandparents' countryside residence via railcar, hoping to reconstruct the shards of a shattered life. With an uncertain future, Haruka Kasugano clings to memories of the past, hoping to find the strength he needs to protect his ailing sister. With a destiny irrevocably tied to that of another, Sora Kasugano clings to moments of the present, drawing comfort and security from the company of her brother. Two lonely souls so physically alike, yet spiritually divergent, unaware of the challenges these conflicting expectations will unveil in the days to come."
    You know, that funny, ecchi stuff. I read the manga and I imagine the anime will be the same. "B Gata H Kei revolves around 15 year old high school student Yamada whose lascivious nature causes her to aspire to one day achieve sexual relations with 100 different guys. However, her insecurities as a virgin herself lead her to reject every guy that attempts to make a move on her. In order to hurdle this mental barrier Yamada goes on a search for her "cherry boy", an inexperienced guy upon whom she will bestow the right to be her first. One day while perusing a bookstore for the replacement of a dictionary she had defiled by highlighting all the sexual terms, Yamada has a fateful encounter with classmate Takashi Kosuda. Believing that Kosuda is the boy she is looking for Yamada goes to great lengths to try to seduce him. All the while, she discovers the difficulties in making that first important step towards reaching her goals, not to mention, finding out her true feelings for him."
    It's by far the best romance anime, in my opinion.

    If I can find a way to reformat my old 120 gb 360 HDD, I would use it for achived anime, otherwise I have to deal with my limited space left on my laptop HD which currently would be 25gb (of my 600gb HDD) I'll try to get a picture of my Anime folder, along with my anime movies folder.

    EDIT: got em done, took some photoshopping to merge some together for the anime movie folder pic.

    I also am putting together an anime list, its incomplete so far though, since it is terribly difficult to remember everything I have every seen, but I did go through 500 pages in the top anime list and then looked at all the recommendations to see if there was anything I remembered.

    I do need to take an entire day to try and get it as close to complete as possible though, it would be nice to know just how much of my life I have wasted on anime.

    aschur's Anime List - MyAnimeList.net

    You'll notice a lot of them with a 7,8, or 9 score, I generally don't sag lower than that unless I actually was dissapointed in it. 10's are damn near perfection in my eyes.

    I finished Episode 7 of To-Love Ru, and I'm a little confused by this episode in particular. I'm not sure how the kid even managed to play chicken or climb a freezing mountain... to fight bigfoot. Hopefully most episodes won't be like this one.

    It's anime darling, they can do what they want. To Love-Ru seems to stretch the bounds further than most but remember he/she isn't human so the laws of being human won't necessarily apply to him/her.

    His female version is cute though.

    I'm up to the movies for Eden of the East and so far no sense has been made. A lot of interesting things happened though so I'm not too disappointed yet. Still up in the air on it overall though.




    And Shuman do you just try to piss people off everywhere you go?

    OK now that is just weird...

    But then Naruto....

    That's part of what makes To Love-Ru awesome. Unfortunatly, in To Love-Ru Darkness...

    I just finished the first season of an anime called Working!! Like Nichijou, it's comedy driven and deals with the daily lives of a few that work at a resteraunt. I recommend it and Nichijou if you're looking for a loltime.
    Top 25 Anime of Winter 2012​
    1. Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou
    2. Nisemonogatari
    3. Chihayafuru
    4. Another
    5. Natsume Yuujinchou 4
    6. Senki Zesshou Symphogear
    7. Guilty Crown
    8. Highschool DxD
    9. Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne
    10. Ano Natsu de Matteru
    11. Mirai Nikki
    12. Inu x Boku SS
    13. New Prince of Tennis
    14. Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!

    21. BRAVE10
    22. Bakuman 2
    23. Thermae Romae
    24. Black Rock Shooter TV Animation
    25. Hunter x Hunter

    lol. I didn't even no Hunter x Hunter was still running. I remember reading the manga in a Shonen Jump a long time ago. I started Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!, but I don't think I would enjoy it very much since the main character is a pervert and surrounded by three children. I suppose I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover though. I have no idea how Nichijou managed to top this list.

    Found out recently that I'll probably be moving to Memphis Tennessee sometime soon, and will be without internet for about a month while there (if I indeed do move) so, I've been putting some anime on my hard drive for the time that I won't be able to stream anything or stuff like that. Most of them are things I've seen already, but I've got two that I haven't seen yet, along with two movies I haven't.

    Series': (bolded have been seen already)
    Fate/Zero (first half)
    Another
    Steins;Gate
    Dance in the Vampire Bund
    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    Shiki
    Ōkami-San and Her Seven Companions

    Movies: (haven't seen either yet)
    Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos
    Eden of The East: Paradise Lost

    I live in Memphis and if you do move, I wish the best for you.

    In other news, I've been lazy to watch any Anime and really the only Anime I have been watching is Clannad even though I've seen it so many times. I'm mostly watching it for old times sake, and the fact a friend of mine I've reconnected with recently hasn't seen Clannad. I think the next good Anime I'm going to make her watch is Angel Beats.
