I thought at least someone would comment on the Mass Effect movie.

I believe Gainax continues to re-release Evangelion in the hopes that everyone finally realizes what a steaming pile of shit it was. </threadbait>

The last really good anime series I've watched is Axis Powers Hetalia: it's clever, funny, and doesn't take itself seriously. On the flip side of the coin I always enjoyed Mind Fuck anime such as Lain, Texhnolyze, and Paranoia Agent.

So I watched the first couple of episodes of Bokemonogatari (Ghost Stories, "-gatari" means stories about, like Katangatari was about katanas. . .) and it's visually WHOA! this is different. . . but that story. . .not sure yet. I mean it's good, but I can't say it's great yet. I've seen a bunch that impressed me in the first couple of episodes but then were disappointing there after. That said, the way they told the story visually was still stunning. It's supposed to be a collection of short stories, so maybe some will be better than others.

It's a decent enough romance story, but animation and pacing wise? Bad in most of the arcs.

C'mon Kame, give bricks some credit, some are far more subtle than Evangelion.

Didn't the director admit he only added the religious symbolism because it looked cool? He didn't give a fuck about the cultural richness it added.

Also Falkonn, you sound like you just started learning these things.

This is pretty much a collage of every mecha ever, it'll break the forum if I hot link it.
