I just finished Dog Days myself... meh.

Tiger and Bunny is definitely the better show of the two, but I'm a bit puzzled about how long it's going to be. :hmmmm2:

At first it seemed to be building up to a nice (if generic) ending at the 12-13 episode mark, but at least 15 episodes have been announced... I could see them ending it well enough at 15, but that's certainly unusual; alternatively it could just be going on for another season, the current arc could be one of many, or may not end as I expected.

*has not seen episode 13 yet, however*

Just realised your sig is from Katanagatari, as I was watching it. Great scene.

Just finished marathonning(why isn't this a word!? spellcheck :mad:

) Dragon Quest Dai no Daiboken manga. Based off the popular RPG series, Dragon Quest, in Japan. Always been a fan of the games and decided to search for an anime for it - to my disappointment there were only subs until episode 15. Then I found the 349 chapters of it :teeth:

If anyone wants to follow an epic adventure; I recommend reading this :smile:

Ok, I'll agree that Tiger and Bunny is considerably better, but I personally enjoyed watching Dog Days. It was a cute series that clearly didn't take itself too seriously. :tongue:

Kept me entertained throughout my flight, which was the main thing. :yes:

I guess it's a series that would have worked better being marathoned; for me watching it weekly, the fact the 'final boss' was defeated in episode 10 and that this was followed by three weeks of slow paced closure didn't impress me much. :p:

AJ, agreed, the ANN and other entries for Tiger and Bunny seem weird. I think I finally found a site assuming it was twenty-six last week, and it's always felt paced to twenty-six to me. :biggrin:

My girlfriend and I only have one disc of Wolf's Rain left! She suddenly had a bit of an epiphany in the episode with the Native American characters - "oh, it was meant to be SPIRITUAL!" and I think she might actually be ENJOYING it now. I am a giant atheist, and it never occurred to me to use that word to describe it. I had no idea that she hadn't twigged that it was a sort of sense-of-wonder show. I'm so glad!

We also had the first episode of Higashi no Eden last week. She's a bit worried that the guy-who-looks-like-Morita is going to break the heart of the girl-who-looks-like-Hagu. But yeah! I've got her watching noitaminA! They don't usually appear on her radar, even though her taste in anime is pretty legit. She just doesn't have a lot of time for downloading - but I picked this one up on DVD. :smile:

Also it is apparent that I need to spend longer memorising the names if we're going to carry on with Higashi no Eden (which we are).

Yeah, I was going to say that watching everything in one sitting probably helped as retrospectively not a lot happened in each episode. I did find it amusing how at the end...

Spoiler

Besides, above all I'm always in support of a mixed character who is half English and half Japanese. :tongue:

I'm beginning to regret acquiring the soundtracks for Lodoss and Crest of the Stars at the same time as Captain Harlock. Because they're all awesome, but only one of them is Captain Harlock, so the other two aren't getting anywhere near as many plays as they deserve. :o:

So far Tiger and Bunny has possibly been my favourite of the season :smile:

I initially ignored it, but it's a fun series, and the lead is just so :fluffy:

MAL has had it at 26 episodes since I added it way back when.

So behind on most of the other shows :nooo:

On episode 11 of Maria holic alive, and 12 of T&B and single digits for all the rest :sad:

On the assumption that it was going to finish this season, I'd pretty much decided that Tiger & Bunny was a fun show with a likable lead, but other than that was fairly average. Knowing now that there's going to be another 13 episodes, it'll be interesting to see if it can change my opinion. :yes:

Talking of episode lengths, does anyone know yet how long the beezlebub anime was/is? :mmm:

I know that it's still airing, that much is certain, and is on episode 23. But the best I can find for total expected episode count is Wikipedia's '24 Announced'.

That series was confusing. I picked it up, expecting a 13 episode series, then I expected 26, and then there was also talk of it reaching the 30s or being indefinate at the moment.

Regardless I dropped it a while back. Gosick managed to hang on, but I've yet to reach episode 20 on that :nyoron:

It's highly probable that the episode count will be a lot more than that in account of how large the manga is and its popularity. I suspect its length will mainly be determined by its ratings (averaging at around 3.2% the last time I checked), so we'll see. I haven't been following this adaptation, though, so this is mere conjecture on my part.
