Has anyone had one of those "WTF did I just watch?!" moments recently?

If not, here is one for you just to give you back that feeling. =l

Haha, hadn't seen that trailer for Pupa! :rofl:

Reminds me of a certain scene from Kemonozume, though that's probably a bit too explicit to link to here. :p:

I think the biggest WTF moment for me recently was the intro scene to NouCome, which was ingenious. :biggrin:

Has anyone seen Samurai Champloo? :biggrin:

I've just finished watching it - such an awesome soundtrack, such an awesome everything - and I'm gutted about it ending!

Is there anything anyone'd recommend with the same sort of feel? Cowboy Bebop's already on my list (which reminds me, I really need to get back into Darker Than Black and finally watch Steins;Gate).

Afro Samurai immediately springs to mind. It's not quite as good (IMO), but it has the same combination of well animated sword fights with hip hop. :yes:

This show is going to be censored to all hell.

So how does censoring work in Japan? Haven't read Pupa so wouldn't know the extent of its possible censoring.

Haven't seen Samurai Champloo, but my mate gave it to me so I'll have to go watch that. I started watching Cowboy Bebop but I haven't gotten around to finishing it. Darker Than Black is really good, I would say I preferred Stein's Gate though, that was one hell of a show.

You'll love it! I hope you will anyway, haha. Are you going to watch it subbed or dubbed?

Think I'll go for Steins's Gate first, then either Bebop or Afro Samurai - and I'll save Darker Than Black for the hols...

So much to look forward to... :moon:

Finally got back into After School Nightmare after waiting almost a month for vol. 9 to be posted from America, and wow, so many big revelations and plot twists! I only hope the ending lives up to the rest of the series, as that's often where good series go bad. :s:

Won't have to wait long to find out though, as I already have volume 10. :biggrin:

The ending of Karakuri Odette (which I finished yesterday) was a little bit rushed, and my favourite character got virtually written out of the last two volumes (apparently he wasn't popular with a lot of fans, according to the author's end comments :s:

), but it was never a masterpiece to begin with. Cute, though. :smile:

The plan was to start Asano Inio's What a Wonderful World! next, but the price of the first volume suddenly doubled. :sigh:

It's not horrendously expensive, but enough for me to put it off for now. Will likely go for Chrno Crusade instead. :biggrin:

Hi guys, I haven't been on the thread yet although I've joined the society

I haven't watched any animes in a long time and the ones I have watched are childish

Ones I've watched.....

Pokemon was my first i think or i think it was Avatar: The Last Airbender, maybe even the YuGiOh ones

i also watched this one called Mew Mew Power as a child its Japanese Shojo

I watched the Dragon ball ones and Digimon too and I've started watching a bit of Naruto as well

i think i might have watched more but i can't remember

I heard Death Note was good, I'll probably start watching that

The third berserk film. :s-smilie:

I knew what was coming but still. :erm:

As with the others the animation was a bit funny, good when the usual 2D, some of the backgrounds were rather pretty, however not so good looking when the more fluid cg was up.

Spoiler

They've had characters from later such as the holy knights and puck(?) made appearances in the background, oh and in the Op of course, so hopefully there will be more to come. Hmmm "hopefully" seems such a strange word to use with a series that can be so unpleasant at times. :s-smilie:

There's been rumors that they're making another movie. (Lets hope so).

I'm just about on the edge of dropping the series for good. What pissed me off wasn't the fan service but was the amount of bull that wood guy was spewing about the heart and comrades which we've heard a million times already.

I wouldn't go so far as to drop it unless the series takes a major change for the worse, but, Hiro Mashima has to stop with the fan service!
This is Fairy Tail, not High School DXD!
