The Anime Society 5: Tentacles For All!

OP

Original post by nixonsjellybeans

So what did everyone get then? :tongue:

I got:
Seikon no Qwaser
Welcome to the NHK
Perfect Blue

A nice collection indeed, thank you santa :biggrin:

shall watch all three I think.

Beautiful.

Mine were:

Zero no Tsukaima F - I've seen three series of ZnT already, so know what to expect. Thanks for reminding me the fourth one existed, Santa! :smile:

Kill me Baby - I sampled the first episode when it first came out, and remember loving the OP, but not much else. :o:

I barely picked up anything from the Winter '12 season in the end (which is when this and ZnT F aired), so it'll be good to fill in some of the gaps in my anime record. :biggrin:

Beelzebub - I was half expecting Bleach, Naruto or some other long shounen series to crop up, so thanks for picking a more manageable one! :biggrin:

Quite highly rated too, and unlike the others I've not even seen the first episode, so this will be all new to me.

I think I'll start with Kill me Baby, as I could probably marathon that tomorrow, but I'll make an effort to get and watch the other two as well. :yes:

Wow that last Little Busters ep' was so confusing :lol:

I had a guess in my head what was going on though and after reading some minor VN spoilers from MAL I think i'm right. Either way this series is just getting ever more mysterious :holmes:

I wonder who sent these.
Graveyard of the fireflies
Nichijou
Spice and wolf

Aristotle's' Disciple

Choice 1: Hourou Musuko
Choice 2: Record of Lodoss War (the original OVA, not the '98 TV sequel)
Choice 3: Kaiji

First one seems REALLY weird, not sure if I'm ready for it :p:

Will definitely be watching Kaiji, since it relates to my own interest. Record of Lodoss War also looks really good :biggrin:

You haven't seen those before!? :zomg:

I'm half way through the first of my three (Kill Me Baby)... and I remember why I didn't pick it up myself now. The jokes were getting repetitive before the end of the first episode - and amazingly, it's barely changed the formula in the six eps that followed. :s:

Wouldn't be so bad if it had more characters, even interactions with minor/background characters would be better than two (occasionally three) girls trolling each other in the same way over and over again...

...apologies, mystery Santa, I've just seen better examples of this genre (Azumanga Daioh, Minami-ke and Nichijou spring to mind). :redface:

Am still looking forward to the other two choices, and if my opinion on Kill Me Baby changes in the second half, I'll post about it. :tongue:

Finished Kill Me Baby... my opinion didn't change in the latter half. :p:

Have started downloading Zero no Tsukaima F, which I'll probably marathon either this weekend or on my next day off. As for Beelzebub, I'll probably take that a bit slower, but hope to finish it before Christmas. :biggrin:

Why download when you can just easily stream it?

Just watched Perfect Blue for my first christmas present... my god I had no idea what I was getting into. Its effectively an anime black swan, pyschological is the right tag for this mental film! So creepy and disturbing as well :frown:

However makes a change to some of the garbage thrillers i've seen :smile:

Although it did confuse me somewhat so I had to wiki it just to check I was right :tongue:

Next up is Seikon no Qwaser... the series described on MAL as the best ecchi anime short of hentai :hubba:

Not that I mind too much :colone:

You make it sound as though downloading isn't easy. :confused:

Anyway, its partly for the higher quality sound and video, but mostly because I'm a hoarder, and I've been doing so for 8 years. :yes:

Just so you know, the TV airing of Qwaser is ridiculously censored, there are chunks over a minute long where it cuts to a still background shot, and your only clue about what's happening off-screen is the audio. :giggle:

So unless you deliberately want to avoid the ecchi and watch it for the plot (which I'm assuming wasn't what Santa had in mind :p:

), best to make sure you're watching the BD/DVD rip, or the original web streams. :smile:

Mine were:

Mitsudomoe
Genshiken
Hana-Saku Iroha

Interesting choices. I saw the first episode for both Mitsudomoe and Genshiken when they were airing, and with Hana-Saku Iroha, a few episodes. However, I postponed them in favour of others that were airing during their broadcast season.

As I've mentioned before on here, I have a pet peeve of sorts for otaku related anime, so I've always been put off watching Genshiken for that reason. I guess now that it's one of my Secret Santa choices, I have to overcome this. :redface:

I'll probably make a start this weekend on one of them. :smile:

Download the episode/movie
Convert to MKV file
Place on portable hard drive to watch on Blu Ray player and watch on TV. =D

Ill bet the person who had to find something for you had a hard time. :sadnod:

Whilst some otaku series tend to exaggerate things, genshiken is more grounded in reality if i remember correctly. Nidaime is a bit less so. :erm:

..hato.

But it was a good insight into things like comiket and such.

I do have a rather extensive 'want to watch' list on A-P, which should make things a lot easier. :tongue:

That's good to know. I'll probably start this one first.

Also, come onto Skype? :smile:
