Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

Hey guys, it's Spring 2013! Time for new shows!

This season, I'm watching:

• Aiura
• Aku no Hana
• Hataraku Maou-sama!
• Photokano
• Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru

Also, I've picked up Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT from last season since I got into the show while it was still airing.

So what are you guys watching?

Right now the only Spring show I care about is Attack on Titan, possibly Valvrave the Liberator since it's done by the studio that did Code Geass.

Just watched both parts of Ninja Resurrection on YouTube!

It has great animation & action, albiet probably with the most gore I've ever seen in an anime. Fanservice is also present.

It also twists Christian philosophy & themes more than Neon Genesis Evangelion 0_0 (I know it's just a show, but I still get a little nervous whenever an anime tries to twist such themes for it's plot).

Still though, if you enjoy stuff like Ninja Scroll (movie), Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma (OVA), InuYasha, or Rurouni Kenshin, this might be something for you to look into.

@Crimsonfire13 - If the video doesn't load, pick another mirror. They're the squares underneath the video.

I've been watching Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, Majestic Prince, and Valvrave: The Liberator. Gargantia has been really good, while the other two have been good enough to continue watching. I also intend to pick up Space Battleship Yamato 2199 sooner than later. Once I've caught up with the first season of A Certain Scientific Railgun, I intend to watch Railgun S as well.

As far as continuing series go, I recently started Doki Doki PreCure, which I am enjoying. I also intend to get caught up with Space Brothers, Saint Seiya Omega, and Hunter X Hunter, hopefully by the end of the season.

BTW, I'm reporting anyone who posts a picture of those Titans from Attack on Titan from now on. FFS, I've already had nightmares, G-ddamnit!!!

@CanisWolfred
Watching Valvrave the Liberator? So is it any good, I was thinking of cheking it out. Also, did you watch Attack on Titan?

I don't want to say anything until I've seen the next episode. A lot of it will hinge on how well they explain a certain twist.

Nope, and I absolutely refuse to. Those monstrosities are disgusting.

I have to assume the happy ending in SSY will be Saki NOT being completely most emotionally destroyed and disillusioned.

also I have to give the series credit, it got me to actually say "no!" at a certain reveal at my computer screen. And then I realized what was actually happening and the implications of what it means and it became more depressing.

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head.

Anyways, I started some series!

Attack on Titan: Unlike some individuals, I am completely fine with watching this series. Unfortunately, the series didn't quite do it for me. The first episode felt a little all-over the place and didn't dedicate itself to any specific tone. I assume that the series will be more focused as the proper story seems to have commenced, but the first episode was not a great introduction to the series.

Flowers of Evil: I still haven't decided whether the animation of this series is bad or stylistic. Otherwise, I'm extremely interested to see where this series goes. The cleverly-hidden drama of the first episode is something really great.

Recorder and Randsell: I didn't recognize this was one of those extremely short gag-anime series. Nevertheless, the comedy is bizarrely entertaining. Taken at face-value it's not very interesting, but when you finally get that the main character is a kindergarten student rather than a full-grown man, lots of the jokes have a slightly deceptive edge to them.

@CanusWolfred
Really, just because the monsters are too disgusting? They're terrifying, but I dunno about disgusting... Still it's a great show so far.

Well, yeah. They creep me out. I don't want to watch a whole show where I have to see those things. I don't know why any of you guys do, and I don't care. So long as you keep pictures down to Zero, you'll all live to talk about it.

I guess after watching the black butler I will watch Attack of titans, it got my interest but might not talk about it due to being spooky to some.

@Undead_terror - Have you gotten to the second season yet?

Huh, I actually like horror/creepy things...also is it Titans in general or just The Colossal Titan that you have a problem with?

I think, im at episode 20 now and the intro/credits changed, wikipedia makes it look it's all one big season.

@Rocko - all of those things look really creep to me.

Season 2 starts at episode 25. Trust me, you'll notice it when they change the season...

@CanisWolfred
If these Titans scare you so much, how did you get through the Shinigami in Death Note?

Ok let's not make a big fuzz about this, if he don't like it he don't like it, hell one of the titans is like a human with no skin with mussle showing...still gonna watch it and find it amusing.

Gotcha, I'll lay off. Sorry.

@Undead_Terror - Thanks.
