Speaking of Usagi Drop: OOOOHHHHH. Rin grows up by the time that creepy arc starts. Ooooh, well that makes it slightly less incredibly, annoyingly dumb. Though I wish it wasn't put into the manga in the first place. I might follow the manga some day then.m

LOL.

I actually recommended Usagi Drop to my friend before I was aware of the creepy arc. I think I ended up turning her off manga forever.

I think what makes it so creepy is the fact that until that point, Rin's treated Daikichi as her uncle and the series plays up the father-daughter type relation. The fact that there's a 25 year age difference still doesn't make it better though, even if Rin grows up

always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)

So what anime has your favorite art style?
My favorite art style would have to be Death Note, I really like the more realistic tone it takes.

That's tough to say, although generally, I like series where they try to make the world/characters look more realistic, or at least not cartoony.

This is the reason I like a lot of 90's series (or series that started in the 90's), like Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, InuYasha, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, & Outlaw Star.

While I still like them since they're good shows, the more 'cartoony' vibe of more modern anime like One Piece, Fairy Tail, Soul Eater, and at times Naruto & Bleach doesn't quite do as much for me, since that's not why I fell in love with anime.

There have been a few newer shows that seem to have the style that I like though, like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Sword Art Online.

Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

My favorite art style is shockingly One Piece; not because of my raging blind love for it, but because the style allows for characters that are completely ridiculous to fit in just as much as everyone else.
Also there is never any character (in the manga at least) that comes immediately to mind as being generic, so that's impressive.

Though honestly visuals rarely make/break anything for me, so this being my favorite is only because of how well it compliments the rest of the series.

I like creative art styles usually. The more I say "wow that character sure looks creative" the better. So basically Soul Eater.

Soul Eater and Full Metal Alchemist are tied for my second favorite. One Piece only won because I'm a sad biased fanboy.

I'd have to agree that One Piece's art has become my favorite style. However, I do really like Trigun's style (especially the manga) and Fullmetal Alchemist. Generally, I like any style that just looks "good" to me at the time.

Dragon Ball art is my absolute favorite as it further went on into Chrono Trigger.

After so long...I'm back. Don't ask why

I just watched the first episode of Space Dandy in dub. It was very good...reminds me of Kill la Kill...just in regards to the level of insanity.

I loved the 60's vibe, and the robot.

Y'know, I actually just watched a fight from an episode of Future Card Buddyfight . . . from what I could gather, the card game isn't too bad..but the show is god awful. Nothing to be surprised about.

Huh, that's exactly how I felt.

The main difference is that Space Dandy is blatantly a comedy while Kill la Kill is intentionally being over-the-top and mostly serious to the point of being hilarious. Kill la Kill's in a weird place where it's too over-the-top to take seriously, but it's too good to not take it seriously. Kinda reminds me of Phoenix Wright in that regard...

How would you rate it so far. I liked the original starblazers and as we've talked before Sci-fi is my favorite genre.

It's one of the best remakes I've ever seen, and is easily one of the best sci-fi shows of the past 10 years. If it can pull off a great ending, which I've been told it does, then it'll be one of the best Sci-Fi shows ever.

I really want to finish it, but I'm a slave to my impulses. I just gotta wait until I'm back in the mood.

Nice going to rewatch the original series and than start the remake. Not a lot of Sci-fi TV set for this coming year sadly.with only Halo and the Netflix show by the team who did the Matrix.
