Someone sell me on three story driven animes! I will watch them. I have a craving. I'm currently only watching Durarara X2 and Gundam.

I watched it last year. It's easily in my top 5 Anime list. It's so well done. I'm a sucker for time resets... which is why Groundhog Day is one of my all time favorite movies. AND why Edge of Tomorrow was my favorite film/ guilty pleasure of 2014.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUmSVcttXnI

Just realized that Digimon Tri is made by Toei. Hype level quickly approaching zero.

Why? They're the original series creators.

FSN2, Plastic Memories and Dungeon are my favourites this season. Also hyped to find out one of my favourite spin offs is getting its third season in June, Fate/Kaleid :D


Yeah, i agree with Fate/stay night UBW, the blood in episode 2 looks sooooo good! 

IMO, plastic memories and the danmachi is alright, but its very enjoyable to watch. I get a Kanade ( angel beats) vibe from Isla =D 



Pocky Lover Boy!

They're also the original creators of Sailor Moon and they toroughly fucked up that reboot. And let's not kid ourselves. Digimon was not a good anime. It was for kids and had the same stupid trappings that we would condemn every other anime for. So any remake or continuation should be better. But Toei doesn't care. They know we will watch it regardless of Qualty because of the IP and the nostalgic feelings attached to it.

If Sailor Moon is any indication then this will be a mediocre crapfest. Maybe not worse than the original but certainly not up to the standards we've come to expect in this day and age.

So, because of UBW, I've been in a Type Moon frame of mind. That's drawn me to rewatch Kara no Kyoukai.

Four episodes in, do I still think it's one of the best anime ever produced? Absolutely.

Do I still think Shiki is one of the most interesting and compelling characters ever portrayed in anime? Without a shadow of a doubt.

There are a lot of quality anime out there but very few that truly transcend the medium to the point that you can show them to non-fans and just say, "forget that it's animated." Serial Experiments Lain and Monster come to mind immediately but it's a relatively short list. Kara no Kyoukai definitely belongs.

Give me moar Type Moon and ufotable plz. It's past time for another Tsukihime, isn't it?
