Posted by Saddletank on 07.07.2014, 07:41 AM: I'd like to hear what you think about Another. It's on my 'to-watch' list but I'm just not sure about starting it. I'm not a fan of horror and gore.

Posted by Saddletank on 07.07.2014, 05:23 PM: Ooh, let me know what you think.

Posted by Roarkiller on 07.08.2014, 12:53 AM: Well the term "monogatari" literally means story, so yea you'd expect a literal truckload of storytelling I suppose, haha.

Posted by arren18 on 07.09.2014, 09:04 AM: Watched the first episode of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. It wasn't one of my main list of shows to watch, but the premise sounded pretty funny, and write-ups of the first episode sounded promising, so I gave it a shot. So far so good! I enjoyed the jokes, and the set-up provides plenty of scope for more.

Posted by arren18 on 07.10.2014, 05:54 AM: Oh, I also watched Sailor Moon Crystal. I had a few problems with it (the art style not being versatile enough to work with comedy, Usagi being obnoxious, and the fact that Sailor Moon just seems kinda cheesy in 2014) - but I think these are things that are likely to work themselves out fairly quickly, and it was still pretty fun to watch.

Posted by arren18 on 07.10.2014, 12:24 PM: It seems to be more comedy than romance, especially from the bits and pieces I've seen from the manga, which is not quite what I expected, but considering how much the first episode made me laugh, I'm okay with that.

Posted by Roarkiller on 07.22.2014, 03:14 AM: It's good hear good reviews on it, because I'm still on the fence on whether to watch it or not.

Posted by Kazegami on 07.22.2014, 04:48 AM: My dad and I started watching Mushishi last night. I'd been meaning to watch it for years and thought it would be one that he'd like too, judging by what I'd heard of it, so... we watched the first four episodes last night. The art in it is absolutely beautiful, by far the best I've seen outside of a Ghibli film; I really like the atmosphere, and the stories themselves are interesting and magical. The only thing that seems to be missing for me so far is some vein of continuity, anything at all to link the individual episodes together. I want to know more about Ginko and his story, since he (and the mushi of course) are the only constants. Or maybe this style is just something I need to get used to. Just seems a bit odd to have a series of twenty-six mini stories without something to tie them together particularly. Maybe this will unfold as we watch.

Posted by Saddletank on 07.22.2014, 05:21 AM: I haven't seen all of series one. After about 1/2 way though I found it harder and harder to watch for the exact reason you gave. It seems to be merely a random series of closed encounters with no over reaching story.

Posted by arren18 on 07.22.2014, 05:42 AM: Sometimes artistic choices like that are just pragmatic. There are lots of images out there showing screencaps of a classroom full of kids with black hair, and then there'll be one with bright pink hair and a different uniform or something, and the joke is that you can always tell who the main character is. It's because, especially with simpler art styles, giving the main character a look that stands out is really helpful even if it isn't exactly realistic.

Posted by FlareNetworkC on 07.22.2014, 10:39 PM: Another was pretty good, Saddles. It wasn't on my favorites list, but overall, pretty good.

Posted by arren18 on 07.23.2014, 12:47 PM: Started Zankyou no Terror. The first episode was really good. It's unusual and exciting to be watching an anime series that's a proper thriller, and there's plenty of mystery to get me interested in seeing more.
