Posted September 3, 2014 10/10 I haven't seen it yet, but I have it in my log (it's 2nd in line). Dang you Bakemonogatari. Each new season is called something different, but Plex treats it as one long show with 4 different seasons. That makes matching the episodes a pain considering the specials (the summaries and such). I hope I get this joke when I watch it. It looks like it's funny. Could you please use something more "milder" just so we dont end up on the Mod´s "watch list" I'm pretty sure this thread has been on their "watch list" (if it exists) for a while. † Christian Member † For my pertinent links to guides, reviews, and anything similar, go here, and look under the spoiler labeled such.

Posted September 3, 2014 Should I watch Fairy Tail? I've marathoned One Piece before (~300 episodes), so I'm not new to the whole aspect of catching up on an anime that's 100's of eps long (I will never watch Conan tho'). I'm apprehensive about starting a long anime series again. Is it worth it? I feel like it's worth it, but I'm not sure. I marathoned up to 157(it is now almost to 200) and I thought it was good although I'm not sure I would recommend someone marathoning it like I did. Also I know @TheProfosist would say not to watch it at all because to him it seems to just be too referential of the writers other work Rave Master although I have never seen it so I can not comment on that.

I thought Rave Master was ok. I saw most of the series, admittedly the English/US version, and while it was cool, at most I'd rate it as "good" on a 7 point scale from terrible to amazing (terrible - awful - bad - mediocre - good - great - amazing). The Japanese version may be different (less censorship, better translations, and such). Sounds like something I might like. If you have to suggest a starting number for getting the gist of the show, what would it be? 3 episodes is sort of a golden rule, but I think that only applies to normal anime that is 12-50 episodes long. Longer anime are usually exceptions. i.e. "Watch this many before giving up on it." † Christian Member † For my pertinent links to guides, reviews, and anything similar, go here, and look under the spoiler labeled such.

Longer anime are usually exceptions. i.e. "Watch this many before giving up on it." TBH (from a manga point of view) I seemed to enjoy Rave Master more than Fairy Tail. I've only seen about 80 episodes of Fairy Tail, but I'm currently up to date on the manga. There's something about it that just doesn't get me excited to see the next chapter, unlike other manga/ anime where after the chapter I'm all excited and can't wait for next week. One of the things that annoys me about it is the 'friendship power', where the more they believe in their nakama the stronger they are against their enemy, etc etc and that sort of thing doesn't makes any logic to me, so it kind of ruins it. Heaps of people seem to like it though, so you should probably give it a go.

Posted September 3, 2014 I somewhat get it but I'm not sure... The Monogatari Series is famous for its text on cut frames... More or less, you could literally make a PowerPoint presentation with all of the cut frames from -monogatari I haven't seen it yet, but I have it in my log (it's 2nd in line). Dang you Bakemonogatari. Each new season is called something different, but Plex treats it as one long show with 4 different seasons. That makes matching the episodes a pain considering the specials (the summaries and such). I hope I get this joke when I watch it. It looks like it's funny. I'm pretty sure this thread has been on their "watch list" (if it exists) for a while. It has more to do with SHAFT than it does with the series' If you've already watched Sayonarao Zetsubo Sensei then imagine that in it's place and you'll get the joke, it's more or less the same (arguably SZS fits that image macro better, IMO) so you would be familiar with the slide shows and walls of text flashing everywhere. there's a lot of humor, but the plot and events in it are pretty interesting. You gotta have quick eyes and quick fingers to get all the cut frame goodness... The show starts with 'plot'. Definitely need to be a fast reader, though all the cuts were never really intended to be completely read, because it's not even possible for people to do that while it's airing. but seriously, some of the cut frames you need some good reflexes to catch, lol.

Nope. Never seen SZS either. Or any SHAFT anime for that matter. I'll be changing that with this though. Is a cut frame like in Fight Club where for 1 frame there's an image out of place?

Is a cut frame like in Fight Club where for 1 frame there's an image out of place? Except maybe for slightly longer so it's somewhat readable? it's a SHAFT thing in some of their works. It will vary from a sentence or two for 2 seconds which is enough if you can read very quickly, to a paragraph flashing for a second. SZS is more OTT to a point where you're actually reading most of the time and it will take far more than 20 minutes per episode if you read everything. But don't take my word for it, you'll understand soon I do like reading their frames and backgrounds though You can expect a few cut frames with a little bit of text that you can usually understand if it's flashed infront of you. Some of the longer sentences or two you usually get a a second or two, and then there are paragraphs that may occur for like 3~5 seconds, but those are seldom if any in the -monogatari lineup you need to be on top of your reading game for some of SHAFT series' Error: 410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 3, 2014 More or less, you could literally make a PowerPoint presentation with all of the cut frames from -monogatari I'm gonna try that when I find the time... Nope. Never seen SZS either. Or any SHAFT anime for that matter. I'll be changing that with this though. Is a cut frame like in Fight Club where for 1 frame there's an image out of place? Except maybe for slightly longer so it's somewhat readable? A cut frame can last for 1/24 of a second at its shortest... and each one can contain very elaborate walls of text and several concepts that require TL notes... Speaking of SHAFT: Nisekoi...

I remember first time I watched SZS...I learned how to be a better person. Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending.

Posted September 3, 2014 Except for nisekoi and arakawa under the bridge, shaft make good stuff. Then I have seen SHAFT stuff. I liked both of those animes. I particularly liked Arakawa's art style. It was a trippy perspective where the scenery was inverted. i.e. close things are silhouetted, far off things are very detailed. I liked Nisekoi because it's music reminded me of Kingdom Hearts, otherwise it was ok at best. † Christian Member † For my pertinent links to guides, reviews, and anything similar, go here, and look under the spoiler labeled such.

Posted September 3, 2014 Should I watch Fairy Tail?
