Heaven Society - Week 47 Anime Poll

[Charger]

It's polling time once again! Which series will be deemed worthy of this week's topic of discussion? Let's see!

Selector Infected WIXOSS
Current

This was suggested by @azurezeed saying "People like to say this is the children of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Madoka Magica, sometimes it can feel a little slow but the ambient of the anime makes you want to know more and what will happen next, there are some great moments that will surprise you, overall a good anime though not exactly a masterpiece since it have some flaws."

WIXOSS is a card game that's popular with teenagers. Supposedly there exist "LRIG Cards," female character cards with wills of their own. Special girls can hear the voices of the LRIGs, and those who possess them are called "Selectors." These Selectors have card battles in a dimension that other humans cannot access. It's said that whoever triumphs in these battles will have their wish granted. Ruko Kominato is the latest girl to find a LRIG card. She names hers Tama, and without any further explanation is thrown into her life as a Selector.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199
Recent

This was suggested by @wolfgang saying "take a WWII era battleship, update it with lasers and stick it in space. a well done remastering of the original from the 70's. As the earth slowly dies a single ship sets out for a miracle to save the planet but they only have a year to make the 148,000 light-year journey there and back before all of humanity is gone."

The year is 2199. The human race has been crushed in their war with the Gamilos, driven into underground cities by the invader's assault. Scientists estimate they have only a year left. The young officers Susumu Kodai and Daisuke Shima receive a mysterious capsule from a ship that made an emergency landing on Mars and return with it to Earth. It contains humanity's last hope: the planet Iscandar on the other side of the Magellan Galaxy has the technology to defeat the Gamilos and restore the planet. The space battleship Yamato is entrusted with this task, but they have only one year before humanity ends.

Black Lagoon
Pre-2007

This was suggested by @gastew15 saying "The anime provides almost constant action with it's intense characters, but actually holds substance at the same time and provide a huge amount of entertainment beyond just *bang *bang *explosion. The character's and interaction are what separates Black Lagoon from just some other shoot 'em up crude anime."

Okajima Rokuro is a Japanese businessman…in a town full of Japanese businessmen. His normal day consists of social drinking with clients and being kicked around by his bosses. He finally gets a break though, as he’s sent by his company to the tropical seas of Eastern China to deliver a disc…only his boat gets hijacked by a band of mercenaries that were hired to steal it. “Rock” (as he is newly dubbed by his captors) catches the interest of the only female merc “Revy” as she thinks he’s worth a ransom, taking him hostage. However, the disc turns out to be more trouble than its worth, and complicates things both for Rock, and the mercenaries known as Black Lagoon.

Kids on the slope
Random

This was suggested by @eelnico09 saying "(Romance/Music/Slice of life) This anime will make you love Jazz if you don't love it already. It's situated on the 60's, a new guy on the school that lacks social skills, but that has incredible piano skills will end up making friends and making a jazz band with them. A normal story with drama, very good music and romance."

The beginning of summer, 1966.

Because of his father's job situation, freshman high school student Kaoru Nishimi moves by himself from Yokosuka to Kyushu to live with relatives. Until then, Kaoru was an honor roll student who tended to keep to himself, but meeting notorious bad boy Sentaro Kawabuchi starts to change him. Through his devil-may-care classmate, Kaoru learns the attractions of jazz and finds the first person he can call a "friend". He also discovers how much fun it is to play music with a pal.

Other characters include Sentaro's kind childhood chum, Ritsuko, who is the daughter of a record shop owner; the mysterious upperclassman, Yurika; and Brother Jun, the much-admired leader among their peers. Set against the backdrop of a seaside town with a scent of American culture, this series is a drama about young people coming into their own, crossing each other's paths, and finding friendship, love, and music!

black lagoon no question

[Oshino Shinobu]

Hmm, Selector Infected is the only one that looks interesting to me. I'm really not a fan of Index, Railgun was much better IMO. 

 

EDIT: @Charger Where's the poll? ):

 

[CatCloud]

Yamato or kids on the slope.. Hmm

@Charger you forgot the poll options

fucking thing i made it to time to do it again

[Daegun]

It's a battleship. In space! A space battleship. What crazy thing will they think of next, turn the whole thing into a giant laser cannon?

 

 

Edit: Obligatory space core.

[wolfgang]

My vote may be slightly skewed. Black Lagoon was really good also.

[TetraSky]

Hard to decide between Index and Black Lagoon.. but going with Index... Simply because I'm currently reading Index's "New Testament", sequel to the original 24 volume series(anime covers about half of them), at the moment.

[Delusional Phil]

Blood Lagoon for sure !

[azurezeed]

so WIXOSS has no chance against those other popular anime eh?

[Charger]

so WIXOSS has no chance against those other popular anime eh?

no it seems it has no chance against a well known anime like black lagoon that is just a lot of action it seems to be holding its own against the rest

[DigitalHermit]

Not too many lovers of index??

 

(yes I'm still alive... just a bit too busy IRL...)

[Charger]

Like the rehash of the Accelerator fight...

Hmm, I thought Index vs Railgun was more like...

[Charger]

not to me I dropped index but loved railgun.

[BashZeStampeedo]

I'm still not sure there's any value in suggesting something so recent that people have likely watched (or are watching) it anyway. Especially currently-airing stuff. Wouldn't the point of this sort of thing be to expand the horizons of the club members, not just reinforce their comfort zones? Note that I'm not really complaining about the actual picks, I'm just not sure whether there's any point in voting for stuff people are likely to watch anyway if they're anime fans.

Also Railgun isn't better than Index, they're the same bloody anime (except that Railgun focuses less on the dumb action and more on the girls farting around).

PS: if you're watching Index, don't expect much from season two.

[Rashy]

Why is it charger thats posting? WHERES FRED?!

[Phorlorn]

Well, definitely Sakamichi no Apollon, very good music-themed anime.

[Fred Castellum]

Why is it charger thats posting? WHERES FRED?!

I asked him to help, I was really busy. 

 

Thanks @Charger.
