Am I the only one who finds Blood+ to be atrociously animated when it comes to everything except the fight scenes?
Then again, the characters are relatively uninteresting and downright annoying in the case of Saya's brothers, so I suppose I should be happy less manpower is directed toward the "character & plot advancement" part of the show.

Hmm, I've seen better animation, but I've also seen worse. (After watching Speed Grapher a lot of things suddenly seem well-animated.)

Also, I find that right now I won't give a verdict on the characters. Sure they've all been there before, but then, this show is just at the beginning.

Saw episode 6 off Canvas, pretty crappy series actually. gonna stop watch it now.

Finished up trinity blood 3 episodes I watched-- Hopefully there will be a second season of this series, I really enjoyed it.

I didnt like Trinity blood actually.
It went kinda bananas towards the end.
Talking about vampires, saw episode two off "Karin", and well I cant say if its any good yet. Interesting but I dunno yet.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 10:02 pm

haven't heard of that one, but vampire shows should be checked out, so I'll look at it, too.

Meanwhile I'm rewatching Gungrave, and I must say it doesn't get any worse on the rewatch. Possibly some things even come off as less annoying than the first time, like that damned moroseness of the main character, or the idiotic "orcmen", which happily won't reappear for a while where I'm at now.

I must say that GunGrave is good anime and you should all watch it! It has a good story! And it isn't all about action!javascript:emoticon(':lol:')

Watched Solty Rei 6, bit of a mixed bag with some corny elements, and even more cliché.

Post by **Fuji Nagase** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 7:08 pm

yeah, i heard gungrave was pretty good.

uh, i am watching/starting to read GANTZ. it was supprisingly good. ( i got to the mid-beginning of the 2nd season) although its shonen to the core, with annoying female characters, i liked how the male characters turned out. and i liked the splot of course. i had started gun frontier and elfin lied a while back. i liked gun frontier, but elfin lied had too much of the chobits thing going on(chi?). --1st ep. was good though.-- but im far too poor to get any more anime for a while. T-T

Saw the latest episode off Bleach, this show just gets better and better. To bad Im to lazy right now to start reading the manga

Watched Blood+ 6, very good ep, although I found the character work on Saya a little strange.

Watched GxS 10 and 11, I really don't know why I'm still watching this, there are only about two or three good moments in each ep. Well, the plot is getting somewhere finally, so I think I'll still continue. Damn.

I've finally gotten X the TV-series, and started watching that.

Gungrave is one of the best animes out there, it surely deserves its top spot, although I would have liked it if they had distanced it even more from the console game it came from.

I'm only watching Bleach right now. Just watched 59 on Wednesday. Great episode

Just watched 2 episodes of Texhnolyze -> dropped it
Watched the first episode of Jigoku Shoujo -> dropped it
Watched FMP - Second Raid 13v2 -> did this series end now?
Watched Trinity Blood eps 19 - 21 -> waiting for more episodes
Watched the first episode of Ginga Densetsu Weed -> waiting for more episodes

And about Gungrave... Well it was good to the point where Brandon became Beyond the Grave then it went downhill

Thats too bad, it starts to pick up around episode 6.

Post by **Loeviz** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 8:07 pm

Saw blood+ episode 7. And I really thought it was a crappy one.
Hope the series will get a little better after this´, otherwise I think I´ll drop it.
And where the heck is the new episode off Basilisk, I crave it in my dreams dammit

I really don't like the overall feel of Blood+. I have only watched the first episode but, Saya is just too cute. I really wanted Blood+ to be hardcore like the OVA .... but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Post by **Loeviz** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 8:24 pm

No it´s a little to "sweet" for my taste all over.
But perhaps something will happen now when she´s being given missions so she´s all alone.. I hope

Currently re-watching Bebop.

Post by **Darnoc** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 10:33 am

Watched some Blood+ and decided not to watch it anymore

The main char just doesn't have enough balls

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 11:19 am

You guys are all too harsh. What really bugs me about Blood+ is not the lack of hardcore-ness, but the purely generic character work they are doing on both Saya and her family. In fact aside from parts of the plot the show hasn't been one bit innovative.

Yeah I see your point here, and I agree

heh, I'm currently downloading Gun Frontier on the recommendation that it is an uber MANLY anime, and utterly ridiculous. Sounds like fun ^^

Other shows I'm watching range from older to new ones. GITS SAC (1st season), Eureka 7 (the raws anyway, subs are too slow), Noein, Yakitate, Mushishi (very good atypical anime, imo), and Kino no Tabi. And then there's the usual staple of my anime diet, One Piece, followed with slower paced subs of Snow Queen (anime adaption of a Hans Christian Andersen story), GUNxSword, Karas, and a few more I can't think of.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 6:56 pm

Honestly what do other people think about GunXsword?

I really hate it when I can't even decide on whether a show sucks or not.

I cant decide either if it sucks or not. When the mechs comes forth it really stinks. But otherwise its pretty entertaining I think.

Have you seen "Prayers" yet ? You should check that out, have the same dilemma there if it´s any good or not.
But I think I´ll get a pretty good idea in 4-5 episodes
