Aldnoa Zero is kinda like that, but worse. Still an OK watch if you have a need for some space combat.

So I just discovered RWBY on YouTube, the whole four seasons in full HD. I had the first two seasons, but they were in just normal SD, the YouTube copies are so much better quality. The other good thing is that it is Rooster Teeth who have put them on YouTube, so no copyright to worry about. Loved the series, only just finished watching the end of season 2, so I got 2 more to go. Some of them are pretty short, well they all are really but they are so good. Highly recommend watching them, especially if you have never watched them before.

As someone who has been watching RWBY for years I can also reiterate felters points about it being great.

Just notice that Netflix has GANTZ: O on it. Not watched it yet as I have been watching the original and still have a couple of episodes to go, but I did start to watch it and it's all done in CGI, and it looks pretty damn awesome. If it's half as good as the original, it will be worth watching.

I don't know if anyone is watching KONOSUBA this season, but if you're not, you really should be. Its honestly one of the best comedy anime I've ever seen, and probably comedies in general for that matter.

The only thing it is not the English dubbed version, I know but my brain wanders right now and I can't keep up with the reading of the subs, so I prefer dubbed versions nowadays, older age and the drugs I'm currently on.

Sounded dubbed to me, unless I can understand Japanese. In the UK it's only 4 episodes - don't know if there are more to come.

It is just 4 episodes. The preview for it was not in English, this is why I thought the release was also not going to be in English, but as you pointed out it is, so YAY for that.

I think season 1 was brought up some pages ago. Certainly gonna watch season 2 once all episodes are out (btw good that you remind me to look up when that will be.)

Ive seen Konosuba and have read up to the latest that has been translated(beyond the anime). I wouldnt say its the funniest but it is definitely funny at parts and its a good anime

If Anime Descriptions Were Accurate

So I have started watching the second series of Blue Exorcist, and it doesn't make any sense. It turns out they have kind of ignored the last 8 episodes from the first series, they never happened. So if you watched all the 25 episodes from the first series, and then start watching the second series, you are left scratching your head, as it does not make any sense. But if you just watch up to and include episode 17, of the first series, and then start watching the second series, it makes sense. It wouldn't be so bad if they somehow explained this, but they do not explain any of it, you have to work it out for yourself, or go onto the internet like I did.

Apart from that it seems to be okay. Hasn't been dubbed into English yet, so subtitles are the way to go, but as I said so far it seems to be okay, but only watched the first 3 episodes so far. Mind you I now have a bold spot from scratching my head.

Sounds like its following the manga from where they parted rather than continuing with the ending that the anime had. The manga is still ongoing.

This is just my guess, not looked it up at all.

I never knew that there was a highlander manga film, it's called Highlander The Search for Vengeance and I found it on youtube.

Been watching Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, its pretty funny. It's all about a young female Japanese computer programmer, who gets drunk and ends up in the mountains somehow, and saves a dragon, not sure on how she does that one either. Anyway, it turns out that Dragons can take human form, and this Dragon is so infatuated with Miss Kobayashi, she decides to become here maid. There is a quite a bit of sexual references and as both Miss Kobayashi and Tohru (the Dragons name) are both female characters, you can see where some of these are going. While there is no sex in the show itself and lesbianism is not directly mentioned, it is hinted upon. It is quite good and worth a watch.

Probably the second best Highlander film of the lot, possibly third depending on how you view Highlander 3.

Yeah its a pretty good show and the fanservice is shamelessly obvious while not going overboard... in most cases *cough* Lucoa *cough*.

InFlamesForEver · Post by **InFlamesForEver** » Fri, 17. Mar 17, 22:56

I also quite enjoy the dragon maid. The fanservice is not bad really, its part of the joke. It is 'D' for dragon after all.
