The Anime/Manga thread

[The Batlord]

I've actually been digging the original Mobile Suit Gundam recently. Never really been the biggest giant robot fan, but this isn't the same kind of ridiculous, robot porn shows that generally turn me off. It's actually shaping up to be a rather good space opera. None of the characters are particularly engaging at the moment, and it's definitely taking its sweet time with the pacing, but it has a surprisingly mature take on warfare and its consequences that isn't nearly as tired and corny as a lot of the later series that just ran that concept into the ground. Looking forward to finishing this series and then going on to the second one, Zeta Gundam, which seems to be one of the gundam shows by which all other gundam shows are measured.

I tried SAO at the time the series was hyped up and i didn't like it..

that's why i haven't watched attack on titan and why i don't really follow the trendy animes that suddenly get too popular..

Regarding your limitation, there are tons of site where you can stream any anime, i personally like to use Anime freak cause they have a fast media player.

I saw a small clip the other day, and after hearing everyone go on about how good the artwork was I was expecting to be blown away. It looked good and all, but it didn't really look so much better than everything else that it was worthy of special note. I am becoming dubious.

Attack On Titan is pretty swell. Hell, if you guys read the premise instead of basing your impressions off a half-assed preview, I think you'd get that much. The fandom that's sprung up around it, on the other hand, is annoying as fuck.

I'm just talking about the art. Looked highly overrated. And if the fanboys are off about that, then I've still got a lot of shows and anime to catch up on and only a limited amount of daylight to do so.

It very well could be but im not jumping on that bandwagon, besides personally i don't see the appeal of it im not even interested of learning about the premise, maybe in the future i'll give it a shot and like it but for some reason i don't like following the trendy animes cause the fans tend to over hype it even when it's not that good and it's just something new.

What sites do you use? I know of crunchy roll or something

I am a decent chunk into it now and while not particularly that great I'm still interested in seeing how it pans out. Also I will admit I am a sucker for a good love story, Asuna and Kirito are perfect for each other.

I use Netflix because it's easy and it works on my phone, I only have internet on here and my tablet. Allot of those sites are buggy on mobile devices but I've gotten a few to work

Dude, there are so ****ing many. Just type the series and episode you're looking for into Google and you'll get at least three different pages of different sites all with what you're looking for. It can be kind of a pain if you're concerned with sub vs dub (which I am, **** dub), but you'll still find what you're looking for pretty much guaranteed with ten minutes on Google.
