Oh, oh, can I play?

I think I won.

Looking at the above posts, I finally understand why I feel disconnected from everyone here.

I don't watch anime of ANY kind, with the exception of Kirby Right Back At Ya, which I'm not sure if it even counts.

Go watch some Ghibli movies.

To be fair, I myself do not care whatsoever about anime.

I don't like it, I don't dislike it. I just have no interest in it.

Anyone else here watches Steven Universe? The show is soooo cuuteeeeeee

I aleo started watching Utena and Kill la Kill

[Geno]

Welp, thanks to Ceridran, I have finally watched my first non-game-related anime.
It was that "Nichijou" one.
I really enjoyed it. There's just something about it, that makes it a step up above most of the things I end up seeing on TV nowadays.
That, and I kinda like the art style too. (brb, making another avatar)

Speaking of TV shows I enjoy, my most favourite TV show ever, Doctor Who, is turning 50 tomorrow!
Too bad none of the older Doctors will be in it.

In fact, you know what? If it weren't for Doctor Who, my mum and dad would have never met, which means I wouldn't exist, or if I did, I'd probably be a completely different person!

I mean, clearly it's a quality TV show if it helps people come into existence.

Watched Chobits yesterday. It's hilarious.

From the generic-catchy-cheesy OP to the wacky hijinx of the episodes themselves it's amazing romantic comedy, even though it seems to be intended as some kind of serious love story. Watch Episode 4 with the English dub for best results.

Hope it's okay to bump this.

So, for those who finished Kill La Kill, there's going to be a 25th episode! ... in September 2014. ; n ;

[Bikdark]

Ohhhh my god KLK episode 24 was spectacular.

Meanwhile Golden Time was a slightly more child friendly School Days :^)

[Ceridran]

I forgot what episode of Kill la Kill I was on, (20 or 21) but I've heard the "last" episode is very.. meh. Of course, everyone has a different perspective.

[-FiniteZero-]

So.

I like Star Trek. (No duh)

I've seen 8 out of 12 films of it so far. (1-6, 11 and 12)

My favorite, in terms of what I enjoy the most, I haven't really decided yet. I think it's a tie between II and III.

My favorite is also Star Trek V. Not because it's the one I like watching the most, but because it's the most fascinating.

[Tfp BreakDown]

So lately I've been watching up on this Kill la Kill thing, trying to see what is so good about it. currently on episode 15 atm. So far the only things that had me interested were mutant ryuko, and shackle and blade regelia mk2 (or 3 in blade's case) other than that it's been kind of meh. Meanwhile, I have also been re-watching episodes of kinikuman and ultimate muscle (which stills make me smile)

Was going to say this while responding to a forum game but I moved this comment~

I wanted to say that in my opinion, Levi is one of the worst characters in AoT, next to Eren and some others. I despise emotionless characters, because they're there for.. .. What are they there for, again?

Because the manga has more material, obviously there will be a second AoT season, but I don't think I'l care about it this time around.

I tried roleplaying with the database of a magic powered starship that's been miniaturized into a semi-humanoid form and is fused with a black hole and parts of the ship. It had no emotion. It was the worst thing I've tried. It only consisted of "destroy anyone I see". I eventually killed the roleplay because I caused a city to go into super recontrol mode and spew gas all over the place.

Did you really just call Levi emotionless?
Have you seen like...any scene with him in it?

I believe it's the very first time we have an extensive visit with him where it's pointed out that he is a neat freak who does not like being dirty. Not five minutes later, he grabs the bloodied, mangled hand of a dying soldier and tells him that he did not die in vain. The man dies while Levi is talking to him, and he asks someone nearby if they thought he heard all of it.

The man does not always express his emotions, but it's not hard to see what he's feeling, especially near the end of the show. If you want someone who is "emotionless," it'd be better to point out that Erwin is much harder to read than Levi, but even he shows basic emotions throughout the show.

[Rui]

Soooo, I finished Serial Experiments Lain.

It's.... one of those philosophical anime that require you to think, per se. If you're expecting tons of action or moe high school ventures, then it's not for you. I personally think that I'll rewatch it soon since I feel there's a lot to it that I missed (not that it really has a central plot, I mean, it also probably does! It's really up to the viewer as how they interpreted the show). @____@;

Up next is Free! and then Mawaru Penguindrum after that.

So, do any of you guys own a VHS player?

My dad owns one, but it's hooked up to his computer, so I can't use it.
