New and current FS anime Topic

[Orka]

and there's an article on ANN that Bones president wouldn't mind doing Full Metal Alchemist 2(Why?!) and Darker than Black 2 but they're not confirmed as such.

That rumour got busted before it really got going. A list with studios and animators apparently surfaced claiming Bones to be planning a sequel to FMA and Darker than Black. A day or so later the head guy at bones came out with an official statement saying there was no plans for either and that the list was made by some 3rd party, was aload of rubbish and was apparently created to slander the company in some way.

[Zapp$ter]

But the ANN article says they are interested. There's an interview they held with the head guy at BONES after the incident and he said it's not been decided on yet and that they are interested in doing them.

They've (ANN) said they'll post the rest of it after Anime Expo. So I wouldn't say it's been totally ruled out.

edit: and I've also asked a mate to take a look at it on the site and he told me there was no mention of either series in the official statement or anything saying there was "no plans for either". There were only comments regarding the leaked file.

Rargh. More stuff:

Sekirei: Was cautiously expectant of this but it turns out I shouldn't have been really. Rosario + Vampire of the season it seems with it being a bit of a disappointment compared to the manga although they kept the giant breasts and clothes which kept ripping but made the story a bit more silly. The music really annoyed me for it's genericness as well. Not enough to stop me watching mind.

Birdy: Top stuff. Nice animation and a decentish story-line. Had to keep repeating to myself "It's not Nina, you don't need to hate her" whenever Birdy was talking though.

Hidamari 365: Yay! Bit of a recap but still as good as it was before. Typical greatness from Miyako as before.

Got Slayers and Mahou Tsuki kicking about but I'm determined not to watch them till I get round to their previous series which will be a while considering the slow download speed of the Slayers batch. <_<

[Tobal]

Just watched Birdy to, good stuff. Reminds me alot of MiB mixed with Figure17(the super girl fighting space aliens on earth bit).

Im thinking of getting the dvds for Slayers, i had alook back at my collection and there all terrible quality avi's and i wouldn't mind seeing the epic balls to wall stuff at the middle and end of Next and Try again.

edit***

you had me confused with Mahou Tsuki being a sequel, had to look up the english name and holy hell is a sequel to Someday's Dreamers... been 3/4 years seen i watched that and i've totally let this pass me by, i remember liking that alot.

[Zapp$ter]

I don't think it's a sequel, it's just using the same setting. IIRC it's based on a new manga of the same name. Different characters involved.

edit: haha! just watched kurenai ep 6 in my efforts to finish it off. Lovely episode. Didn't expect that. Very pleased with how it's progressing

edit2: wow. That was damn good. Ended on a very nice and unexpected note.

->Open Spoiler<-

I'd have probably preferred them to have left with Murasaki but as ever she always surprises. One of the starts of the show for me. Kept just the right side of annoying throughout the series (though there were moments).

Loved the humour in the series and the chemistry between the characters, probably my favourite set of episodes was at the beginning of the series mainly because I liked the setup, the pacing etc.. and the comedy also helped that. There were some nice action scenes too, and I jumped for joy when

->Open Spoiler<-

crazy bitch Lin and that knob of a brother(was he sleeping with his mother? maybe I was reading too much into the "wait for me in a warm room, mother" comment) got a beat down.

Voice acting was great too and I enjoyed the music in it. The more I think about it the less there is that I dislike. Even some of the questionable stuff they poke fun at themselves with

->Open Spoiler<-

like the whole lolicon thing

Big surprise really as it wasn't high up on my anticipated list before the season started but after a few episodes it quickly became a favourite. One of the best shows the season had to offer for me. I wouldn't mind seeing more of these characters if there is a continuation to be had. Would certainly be interesting to see where the manga/novels are etc...

[Mr.Jeff]

Hah! First this time but I've been waiting for this series so...
Natsume Yuujinchou ep1: Mushishi meets some of the sillyness of 'holic is the best way I can think of it. First ep was really good; superb animation and the storyline seems great as well. Definitely a keeper of the season.

Also, the extra dvd episode of Aria is floating around, ep 5.5, so for those who care be sure to pick it up.

watched slayers revolution - didnt think much of it to be honest

also watched strike witches and that looks as if it could be good

[SuperBeatBoy]

Have you seen Slayers before? Its a huge series, i haven't seen any of it myself so i will give it a miss unfortunatly. Always wanted to watch it from the start though.

nah i havent, but i dont think its my thing

was there ever a code geass R1, just wondering if there was a series before the one thats on at the moment

[Zapp$ter]

There was, except it wasn't referred to as R1. It was simply referred to as Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion etc....R2 which is the new on is the follow up. If you haven't seen the first then you're missing out on quite a lot. I'd catch up with that one asap.

[Tobal]

I don't think newer anime fans will get in to Slayers much, has been a decade since the last and it looks to be repeating the formula laid down by past 3 seasons (and movies), intro -> sillyness -> Badyguys intro -> mid point cliffhanger and all **** breaks loose ->bit more sillyness -> twist for real badguy -> epic end. Give it a chance, heck Xelloss hasen't turned up yet one of the best anti-heroes ever created

[Zapp$ter]

Heh. I still have the old files you sent me, but I think I also got the newer batch of the dvd rip ones. I remember seeing a huge torrent for Slayers which I grabbed. Need to find the hard drive they are on. If anyone wants me to send them out on some dvds I'd be happy to. Just PM me.

I'm just looking for some good action/adventure with a bit of comedy and I remember Slayers fitting the bill or at least what I've heard about it from people. I suppose the older art style will take a bit of getting used to but then I've seen stuff from shows in the 80s so I think I'll be okay in that regard.

[Tobal]

those files are horrible and old, i think some of them are even VHS rips , i might take you up on that, still not watched all the Ranma1/2 yet, finding time for old and new is hard

[Zapp$ter]

Heh. So true. I haven't had a chance to watch all of Ranma either (I think I'm somewhere near the end of the first season) and since then I've managed to acquired all 195 eps + 11 OVAs + 6 movies of urusei yatsura . The trouble with some of the older shows is there are so many episodes for some of them, it's crazy.

[kryss]

Someone upped a torrent to Tokyotosho with EVER Slayers series so far - 30GB. I think I'll pass.
