    Your controversial anime opinions.

    Oh I've got a couple more. 1. I don't know why Elfen Lied is considered an anime classic, or why it's on so many "must watch" viewing lists. I think it was a mediocre, unmemorable anime that is only remembered by some because it had some gore in the first few minutes. 2. The Evangelion movies...

    Your controversial anime opinions.

    I thought I'd start a thread to see the opinions of people here that fly in the face of the generally accepted consensus. This can be, opinions on things you consider overrated/underrated, guilty pleasures etc. I'll start. 1. I do not care for the films of Hayao Miyazaki. I've watched a fair...

    Yeah, that's what put me off on it too. It's the type of thing a ten year old boy might find funny. Except a ten year old boy isn't technically allowed to watch it because it's rated 18. :D I don't normally drop shows after one episode because I like to give things a fair chance, but I dropped...

    I totally understand what you mean about Shimoneta. I tried to watch it, and while I appreciate what the anime is satirising, I don't think the message neccessarily translates to quality entertainment.

    Yeah, I was painfully aware of the fact I was being manipulated, but sometimes knowing it and doing something about it can be very different things. :D Emotional attachments can become very difficult to break. What the heart wants and what your reason knows to be true can often be entirely...

    Eromanga Sensei ep 1. All I can say about it at this point is "yep, that's gonna be exactly like Oreimo". Fate/Zero rewatch ep 1-4. This is still bloody amazing. The end scene of the first episode still sends chills down my back, and 2011 animation looking better than pretty much everything...

    The General Conversation Area

    It's probably going to take a long while. I'll be honest here, I feel a lot worse these days than I ever did before I met her. If I were to miraculously end up in a healthy relationship it would probably be a shock to my system and I'd find myself making stupid mistakes. :D So far, I have no...

    I can certainly see many similarities between this person and my ex. Having been around someone with depression for a very long time, one of the things jumps out at me specifically. The one about not being happy with her looks is something I have had to reassure on so many times that the words...

    The Visual Novel Thread

    Just bought the bundle on steam, so I'm about to finally start playing the Clannad visual novel. I hope it lives up to the high expectations I have for it, but I doubt I'll be disappointed with it since I loved the anime! Edit: I've completed four routes so far and feel like I've barely...

    The General Conversation Area

    I will go on to talk about my own problems a bit now, if everyone here would indulge me a bit on that. I'll echo some of the points stated earlier, that being in a relationship is not always all it would seem it's cracked up to be. In my case it only took around a couple months before problems...

    The General Conversation Area

    I thought I'd weigh in on this since I read the last few pages and was quite heartened to learn that there are people out there similar to myself. On one level I did know that my situation couldn't possibly be unique, but when you're surrounded with people who have no trouble whatsoever with...

    I don't plan to find out. :D As Grav said, there is an expanded version which was released later with eroge content. I ain't gonna touch that **** with a ten foot pole though. It would just make me sad.

    The Visual Novel Thread

    I think my mentality on this thus far is to go for the eroge version if it was originally released as such, since the original vision would have been altered to compensate for cut scenes, but don't go for it if the original version was an "all ages" one. I believe Little Busters was originally...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    I don't recall seeing it there, and it isn't on the legal streaming thread either. Maybe one of the ones Funi only has a US license for?

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    I'll second that request! I know it was on CR, but since it was removed from there I don't think there is even a legal way to watch it in this country except importing it now.

    The Visual Novel Thread

    I'm currently playing through the original Tsukihime. I haven't played many visual novels so far, only Steins;Gate Zero and Root Letter on my PS4. This is definitely the first one with eroge elements I've tried, but I saw the anime and it intrigued me. Since all of the fans of the vn hate the...

    UK Anime Distributor Funimation UK Discussion Thread (Pre-Manga Merger)

    I downloaded mine a few weeks ago, so perhaps the app was already finalised for UK use by then. It would always do a country check when I turned it on.

    UK Anime Distributor Funimation UK Discussion Thread (Pre-Manga Merger)

    I'd already used a US account to download it, so I didn't notice. :D It's still a buggy mess as far as I can tell though. Buffer issues on every video, random crashes, badly timed CC subs etc. Crunchyroll got that stuff down, maybe they should share some tips with them. :D

    That's the problem with Manga releases, at least lately. Whenever I start one up I inwardly pray it isn't one they authored themselves. You'd think that since people complain about this stuff with every single release that does it, and every other company pretty much standardised this yonks ago...
