My laptop's mouse pad thing is really sticky...O.o
Ehe, ermm...That's not what I was going to talk about! XD
So I've been watching anime for the past two days...
And I've found some that I REEAAALLLY like! I'll show you the one that I like the most (I think...I've actually seen the ones that I really liked at very different times, so I can't remember anymore):
The anime is Sengoku Basara based off of the video game (which I need to play). The opening is not much, but it's better than showing you the whole episode! XD
As you can see, the animation is pretty good, but I've noticed that the animation in the actual anime is WAAAAAY better than that in the opening! I mean...I was watching it and...I was totally blown away. I thought Akira had good animation...O.o However, this AMAZING animation can only be seen in the fighting scenes...>.> I mean, there is really good animation throughout, but it's not as good as Akira's. Only Sengoku Basara's fight scenes are better than Akira.
There were soooo many animation techniques used...like the distortion of objects, like if you were to pause it, the sword would look like a snake because they twisted it so much that it no longer looks like a sword, but when you watch it, it looks like a sword...O.o
So awesome! <333 I was thinking about it ALL day, but I had other anime to watch...TT^TT
I found one bad thing, also...It's that the voice acting is really weird...I dunno if you'd say it's bad...but one of the MEN has a woman's voice, and he's supposed to be a manly man...>.> I'd like him if I didn't see a woman every time he spoke...>.> But the girl who likes him has an ADORABLE voice! I lovezz her voice! <333
But good news! I found anime just as good! ^ ^
There's Bakemonogatari...which I can't show you a video of because I can't find any good ones that aren't like 5 or more minutes long (you guys need short videos to watch).
It reminds me of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei...The style of the animation, how it's all artistic and stuff. And the story is a bit strange. This anime doesn't have any important animated scenes, actually the important scenes are when they're just standing there and talking...XD It's mostly dialogue, and less animation. Of course, when there IS animation it's BEAUTIFUL!! O.O
This one's called Rideback. It's very good, but I don't think you'd call the animation of it's perks. I like the story better than the animation. The animation is pretty mainstream...a bit of good here and there, but's it's basically just twitches of frames...and then there's the rideback (the robot), and that's just 3D...so that doesn't count.
Rideback has a REALLY interesting story! It's about a girl who was a ballet dancing prodigy, but then she got a sprain, and realized that she doesn't really care for ballet anymore so she quits. Then years later she happens upon the Rideback club and gets to ride one for the first time and realizes this is her thing.
My terrible summary! XD But it's REALLY good!
Then we have Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 which I really like, also. No video for this one, nor am I going to give you a picture (since the art style might turn you away, it's REALLY simple). This one is about an earthquake...I really like it because it seems so realistic. Not only is the animation REALLY realistic (like there's not too much moving around like in Disney movies, but when they do it's smooth).
I was watching the first episode, and there's this one part where this little kid bumps into the main character (because she was blinded by the sun for a minute) and the kid just looks at her like ,"Uhhhh..." and gets ice cream all over her. While the parents (at least I think they're his parents) scold her for standing in the doorway. My gosh! I just remember that happening to me several times! XD
The times when I'm blinded by the sun, or I accidentally run into a kid (or the kid runs into me) and it just looks so stupid and I get disgusted, but I don't show it and run away...Or I get scolded for doing something that I really didn't mean to do...
That was one of the most truest and realistic things I've EVER seen in anime! O.O
Then there's the other anime that I kinda liked, but didn't love as much as the other ones I talked a lot about:
The Book of Batorra - I actually really wanted to watch this, but it's a bit hard to follow...I mean, it's easy, but they really don't tell you much...It's okay, but it doesn't make me REALLY want to watch it.
Canaan- *laughs* OMIGOSH!! This is hilarious! XD I mean, it's a serious seinen anime an what-not, but I mean, it's SOOO unrealistic! XD So they're at some festival thing and kids are running around and they go into this back alley and there's this guy who was just murdered, and one of the kids falls in the blood and then the other kid comes and they start PLAYING IN THE BLOOD and they can SEE THE DEAD GUY!! What the heck!? Don't they realize that playing in SOME kind of liquid is disgusting especially if it's in a BACK ALLEY!?
Then another time they bring out the dragon and so there are TONS of people celebrating, so it's hard to notice. But some guy goes crazy or something and then coughs up all this blood and falls on the ground bleeding to death, and these two kids with one of the main characters start playing around (because the guy was jumping up and down in pain)the guy EVEN THOUGH HE'S OBVIOUSLY DYING!! And then the main character person goes to take pictures of the kids playing (because that's her job) and she gets a close-up on the dead guy on the ground, and all she notices is that he's eyes look nuts...THE GUY IS DYING A PAINFUL DEATH AND BLEEDING ALL OVER THE GROUND AND ALL YOU NOTICE IS HIS EYES!?
Other than that, it's a bit interesting, but not my favourite.
Natsume Yuujin-chou - This is a sweet anime. I like it, it's getting up there, I just need to watch some more episodes...It's another one of those youkai, ghost anime that I like (like Jigoku Shoujo). It's pretty good, look it up on wiki (or actually watch it).
Requiem for Phantom - Ehhh...I see potential in this, but I've only watched one episode...it's okay...The action is okay, but there's just something weird about it...is it the story? It's another one of those based off of video games. I liked the animation, though.
Ristorante Paradiso - It reminds me of Ouran High School Host Club for some reason...But my only problem is that the young girl like the older men...O.o They'd look better if it weren't for all those wrinkles that the person drew. I mean, he couldn't be more than 30, right? Ehh...if he's more than that...then sorry main character, but that's a bit creepy (like with Tsunku and his wife...Tsunku is like 50 and his wife is like 20).
Saki- This is pretty good, pretty cute, but there's too much fanservice or something...>.> Well, I just don't like something about it...Everybody wears normal shirts, but this one girl has a shirt that looks REALLY tight, and I understand that she has a huge chest...buuuut....isn't that a BIT awkward walking around school like that?
Also, I don't know what or how to play Mahjong...so it's a bit confusing! XD
Tegami Bachi- It seems to be rather popular on here and Manga Bullet because I keep seeing fanart or wallpapers of it...Well, I think the story is rather unique and okay, but I don't really like it that much. I don't like the characters, and the little boy, Lag Seeing, he's very annoying and I wish he'd been buried in a hole and left there...>:( You can cry about your troubles in the dirt, I don't want to here anymore ,"Okaa-san! Okaa-san!" It's annoying! >:(
That's about it...I watched a TON more...but I didn't like those so I stopped watching them in the middle of the first episode...>.>
I'm a bit dizzy right now...I think I should stop watching anime for tonight! XD
