@Krazer I just got to watching this now. Is that the original OP?

@LoganM Yes.

@Krazer I think that's the strangest OP I've seen since Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

@LoganM That's the second op, this is this first one apparently:

@LoganM I actually haven't watched more than an episode of Gurren Lagann. It was aired before I started watching Anime.

@LoganM Queen's blade was way over the top with the fanservice. I didn't like it. Strike Witches is just... absurd...

@LoganM did madara's arguments convince you that the Sage of The Six Paths would win, no matter what?

@Krazer Are they serious? This seems like something I would do if I wanted to make fun of Naruto (though I haven't seen Naruto, so maybe it works).

@JNat No, I think it's a pointless debate anyway. There's no way to compare characters from different universes.

@LoganM ok, so I'll confess to you that the genjutsu would not work on a robot...

@JNat I confess, Lord Genome is the best hacker of all time.

@Krazer and who is that?

@Mysticial Queens Blade is a bad series by every metric I can think of except sales. Animation is low quality, story is bad, characters are uninteresting, etc.

@LoganM I was quite surprised that it managed to have a plot at all.

@Krazer but he is only good against robots, right?

@Mysticial Wait there's plot?

@JNat He just hacked the moon. Whatever that means.

^^ this

@Krazer Yes there is. At least more of than something like K-ON.

@LoganM I'm not sure I understand what that means... :)

brb, while I go find our super bowl viewing room.

but the SOSP does this to people... somewhat

My team's in it this year, so I actually have to go watch it.

@Mysticial Which one is your team?

SF

I grew up there.

lol I should be rooting for Baltimore, since I'm at JHU, but I really don't care.

and I'll be rooting for the commercials at half time

who's playing?

:)

@JNat Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers

is there a favorite?

@JNat SF I believe

@Krazer and is that your team?

SF according to google. But I haven't ever watched a football game so I don't know how big the advantage is.

@JNat If I did root it would be for the Ravens

(they're closer) xD

@LoganM I also know very little about american football

but I do like SF

@Krazer so either way is fine by you? lol

@JNat Americans know less about real football.

@Krazer there's not much to know about football

@JNat Like I said, I'm in it for the commercials

@Krazer it's a pretty straightforward sport

@JNat There's even less to know about American football.

@Krazer Somehow I started at that video, and ended up here:

@LoganM LOLwut

I must admit Space Jam was pretty good.

@Krazer It had all sorts of technical problems, but it's fun to watch. Kind of like Gurren Lagann, actually.

@LoganM so is that show good or not?

@LoganM it's good, but don't take it too seriously?

@JNat Never take anime too seriously.

@Krazer not too seriously :P

@JNat For me it was hard to watch because I study physics and tons of stuff is plain impossible (like robots throwing galaxies at each other). But if you ignore that it's a great show.

If you haven't watched Gurren Lagann, I recommend giving it a shot

@LoganM I see

that's what I meant

@Krazer how long is it?

The absurdity makes it enjoyable imo

@JNat 27 epis or two movies

@Krazer do the movies replace the anime?

I ask this because you said or

They basically summarize and redo some of the story in two movies

like the madoka movies

or the eva rebuilds

@Krazer but you'd recommend the anime first, right?

yes

I'll add it to my 'to-watch' list

currently I am watching Moribito

then I think I'll go with Hellsing

@Krazer Madoka movies didn't change very much at all in terms of story. Gurren Lagann movies changed a lot more.

than I might check that out

@LoganM true but they added and redid a lot of the scenes

@JNat I recommend checking out Time of Eve, it's a pretty good Type A series

@Krazer Mostly it was reanimating backgrounds, transformation scenes, a few fully redrawn scenes, and new versions of the music. I don't remember any full scenes that they added other than transformations.

do the more mainstream anime (like naruto and one piece....) fit into type A?

or B?

or are they apart from that?

there are easily overlapping

But there is a significant overlap between Type B and new shows/fansubs

@JNat I'd say they're more Aish, but also sort of apart.

I'm in the new/fansub group. And based on what I've watched, I'm most likely a type B.

@Mysticial and what would be considered a classic?

Something like InuYasha.

I'm willing to call Naruto and those long-running runs as classics.

@Mysticial really?

@LoganM It's just small bits like in the scene where Homura about to fall in dispair, after Madoka tells Homura it will be okay, she takes a handkerchief from her uniform pocket and wipes the blood off of Homura’s face

@Mysticial where would you fit cowboy bebop?

@JNat Yeah. To some extent.

@JNat I haven't watched that show, but I've heard it classified as a classic.

@Mysticial do you think FMA would be a classic as Naruto, even though it is much shorter?

@Mysticial Very much so. To some it's a halloween tradition~

I haven't watched FMA either. So I can't judge.

@Mysticial what have you watched?

@Mysticial How do you like "From the New World?"

@Krazer Haven't watched that either.

@JNat VERY new shows.

Pretty much all within the last 5 years.

@Mysticial but... it's... very... new

I don't watch everything that's new.

Just a subset of them.

But I watch almost exclusive new shows.

And exclusively fansubs.

@Mysticial What's on your list this season?
