@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?
23:15
@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.
23:20
@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.
23:24
@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.
23:27
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
23:32
@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
23:34
@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:
23:35
@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.
23:43
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?
23:46
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.
23:51
do the more mainstream anime (like naruto and one piece....) fit into type A?
or B?
or are they apart from that?
Here are the categories I can think of:
1. Classics
2. Dubs
3. new shows/fansubs
4. Type A
5. Type B
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.
23:55
@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~
23:57
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.
23:59
@Mysticial What's on your list this season?
