About battosai-01
First, Malgraph because all the kids are doing it these days



Personal rankings for Spring 2013 season (so far)


So about me...just your typical Otaku or have I not earned that title yet? o_O Unfortunatly I don't have much merchandise, but about 75% of my spare time is dedicated to anime. I'm a pretty lenient rater, enjoyment and atmosphere are probably the most important things for me in an anime. I'm usually pretty open when it comes to anime, I'll try most things as long as I think it might be good, but I'll avoid a few certain genres. I feel like choosing just 5 or 10 favourite anime for all the genres of anime out there is kinda unfair, so I'm going to go ahead and make a few lists for a few different genres (so pretty much extended favorites). Some anime will bleed into other genres so I'm going to try to have unique ones for each list.

My favourite Fantasy anime


My favourite Sci-fi anime


My favourite Mecha anime


My favourite Action/Seinen anime

You're a busy one, aren't you? Methinks fresh air needs you more than your MAL list, but whatever makes you happy. Tbh, it makes me kinda happy when you add stuff that's on my list/regarded highly, like SWWEET, and rate it high... but you shouldn't put my needs first. (+1 for also liking China Girl)

Just a random protip, here: read Heads. Drawn & written by the Iikigami mangaka. 4-volumes. Fully translated. Psychological seinen. You haven't read. Why not? I know you're typing about wanting to branch out but it' s hard not to be true to oneself, and males generally get off on the likes of Shingeki more than shoujo.

...but, if you're serious about branching out into romance/drama, have you watched Maison Ikkoku? Noticed you ain't read the manga. What about Please Save My Earth?.... WHAT ABOUT EVERY NON-ACTION/MANLY TITLE I RATE HIGHLY THAT YOU KNOW NOT OF?

As you can see my anime list is not a big one (yours huge and this intimidates me a bit, but I'm also glad that you are willing to share your knowledge with me) I haven't seen many shoujo, and the gender is hardly a problem for me (until it's not a high school-piece of life-romance >.> I think I may be a clannad hater). I've heard a lot about Utena, i.a. that it's quite complex (I'm looking for someone to simul-watch Utena so the risk of getting lost or miss some important details will be lesser). I'm interested in Kaleido Star because it's one of few anime about circus, however I was pleased when I found out that it has good notes. I don't unerstand why the circus theme is not popular among anime. It's such a broad subject, you can speak about it forever and virtually never exhaust it. It provides very wide gamut of art and characters, and it gives a legit oportunity for wild colours and plots. Maybe thats just too much space.
I'll send you PW with my MSN

That's great! I'm not sure how do you guys usually deal with timing? My time zone is UTC+1
And don't apologize for being cynical 'cause I'll either like it or won't even recognize it :P

It's just about the opposite where I am, everything here sucks. The only place that actually has some decent manga is about a 30-40 minute drive from where I live but it's in the bad part of town so it's not often that I go there. I've read Gyo and it's one of my favorites but the anime is still in my plan to watch. I'll get around to it eventually but hopefully it won't ruin the story/fun of it. Wow, I didn't even know they made a Uzumaki film until now, thank you! I'll definitely be watching it in the near future.

I can't say I'm familiar with what you mentioned but Uchuu Senkan Yamato caught my eye. In a way, I do enjoy the remakes but I hope RoV will not get a remake? If that makes any sense. I didn't find any enjoyment out of the musicals though.

An original art by hirasaki yuuya.

I think Skype updated itself a couple days ago, but no problems for me. You definitely seem to be screwed and all I can say is...


timebourne | 03-20-13, 6:22 PM
Same! Obscure anime are sometimes one of the best! :)

Agh i understand. That's my biggest complaint about Magi :/ Fairy Tail has that problem too.
I'm almost done with Phantom. Yeah they completely lost their focus but it's still entertaining. haha zwei turned into a pimp I call him swagmasta because of his theme song. Oh it'll getmore OVA's? That's exciting! yeah kokoro connect is a hit or miss. Yeah Rainbow is one of those obscure anime not many people know about haha. Railgun was overall more entertaining for me. Yeah! I'm excited for season 2! :D

yeah i'll probably end up being comfortable with older animation. yeah episodic anime aren't really my cup of tea.

yeah durarara!! lacked in the thrill but i loved durarara!! for its twists and kida masaomi ahhaha

From your local library? Wow, that must have been some weird library. I can't imagine mine having any horror manga (it's mainly Naruto and ones I don't really care for). I haven't seen Gyo yet, but it's in my plan to watch. I've been wanting to see the Tomie films though, and would love for it to have an anime adaption, but I doubt it'll happen. I watched an interview recently about the whole idea for Uzumaki and it's another one of my favorites. I'm definitely going to watch it again! I think almost any anime from that time has it's faults but I still play the opening from time to time.

verlitas | 03-16-13, 12:52 PM
It's from Junji Ito's Tomie. It's horror, like all of his works are, but his art is very pleasing to the eyes nonetheless. Haha thank you! I used to watch it when I was younger and just remembered about it a couple of days ago. I see you have Kanashimi no Belladonna, saw a few snippets a while back and the art is gorgeous.

timebourne | 03-12-13, 10:05 PM
I really don't like watching airing series (I couldn't resist Magi because I was pressured into it) because I'm not very good with airing series it feels too...I don't know how to explain it...Fairy Tail I wasn't very hesitant because it was already 140+ episodes, so by the time I caught up it would be much further ahead. I kinda veered off of Fairy Tail because I saw it's going to "end" (I'm assuming that the manga just has to get further ahead because the anime caught up), so I'll wait for the second season to start up. Also because Fairy Tail has a lot of elements that really irritate me(like having dark character backgrounds but the characters are super naive and happy-go-lucky). I'll continue later. Magi, I'm waiting for it to have more episodes haha so I'm currently mainly watching Phantom. I love it so far it's really great. It reminds me a lot of like the lovechild of Black Lagoon and Darker than Black, but it's also unique. The dialogue has been great so far.

Angel Beats was entertaining but it wasn't all the praise I'd heard it to be.

Wow someone who's seen Breakblade, you're the first one I've come across to see it. It started off kind of weak but it got better as it progressed and I agree the animation was rather nice.

Yes! Fate/Zero was a fantastic anime it was amazing. It also was even better when you think about it based on the events in Fate/Stay Night and how they weaved them together. I'm still not over it hahaha

Kokoro Connect haha I can see that. It was rather interesting I was kind of surprised. It wasn't as bad as K-On! so points there :) (I mainly liked it for 1 character because the character was well written and also my favorite seiyuu voiced her).

You've seen Rainbow too? Another first for me to come across. It really is a fantastic anime because of how raw it was (I mean a bit was cheesy but the brunt of it was very very harsh). It was tough to get through at first but it was such a great ride to go along with them as they plowed toward their dreams. Even though most of it was sad it was uplifting.

Index - it was pretty close to a "meh" in my opinion. It had a lot of potential but kind of went nowhere. Also my expectation of it was high because I had seen the side series Kagaku no Railgun (that's mainly about Misaka) before I watched the original series (I was kind of confused on which came first) which had a much more well written and intriguing plotline. And the animation was better. It does get the points for the interesting world though.

Outlaw Star - yeah I heard it was fantastic, I'm currently trying to get over my vexing curse of my incompatibility with older style animation. I watched Cowboy Bebop which means there's hope hahah (I was disappointed with Cowboy Bebop, it is kinda overrated. It went nowhere?)


I was debating giving Kino's Journey another try but I don't think it's my cup of tea.

Oh I have Baccano specials in my PTW Baccano scored a 10 on my completed (Maybe it slipped past you :)) I love it. It has the most unique story-telling style and an amazing cast and the plot is rather intricate and very engaging. Everything about it is intriguing and entertaining and of quality. Even from the OST, the opening, the voice acting, and the animation. I really don't like dubbed, but I watched this one in dubbed and they pulled it off fantastically. I watched the first 7ish episodes in sub and it was great too.

You're talking about relating to characters

While I was arguing about the writing and how Clannad is not dues ex machina.


I'm not a fan of CG, so admittedly, there is hostility between me and their kind, especially if they are spreading "CG the best" when I find the story objectively bad.

Again, that was my mistake.

AirStyles | 03-05-13, 3:08 AM
Defending something like Clannad?
Please elaborate on "something like Clannad" part, I think I'm sensing some hostility toward the show.

If you're talking about my forum post with Lindle... Defending? No, that's not what I'm doing.

I'm merely "educating" the guy. So that he won't embarass himself by calling Clannad ending Deus Ex Machina in the future. Seeing his list, he probably prided himself as a "smart" fan and take pleasure in calling bad shows bad to stroke his own ego... So I'm reminding him that he need to do his homework.

Otherwise, he may end up leaving an argument like in that topic, saying meaningless stuff and backing out "It made sense by it's still bad". His intention of telling Clannad fans that Clannad suck, turn into a sight of a sorry person who's bad at viewing trying to make an argument and loss. In the end, a sucker punch, an injured dog limping home.

... I think I went too far, but oh wellz.

If you mean the post toward you. That was my mistake, I assumed that you're a CG fan. And CG have more holes than Swiss cheese.
