| Ok so far I've got: Dennou Coil - from zhou ofc Tokyo Magnitude - from Junaid Speaking of which, we need to get those people to sign up. I'm especially interested in seeing Junaid's vast list. |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| I watched Dennou Coil which was recommended by Zhou, and it was an excellent series, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was slightly sillier in places than I felt it needed to be, but was other was a good watch. Then there was Revolutionary Girl Utena, which from all the hype was thoroughly disappointing. It wasn't a bad show exactly, but I found large portions of the characters dull, some of the scenes were far too repetitive (the duels for example), and it tried far too hard at pretending to have a plot. |
| lol do you think people who join up will be more careful about recommending series now, in case they get -ve points for bad recommendation? :P |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| Nah, I won't let that stop me. Anybody looking for a bit of action with some comedy should check out Cowboy Bebop. People should also check out Fruits Basket for an interesting slice of life/comedy show. (I suspect I might lose some points for this one) |
| one of the few series i've ever watched on a recommendation was Astro Fighter Sunred, courtesy of Duncan - and i found it to be exactly the sort of heartwarming, non-pandering slice-of-life comedy that i enjoy. the same story applies to jagainu-kun/dogtato. i guess the problem is that i rarely accept recs. :p (also, it's a lot easier to say things about anime you haven't watched but know a bit about, like "i bet kajia will dislike Kanon"/"i bet mike will like Saikano" than actually rec things to someone with incompatible tastes.) |
| lol, I actually have the Saikano DVDs lying around here, I've been meaning to get around to starting it again for a while :p |
| saikano... ugh.... does recs that make it to next year's lineup count? If it does, I call dibs on Planetes (assuming it makes it on the final lineup ofc)! :P |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| i give kajia +1 for planetes! :D and duncan +1 for gits, by that logic. on the other hand, i'm calling dibs on h&c this year. >_> |
| Not the best of ideas, especially considering who started this topic. |
| Chaos |
| lol I think H&C was generally well received by the society... just Alun who hated it. It's currently on a 7 for me (though I still think Nodame Cantibile >> Honey and Clover... at least so far). Also, wasn't it Corwin who was the main culprit recommending it? I think Janice merely seconded it. If we're counting this year, we also need to bear in mind: Eden of the East - Alexei Boogiepop - Jonathon and myself Seto - Ben Gurren Lagann - er... everyone? Also, how much do you have to like it to get +ve points? Or should it be based on differences between how much a series is hyped up to compared to how good people actually found it? For example with utena (I wasn't one of the rabid followers of Utena btw, though I was the one who suggested we should show it that year :P), Mike didn't think it was a bad show, but it was hyped up to be like 10 by several very vocal people :P Or am I thinking about this too much lol. |

| How about we settle on getting points if you think its good enough to recommend to some one else? |
| also... surely you would get more points if the society liked it as a whole? Duncan should probably get about 5 points considering how everyone's loving Gits Whatever system we're using, I think we can clearly see who's in the lead atm at least :P |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| Eden of the east is done already, so I think we can pass judgement upon it now :P You're right that it's difficult to judge the reactions of the group unless it's overwhelmingly positive (Gits/Genshiken/Baccano/Trigun comes to mind from the last couple of years) I think people liked it in general, but I can't help but feel it under performed when measured against the high praise Junaid and Alexei were showering upon it last year... I've no idea what I would recommend to Alun. His scoring pattern is so bizarre I can't even begin to guess what he would like :P |

| For Alun I think the best trick is never to recommend slice of life. I really liked Eden Of The East (and the first movie, I really want the second one now) I think most people (not Alun apparently) quite liked it, so it certainly isn't going to earn negative points. |
| Yeah I've gathered his dislike for slice of life, I just can't think of anything he's likely to like. I kind of feel any anime has a good chance of ending up anywhere on that 1-10 scale (apart from slice of life, which will probably fall into the lower half). |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| Other than my prior recommendation of the 2nd Gurren Lagann film I can't think of anything to recommend to him either. Except Cowboy Bebop, but that's already on his plan to watch list. |
| I take the blame for the presence of Hetalia at the OAV, yes. And I share everyone's problem re: determining Alun's tastes. Maybe that's the true test of RS: recommending something Alun will like. :p Based on his liking of GL and Excel Saga, maybe FLCL would be a good idea? Or is that too WTFish... As for H&C, Kajia's probably right that Corwin was responsible. It's a similar story with Natsume Yuujinchou - I loved it but thought the OAV wouldn't. Apparently not. |
| lol looking at that list, Duncan appear to be predicting Alun's taste with unerring accuracy :P |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| I just remembered corwin recommended Bartender. Well actually I don't know if it counts as a recommendation. He didn't exactly directly recommend it to me. He was just talking about it at G&D's, and I liked what I heard so decided to put it on my to watch list... in fact he basically just said that it was a slice of life in which nothing ever happens, and that was enough to make me want to watch it. Does that count?! |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| no.... I haven't watched it yet. But I plan to :D Also, I just remembered another slice of life recommendation, this time it definitely counts as a recommendation: Astro Fighter Sunred - recommended by Duncan. |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| Since they won't be here next year, I recommend Planetes, Nodame Cantibile and Paradise Kiss to Duncan, Janice and Corwin... but not to Alun :P (just jumping on the getting-cheap-points-from-reccing-slice-of-life bandwagon :D) |

| Paradise Kiss has actually been pretty good so far. |
| wait, why is duncan's astro fighters sunred rec to me in the plus points region already? I haven't watched it yet, and though I suspect I will like it, lets not jump to any hasty conclusions :p |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| My personal opinion on the OAV recs: - minus points for hetalia (not into this kind of comedy, sorry :P) - neutral for Eden (I liked it... but it didn't do enough to provoke fanboyish gushing reactions from me :P) Jury still out for the rest of the things we're showing this year. PS wasn't Janice's rec for Hetalia last year's showing? I thought we're only including things starting this year. |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| What about the following, written by you: MINUS POINTS Everyone - Utena to MikeP PS I didn't recommend eva or utena!! :P PPS Update: after seeing NHK on duncan's plan to watch list, I asked him about that and he said I'm definitely one of the people responsible for getting him to watch it :D |
| Take off every SIG!! |
| Is that negative points to everyone for the Evangelion series or Rebuild which we went to see? Because most of us agreed that the movie animated the dullest part of the series, with less character development than the series had. |
| who? |
