I missed this post. Vote Beem!

Must have been watching Nodame. :mrgreen:


OT: Just finished up the 18 eps of Aim FOr the Ace that I had. Sorry there arent moe available. :(
THe whole very stylized, often abstract, artwork combined with a 70's feel really was appealing.
Much better than the live action with Aya. ;)

Well, it does stagnate a bit around ep 70 but it paces up again the last 10 episodes and ends up nicely.
Maison and Kimagure are often compared but see I Maison as the more mature of the two and somehow timeless, while Kimagure is stuck in the 80s.

Oh, now that I remember, I still have Versailles no Bara... :mrgreen:

Haven't seen Versailles. Legend of galactic heroes is another one of those classics i liked. I wonder if they'll reintroduce that again. Would be nice to watch it in better animation

Almost a year will have passed since I did start being really into animes. I figured out I had that way last year October, just when I was fond of staring at each scene from K-On with all of my thoughts like who made wonderful actions, who did character voices, and who made these scenes. That gave me a LOT of tips as well to have fun watching more pieces. I clearly know K-On is now coming to an end, sadly plus they don't say it will be back again. I heard them yesterday on TV say next time I see K-On members it will be a real ending, I mean bye-bye for a piece that made my 2nd life as an otaku. Now I can enjoy all genres from the late 60's through 2010's. :puppydog:

Watching Touch at the moment.
I saw the live action movie recently and it was so bad I now need to wash it away with the real thing.

The anime is really good. Felt long in the middle but the last 10-20 episodes are great. :thumbsup:

Youve been watching some really great classics this summer. Youch was terrific and I adored KOR. And the datedness (can I use this word?) of it. MAison I didnt finish but I enjoyed what I did watch about 60+ eps. Rumiko Takahashi is a huge favorite of mine. Her URusei Yatsura was the first really long series to get me hooked back in the early 90's. Now Im dating myself... :sweat: :beaten:

Did you finish ever Rose Of Versaille? I just finished up with Glass Mask again. Wonderful group who did this group of series. :victory:

haha. i know what you mean. rarely can a live-action show really capture the original anime. i felt nodame cantabile did a good job, though. but that's a rarity...

currently watching moribito. balsa kicks butt!!! :metaldevil:

Yup.

A great production staff, director, writer, and cast... Definitely a rarity.
