This Arc of Haruhi Will Spoil Anime!

Haven’t been here in awhile. Basically I hated this arc, 8 WASTED episodes on the same content. This kinda killed anime for me for awhile and I’m sorta back, i still have a steady social life that I need to take care of, so basically this is the last of the posts for “Endless Eight” I was gonna get screenies form all n stuff but never-mind. Soon I’ll get back into this more for now enjoy the screenies I took like months ago.

Anime Dreamer: Reminiscing – NANA, Honey & Clover

Senseito — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:05:12 +0000

In my short time watching anime, about 2 and a half years now, and having seen over 100 titles, and still not seen some of the animes people rave about (Samurai Champloo, Fullmetal Alchemist, Code Geass, Death Note) and that probably because of my inclination to look away from the serious theme. I love romance, drama and comedy and recently I’ve been thinking, and looking back at some of the series I hold as truly special moments in my time watching anime.

Two titles that have come to mind as of late are NANA & Honey and Clover.

Now I think its a given that fanservice anime (K-on! included ;P) dominate the majority of anime chit-chat with the exception of some of the more popular serious anime, like Code Geass; but for those inclined to look at these more “mature” anime I think they deserve more attention than they get.

NANA, for example, is the story of two girls who happen to have the same name, and bump into each other on their way to Tokyo, and that’s the beginning of a 47 Episode rollercoaster ride of a story choc full of Drama, Romance and Music as their lives unfold to the reality of our world not often considered with animes out of this more adult-orientated genre.

Same goes for Honey & Clover with its very distinct animation style that eventually makes it really unique from the usual offerings, and its refreshing. The story about a girl who is introduced to two guys who instantly fall in love with her, but she isn’t the protagonist. The story goes down many paths about their feelings, and the decisions they are making in life to make it what it is, as students in an art college in Tokyo, it goes through a different, enthralling wave of thoughts as the stories of their lives, and maturity for some, become reality. And this happens over the course of 2 Seasons, of which their time is captured perfectly.

So in both cases we have mature or coming-of-age, much more down to our earth stories.

What makes them both special, I think, is how much you can relate to them. A bond, even, as you watch these anime that are indeed superior in length to an extent you get to know all the of the people involved in these stories and do get caught up in their lives – and that’s a story-writers success – to engage the person as they take you through the story.

So while I reminisce, and see many stories go by season by season, I will say, treasure the stories you hold dearest, because I’m sure even with your own favorites, that are distinct from the others through your eyes, its worth remembering how they made you think differently, how they did effect you in some way or other, and you know its worth looking back at these stories more than once because you know its a time spent that was really worth it.

I’ll watch these again, and make sure I’ll never forget them and perhaps you’ll pass along a treasure to someone you know as well.

epdemon — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:18:25 +0000

Wow, better late than never I guess. The staff at Animeted have been so busy with the site that some of us had to take a break while others of us had to focus on real life stuff. Anyhows, I’m back with two more anime vintages. It’s surprising to see that only two has spawned since our last post. Anyways, ehre we go.

Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari Episode 07

#7 out of this 13 episode series of Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari has been aired on the Animax PPV Channel on September 18, 2009 at 04:00 in the morning. (?)

The story is set in an alternate world called Geminar, where countrieshave fought endless wars with replicas of humanoid Seikishi weaponsthat they found in ancient ruins. 15-year-old Kenshi Masaki, thehalf-brother of Tenchi Muyo! protagonist Tenchi Masaki, is summonedfrom another world to Geminar.

Synopsis From : GalAnime.com

This is as clean as it gets.

Queen’s Blade: Gyokuza wo Tsugumono

The other vintage we have is Queen’s Blade: Gyoku za wo Tsugumono. Premiering on September 24 on the AT-X channel, this one is a mix of action and ecchi. Something that everyone wants right? This sequel continues from the previous Queen’s blade season that aired earlier in the year. If you’re familiar with the story, then all the action and topless girls should be little of a problem for you.

PZ-Subs already has episode 1 available. If you want to take a gander at it for yourself, check it below.
