Anime appreciation thread~!

Dubbed, at least the first two so far anyway.

No clue when 4.0 will be out though, Hideaki Anno is currently busy working on Toho's new Godzilla movie.  I heard that Death & Rebirth was pretty pointless, but I found a copy of the box set that has both that and End, so I just got that.  After I'm done with those, I'll probably pick up the newer releases.  I wanted to see the original first, though. Just finished Code Geass R2 and wow, what an ending.  I thought towards the end that Lelouch was going down the same path as Light from Death Note.  Basically, just power hungry and pretty much forgetting why they both started out doing what they did, but the last 5 minutes completely erased that thought.

I think I've seen Death and Rebirth but I can't remember, End of Evangelion does such a good job rounding out the series that I've never had the inclination to go back and look for D&R. Probably a good idea to start with the original series, the first film is almost just a straight up retelling of the first 6 or so episodes of the anime without much change, but the second film on starts changing things quite a bit.

Code Geass is up there with Steins;Gate as my two favourite anime series and that ending has a lot to do with it. Are you going to watch the Akito the Exiled OVA's, set between the first and second seasons? I thought the first two episodes where really good but the much delayed third episode was pretty bad IMO and I haven't even bothered to look for a release date on the 4th eps DVD/Blu-Ray.

I really need to watch that second End of Evangelion movie.

Nagisa was kind of indistinct in the foil of unique characters she had (aside from Ryou). I couldn't quite put together Nagisa's and Tomoya's disparate personalities, or, rather, the series didn't really clarify what they liked about one another, just that their flaws weren't offensive to the other. And when they were finally together (which happened too soon after that play and Nagisa's emotional breakdown), the writers' tried too hard to make them a "cute" couple, an effort that eventually just made their relationship feel just a little meaningless. The summer episode was kind of tedious. It was just hard to empathize with that aspect of the show. The final episode in an alternate universe where Tomoya and Tomoyo were dating, even though it was fan-ship fodder, was a lot better handled AND they actually gave Tomoya an actual character crisis. He didn't really get much of that during the series.

Yea i've heard the main characters's dialogues are quite interesting. 

I've heard After Story is better. I'll probably start it sometime today.

My airing shows will be ending soon, and i've been really pleased with them:

About halfway through the second season.
