Escafarc Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? How was it? I give it a B-. The Acting is weak and the ending was lacking but as a adventure seed not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I just returned to a personal favorite -- Azumanga Daioh, probably on reflection my very favorite anime series. No overweening plotline or extravagant action is to be had here. What is to be had is a celebration of life and youth. "Ordinary" high school life as viewed from the perspective of six girls who are anything but ordinary. The episode I watched tonight was told entirely from the point of view of Chiyo, an eleven-year old prodigy attending (and excelling in) high school, and is in large part about how she balances childhood and life as a high school student. IT is also about how she relates to her friends -- quiet and statuesque Sakaki, boisterous Tomo and her serious friend Yomi, and the different-thinking girl known to most as "Osaka" (so called because that's where she came from -- nobody uses her real name anymore). Funny, true and frequently moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I'll admit I never could get into the Azumanga Daioh anime, but loved the manga. I don't care if it's about 6 teenaged girls in Japanese high school... I could easily recognize elements of my own high school experiences in there. Oh, and saw episode 3 of Legend of Korra.

Susano Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I haven't seen any of that series yet. How is it? Korra takes the world of Avatar (the Last Airbender) and pushes it into a 1920-30s styled pulp setting. So you have cars, radio, basic television, bending tournaments, Triads, monks, martial arts.... basically an RPG screaming to happen. So far, it's been pretty damn cool.

MisterVimes Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Last night we watched the Shadow serial "Behind the Mask" which was sub-par considering that is had Kane Richmond (Spy Smasher, Brick Bradford) in it. And we watched some Charlie Chan.
