Anime Brigade: We all have 8th grade syndrome~

[TheoreticalSelkie]

On subject of FSNUBW... Lancerbro is on par with Broskandar. Not going to lie here, I love them both.

And since I'm here, I'm going to drop this site: BIRTHDAYS. It's a website where you can look up your birthday and see which anime characters you share them with. If you want to look up by date, the green button at the top will be the option you want.

I'm also watching Kekkai Sensen and Stardust Crusaders, and I feel like Kekkai Sensen might edge out FSN for me just on how plain awesome the show is. And I'm the Nasuverse nerd here, SERIOUSLY. Jojo is great as usual, but I need to catch up on the final arc. Soon... we will see the end. Soon. But I don't want it to come Q__Q

Lupin III never :(

Alexander the Great will always be my favorite.

Spoiler:

The episode that he died in is actually my favorite number, 23. They also read my favorite Bible verse at the end, Psalms 23. It's also the only episode that I cried during for the entire Fate series things I've watched. I mean he finally got to hear the ocean right as he died! TALK ABOUT THE FEELS!!

But FSN Lancer does come in a close second. While he doesn't play much of a role in the original FSN, he's very important in FSNUB. Plus the amount of sass coming from him is just funny. I mean come on, how can you not like a guy who admits he has an ulterior motive, punches a guy then sarcastically says that it was an accident, and then comments in his last words "Come see me when you're older." HOW CAN SOMEONE NOT LOVE SOMEONE THAT SASSY!! Honor wise I think FZ Lancer is better but if you're arguing who is the sassiest, FSN Lancer takes the cake and the cookies. Man he takes the whole freaking party. Ok, rant done.

Ok, I actually haven't watched Stardust Crusaders, on my list, but I'm trying to finish some other shows that I've started on first. But Kekkai Sensen is hilarious. It's like Baccano and Durarara had a baby. It's a great plot with a lot of confusing twists and turns with enough humor to keep you going. It also helped that the instant I heard Klaus talk in the sub the first time I recognized his voice actor to be the same guy who voices Kiritsugu in the Fate series, but that wasn't what I came for, it was just a bonus.

On a side note, I'm about to finish the Sacred Blacksmith. It seems like it has too much plot to only have 12 episodes but I thought the same thing about Mekakucity Actors and they wrapped up that anime quite nicely. I hope the same for the Sacred Blacksmith. Though, I have to warn you, if you're not tolerant of fan service don't watch it. They actually have boob comparing scenes in episode 8 I think. Though if you've watch High school of the Dead then you should be fine.

Kekkai Sensen is like "wow dammit NIGHTOW YOU"RE BACK". I literally started watching it, then I found out that Kekkai Sensen was written and drawn by Nightow, who did the Trigun series and NOW I'M JUST WHAT THIS IS GREAT. Because I'm a huge Trigun nerd. That's fun stuff.

In either case, yeah I really like the nonlinear plot of KS, it's tied together by some really good worldbuilding in that weird New York there (have you seen the food episode yet IT'S GREAT). I heard that a lot of the cast are VAs from Gintama so some people can't unhear those interactions heheh. Never got around to Gintama myself so I can't attest to that claim.

Lancer is awesome. If you want to hear more sass, after you finish FSN, you should watch some of Carnival Phantasm. Lancer is practically a meme there :P

For Stardust Crusaders, it's the third arc in the Jojo series, so if you haven't watched Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency (the previous seasons) you should get on that before you start Stardust Crusaders because those two seasons have the context for what happens in SC.

[Noblejanobii]

Well I'm glad you're excited about that. I have to agree on that even though I'm not much of a nerd for artists and such as I am for voice actors.

I haven't watched Gintama either. My best friend has though and the look on her face when we watched some of the episodes was pretty funny so I guess it must be pretty funny.

Adding it to the list.

Ah ok, I should go do that.

UBW Lancer is so hot. *~*

Kekkai Sensen is like my top contender for Anime of the Year. Anyone who disagrees can have their flesh smashed to a pulp and made into Heinz ketchup. XD

Btw you're all welcome.

[Noblejanobii]

Personally I think Gilgamesh is the sexiest of the whole lot but since his ego could swallow their earth I'd rather take FZ Lancer. I don't know if it's his love spot (which if you researched his backstory you'd know was actually placed in the wrong location when they made the anime) or his sense of honor, but I think FZ Lancer is my preference to FSN Lancer. Unless it comes to being sassy, in which case, I reiterate my previous point, FSN Lancer takes the whole party.

Still think FSNUB is better but Kekkai Sensen is great. I'll catch up on it and FSNUB when I finished the Sacred Blacksmith.

For… what exactly?

[Ganyu]

For telling everyone here about it. :P

Gilgamesh isn't my type. Plus he's overrated; literally every fan girl is obsessed over him. UBW doesn't wow me, probably 'cause I've watched FZ and it just set the bar high for the series. It's good but not great, IMO. (Considering that I've never experienced the VNs, I'm quite lenient.) Kekkai Sensen is refreshing, "Blink and you'll miss it" type of crazy, and completely unexpected which is what makes it a good contender in my eyes. Sadly I think having 12 episodes undermines it as it is being an anime-exclusive arc.

[Homura]

Things I'm watching:

Plastic Memories: Totally about a guy who collects anime figures of his waifus. :3
Arslan Senki: It's not drawn by the FMA mangaka, and not about war and politics and stuff. Ya~
Gintama: Not at all funny.

Things I'm intending to watch:
UBW because Shirou is a smart character
Kekkai Sensen: I don't think this anime takes place in New York.
Nagato-chan: Because robots are cool.

That's all~

[Dragon Master Mike]

I'm currently watching F/SN, Kekkai Sensen, and Durarara, and I like them all so much I can't decide which I like more. I'd probably place F/SN just above Kekkai Sensen just because I LOVE action anime where the protagonist is at a clear disadvantage (Shirou, at least until the past couple of episodes) but overcomes that disadvantage due to their sheer amount of badassery. Durarara is probably slightly above F/SN, especially after the episode I just watched where it basically broke me.

Durarara spoilers:

Spoiler:

The episode where we find out who the Saika "Mother" is, but it turns out Sunohara has the real original Saika. I was so mad I didn't notice the connection between the saika "mother"s name (which I can't remember) and the reporters name. That she was the reporters daughter.

As for what you were saying about F/SN Lancer, F/SN Lancer is like, awesome. I haven't seen F/Z yet though so I can't say whether or not F/Z Lancer is more awesome.

@Ghostwriter

You have a point. But I don't obsess over Gilgamesh since Iskander is probably my favorite character overall. I just think Gilgamesh is sexy. I feel like UBW is living up to was FZ set the bar for. It's doing great and it's really expanding upon what the original movie could not. Like after the first UBW movie, I still wasn't sure who Archer was. It was more openly hinted at but it took my friend telling me and pointing out all the clues for me to actually figure it out. Here, there's no question who he is.
@Dragon Master Mike
I actually don't like Shirou for whatever reason. Though I usually prefer the servants to the masters anyway but most of the people I know who like the Fate series love Shirou and I've just never found him that appealing. Taiga is probably my favorite non-servant character if I'm honest. Though I will admit, Ufotable has done a fantastic job on giving me a new character to hate with each season. Though no one will be able to get to Kirei Kotomine's level on the amount of hatred I have for him, Shinji got VERY close.

Oh and just wait Mike, it gets much worse.
