I tried watching CANAAN, but it's a pile of crap. So, instead, I started watching Bakemonogatari, and I feel I made the right decision.

At the very least, three episodes in there's a fairly well animated fight scene between a high schooler and a elementary schoolgirl in which the schoolgirl is judo-slammed into the ground.

I'm browsing from Canada, and the only videos that don't show for me (from the available playlists) are the Gundam 00 episodes, both subbed and dubbed.  By sticking the URL from sei's post into the text box on this page, I was able to hide my filthy foreign-ness.

If you're actually hitting an age restriction, then sign up for a Youtube account and tell them how old you are (or lie about your age).

I'm sick of having to enter dates or register.  They need a checkbox that says, "Fuck off, youtube.  I'm old enough for titties," which persists even without an account.

Sei discovers that lying is hard.

Thanks for finding that for us.

You are known to make discoveries which seem obvious in hindsight. Like gravity, inertia, and set theory.

I have finished the monster that is the Legend of Galactic Heroes :victory:

That took a little over year of on and off watching, which is less then I suspected.

There has to be a plot hole somewhere in that 110 episodes series but overall I just feel...uh...that it was good?

The show presents itself as a historical drama (in SPAAACE) and comes across as just that, albeit with better characterization. There were never any, well, "anime" moments for the lack of a better term. Hell, there weren't any contrived wtf moments like in nBSG either. I don't remember any breaks of immersion beyond pausing because the subs went too fast (in my opinion).

Central Anime did an amazing job on this, by the way. I judge this based on no twitch worthy grammar, my incoherent memories of it being good, and that I actually had to look up a word some well-read character used. Although apparently the names were a bit off? Minci instead of the correct Mintz, for example. At least with the subtitles I had.

There are a bajillion characters, but the director remembers this is based on a series of novels, so every time a character shows up in an individual episode he gets a little Galactic Emperor/Rudolf IV or whatever. This is less annoying and more of a godsend. It does go away with very frequent characters eventually because introducing a lead over and over again would be silly.

This is also very, very, very helpful if you're not going to marathon it, needless to say.

The plot itself starts off with a skirmish between the Free Planets Alliance and the Galactic Empire and their century long war over the dominance of space. It's 110 episodes, as I said, so the plot is huuuuuuuge. It semi-regularly has characters talking about philosophy (most frequently: democracy vs. autocracy), tactics, and political truisms. This works, and is generally done by characters and in settings when people would talk like that. They, of course, talk about other things. The ones who aren't all business, anyway.

Also it has battleships blasting each other with minimal use of fighters, as a proper space battle would be.

Anyway, to summarize, you should really, really watch it. The first..6-10 episodes I'd say. The first two introduce you to their take on space combat and the rest summarize the setting and how the show general does things.

(I also finished Elfen Lied recently, which was okay I guess, and nothing really to say beyond :attn::sadpanda:)

Even I think about getting copies of that somehow someday and watching. And I don't seem to watch any Anime anymore at all (this is not intentional).

I have begun to watch Net Ghosts PiPoPa. Atlus Online has been putting up crazy amounts of anime that you can stream and watch. This got added recently and I decided to watch.

So I've finally got around to watching Higurashi and just got done with episode 13. The ending made me scream at how unfulfilling it was. Not to mention [spoiler]there was no way for her to push him off the bridge. He even said, "What the hell is this shit?"[/spoiler]

Anyway, I don't like the show too much, but I keep watching it for Ooishi. Every time I don't think he can get cooler, he tops himself. The scene where [spoiler]he and his JUDO COPS made that dipshit Keiichi dig a hole[/spoiler] had me almost shaking with glee.

Are you talking about [spoiler]the same little girl that pushed Keiichi halfway across a classroom[/spoiler]?
