*ish glad he grew up with the classic turtles*

Come one day imma sell all those ninja turtle action figures and come up big bucks youll see…itll be worth it.

That aside, thanks much for the post…i was wondering which of the new seasons anime i should check out or not..ones that ive seen on my own people have already mentioned, honorably or not xD

watching: bokurano, hitohira, gigantic formula, lovcom and hayate combat butler obviously..

Don’t recommend kaze no stigma, the shana wannabe girl doesnt sit well with me *stabs*…also i want to see RxJ just because anime style Shakespeare sounds kinda interesting.

Also I saw Touka Gettan, and I noticed on anidb that the parent story is this one h-anime Faceless Moon…or Moonlight Lady out here. Guess I just have to wait to find out what the hell could possibly be the relation between the two…until then, signing out…^^

Nice job, Yuribou! And boo to everyone just complaining – that’s a great resource, right there!

Rocket, you’ve just sold Rocket Girls to me. Wasn’t even considering looking it up until now. Heading to d/l…

Other stuff – Hayate is actually rather good fun. Not blow-your-socks-off awesome, but a good watch.

Nagasarete Airantou – I’m loving, but just because of Akane. Whoever decided to cast Ichigo Mashimaro’s Chika as a slightly insane, revenge-obsessed shrine maiden did a wonderful wonderful thing.

Romeo x Juliet – Hardly anything to do with Shakespeare’s play (aside from the names and the basic romantic entanglement), but is great. Love the sword-wielding Juliet.

El Cazador de whatsit – Underwhelming. Liked Noir, was annoyed by Madlax… not sure I’m going to have the patience for this one.

Sky Girls was the loli-tacular Mecha Masamune inspired OAV that came out last year. Cute girls, catgirl plugsuits, nice destroyer, semi-cool mecha, generic monsters, retarded action, and a romantic b-plot that is illegal in most industrialized nations.

Rocket Girls id Honiamase (or the Right Stuff) crossed with Kiki’s Delivery Service (or Kamichu sans the magic). A relatively realistic portrayal of a manned space program, only the astronauts are teenage Japanese girls – see my site for slightly more plot detail. Since there are no teenage boys on the island, there really is only one other place for (age appropriate) romantic complications! ^_^

…good luck with Touka Gettan…the only chance you’ll ever get to understanding it is if you watch the whole thing…if even then…commit or just give up…

…El Cazador de la Bruja is made by the people who made Noir and Madlaxative…they are completely horrible at depicting yuri relations and subtexts in a satisfying way…prepare to be frustrated…

…DARKER THAN GGOTH is the most pretentious pile of steaming scat to come this way in a while now…I’d avoid it…

…Kaze no Stigma…ENOUGH ALREADY PEOPLE!!!…the 1st episode had me wanting to smash my fist repeatedly into the faces of everyone of the introduced characters…and wind trump fire…the only thing I can say is that although the show is a girl with sword whore…at least it isn’t another katana…

…so ninja referances are censored in England are they…I wish they did that here in the States…

None of them suit to my taste.

I better sticks to the older ones.

Although I’m sure I’ll disagree with most of Yuribou’s opinions, I do appreciate putting all these links in one place. Thanks.

Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles, what a crack up. I feel bad for all the British children robbed of the true NINJA power =)

Yuribou, you should really give a try to bokurano. I’ve read manga, and its really awesome stuff – its more psycho than mecha.. only flaw is that pilots are 13yo teens, because later in series they will have problems like sexual abuse, killing and such.. definitely worth watching, if you like psychodramas :)

(didnt saw anime yet, though i clicked trough chinese sub of first ep..)

Is that not “Sky Girls” as subbed by Ryoumi? Or am I thinking of a different series?

By: rocket

rocket — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 05:14:47 +0000

Wow, nice job!

Tho’ now I think I just had to add a few more to my queue… ;_;

I’ve only seen the first 3 minutes of Engage Planet but that opening scene was quite brilliant IMO. Bokurano also does look good to me, but I’m quite happy to have world saved by kids in robots – who else has the reflexes after all?

You might check out Rocket Girls – with three space cadets (pun intended) there’s at least a possibility of Yuri!

When will they make “Super Mecha Loli Orgy the Animation”? the 26-episode of pure mecha action powered by loli-tetacle-blowjob-titjob-footjob-enema-lightbondage-yuri-rape-watersports-guro-scat-furry-futanari-vore-moemoe-goodness???
With Mother Suiseiseki and Gin-chan’s loli yuri love as protagonists?
It will be instant win..
Instant will I tell you >:3

Lol, I log on later to find that all the comments were just corrections to what I’ve said…

I apologise for the misquoting for TMHT – It was something that went uncorrected in my childhood…

Also, thank you Hinano – I shall still watch Kamichama Karin though, just for the cuteness overload.

Thank you for the various FYIs

heh – was that sarcasm tman? cos everyone knows the world loves yuri, almost as much as it loves loli. and good is almost always synonymous with boring.

As for RomeoxJuliet – well I want to watch it, so Yuribou may well watch at least an episode.

boo – no we havent seen first episodes for most of these shows yet, we are just judging the proverbial book by its cover.

Koutetsu Sankokushi. That “scary woman with brush on her head” is actually a guy. Sun Quan to be exact. The “white-haired-enemy-who-always-looks-smug” is Zhuge Liang and the protagonist is Lu Xun… in short its ROTK on crack. ^_^ Tough I’m surprised aarinfantasy are not the ones subbing it.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were only known as Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles in the UK because of the stupid, stupid, STUPID regulations that put a ban on everything Ninja related.
They even had to edit out the nunchuks.

I blame Thatcher.

Bokurano is based on an extremely dark (and rather good) manga, so IMHO it deserves a little watching just to see how much of it they can get away with on broadcast TV… Yuri potential is a big zero, though.

As for Romeo x Juliet, if you’re looking for an accurate retelling of Shakespeare then run, don’t walk. In spite of that, so far it’s been by far the most entertaining show of the season. Seriously. (Of course, Gonzo may still do their usual botched ending, but you can’t have it all.)

I hate to disappoint you…but there is no yuri in Kamichama Karin….despite the fact that Himeka somewhat resembles Tomoyo :P
