Bakemonogatari has taken a rather boring turn the past 2 weeks, the last 2 episodes were alsmost annoying, mainly because of the new character for the "mini arc" being an annoying little crying girl of the "Onii Chan" at the end of every damn sentance variety which seriousely grinds at the inside of my skull.

I have never seen Bakemonogatari but it sounds like the staple of any anime that involves romance. The Cockblocker, usually in the form of a little girl with a highly annoying voice that's normally the little sister of the lead girl, who is suddenly and out of the blue introduced several episodes into the story. It's a ******* clique that I’m totally sick of now. One of the many reasons i like Spice and Wolf.

Well you clearly have no idea, what so ever, what the series is about and you have just proven yourself arrogant and opinionated, well done.

What you posted isn't even close to being close, something 2 minutes of reading the wikipedia page would have told you.

huh? ... I've seen up to epsiode 9 so far and thought it was reasonably straight forward so far ....

It was at that point but without spoiling anything i just thought that it went off on a bit of a tangent in the latter half of the series without explaining things very well at all.

Meh, I was just saying how wrong you are, you were the first to go off on one at a show you have never seen or read anything about.

robgmun · 15 Sep 2009 at 12:20

it was a general stab at all anime clique that your comment reminded me off.

How can something you've never seen remind you of anything?

Also do you actualy mean Clique or Cliché?

Sankari · 15 Sep 2009 at 12:32

Or Clinique?

Trust me, you're the one in error here.

To be honest, i've read the blub a little while ago, it doesn't appeal to me right now. If the season finishes and people are still going on about it then i'll check it out.

It's ok, I wouldn't rate it as highly as some people do but it's an ok watch ... I'd probably rate it 6-7/10.

Rrraaaaarrrr !!! lol

Well my remaining Yotsuba&! volumes should ship tomorrow (2-3,5-6) ... at last it's volume 6! and volume 2 of Hayate series one should be shipping then too.

Also reading Suzuka at the moment, (the manga is better than the anime, although I can't really read it on the tram in the morning like normal as every so often you turn the page and find a nekid girly :eek:

).

Just finished watching a dvd called `Battle for Terra`
not a bad film i thought,what i did notice that while it was rather aimed at a younger audience (imho) the ending sort of was rather mature (dead person) not main character!

robgmun · 15 Sep 2009 at 21:43

Battle for Terra was suprisingly mature, more for the teens rather than kids

The info which came with my modded bd55 indicated that firmware upgrades are ok and don't affect the mod and so far upgrades have been fine .. but ymmv ...

If your bored you can read the manga, it's a lot longer.

However, everyone I have spoken to including myself has agreed that which ever one you see/read first, you prefer, I read the manga 2nd and really didn't like it that much.

SkeeterUK · 16 Sep 2009 at 15:55

Poped over th library today with bro as he wanted some antique books. I had a thought as to lookin for manga and found love hina and chobits volume 1 books so thought hmm ok why not. Also got starwars droids and alien animated book.

Looked hard for colour mangas but couldnt find any there all boring uncolour ones.

Still im gona give it ago. Hope i can follow it ok cos mangas are like back to front or somit aint they.

Seen chobits but not love hina, so will be interesting to see the similarities between the anime and manga.
