The hosts talk about anime that they feel has outlived it’s welcome in the anime community. From decade long shows with rabid fangirls squealing in the halls of anime conventions. To shows that weren’t that good to begin with inspiring cosplay decisions that are even worse. Get ready for an hilarious time as the hosts don’t hold any opinions on the matter back!

“Would You Just Go Away Already” Requested by Crutch910
Anime that you believe have overstayed their welcome in terms of rabid fandom, cosplay, merchandise, sequels/ova’s

Fullmetal Alchemist – The original FMA came out back in 2003, and while it has inspired a number of movies and a complete revamp – brotherhood – I am so tired of hearing about Ed and Alphonse.

Macross Frontier – This series is everywhere in Japan still and the popularity of characters such as Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee ring out as unwelcome in my mind. I’m ready for new Macross and new Macross girls

Ouran High Host Club – Really, why is this still so popular at conventions? This also came out in 2006 originally and wasn’t even that much to speak on then.

Evangelion – Chiaki’s just gonna say it, Chiaki’s gonna hate, whatchu gonna do about it but seriously Eva I am so tired of your face.

Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya – This one is also 10 years old now coming out in 2003 and DAAAAAAAMN when it inspires literally the longest anime movie EVER MADE why? Not to mention the cosplay isn’t even that inspiring.

Sora no Otoshimono – This show about a guy who wants to stuff panties into his mouth and an “angel” droid who is his slave does NOT deserve sequels!

Bleach – I know it’s longevity comes from generic shonan show power, but it wasn’t even really that good the little I have watched. And no one in Japan seems to give a damn either.

One Piece – Channeling the same powers as Bleach One Piece has brought shonen shows to a new extreme, the original manga has been going on since 1997, and the anime has been going on since 1999, well over a decade of Monkey D Luffy, let it die!!! Plus, Chiaki doesn’t even really like the artwork….

Hetalia (obviously) – This show just had a new season aire and I must say that I don’t give a shit. Do we really need MORE of the same comedy bs from Hetalia? I’ve had enough of the cosplayers. At least in Japan cosplay is much more rare and nobody would dare to be obnoxious in public so I don’t have to worry about it here.

Gurren Lagann – I even enjoyed this series but let’s face it the best part of the series was in the first 13 episodes and everyone watched the other 13 hoping for some mirror of that glory. But because of how solid those 13 episodes were they’ve created a number of die-hard fans and Kamina cross-plays that just…. just…. should not exist.

Death Note – Aren’t you 13 year-olds tired of toting around that black notebook yet? And I swear if I see one more baggy jeans white t-shirt and bruised looking eyes L cosplay walking around a con I may scream!

Vampire Knight – it’s sad I even have to say this but can we move on ladies? I’m so tired of vampire lust… Thank you Twilight.

Episode 166 – An Epic Love

chiaki / 161-170, Episodes / anime for valentines day, epic anime love, epic anime romance, famous anime couples, The best anime couples, the best romance anime, top 10 anime couples / 0 Comments

February 17, 2013

Episode Summary:

Anime covers all kinds of stories, from comedies to dramas, fantasy to sci-fi. But a theme that can be found in any anime is love. As Valentine’s Day approaches everyone begins to sense the love in the air. Here are some anime couples that share an epic love that transcend space, time, race, social norms, and distance.

Opening Song: Zeotrope from the anime Amnesia by the artist Nagi Yanagi

Main Topic:

Parn and Deedlet – Record of Lodoss War
Why: A low born human who took up the sword and an elven princess in a fantasy world. It’s an epic love that comes together in spite of war and all odds.

Inuyasha and Kagome – Inuyasha
Why: This is an epic love. After almost 200 episodes and 4 movies of these two bickering and fighting and falling in love, we finally get the kiss everybody waited for in the Inuyasha films, which seals the deal.

Shizuku Tsukishima and Seiji Amasawa – Whisper of the Heart

Yukino Miyazaki and Souichiro Arima – Kare Kano
Why: Few anime start off with as much of a bang as this one. Very quickly we are skillfully made to understand the personalities of Miyazaki and Arima and soon after a rich love story develops. Later, they fight for their relationship as many obstacles get in the way.

Sawako and Kazehaya – Kimi Ni Todoke
Why: Their romance is a realistic imaging of two high school students falling in love. It’s the focus of the series so it has a natural development throughout.

Tamahome and Miyaka – Fushigi Yuugi
Why: Star crossed lovers with the ultimate devotion. These two know they want to be together and literally overcome mind control and people meddling at every turn.

School days ( ^.^)

Kenshin and Kaoru/Tome – Rurouni Kenshin + Samurai X(OVA)
Why: Another epic love that develops over a long series of episodes and OVAs. A very believable love story is created in the first two OVAs of the Samurai X OVAs but the remained of the content is spent to develop the love between Kenshin and Kaoru, including Kenshin ultimately dying in Kaoru’s arms.

MD Geist ( ^^.^^)

Armitage and Ross – Armitage III
Why: This couple makes the list because of how real they feel in their world. Not only do they fall in love but they have real feelings such as a want to get married and have children. It’s also authentic to the world because they must overcome notions and limitations of a human and an advanced cyborg.

Chii and Hideki – Chobits
Why: The relationship has a full 26 episodes to develop; there are many events during the series in which Hideki demonstrates how much he loves Chii

Yukari and George – Paradise Kiss
Why: Love or hate this show these two have a fleshed out relationship. From infatuation turning into love, to the first time, and the transition into adulthood their romance tackles real issues and feelings people in such a situation face.

Noboru Terao and Mikako Nagamine – Voices of a Distant Star

Holo and Lawrence – Spice and Wolf

Nana Komatsu and Takumi Ichinose – NANA
Why: This romance is one of the best developed in anime because it is not a fluffy everything is perfect world. It starts out as a fling and then is brought together by obligation and a respect between two people that becomes a form of love over time. A realistic situation many people find themselves in.

Lafiel and Jinto – Crest of the Stars
Why: Powerful relationship that develops over the course of many episodes. A deep love that is held back by military duty. However, the two care deeply for each other and often show it through their concern when one is in danger. A true love story from one of anime’s great space operas.

Takaki Touno and Akari Shinohara – 5cm Per Second

Why: Another example of how a romance doesn’t have to end in a shower of rose petals and rainbows to be epic. This romance is made epic through Takaki’s endless devotion to Akari. Throughout the course of his movie – his life – he spends every moment thinking of her, dreaming of her, wanting to be with her. Even into adulthood his heart belongs entirely to her even though she’s long since moved on. Making his love for her one of the most epic out there.

Closing Song: Recall from the anime Amnesia by the artist Ray

Episode 162 – English in Anime

chiaki / 161-170, Episodes / anime with english in them, english in anime, meaningless symbolism in anime, religious symbolism in anime, symbolism in anime / 0 Comments

January 19, 2013

Episode Summary: Inspired by a question by blazekizashi about English in anime the Anime Addicts talk about what anime directors do to be cool and trendy in their shows. From English and other languages in the anime to foreigners and their representation.

Opening Song: Revise the World from the anime Muv-Luv Alternative by the artist Ayami

Main Topic Notes:

ORIGINAL QUESTION by blazekizashi:
I don’t know if you guys realize it or not but there seems to be a lot of English in anime. Not that it’s a bad thing but anime characters’ dialogue and especially the theme songs can be randomly filled with arbitrary English lines that can sometimes be weird to listen to… Do you guys think its because they’re trying to appeal to a large English audience or is it that the language simply has infiltrated cultures all over the world, including anime? Just wondering…

English/Other Languages:
Girls un Panzer: German – For some reason in Japan German is almost as trendy as English to speak. I think it is because of the fact that Japanese have a deep respect for German culture. As a result we see many German influences in anime and random words thrown in, Girls un Panzer is one such thing.
Mirai Nikki: German – I can’t say if there’s German in the anime itself, but the opening song Kuusou Mesorogiwi uses random snippets of German in the chorus for “one two three.”
[C]: English – now it could be argued that the character is American and in the flashbacks or scenes of her interacting with other Americans could be authentic rather than trendy or gimmicky. But with how AWFUL the voices were no one but English speakers would know it was awful, leading me to think that if the director wanted to be authentic they would’ve found someone who actually speaks English well to do the 3 minutes of dialogue.

Foreigners:
Tari Tari: This could also go under the first category but there is a group of hispanic performers, one of whom only speaks in Spanish with eccentric motions and actions. This series was serious enough that I may be inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt that it was a representation for how nervous foreigners make Japanese people – which was shown. But he also served as a key comic relief and a spectacle for characters and viewer.
Utena: Bet you didn’t see this coming. But seriously, there was no reason for Anthy to appear of Indian descent other than to set her apart as something mysterious and exotic. Not to mention the fact that she was OWNED could be seen to ruffle a few feathers in that regard.
Black Lagoon: I think Dutch is very cool, and very stereotypical of the “big black guy” that many Japanese people have the perception of. Dangerous, renegade, overly muscled.
Ouran High Host Club: In this anime Tamaki Suoh is actually a halfling, a half-Japanese, half-French character. The important thing to note is that he has BLONDE hair. Genetics say no to that mix. But it’s an interesting thing that just because someone is “half” they become much better than a “whole” Japanese person. This example holds true in:

Rebecca Miyamoto (half-Japanese, half-American) from Pani Poni Dash!
Momiji Sohma (half-German, half-Japanese) from Fruits Basket
Elise Housen (half-French, half-Japanese) from Canvas 2
Eri Sawachika (half-British, half-Japanese) from School Rumble
Maria Tachibana (half-Russian, half-Japanese) from Sakura Taisen
Heindrick and Elizabeth K. Strawberryfield (half-English, half-Japanese) from Kamen no Maid Guy
Niina Isokawa (half-American, half-Japanese) from Tona-gura
Sophie Balzac Kirisaki (half-French, half-Japanese) from Yakitate Japan
Meister Silvan Kirisaki (half-French, half-Japanese) from Yakitate Japan

Angel Beats: The character TK from Angel Beats shows another side to how foreigners are viewed in Japan. Crazy, funny, amusing, impossible to understanding, brash, loud, but somehow charming to be around. TK is incredibly annoying at times but the entire cast has no problem tolerating him.

Another example of the loud American steryotype is Roy Focker from Macross

Closing Song: Sarari from the anime Suki tte Ii na yo by the artist Sunoehair
