@CCL I always carry my ID inside of my wallet and never leave it unattended, makes me not lose both.

If I end up losing it one day I'll be really screwed tho.

@CCL stop being so quick with the replies dammit.

Risa

Looks like I missed your question as well.
What got me into anime ? hmm

2 years ago I was bored during my summer holidays and I watched Death note cuz I had nothing better to do. It re-lighted my anime flare and I'm kind of a big anime watcher since then.

That said, when I was a child I used to watch Yu-gi-oh on TV (the 1st gen) and I was absolutely in love with the serie and the game. ( I still am tho^^).

Galich stop having commented like a minute before I refresh forum D:

@CCL but that's what you do all the time D:

It's kinda true >_>

@CCL Makes me wonder if us writing here is just post spamming D:

I do remember googling "good anime for beginners", the main result was Ouran Highschool Club (talking about related posts!). It did it's job, since I'm here.

On a side note, that's a very nice way of finding out you like girls!

@Galich I remember listening to the OP of that anime, it's quite popular too back then. Though, you're the first person I know that started anime on that ^ ^

And yes, it was rather nice ^ - ^

@Utoptia Death Note was really good ^ o ^ though it's 2nd arc kinda faltered a little.

Galich, it kinda is >_>

Ikr, I would have given it a 10 out of 10, but the second arc could have been better. That said, Death note remains my favorite thriller along with Monster.

Talking about anime, what are your favorite openings ?

@Rina

On a separate note though, what was the entry anime for everyone?

For me it was Macross, though the Harmony Gold version known as Robotech (I only did watch the Macross Saga part) while it was having reruns in the mid 90s on Toonami. My first anime was a mecha anime, well what do you know. On TV they had Dragonball and Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon, but it wasn't until I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion that I got into anime more because at that point I was looking for it.

@Utoptia Hmm.. pretty much overlaps with my favourite anime.. Steins;Gate and both seasons of GITS.

@CCL Idk, writing here is fun as well >.>

Chapter 14 or whatever of always human suh cute D:

Just like the entire thing is tbh.

CCL
My favorite chapter of Always human is the #29.
Well, good thing I mentioned it here., it's such a cute serie.

Galich

Hacking to the gate is awesome, I totally agree !
I think some Naruto opening are underrated and awesome too. Listen to this:
Haruka kanata
GO!!

edit : forgot to mention Schindler's list and Carol. Include them as well

@ Utoptia
I bought Carol like the day it came out on DVD. I feel like it should've come home with at least one Oscar. Mad Max stole like half the awards anyway, so it'd only be fair. Plus, ever since Birdman won best picture, I've thought the Academy is the worst it's ever been. That movie is douchey pretentious bullshit.

Seems like you need a lesbian story to end in a tragic way to win an oscar. Carol deserved at least one, that's a fact.
Anyway, it doesn't affect my love of this movie.
And I agree with you on the last point. I don't like Iñárritu's works either. It seems like his movies are "oscar-winner" movie, and that they're made only for that purpose. I wouldn't call them bad all the same; I just find them boring and pretentious too.

I spent like an hour or so making this and I am sorry for the wall of text.

Oh boy, this is gonna be a list (of mostly Gundam lol). I almost like every opening I've seen, but I have a real soft spot for older anime animation and the openings those have. Doing show name - song name.

'*This one is just hilarious. First I hated the song, now I love it.
'**SORRY IT IS HERE BUT I LIKE IT A LOT
'***This show is kinda weird, but I do like the opening a lot and it is probably the best Harlock after the original
'****Yeah, I like all the Openings for the original FMA
'*****TTGL's opening animation changes a few times over the course of the anime as time progresses and the song also moves to later sections in the later versions
'******Same of the second version, lol. I like all the openings.
'*******This one is kinda cheating, since it's the credit song to Episode 6 of the Gundam Unicorn OVA, and they turned it into the OP of one episode in the TV version that's now broadcasting

@CCL Okay, fun time is over, ChocolateCakeLover is my actual alt. It's over, fun while it lasted.

I'm not sure myself anymore either >.>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On9nqGZv6cA Mobile Suit Gundam UC RE:0096 - RE:I AM*******

Thanks Utoptia!
