Re: AP 675 - Scary Characters

I am going to have to go with the wide array of monstrous creatures seen in Berserk . The anime movies and series (and manga) are full of horrific and grotesque monstrosities, bordering on nightmare-inducing. I can't recall any other anime that comes even close. https://external-content.duckduckgo.c...

Re: AP 674 - Monster Mash Pt 2

Far too many to list, so I am going to just mention the one that first popped into my head, after excluding the ones I know everyone else will likely mention: The vampires and other monsters from Dance in the Vampire Bund ( Dansu in za Vanpaia Bando ), were a good example of an anime take on tradtit...

Re: AP 673 - Monster Mash

If it were not already referenced in the opening post for this topic, I would have said Berzerk myself. There are all kinds of weird twisted monsters in the manga, not just the God Hand, and a few make it into the anime series and movies. But I will mention, in no particular order: (1) Attack on Tii...

Re: AP 672 - Ghosts

I could cheat and name one of the "Heroic Spirits" from the Fate series, but nah, I won't. I wish they'd make an anime of the manga Itoshi no Kana , as the titular character Kana would easily be my no. 1 favorite. https://www.anime-planet.com/images/characters/kana-itoshi-no-kana-19662.jpg...

Re: AP 671 - Fall 2020

I think the series I am most interested in for this Fall is the second season for Mahouka Koukou no Rettouse i (" The Irregular at Magic High School "), subtitled Raihousha-he n (" Visitor Arc "). I finally finished the first season this past summer (having started it back when i...

Re: AP 700 - Best Twists

I am going to name three that came readily to mind: ***SPOILER WARNINGS*** (3) For third place, I can't decide between the death of L in Death Note , or the death of Mami in Puella Magi Madoka Magica . In both cases, I was not all that surprised but they still intrigued me with the sudden ratcheting...

Re: AP 669 - Anime Catastrophies

I may have offered this suggestion for a forum topic, but I am myself hard put to determine a favorite, or three. So here's a few I will list: 3. While it is not an anime series, I have always had a special love for the world of the classic Ghibli movie Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind . It is a p...

Re: AP 668 - Anime President

I'm going to avoid the demon lord types, because although some might be worthy, their near immortality would be a problem ( I like term limits.) Nor am I going to name the student body president types, as many of them would be out of their depth. I am trying to think of characters I would not mind g...

Re: AP 667 - Joke Weapon

All I can think of are ridiculous weapons like Nicolas D Wolfwood's huge cross weapon from Trigun . https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2Fe%2Fe5%2FWolfwood_Punisher.jpg&f=1&nofb=1 It's an odd choice of weapon since it seems to be ...

Re: AP 666 - Demon Lords

I will keep it to three: I would mention Overlord , but Ainz is a lich , not a demon lord, as some might think. I always liked the subverted demon lord trope of Maoyuu Maou Yuusha , where the demon king is really a very attractive and helpful female. (Not to mention, the story gave me positive vibes...
