[QUOTE=cowsaysoink;48091407]i was also watching hibike for trumpet nostalgia, but i stopped at episode 4 because the band's terrible attitude was bugging me. should i pick it back up?[/QUOTE]
The attitude gets better, I think it is worth watching.
But yeah band was great, all of my current friends are still those that I was in band with, and I am in my mid 20's now. It wasn't a club though like the one in hibike, it was a class that look a class slot every day. Good times.
I suppose if I took up some other activity then my friends would have been from whatever I ended up doing instead, but I am happy that I was in band, since it was the best times from my non-college years.
I actually did end up playing my trumpet for a bit today. I am no longer worthy of 1st chair, but at least the trumpet still works. Dunno if I even have any sheet music, I was just doing basic exercises.

I couldn't get into ghost in the shell because the main character walks around almost naked a lot of the time

the series, in particular.
I can understand not liking Motoko being in skimpy clothes when it's not appropriate like in that one scene where everyone is discussing something in an office and she's in a leotard but I don't really know what to say if you're so bothered by skin that you'd drop an anime that can be considered a classic.
I probably should, I can't even remember what particular scene threw me off.
Hibike had my favourite piece of classical music in it, Dvorak's From the new world.

[QUOTE=Skwee;48090774]I really liked hibike, but I was also in band in high school so there's that. Makes me want to pick my trumpet up again. I was also first chair in HS, and did solo thingers[/QUOTE]
Does it also make you want to turn into a lesbian

If you really mean HOTD, it was doomed from the beginning because the mangaka behind the manga is also behind Triage X and a large catalog of hentai manga and doujins. All he does is ecchi and hentai.
Just finished two seasons of Tesagure...I am really surprised I kinda enjoyed this show.
I did not expect this to be any good when I started lol

He also doesn't continue HoTD and [sp]killed off best girl[/sp]
Just finished Hibike, I'd say it's a 7+ show, but deserves a solid 8 for great visuals and being decent overall. Was not disappointed. Also, the [sp]performance[/sp] in the last episode (probably not big of a spoiler, didn't want to take risks) made me a bit teary-eyed and reminded me how awesome the classical music is.

Having listened to this symphony a couple of times, I almost instantly recognized the piece when [sp]Reina was playing on her trumpet[/sp] (ditto, gotta fear Orkel).
Finished Ping Pong The Animation the other day. OP was pretty good.
just finished watching 5cm/second (I know I'm super late)
completely feel like shite now
Hibike has to the best damn thing that has come out of KyoAni in years. The tension absolutely killed me, I'm shaking here.
And I have to say, what a fucking master stroke- they realised that maingrill was not bestgrill, so they made her tie up her hair to mimic bestgrill's appearance and then bestgrill came along and gave her a fistbump. These people know how to please a man.

try to find and watch the manga adaption and novelization. They provide more details of certain parts of the story and I enjoyed them very much
the tatami galaxy was a peculiar anime
Cool too. Like me. I'm cool.
Just finished Tsukimonogatari too, the OP is pretty good despite me not caring for Ononoki before it.

Also incredibly obvious that Takehito Koyasu (aka DIO) voiced Tadatsuru.

I've always really liked Ononoki's design despite it being the most 'anime' out of the cast.

I saw a guy get pulled over by the anime police once, he got three years in jail because his waifu was a shit. You've gotta be careful, man.

you should of rolled your window down at a red light and blasted platinum disco while doing the hand gestures towards the guy next to you
at worst they'll look at you in disgust, at best they'll look at you in disgust

Should've rolled down the window and played this.

Takehito is basically in everything now, from recent memory some of his characters;
Dio, DIO, Food Dio, Space Dio, Ripped Dio, Idol Dio, Gun Dio, Brother Prince Dio, and of course Inferior Dio.
One of the shows this season that I wanted to check out, "[URL="http://myanimelist.net/anime/28619/Ranpo_Kitan:_Game_of_Laplace"]Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace[/URL]" is some horror mystery series. More information about it finally came out, and it turns out the the MC is the boy on the right

Judging by how tight those pants are they're homing in on the demographic for traps hard.

I really don't get the appeal of traps.

Koyasu is there with Sugita, Hideyama and Wakamoto with VAs that have almost no range. They don't need it either.
[QUOTE=RejectedPost;48094434]I really don't get the appeal of traps.[/QUOTE]
it's kind of like a tootsie pop
I'm pretty sure it's easier to list shows Koyasu [I]isn't[/I] in at this point.
