What you watched, expected, and got.

What I read: Nodame Cantabile.
What I expected: Mediocre shonen about classical music.
What I got: The best manga I've ever read. A perfectly flowing story with great characters and comedy. Also, not shonen. -
Why the hell after eight pages isn't there a Negima one?

What I watched: Dead Leaves. I saw it on Netflix and kept it on my list… I was bored one day and said "well shit, let's see".
What I expected: Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
What I got: HOLY FUCKING SHIT!! gunning down cops HOLY!! punches hole into robot, kicks it upwards, sending it spinning, kicks it again in another direction, grab some guns and finish it off. BOOOOMMM!! KABLAM!! O________O Best way to spend around 7 minutes opening a movie. The rest is just as insane.

TLS! Hiroy!
Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer.
GO!
I'd do it myself but I've gotta re-download photoshop. :V
-
Ha, I don't even know how to use Photoshop. I only use Paint. I guess I might give it a go though.
-
TL-s - your post on AP have made me interested in Negima. It is now on the list.
:]

What I watched
[hide][/hide]What I expected
[hide]I don't care what you say; all other robot animes I watched had rubbish fight scenes, are outdated and had crappy robot designs, so I didn't expect much from this.
[/hide]What I got
[hide]
And a fuckload of other awesome shit.[/hide]WARNING: Big-ass pictures, advise to open them in another tab to get the auto-resizing option so can fully appreciate the awesomeness.

What??????????????????
-
What I watched…Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie: A wakening of the Trailblazer
I expected something decent...
but I got random beam spamming with an even more random plot. -
What I watched: G Gundam
What I expected: Usual Gundam
What I got: Awesomeness -
To hell with it: What I got: Negima
What I expected: Harem + Harry Potter + Hero saving the world by becoming like his dad (ala Hunter X Hunter).
What I got: Harem (I gloss over these bits since I am not a fan) + Harry Potter (and I love HP) + Hero saving the world by NOT being like is dad, a very refreshing change! Hero using dark magic works for me.

What I watched: Gundam 00 Awakening of the Trailblazer

What I got:
[hide]
[/hide] -
so is there general consensus here that gurren lagann is worth the time? I've always avoided it because I detest mechas. but I should try it out then? how many episodes or chapters will it take to get hooked?

I personally hate mecha, a LOT, but I loved TTGL.
You should definitely at least watch until episode 8, but maybe that's just me. -
What I read: Bakuman.
What I expected: Before I had gone beyond hearing the title I was expecting a gag manga about a foolish superhero.
What I got: a rather informative and interesting series which makes me think more about the manga industry.

That dark picture needs to be bigger. -_-; There was action, yes, but I couldn't stand the depressing "serious" crap! Everyone had problems, but there were no therapists and optimists in that world. I'm not sure if Kingdom Hearts fits here, but this was rushed so, meh. :PAlso, WARNING: there is a rant and lots of spoilers,
! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL OFF ELLIOT!? HE WAS LIKE THE ONLY ONE WHO WASN'T EMO(almost) OF THEM ALL UNTIL YOU, AUTHOR, SCREWED AROUND WITH HIM!!!
!
! And emo as in depressing, angsty, and woobies. Elliot actually stood his ground when he sunk into his "sea of despair", which was the only refreshing and progressive thing that ever happened. Too bad he was going crazy, mixed up his memories, a Mr. Hyde serial killer, had his whole family wiped out, and it's the end of the world as we know it. But he was the most awesome tsundere, feisty, charismatic character that helped even the broken depressed male lead get back on his feet(and gay for him too). Now that he died, his best friend servant guy is going crazy and wants to commit suicide permanently, including his existence. Thankfully, Oz, main char, took up Elliot's manly spirit, tried to convince best friend servant guy not to commit suicide, and gave "I am glad I have met you" speech. Gosh, Elliot was the only reason that helped me get through most of it. Even the "comedy" didn't help lighten the angst. -
What I watched: Slayers
What I expected: A generic magical girl series
What I got: A partial parody of the fantasy genre. And it's awesome. -
someone needs to do jojo's bizzare adventure, each part
