[spoiler=My Impression of Shadow Hearts: Covenant Part One]

Yeah, so we open with Germans. With big spiky hats. Fulling full pelt through a forest. Reminds me of something, but I don't know what. Oh yeah, and the camera had ingested LSD before the shot and everything's in a weird purple atmosphere. And some girl is apparently having an orgasm over all this running and her hyperventilating barks over the music occasionally.

 

Yeah, so we learn that they are German troopers heading for the quiet little town of Domremy, France. It's every bit the picturesque post card that's been glassed by a Tyranid invasion fleet. Also, the camera has frequent blackouts where it ends up forward in time. Okay.

 

Okay, so they're in the town and they're walking up to this church. That sounds ominous. They also meet up with Squad Futter who we only see in the distance and are most probably going to die horrible deaths.

 

Suddenly the camera sprouts wings and flies over a bunch of sticks with spiky helmets hanging on them. That's not a bad sign.

 

So Squad Ausstellung goes and barges into the church like the badass spiky helmet men they are. And there's nothing. Oh, we also see this red haired chick walk into the church as well.

 

So Ausstellung fans out along the abandoned church and generally act like pretty competent soldiers. Then everything goes to hell.

 

Hellish screams. Yelps for mercy. Gunshots. A glimpse of a giant demon thing jabronislap Herr Futter across the meadow.

 

Reacting accordingly, Herr Ausstellung waves his arm in a vague direction and the squad circles up. Oh, and the door closed.

 

It is then that we meet Lieutenant Karin Koenig who apparently is leading this expedition. She walks around for a bit and does nothing as the demon jumps through the skylight stain glass window and lands right behind her.

 

Herr Ausstellung, being the badass hard-broiled sweet nothing that he is, runs up to her and jabronislaps her across the room. Because he rolls that way. Then the demon punches him against the column. funk.

 

So Karin is gratifying herself on the church floor and the spiky helmet men open fire on the demon. This does as much as what you would expect and the demon finishes them all off and makes them as humiliated as possible. He also weathered a grenade and put his manly body over Karin as cover.

 

He then decides to make her his virgin sacrifice then realized that she already slept with half the men in the German army. He then drops her like a sack of dirty clothes to demonstrate his behaviour over most of the first disc.

 

Then... purple, flash of light, leather. Crazy spiky hairstyles. And the camera finally OD'd.

 

 

Coming up next.... creepy rapist men in white, LENNY DESTROYER OF WORLDS, and trashing the Vatican for gold and glory.

WRONG.

 

If you knew what I was talking about you'd be shitting your pants in fear~

 

Yeah. Good thing I don't know then.

 

If you ever plan on revealing it, please make sure I'm not on, and I will personally double the size of your torture room.

Since I need to suggest an anime that probably none of you have watched' date=' go with Eden of the East. It's only 11 episodes, but it's awesome nonetheless.

[/quote']

 

Lazy and have 12 series I'm currently watching. Monster, DRRR!!, Big Windup!, Baccano!, Neon Genesis Evangelion, that kinda stuff.

 

Big Windup? A sports anime?

 

I'm currently watching Eureka Seven, Ga-Rei -Zero-, K-ON!!, Kuroshitsuji, Shakugan no Shana S, and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (2009).

Hey Xirny. When you watch Code Geass, do yoyrself a favor and watch it in English.

 

It is one of those few anime that is actually excellent in English. I personally liked the Voice Acting better in English than in Japanese, and that hasn't happened since Air Gear.

Excellent and ridiculously superior to the original are two different things, Zex.

 

Good English Voice Acting was in...

Gurren Lagann

Air Gear

Code Geass

G Gundam

 

Tell me if I'm forgetting something, since I'm not thinking straight right now.

Fullmetal Alchemist had awesome English voice work, too. In fact, it's worth watching in English solely due to Laura Bailey's extremely sexy Lust voice (which she incidentally used for Cloud of Darkness in Dissidia).

 

Bleach, on the other hand, is very....eh. When it first came out, the voice work was actually pretty good. But as it went on, it seemed to me that they were just getting lazy - the quality dropped, the characters started mispronouncing very easy to pronounce names and phrases, and and the voices started sucking.

Totally forgot about Fullmetal.

 

@Bleach: Really? It's vice versa for me. The voice acting IMO started awfully. Then it rose up and became somewhat better. Though, I think they're mispronouncing everything on purpose. Because I'm pretty sure it isn't: "Grimjaow".

When Yumichika was first introduced, it was pronounced properly as "You-meech-kuh". Now they say it "You-Me-Chee-Kuh*. Like some guy who thinks he's a big shot walking up to some Spansih chick and going "Hey! You, me, chica!"

 

... That was bad.

 

Anyway, Digimon is also pretty good. It had edits, as any anime geared towards kids in America does, but the Voice Acting was pretty solid in 01-03, from what I remember at least.

Laura Bailey voices Lust, Cloudy, and Harribel. I wouldn't be surprised if she voices Konan.

 

Incidentally, I stopped watching Data Squad once the Royal Knights showed up. They had the worst voices, and I wanted to cry after I heard Gallantmon talk.

 

Yu Yu Hakusho is exceptional because it gets better with each adaptation. Manga < Sub < Dub. Of course, the anime left out some very crucial details in the manga, but it was still very good.

 

I'm getting pretty lazy. Over 30 episodes behind on Shippudden, and while not as bad, I'm still pretty behind on Fairy Tail, Bleach, and 5D's.

Samurai Champloo was awesome. Steve Blum pretty much does excellent work everywhere he goes.

 

Haruhi has a good English cast as well. A few minor grievances, but mostly it's fantastic.

 

Also, Rox, I haven't seen a Bleach episode since Muramasa took control of Ryujin Jakka. I have a lot of catching up to do. And I haven't seena Fairy Tail episode since the defeat of the Skull Flute.

 

So I'm way behind on my watching. I'm catching up on my reading, though.
