The Top 10 episodes of Love Hina that will make you a stud

Visited Sweden for a few days while over in Copenhagen (Malmo being a quick bridge trip over water) and it turns out a guy I met there last September and completely geeked out with over Bloodborne and Old Hunters hype is halfway through hormone therapy to change gender. Good for him.

Anyway the reason I'm posting this here is that him and a Swedish lass we know cosplayed together at the recent NärCon as Bon Kurei and Emporio Ivankov from One Piece. Both of whom are cross dressers and the latter has the power to use his/her fingers to inject gender switching hormones into opponents. I can't stop giggling every time I think about it.

Having just finished the 1997 series of Berserk, and thinking it was bloody excellent, I was a bit excited to learn there was a new one currently on now. This excitement was misplaced. It's really not very good. The CGI looks rubbish, the new comic relief character is irritating, the music is fucking dire (metal and OTT dramatic). The subtleties and tension in the 1997 one are now non-existent. Very disappointed.

It's humbling when you start realising all the Berserk refs in Japanese shiz. I only just made the link last week that the orb pickups from Devil May Cry are literally behelits.

Has anyone got any supa dupa sci fi anime to recommend? Is the art of Knights of Sidonia as good as the manga (the only reason I'd watch it). Otherwise something that isn't a daft harem thing would be great

Lame. Seen Space Dandy, good show, the episode with the rendering of Pavane for a Dead Princess was great as was the bonkers plantlife one but it fails to stay consistent unfortunately. When I see people listing best sci fi anime it's all Planetes (seen), Gantz (Don't want to see), Geass (snore) and so on. There must be a good one I haven't seen?

If no scifi then I guess a decent fantasy show would work

There was a sci-fi anime where the main character fucks a woman in a crane that I remember watching a few episodes of. It was called... Moonlight Mile. I don't know whether it ended up being well thought of but it was kinda proper-ish sci-fi in tone.

Rage of Bahamut: Genesis was remarkably inoffensive.

Glam Punch n Judy? Go on then.

I quite enjoyed that. It's not going to set the world on fire in terms of story and character development, but it looks stunning and is a great introduction into the world of FFXV and the characters within.

Are you crazy? At that speed you'd never pull out in time!

That's the kind of 'Jesus anime is largely shite but this one didn't make me want to hate myself' kind of approval I needed

So I've just seen the first 2 movies. Yeah they aren't very good at all, but I bought the third one before I watched them, as everyone said how good that is, so hopefully I've trudged through the worst of it. Will give the 90s show a shot after (only seen bits of it years ago).

Haven't seen Berserk. Will watch.  I just put on Freedom. 6 parts mini series. Or 7. Anyone else seen it?

I actually own that, but have never seen it. Is next to eden of the east in the pile.

She's like that in Season 2 if I recall too. The film just felt like fan service to me. Interesting idea bogged down by bringing back Kogami and focusing to much on him. It also has some truly dire CGI art in it.

I read the manga of that, it was proper daft. Apocalypse Zero, the book he did prior, is even dafter. All out splatterpunk J-comics i.e. the best kind.
