Accel World's ending theme: "→unfinished→" by KOTOKO

Watched this French movie in French class not too long ago called "The Dinner Game" (or "Le Dîner de Cons" in French). It was actually really good.

It's been a while since this thread has been posted on and by goly a whole new season has started! Might as well get this up and running. Let's see, a few anime for the spring of 2012 have caught my eye: - Accel World (I've seen the first two episodes and it looks promising) - Sankarea (watched the first episode and I'm willing to give it a try) - Tasogare Otome x Amnesia (the first episode is out and I'm planning on watching it really soon) - Jormungand - Hyouka I've given myself a lot to keep track of, but each of these seems too good to pass up just yet.

I was flipping through old posts and found this sad little thread with no replies. Thought I'd revive it considering I particularly loved this anime. I started watching this show quite some time after it finished airing only because I wasn't all that into anime back then. But after watching all 24 episodes, I have to say this is one of the best detective anime of all time. The mysteries aren't too simple or too complicated, and every arc (which is 2-3 episodes) has significant plot development. Not the mention the mysteries aren't at all repetitive like in Detective Conan. The characters are unforgettable and the music is phenomenal (especially the ending songs). The end is as dramatic and epic as you can get it and plot is so intricate it actually takes a second run through each episode to fully understand and appreciate it. I'd give this a 9/10, which is the highest I dare rank any anime. Definitely a must watch.

I've watched most of Bakemonogatari. Personally, I'm not a huge fan. I'd give it a solid 7/10, but that's a score I give to just average anime shows. I wouldn't deter anyone from watching it, but I wouldn't support it either.

Huh, well, I don't have a solid top 5, but I have a few strong ones I like: - Glaceon: This Pokemon has some pretty neat combos. The abilities work great with Hail, Blizzard is unstoppable with 100% accuracy and STAB, and Galceon's EV trained Sp. Attack is insane. 'Nuff said. - Gengar: A notoriously famous Pokemon used in competitive battles, the options are expanded even further in Gen V. Step 1: EV train Sp. Attack. Step 2: Teach it Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Hex, and Nightmare. Step 3: Let the destruction begin. - Starmie: Another old school Pokemon that is great for the Battle Tower or whatnot. With an EV trained Sp. Attack, Surf (which also gets STAB), Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt will cover a lot of types for you. And of course Recover won't hurt in tight situations. - Machamp: Finally, a physical sweeper. This guy has equally insane Attack as Glaceon and Gengar have Sp. Attack. Make sure it has No Guard as the ability, and EV train accordingly. Teach it Dynamicpunch and Cross Chop (for both 100% accuracy, thanks to No Guard, and STAB). Have Earthquake and Stone Edge as backup. You now have a killing machine. - Pseudo-Legendaries: If trained right, these things can top most other Pokemon. There's too many to go through one by one, but if you know about Pokemon enough then you won't need a full explanation anyway.

That's the one plot hole that's keeping me from ranking this a perfect 10/10. Otherwise, it's still a very strong 9/10.
