I just got done watching Gunsmith Cats, it's great however they only made 3 episodes. There's an awesome car chase scene in it too smile.gif All three episodes are convenitely uploaded on this video if anyones interested.

YOUTUBE ( http://youtu.be/85WQj51an3A )


The manga is good too, the attention to detail is amazing. Supposedly the artists actually went to Chicago to take pictures for the manga and shot all the guns featured.

>pinnacle of handgun evolution

nope

But I did love Gunsmith Cats. That OVA is the entire reason why I strive to get a '67 Shelby and paint it blue with white stripes in all the racing games I play.

lol You can carry CZ75s cocked and locked or double action only. It's always nice to have options.

Bolded and underlined the most important part of his qualifying questions. If you answered 'no' or even answered something like 'I have a casual understanding and/or interest in tanks' then this series is going to be boring for you.

This is everything a man should want from an anime. No defeating universal heat death by crying here.

Or you could carry a Makarov locked and have it ready to fire by the mere act of unholstering it

Or you could be a part of the Sig Sauer master race and laugh at those who need that 'safety' thing tongue.gif

This is pretty cool. Erika dressed up as Suigintou (by the way, I hate Suigintou. Shinku a best.)

Case in point, MV88. Watch GuP.

Ugh Sigs remind me of Nutnfancy. They're good guns though, perfect for the upper-middle class mall ninja who wants to be special. derp.gif

You don't have to focus so much on my "quality" limiter. It's not a requirement for it to be SUPRR good, just don't deliberately give me the title to a series that's unanimously considered as suck. tongue.gif looks like I'll check this stuff out anyway, since I rarely go into anime with any expectations anyway.

Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai. Girls und Panzer.

Copy that. My priority of watching both is low, but I only say that because...my priority of watching anime in general is low... tongue.gif I'm off work all Friday, so instead of doing something like going out to some stores and burning what little of my checking account that I don't have, I'll sit on my lazy-ass, save money, and watch anime! w00t awesome.gif

Now you guys seem like a knowledgeable bunch. This next one is less about recommendations, and more like guidance...

Toaru Majutsu no Index. This is something I've had on my "I guess I'm curious so I want to watch it"-list based on another one of my random, illogical interests for years now, and I gave it a quick search to figure out...nothing, really, just how many episodes I'd be getting into if/when I decide to arse myself to watch it. Doing that, I found out there's a spin-off from it, Toaru Kagaku no Railgun.

Is there any sort of continuity between the two? Should I watch both or just one?

Why is deciding what to watch so damn difficult? laugh.gif

[edit]Also...+1 on iM@S. I have high regards for it's enjoyability, and would definitely recommend it as a "Must watch" anime. Get to that as soon as you can![/edit]

Well, first of all there are four series:

Index
Index II
Railgun
Railgun S

You could watch them in order of their release:
Index > Railgun > Index II > Railgun S

Or you could get REALLY SUPER HARDCORE and watch them all chronologically:

Whichever way you choose, definitely watch it all. Fantastic series, I love it.

Yeah, I saw there were second seasons of both...so I was like, fuuuuuck, whatever I watch is double the effort, and watching both is quadruple the effort... But it's one of those things I keep seeing pop up everywhere in the anime community, so it has to be worth the effort. I just didn't know nuthin'! So guidance I now has.

Alright! Time to reallocate my life. grin2.gif

Oh, you forgot that there was a movie as well, which takes place sometime around the middle/end of Index I and the middle of Railgun S...ish.

But yeah. Four series and a movie. So far.

Ayup. They are good, though! laugh2.gif

So what is the timeline of Railgun S 17 - 24 then, cuz it only shows up to 16? And does the extras/specials have a particular spot too? This is in case when I start watching the whole series, which i do have ready to watch one day if I decide to do the chronological way just for fun.
