Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.

Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Is this even a question? Well he could also like the scene where Araragi wipes the sweat of his sister's bare body, the scene where he gets chained up by his girlfriend or the scene where he has a 10 minute conversation with a certain character, both stark naked in the bathroom. It's not just about the toothbrush ya know. It's a secret! But seriously, it's not my favorite scene but it's the one that sticks out in my mind the most because it's one of the most bizarre scenes in anime.

Yeah, it certainly is the most infamous part of it, the whole series is bizarre but that part is the icing on the cake. I just, don't know what to feel.

Posts: 2,642 Group: Mars Clan (wololo!) Member #1,237 Joined: September 17, 2014 True Name: Kitten	Time for more anime collecting. Right now I need your best tips for Sci-fi anime. Anything from Star Wars/Star Trek stuff, to realistic stuff, to NGE, cyberpunk-ish etc etc. Sci-fi. Mysterious and intense anime. Anime that makes you think and wonder, big mysteries, thrilling and intense plot etc. Animes that screams of the 80s. Neon, style, soundtrack. If you got something good that's actually from the 80's and does that would be perfect. Think Akira. Since I mentioned Akira, anime with God tier soundtracks. Adventerous anime. I want to go on an adventure. One Piece does this very good. You really feel like you're traveling with them to unknown lands with endless possibilites. Classic must watch animes. I don't know how far back you guys are knowledgeable about anime. When did anime get good? Like, is there anything good way back in the 60's? If there are then I'd like anything must watch from the 60s-90's then. Let's go all out, the single best anime you've ever experienced. If it sounds good I'll watch it. As previously, just list everything that comes to mind. I might've seen it or not, doesn't matter I need it all. Also, I'm thankful for anime movies as well, not just series.

Probably the most retro thing I've seen is Digimon. <_< >_> Maybe that works for adventure as well? Quote: [*] Let's go all out, the single best anime you've ever experienced. If it sounds good I'll watch it. Hard question, but possibly Kara no Kyoukai. Either that or Madoka Magica.

Posts: 2,642 Group: Mars Clan (wololo!) Member #1,237 Joined: September 17, 2014 True Name: Kitten	Saturos Feb 4 2015, 12:58 AM I like many things, Dimple. Truth be told though, OST is probably one of the things that I look for least in an anime. I like it if it's there, but I can just listen to the soundtrack independently if I need to. Just as with movies and tv series, music in anime can completely set the mood. It can be equally important to the storytelling as with anything else. So with a good soundtrack I don't just mean something that sounds good, but something that completes the whole picture. That's why I mentioned Akira. While I really like the sound of that soundtrack on its own, I also think it fits perfect with what's happening on the screen, in the story. Another anime I think does this good is Neon Genesis Evangelion. In these two examples I think you can hear/see that there's a point to the music besides just being pleasant to the ear. I don't think you don't understand the importance of music in various media and I'm not trying to tell you how to enjoy your animes or anything, just trying to explain what I might be searching for when I asked for animes with "God tier soundtrack". But thanks for the tips so far, checking them out and downloading until my computer starts sweating.

Posts: 2,642 Group: Mars Clan (wololo!) Member #1,237 Joined: September 17, 2014 True Name: Kitten	All right. I've heard a lot about it. All I know of the plot is that it features small magical anime girls. I don't know if I got enough courage needed to take that step but I'll bite. Down so far from the latest tips: Galactic Heroes, Psycho-Pass, FLCL, JoJo and now Madoka. I think. I've finally taken the step into the void haven't I. I've started to watch anime. Actually watch anime. There's a big difference between watching and watching. I'm going to gain weight, start using the word kawaii without being ironic, lose whatever I call my social life and buy one of those anime girl pillows with whatever 9 year old girl I call my waifu on it. And how can I possibly deal with being a comic book nerd at the same time.

I think the main one whose soundtrack stuck out to be that I didn't mention was Serial Experiments Lain. And what I was more getting at is that I've heard Terror In Resonance has some definite flaws to it, so I wouldn't watch an anime just for the soundtrack.

You could also watch it for the animation. Or the cinematography. Or the thematic execution. Just don't watch it for quality scriptwriting lel because thats the biggest stinker about it.
