Bakemonogatari

This came out last year, but the blu-rays filled in a lot of the missing shots. There are still some of those red and black empty frames though =/ Coalgirls has a pretty decent rip... if you don't mind the file sizes :) It's about 20gb for the 1080p torrent.




ANN: Although there are still traces of the brief period he became a vampire, third year high school student Koyomi Araragi is human again. He happens upon others with their own supernatural problems and finds that he can empathize. Koyomi becomes involved in their lives, seeking to help them and occasionally asking for advice from Meme Oshino, the homeless man who helped him become human again.

Amazing artwork, and again, like katanagatari, maintains true to the story. It's Nisio Isin's wordplay with Vofan's artwork, animated by shaft. Good stuff :D Check it out, you won't regret it. I'd talk about the anime more, but its probably a better experience if you don't know what to expect ^^ If you don't like dialogue-driven plot... you still want to watch this  :)

Katanagatari

Let's start with something that's recent...

Katanagatari



ANN: This story teakes place in the Edo era where Yasuri Shichika is the seventh head of the Kyotou school of Japanese sword martial arts living in Fushou Island with his sister Nanami. With the order from a female samurai general Togame, he sets out for a trip to collect the twelve treasured swords created by a legendary swordsmith Shikizaki Kiki.

More than that though, katanagatari flows beautifully, and the directors intent on maintaining the dialogue of the light novel is impressive. Here are screencaps from episode one. I hope everyone checks it out!
