Even More Great Anime on Netflix

[meiam]

From those, I've watched:

The devil is a part timer: Great show concept, executed fairly well (although episode 6 is kinda the last episode and then continue on with much more mundane stuff). Pretty funny and the few fight scene are surprisingly good.

SAO (well I stopped at around 7 or 8): The show just has terrible pacing, you go from action packed show to 2-3 episode in a row of Kirito (the gary stu to end all gary stu argument) honeymoon. The show also really doesn't understand how mmo work (monster and quest have limited respawn, how fun must it be to not be among the first to play the game and being told it's impossible for you to level up).

Noragami: The show start out really good, great action and humor. Then the middle 4-5 episodes are all about an emo teenager problems, it's exactly has interesting has it sounds.

Deadman: Read part of the manga, meh it's trying to be real edgy (people fight with there blood) but I dunno, it's not very interesting.

Soul eater: Some people talked about it earlier, the show didn't seems like it knew where it was gonna be in the next episode, the main "quest" that keep changing and older concept just disappear. It's a shonen trough and trough.

The lack of Mushishi and Kino no Tabi on this list is frankly unacceptable, unless they were removed from netflix recently.

I always liked .hack franchise as far as in a video game anime goes. I wish all of that show was on Netflix.

On a side note correct me if I wrong but I thought at the start of Soul Eater they had already collected the 99 souls of evil humans and where hunting the final soul they need which was a witch.

The description makes it sound like they hunt humans souls not specifically evil humans souls & and I think on the flip side any witch soul would do not just an evil one.

Yeah, that's how I remember the show's premise as well, though it's been awhile since I saw it.

I liked the style in this anime, the Gurren Lagann type easthetic. Then the end of the first season got a lil'...strange...

Where's the love for Knights of Sidonia? Great show.

Lot's of complaining about SAO. You have to like romance stories to like SAO, because that's what SAO primarily is. One of my nitpicks is when people directly compare animes that take place in a game, like they're the same genre. They're not, they have the same setting. It'd be like asking what your favorite Idaho movie is. SAO is a romance show, Log Horizon (which is very good and by the same person that did Maoyu Mao Yusha) is politics: the anime, and .Hack//Sign (which is also very good) is a conspiracy drama.

Oh, and because I love to be hated, the first FMA anime was way better than Brotherhood (and by extension, the manga it's based on). And that's why you can still stream the first anime but not Brotherhood.

I enjoy Netflix and use it to watch a lot of anime I might not purchase based on a box blurb but the one major issue I have with the service is the lack of English dubs, especially for shows which already have English dubs released to DVD or airing elsewhere. Come on Netflix, fight harder for full releases. Just like regular TV not everyone wants to have to devote 100% of their attention to watching a show and reading the script. I personally have a tendency to watch shows while working on coursework for my degree program or taking care of other things where I can keep my ears and peripheral vision tuned to the TV.

Not to inflame the ever-present subs vs dubs debates, but one of the best features of streaming over traditional broadcasts is the ability for viewers of things like anime to watch it in the mode they prefer. The sub fans can have their original language audio and debatably better translations while dub fans can listen to the same show in a language they can understand.
