Skip Beat, so far ...
« on: April 02, 2009, 08:58:56 AM »
Well, I took today off from work. I finished White Album late at night, I was a bit sick with a fever. And this morning I felt like watching Sekirei DVD-rips (which I haven't even seen the series yet) and then I invited my sister and I had to change it to something else ... and I ended up with Skip Beat. She left around episode 3, but I kept watching and doing other things ... chores and stuff.

I'm on episode 14, I'm pretty damn Wow'd at how the anime turned out to be! It started good and it kept building up, episode after episode and most episodes were cliff hangers, in a good way! I was wondering why the score on AniDB.net was very high on Skip Beat (8.5+) and now I know why. The story's well done, sound as well (seems more original than repetitive junk), animation is there, colors and characters as well. I was expecting it to be a "dance" anime ... it's more about entertainment and acting. Not too bad, not too bad.

Kyoko's interesting. There are people who actually dropped out of high school and went for show businesses.

It's one of the new shows I am following this season.  I like it.  I think it's really cute and funny.  I really like how awkward the Kyoko is and I like her fantasy sequences.
Sig removed for being oversized.

If she was one of those epic drama queers I would have dropped the show and picked it up later on, or something like that. But just as you described her. She's fueled with lots of hatred and energy! Girls like her are scary .... and interesting! =]

I just finished this series. So they're going to make a second season?! There's like so many things left out! I'm looking forward to it. This is a very good series. I recommend it. Lots of comedy, drama and some slice of life.

My guess would be yes. If you want more, you could always read the manga :D

Don't know if there is enough material in the manga yet though. I haven't read it.

Saw 4 episodes... Dunno why, but so far I'm having hard time watching it, so I guess for now I'll just stick to manga and watch it when I realy want that

So...the first season ended.... that's why I couldn't find my Sukkippo Bitto episode on this monday morning...  :'(
Kuro Shitsuji is over, Toradora also .... I r lost O.o

p.s.1: I agree, Skip Beat is "smarter than the average bear", so to speak..  ;D

p.s.2: I'm surprised this thread was "born" just now, after so many months since the anime started.

p.s.3: Have a great week, everyone! Chuu !!

So the series is done now? Hmm I might go and look for the compilation for my download queue. Something to watch on my way to Hong Kong in may. :)

My friend introduced me to this, but I refused to watch it beyond the first 3 eps she showed me. (I like to watch stuff in one sitting so an incomplete series[at the time she introduced me to it] isn't a good thing for me)

It's a really good anime. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed it. Specially if you are a fan of Clannad/Air/Kanon series, then you'll definitely like this. Very good comedy and drama, and some romance.

Clannad is on my queue. I kinda liked Air except for the long and draggy ending, Kanon was ok.

But yeah, I've watched a couple eps already. I just refused to finish or "chase" this one.

Clannad is so good, its so awesome. I'm very happy to watch After Story (on episode 13, just finished it). Eclipse is just taking too long to release the WD so I'm getting the last couple of raws and I'll do the muxing myself. Anyways. I just love Clannad ~After Story~ They finally covered most of the mysteries behind several characters, and this is by far the only series that actually covers every character's problems. I'm very happy to watch it. Yes, I know what's going to happen ... I know.

I'm going to re-watch Clannad (first season). I don't think I've seen episode 24 with Tomoya, my memory never recalled that.

I'm gonna go on to episode 14! Kyou .... is so cute! <3

Just because you mentioned Anidb 8+ rating and "if you like clannad/air/kanon", it is obvious that I must put this on my watch list!

Too bad Mr.AniDB says that the subbers that have finished subbing are below 7 and that Ureshii-Yoroshiku are still on-going only at 10/25 :[

Don't know if there is enough material in the manga yet though. I haven't read it.

They left off at the beginning of c72.  There are 138 chapters, so a full 2 season show would probably have enough material right now.

I gave up on reading the manga. I've read the first half twice, but it just gets so boring. Is the anime any better?
