Animes

[Melon]

Any anime fans here? Which anime series or movies you into?

:DI've devoted myself to Bleach each week for the last 3-4 years since it began airing. It's awesome! I've watched many other animes some of which i can not recall now but the ones i've watched most recently are:

-BLACK LAGOON (:thumbup: I recommend others to watch this)
- GITS- Stand Alone Complex and Solid State Society
- Devil May Cry (series)
- Appleseed Ex-machina
- Ergo Proxy
-BAKUMATSU (I also recommend this series)
- Persona Trinity Soul
- Gundam Seed 00
- Samurai Champloo

[hugsandmarxism]

*Buckles down the hatchets for anime-hater-shitstorm*

-Kanon (2006) (my av is of Yuuichi)
-Black Lagoon
-Tenga Toppa Gurren Lagann
-Utawarerumono
-Gungrave
-Hellsing TV, Hellsing OVA

and before it comes out

FIRST SQUAD!!!!! (http://www.japanator.com/elephant/post.phtml?pk=9813)

and countless others

Studio Ghibli stuff is quite nice, an ex had some tenious link to someone there. Cowboy Bebop was great. Ghost in the Shell, but didn't like S.A.C. Also, Hellsing, though Hellsing OVA is obviously better (Incognito was the most half assed villain ever created.). Blood the last vampire, Vampire Hunter D.

Agreed. I generally can't bring myself to listen to english dubs, but Cowboy Bebop and Hellsing have excellent ones. And Incognito was just... lame. Alucard needs nazi vampires to fight. It's only proper :D

[Melon]

The Cowboy Bepop english dubbed version was recently aired on Anime Central in UK (can't believe they closed it down as well as CNX but there were only a limited amount of animes shown).

I prefer watching animes in their original format as long as they have english subtitles.

[Bright Banana Beard]

I am currently watching Naruto Shippudden, Bleach, Ghost-07, Eden of the East, Phantom of Inferno, Valkryia Chronicle, Dragon Ball KAI, and Fullmetal Alchemist 2.

I saw Dragon Ball Z, Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho, Trigun, FLCL, Death Note, Code Geass S1 and S2, s-CRY-ed, and Genesis Evangelion Neon as far I can remember.

I just too lazy to download the whole episode, but mininova had help me get torrent download for the currently watching very easy, it just click, download and enjoy the anime!

Why would you do that?
Anyways, recently watched 'Monster' (http://www.anime-sub.com/2008/04/monster-episode-01.html), which was great (it starts good and gets better, you can watch it at the link). Currently watching Lain.

Seen the ones in bold and probably saw one or two episodes of the ones that are not. I actually have the box-set for Blue Seed laying around somewhere...

which reminds me... anyone see Galaxy Express 999?

[Schrödinger's Cat]

Recently, I've been addicted to Mushi-shi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnQrE_eWpco). Fantastic and thought provoking show. I recommend it to friends who don't even watch anime. It's akin to watching a lullaby.

[RedAnarchist]

Two of my brothers run a Naruto website, which hasn't been updated in a while due to people being busy, but it should be of interest to people who like Naruto.

[Melon]

Serial Experiments Lain was strange like Ergo Proxy and Persona Trinity Soul..........but yes it was great.

[mykittyhasaboner]

Currently watching Code Geass, which is by far my favorite.

Seen Black Lagoon (holy shit that was awesome), Cowboy Bebop(same), Desert Punk, Ghost In the Shell (the movies), Dragonball and Dragonball Z, FLCL. I cant really think of any others right now.

[Il Medico]

I have only seen the ones on IFC. Two actually. Basilisk and Witchblade. Witchblade was my favorite. Both were good.

[Cult of Reason]

Currently, off the top of my head, I would recommend:

Welcome to the NHK
Code Geass
Planetes

[Eva]

I forgot:
- Memories*
- Akira
- Ponyo
- Steamboy
- Samurai Champloo (some)
- Paranoia Agent*
- Ghost in a Shell (some)
- Speed Racer (some)
- Candy Candy

I'm a weaboo :mellow:
I grew up in South America. For some reason anime has been fairly popular there since the 70s; a lot of it I just saw on tv.

[black magick hustla]

i fervently disagree with this thread

[mykittyhasaboner]

Too bad for you.

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

The first anime I ever watched was Neon Genesis Evangelion. I haven't seen all of it, which is probably why when I watched the movie I couldn't make head nor tail of it. I also thought Shinji was perhaps the most annoying character in the entire Multiverse. For fuck's sake kid, there are bigger concerns than your petty personal crap! Keep your head level and your eye on the ball, otherwise people will die. OK, given the destruction wrought by the Angels and whatnot people will die anyway, but hell of a lot less people will die if you stop your whining and do your job! Fuck.

Of course, after that it took a lot of convincing from my sister (who's a complete weeaboo by the way - what with my mum being enough of a World of Warcraft addict to get a job with Blizzard, it seems that geekiness runs in the family) to get me to watch another anime, but considering it was Trigun it was a good thing I did watch it. All of it in fact, so far the only anime series which I have watched the entirety of.

I've also watched more than a few episodes of DragonBall Z. I know a lot of people make fun of this series, but it's a load of fun if you don't take it too seriously. Oh, and smoke a doobie or two while watching it, it adds a whole new perspective. :redstar2000:

That's because he is.

That is all.

The original Dragon Ball is better, IMO. DBZ focuses on fighting at the expense of everything else. DB has some ass-kicking in it, but it's balanced out- there are more jokes and an 'epic adventure'-ish feel to it. (as it was loosely based off of 'Journey to the West', the Chinese epic novel)

Also, Oolong upholds Mao Zedong Thought

No, I'm fairly sure that that was intentional. If you had watched the rest, there would just be more that you couldn't make head nor tail of. Not that it would be worth watching, it's severely overrated.


more jokes
Wouldn't this make it even worse?

[Robespierre2.0]

Wouldn't this make it even worse?I knew this was coming. No, they're of the cutesy Saturday-morning-cartoon variety, which I happen to have a soft spot for-

For example, Pilaf farting and then threatening to cut his henchman in half with a chainsaw unless he took responsibility for it...
Goku, unfamiliar with human anatomy and the concept of gender, touching the crotch of every new person he meets...
Also, one of the Red Ribbon Army generals executes one of his own soldiers for nose-picking.

Yeah, I know it's not Monty Python-esque razor wit, but I happen to like it. Piss off, snob.

As for anime series that are less embarassing to like, I enjoy Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Evangelion, Akira, et cetera...
I especially like those on the bizarre, psychedelic side- FLCL is probably my favorite so far. Any suggestions for something else like that?

[Q]

My little brother (read: he's 20) still watches Pokemon.

I liked Elfenlied, but I don't watch much anime otherwise.

[HenrikOlafson]

Bleach and Hellsing is all for me ;)

[deLarge]

FLCL is probably my favorite so far. Any suggestions for something else like that?

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan is sort of similar, in that it is hard to follow the plot, is short, and just strange. Haruhi might also fit your bill.

[Primus_Raven]

Elfen Lied



This.

[deLarge]

Elfen Lied



This.

Elfenlied is godly

[hugsandmarxism]

Elfen Lied was brilliantly fucked up. Though if you want gore and a brand new case of clinical depression, watch Saikano (http://zone-anime.com/anime/saikano.html). This beats out Elfen Lied in my opinion, though I warn you: this will make you miserable.

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

Oh yes, here's one I forgot - Excel motherfucking Saga. Obviously the product of a crack-addled mind.

[Girl A]

I love Akira (manga and anime). I thought Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop were great too, and I grew up on Studio Ghibli. :blushing:

[redSHARP]

My little brother (read: he's 20) still watches Pokemon.

I liked Elfenlied, but I don't watch much anime otherwise.

pokemon is the shit!!! i love that show. come on! state sanctioned cock fighting!!:p

actually besides the obvious exploitation, the manga was fucking great. in the manga it was perfectly legit to kill the other pokemon or trainer. it was hardcore compared to the show.

[ZeroNowhere]

My little brother (read: he's 20) still watches Pokemon.From what I remember, the show was rather disappointing compared to the (addictive as fuck, IIRC) game when I used to play it. I doubt that I would appreciate the plot any more now.

Anyways, Lain and Grave of the Fireflies (an extremely powerful movie) are both very awesome. Currently watching 'Space Runaway Ideon'. Very dark, I like it so far.

[deLarge]

Just started watching Saikano.

[FreeFocus]

Just a few:

Death Note
Code Geass (both seasons, second season sucked ass in comparison to first)
Hajime no Ippo (both seasons)
Baki the Grappler
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Soul Eater (lost interest about half-way through series though :()
Darker than Black
Elfen Lied
Ghost Hunt

Death Note is by far my favorite, followed by the first season of CG and Hajime no Ippo.

[hugsandmarxism]

Just started watching Saikano.

Tell me what you think when you've finished it.

[TheFutureOfThePublic]

Just started gettin into them but i used to watch Outlaw Star all the time and i would love to own them on dvd.I like Appleseed and am going to try a few more.Oh and i watched Dragon Ball Z constantly lol.Does anyone know any animes similar to Outlaw Star.Wer ther is a small group of main characters and you can get a bond to certain ones

[Wanted Man]

I don't watch as much anime as I used to. Code Geass was pretty cool, but the second season a lot less so. I couldn't bear to watch more than about half of Death Note, it got incredibly stupid after that point.

[Manifesto]

Shin-Chan! And many, many, many others like about everything on Adult Swim. Also Dragon Ball Z but I think most people watched that.

[FreeFocus]

I'm about to start watching Ghost in the Shell. Thoughts on it?

[Module]

I haven't watched any anime since Digimon in the mornings before school when I was like 9 years old.
I'm pretty sure the plural of anime is 'anime'. 'Animes' doesn't sound right!

[Bright Banana Beard]

I am the opposite of jellis on you.

[ZeroNowhere]

I'm about to start watching Ghost in the Shell. Thoughts on it?SAC (1 and 2, I prefer 2 somewhat) is good, I didn't really like the movies that much, though.

Anyways, Ideon was great (and Evangelion is a crappy Ideon ripoff), and Legend of the Galactic Heroes is probably the best anime I've seen so far, and is just incredibly awesome. It manages to be somehow written slightly better than Monster, human beings look human, it has a massive cast (in the first few season or so, they display the character's name the first time they pop up in each episode, and you'll probably need it) in which pretty much every character is great (an advantage of having 110 episodes), and anyone can die. Also, its soundtrack is made up of classical music (it only has one or two original pieces of music, and those are still good), which fits perfectly. One can pick up a well subbed version from Central Anime.
