Anime

[Downfall]

Anyone else like anime here?.........i was really into it 1st semester and then i realized i had to do work so i cut back....but i still watch it whenever i can....so far my favorites are Ghost in the shell,,movie and series, and Hellsing...oh and of course Trigun

[Yian]

This question is pretty much needless for me for I'm an Asian. In Asia, EVERYONE likes anime because we think American cartoons are too childish, American comics are always about superheros, Comics like Heavy Metal magazine never had enough money to open an Asian market, and American humor like the Simpsons was never approciate in Asis, either...

So anime was basically all we have. Don't think it's bad, because there are just so many different titles for us to watch, read, and collect their merchandise... They were great and I'm pretty good at drawing them, too. In fact, I might be one of the top penciler if you make an comparision... sounds cocky but it is true.

The reason anime is so successfully in Asia is because everyone has his or her (and almost 70% of anime artists are actually girls!) chance to become an admired artist. In America, when something became popular, people only know which company published them, but it is very different in Asia. Japanese put the lead artist's name in very big font, sort of making his/her name into a brand, and sell the menga. If the menga became very popular, they will hire a team and make it into an anime film or TV series. Lead artist basically do all the pencil and ink work at the very beginning, then just sit there and put a great deal of money into his pocket and relax...

A lot of people want to be like that, so there are a lot of competitions, and a lot of works. There has never been any shit like being manufactured like super heros. In order to be successful, all the artist put into their very best effor to come up with something unique and good. Lucky Asians!

When things like pokemon came out, we all think it was such a shame because it has no story. Thins like that usually exist only as a brand, never an animation. We all knew the thing is gonna be popular in America and it turned out we were right. Americans like manufactured goods, and the less variety the better.

[Shadow]

Ghost in the Shell and Princess Mononoke are two great films. Too bad only 30% of men are artists ... bit unequal I guess. :D

[Obscurus]

lol, dude no shit against asians but you can't say americans are the only materialistic society out there who would buy anything with a logo on it, asians are some of the most maniacal shoppers on earth. Take the Hello Kitty craze in Asia hello kity info (Rotten style) (http://www.rotten.com/library/culture/hello-kitty/) it is freaking out of hand. I agree we Americans (The majority) are prone to buying what our kids ask for, from some shit they saw on tv to anything else they ask for but we aren't the only ones. You tell me when you hear of a goddamned stampede over a fucking cat doll and then we'll talk.
kitty riot (http://www.dailyrotten.com/articles/archive/129.html)

[Obscurus]

Ghost in the Shell is always good, also Ninja Scroll (Tessai, Kegero+Shed in woods=fun...) :D, Serial experiments Lain, Trigun, Cowboy bebop (Simply great), Perfect Blue (Mind-Fuck!!), Neon Genesis and too many 2 mention!

That's true. But Hello Kitty remains as a brand and their cartoon was completely trashed by all the mature-minded Asians. Saying American do that might be a generalization because there are many people here I know have great taste too...

[IkYiolul]

Evangelion

[Obscurus]

Yian, that is all I wanted 2 hear, generalization=bad, shitty market saturation=worse!

[IkYiolul]

back to anime...does anyone else love the eva series besides me?

[Shadow]

I haven't had the chance to get into it - I hear it's quite complicated though.

[Downfall]

yeah i like the eva series..i curently "own" the entire series. It does get complicated but thats what helps set it apart from soem other animes or soem of the crap that our (american) cartoonists spew out...ala powerpuff girls and the like.......actualy i dont know who animates power puff girls but you know what i am talking about

[Yian]

eva fucked up the big time by making four different ending to suit different people's taste... but the overall is pretty damn impressive.

[Downfall]

now that i never heard about.....4 different endings.........What were they.....the only one I know of is

*SPOILER*...not really.......



the one where the entire earth is wiped clean.......

[Downfall]

on another note what anime do people own..i am thinking of beefing up my collection.....(and yes i will actually buy them if i think they are really good......like the trigun series...i my friend showed me a few he had and i was hooked and went out and got the box set)

[IkYiolul]

Lain is also good...ever heard of that series?

[Yian]

My favorite one is called Black Jack. The original menga is a series of more than 1500 stories while only less then 10 anime was produced because Japanese liked the menga better and refused to accept the snime series... but they are still good.

[wangstramedeous]

delete

[Yian]

The anime with the best story is called "The Silent Fleet." It wasn't very popular among the kids because it deals with some politics even the adults debates to each other. Again, like all successful anime, it was base on a menga series first. Only the menga series has the complete story, too...

The story is about how Japanese military were developing nuclear weapons in secrecy. One day, though, a captain of a Japanese nuclear submarine stole the submarine and the crew, with 20 nuclear warhead onboard, and declared their "independence"... He tried to wake the world from the arms race that would eventually destroy us all by threatening all the nations around the world to abandon the nuclear weapons, or he will launch the nukes he has in his hand...

All the world powers jumped on him, sending out many ships to get him. Thus began the story... how a Japanese submarine with an extremely smart captain single-handed all the fleet around the world... sounds bull shit, huh? You wont say so when you see the thing! The tactics are absolutely cunning and the diplomatic strategies are even more breath-holding then the actual naval combats!

Well, here is the spoiler for you guys sice I don't think any of you guys would have a chance to read this great sereis... at the end, American won. The Japanese captain was assassinated on his way out of the UN building, and without the caption, the submarine was fucked by a air-to-sea torpedo... (sigh)

[Downfall]

One i also like is Hellsing...yes it is action..but sometimes you just need a good action anime.......I also love the Ghost in the Shell series...the movie, the series..hell i even liked the game for the ps1.......i cant wait for the next movie INNOCENCE to come out.....lets see.....umm........Z.O.E. Dolores i was interesting.............Vampire hunter D, both moves were good.......and many others which i would have to remember later...

[Ritz-101]

I'd definetly have to recomend Evangelion, Trigun, Captain Tyler, and Ninja Scroll. These, in my opinion are probably the best ones out there now.

[Odm]

What's Evangelion about? I used to watch the anime that's popular in N. America... but that's it. Oh, and Princess Mononoke.

[future man]

take a fucking guess what its about...all thgat stupid shit has the same lame ass story line you fucking losers

[IkYiolul]

awww...Im a loser now cuz I watch anime...oh well
EMBRACE THE LOOSERNESS IN THYSELF!!!
*huggs self* awww...im such cute little looser.. *end hug*

[Yian]

future man hates anime because he cant find any to watch...!!!

[Downfall]

dont worry the rest of us still like anime....some just dont like it........so all they have to do is not become involved with it and they will be happy

[IkYiolul]

hell, thats how I always think, I hate it till I try it out...then I love it;)

[Rhenna]

Aeon Flux? Does that count? I've got two or three cassettes of that around here, (if my nephew didn't steal them), that I thought were pretty cool. I have a hard time following the story in most anime; I don't think I'm that dense, it's just that something gets lost in the translation. Even playing Shogo, there were a couple of times where I said, "What the hell are they talking about?", but then I figured Monolith did that on purpose just to make it feel, well, ..."oriental". (I don't mean anything offensive by that.)

[Ciit_Commander]

i love anime, but i never cared for Aeon Flux for some reason

[Downfall]

the only time i ever saw Aeon Flux was way back when they aired on MTV late at night

[IkYiolul]

same here, but it was kickass!...

[Downfall]

yes....yes it was........so far my curent favorite is Hellsing......(i think i already said that somewhere here but damnit ill say it again)

[IkYiolul]

cant say I've heard of it..

[Downfall]

its pretty good if you like action animes.....it does actualy have a story to go along with it..i might change my avitar to Alucard as soon as i can find one i like......

[Yian]

Akira was freaking awesome, too. I was lucky enough to meet the man who made this series (need to find out how his name is spelled in English...) in Japan, a very nice conversation ( though the translator was a bit slow...)

[Downfall]

wow..thats pretty cool....and yes Akira was a bad ass movie..it was the first anime i watched *cough*downloaded*cough*

[aphremen]

Chobits. Chobits freaking rocks! The Manga and the Anime (which, btw is available from Kazaa). Also, Cowboy Bebop etc is pretty good. DBZ can be interesting but it's one of those things where if you watch a lot it gets REALLY boring. Call me crazy but there's just something about Marmalade Boy that I like.

[future man]

WEll, I just grabbed Akira and it was great, so what? fuck you....im also really getting into that appleseed shit....it still blows moose cock.

[IkYiolul]

never seen Akira, but I've heard alot about it.
Same with manga, my roomate last year liked it alot.

one thing tho...I hate gay animes like dragonball shit...SO GAAAAAAY!
Little kids from different planets that are all nice to eachother, and fight in a ring...so GAY!

[Downfall]

yeah i got into it too because my roomate loves it. I liked it a bit during high school but the only studd i had acess to was whatever cam on cartoon network late at night(which they did edit...bastards)....then i came here .....and wow....there is so much good anime around. Hell i even asked for the Trigun Box set for christmas......and if you have never seen Akira and like anime they you will love it.....

and on a side note does anyone know where i can get some good pics of Hellsing......or more specificaly Alucard(dracula backwards:D )

[aphremen]

Download Chobits from Kazaa...you'll thank yourself later..

[Downfall]

ill try that.......if i like it it may actualy biy it.....thats what happened with trigun.......a friend showed be a couple of eppisodes.....i got a few of em...loved the series and actualy bought it(this was after i didnt get it for christmas)......kinda sucks being a college student at christmas....the only things you need or have room for is more food, drinks, or money.....mostly money

[shlumpen]

Yeah, Trigun rocks. Does anyone know if the two DVD's are the whole series or just some episodes? I'm thinking about buying them when they're released here. I've seen the Ghost in the shell movie, as well, but it wasn't nearly as good as Trigun.
Hellsing sounds like a good anime, perhaps I'll ... um, "aquire" it, if you get my drift...;D

[aphremen]

Also, it should be noted that Chobits is new. It was still on TV in japan as of june 2002! The manga is faster paced but I like the anime all the same.

[wangstramedeous]

Esclaflowen. Another great series. Anybody seen those?

[aphremen]

Eh, it's ok. As far as mecha series go, I like NGE better.

[IkYiolul]

esclaflowen? whats that about?

[Magical Fruit]

Thanks aphremen, I just checked out chobits. Pretty funny show I like it.

As far as anime goes I think that my favorite series has got to be cowboy bebop. Probably followed by Trigun and Evangelion. Are there any other series that I should check out? I remeber Escaflowna used to be on after Pokemon or something is that show worht checkin out?

Anyways guys thanks for all the recommendations.

[aphremen]

Glad to hear it :D. The ending is CRAZY stuff, episode 4 is hilarious. :)

[Downfall]

if you liked trigun you might like Hellsing( i seem to be recomending Hellsing alot lately to people)..sic pic and avitar are the main character of Hellsing

[Magical Fruit]

Ok I will try some hellsing. Uhhh...getting it now if you know what I mean.

Yeah aphremen...i watched 1-8 last night of chobits. It's really funny. Kind of a little boys fantasy, but still very good.

Hahahah oh yeah Episode 4 is the one about panties. Very Funny!

[Downfall]

Chobits is Great!........thanks aphremen:D ...nothing like akward boy meets really hot computer stories......

[Magical Fruit]

Yeah I am a new Chobits fan.

Keep the recommendations coming guys. Is there something else i cant live without?

Downfall I am trying to get Hellsing.. i got a couple but i want to start with episode 1.

[Downfall]

heres what i got ...i recomend them all

Akira

Vampire Hunter D
Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust

Ghost in the shell(the movie)

Ghost in the shell: Stand Alone Complex(the series)

Ninja Scroll...all of em

Neon Genesis....i think everyone loves this one

Zone of Enders: Dolores i (fairly good series

Zone of Enders movies

Blood the last vampire

Princess Monokie

Fatal Fury the movie...some i know dont like it but i do

and of course a lot of peoples favorite..the entire Trigun series....



oh and one more..its not really considered an anime but the HBO Spawn series is friken awsome

[Yian]

Here is a shot of my favorite Dr. Black Jack.

[IkYiolul]

wow he looks wack as shit.:D

[Yian]

maybe because it is from 35 years ago?

[Magical Fruit]

How many of you guys have seen Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind? That one is a classic.

I also love Princess Mononoke and the other one by the same guy Spirited Away. It got an academy award or something.

I noticed most of you guys are posting series, so lets get some movies in here.

I also liked the two Vampire Hunter d movies. The story was a little weak in the new one, but the way the did the action was better than anything in my opinion. Ninja Scroll is great. and a couple others I can't remember right now.

Hey is Nadesico any good??? Always seein that one on the net.

[aphremen]

It's cool but not all that good...It kinda seems like it wants to be macross, but isn't. BTW, for good prices on (sometimes bootlegged) anime, head over to Discountanimedvd (http://www.discountanimedvd.com). I bought the entire set of marmalade boy from there for $109! Granted, it's a taiwanese bootleg, but it's a really great taiwanese bootleg! :D

[edit] oh yeah, and valley of the wind is great, very dunish in the enviromental sence. Obvoisly, manga is better, and Dizney skrewed up on the dub.

[shlumpen]

I've seen the first episode of hellsing now, and it's pretty nice. Nevertheless, Trigun will always be the number one anime for me.
It's got that special something that I haven't seen anywhere else.

[Downfall]

yeah Trigun will always be the best

...i am looking for a trigun pic to add to my sig pic....im trying to have Alucard pointing his gun to the right and Vash pionting his gun the left...or vice versa....i think once i have the pics i can merge them into one...

[shlumpen]

I have a new avatar. It rocks v^^V

[Yian]

Everyone loves Trigun!

[Yian]

Is that the one that has all the big worms change their color from blue to red and started to attack the Valley of the Wind as soon as the wind dies down, almost at the end of the movies, and the girl came in saved everyone and fulfilled the prophecy? That was was great but the story was a bit of cliche.

I especially liked the scene when the man-made moster was melting away after fired a few shots, fucked up a pile of worms, then collapsed because the production was rushed... hehehe...

[Magical Fruit]

Yeah Nausicaa is something like that. I thought that it had a pretty great story. It was a post apocalyptic world where there are these spores that come and poison the air where you live. Of course where the spores come there are also huge insects so it makes it interesting. It had some great stuff in it. It is also pretty old as far as anime goes as well.

Ok guys go watch Chobits....I have watched them all. I feel empty inside now because the story is over.

[Magical Fruit]

Arrgg this thread is dead now!! What's up with that???

Anyway I just finished watching the Cowboy Bebop movie....damn that was good. Bebop is my favorite anime. Come on guys what else is good?

Started watching Hellsing... it is ok so far doesnt have the quality that some of the other animes have though.

Chobits is very cool.

Evangelion is great till the end. WTF is going on there? I dont get the last like 3 episodes.

[aphremen]

Well, have you seen EoE? It will explain all. Don't give up hope on chobits, the time is ripe for them to make an Original Video Animation, or even a full blown movie. Good lord I love the ending though, just thinking of it brings a tear to my eye again. :(

[Yian]

Thread dies, and new threads are born... no big deal... It is not important to keep a thread going.

[aphremen]

Yeah, every time a thread goes Nova, a new thread is born.

[Yian]

Speaking of Nova, don't you guys hate the fact that StarCraft Ghost isn't for PC?

[aphremen]

Yeah, fps belongs on pc. In spite of how good it'll look on gamecubs and x-box, it won't be as nice as it would on PC. Plus the text will be hard to read on my TV.

[Yian]

StarCraft Ghost isn't a fps though. It is more like MGS.

[Downfall]

Well i just finished Chobits....nice series....way different that what i usualy watch......Trigun, hellsing, Ninja scroll..and the like......it was pretty cool....

@shlumpen..i used to have that avitar too...mine was a little more close up on the face though and a bit more bright.

@everyone who knows about Evangelion....is it true that they made different endings for that series because some peole didnt liek the way it ended?

[shlumpen]

@Downfall: I'm currently testing new avatars to see if I can find a good one. I think this one is quite nice.

[Downfall]

anything Trigun is good:D

this is what i used to use

[Downfall]

ok heres another one for ya........(sorry another series)

the entire .hack series

there awsome

.hack//SIGN eppisodes 1-26

.hack//DUSK - Legend of Twilights Bracelet 1-12

.hack//LIMINALITY 1-4(which run along with the events of the entire .hack series i think)

there are also 4 games that will be realeased to go along with it.

[Beniniah]

New guy on the block here. Thought I would add a name or two to the favorite anime mix.

Wind Called Amnesia
My Friend Totoro
Legend of Galactic Heroes
Riding Bean
Bau (sp)
Record of the Lodoss Wars

ps. <----- Actually saw Akira on the "Big Screen"

[aphremen]

Have you read the manga version of Star wars? No? at least seen it at borders? Still no? come on, borders is as mainstream as possible....anyways, a star wars anime would be freaking awesome, especially the lightsaber duels.

[Downfall]

that would be pretty cool if they got the right people to make it. I think the people who make the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series would be good for it. they use a mix of animation with CG





Also...does anyone know if there is more that 13 eppisodes of Hellsing....Like another season or something?...and if there is .....does anyone know when they would be *available*

[Obscurus]

So far everyone has mostly mentioned action oriented anime, and most of the recommendations are great. I gotta say that I have not seen many thrillers or psychological themed ones mentioned here. The first time I saw "Perfect Blue", I was blown away and had to see it a second time and again. I can only compare it to Cape Fear with a fucked up twist at the end. My other recommendation has to be "Serial Experiments Lain" which is another great psychological mind-bender.

[Hitman]

Ninja Scroll has to be the best anime ever.. my 2 cents.

[Downfall]

that is some pretty good stuff.....

On a side note

Does anyone know where i can get episodes of Zone of the Enders Dolores i 15-the end of the series?

I tried Kaza light and google and i fugure morpheus or any of those would be crapy anyway

[aphremen]

You should take a look around on the anime distro channels on IRC. Lots of peeps have DCC servers set up on there.

[Magical Fruit]

I just finished Hellsing and watched Perfect Blue last night. Pretty sweet stuff. Also I watched all of the Nadesico episodes this week. That show is sweet...good action and totally hilarious.

Also you can try to use bit torrent to download anime.. just started using it. It seems to be pretty cool, and semi legal stuff.

[RADiator]

Did someone say anime?

[RADiator]

[RADiator]

[Obscurus]

Hey RAD, we said anime not hentai! ;)

[RADiator]

Originally posted by Obscurus

[Magical Fruit]

Hey all of you anime junkies should check out this stuff if you havent yet. http://www.animesuki.com/. It has downloads for tons of unliscensed anime...and most of it is really good. I was watching one called Last Exile...very neato. There is also a Ninja Scroll Tv series that looks pretty sweet, though I only saw the first two.

Another Recommendation:
If you can handle the cute stuff check out Azumanga Daioh...very funny and cool.

[Downfall]

if you guys like mech and a actual story...well sotra......then check out an anime called Full Metal Panic

[aphremen]

Is it anything like NGE?





*Spoiler*








Didn't you just love the part in NGE when you find out that the EVA units aren't actually machines but in fact are clones of "angels"? So great.

[Magical Fruit]

If you like EVA you should try RaXephon... It is kind of an EVA ripoff, but it has an interesting story line.

[Downfall]

bump for a good old thread

[Digital Limit]

Should I take the time to download the Ghost in the Shell series?

From what I've seen, it's pretty awesome.

[Downfall]

yes, yes you should. while the series folows along with the movies wiht the lots of dialogue thing, there is alsot lots of action to acompany it and the second season actualy explains a lot more about the world that it takes place in and how it got to be that way.

[san_pali]

When it's coming the second episode of hellsing's ovas?

the first one kicked ass!

[Downfall]

as for that I have no idea :(

the first OVA did indeed kick ass

[xenophage]

Is Appleseed a good anime or is it gay-nime? I got Ghost in a Shell, Full Metal Alchemist, Hellsing, Bleach (sp?) and some other shit at office. Which one's are worth watching?

Btw is Advent Children considered anime?

[Downfall]

Advent Children:Last Order is anime, the movie is CGI.


there are 2 Appleseed movies. one old school one that i havnt seen that is anime and a newer one that is cgi that I have seen which has a good plot and lots of interesting visuals.


and all of those you lsited that you got at your office are good. FMA might get a bit slow in the middle but it picks back up.

Bleach is my current favorite anime to keep up with.

[Jwr5]

Is Cowboy Bebop any good?

[Downfall]

yup, and is one of those series that you dont have to watch in order to understand most of it.

if you end up liking cowboy bebop you would probably also like Outlaw Star.

[Jwr5]

just watched a bunch of cowboy bebop episodes and i must say it is very good. Best anime ive seen in a while.

[Downfall]

you will love the ending :D

the movie they made of it was prety much just an extended episode that can fit anywhere in the plotline in my opinion

[san_pali]

you will love the ending :D

the movie they made of it was prety much just an extended episode that can fit anywhere in the plotline in my opinion

Hell yes, the best motherfucking ending of all times.

And the movie was pretty good in my opinion.

Now, seeing that you commented about Outlaw Star....is it as good as cowboy bebop? (Have in mind that i loved the ending of cowboy so much that i have The Real Folk blues in my ipod :D )

[Downfall]

id say if cowboys bebop was a 10 out of 10 then outlaw star would be an 8 out of 10.

good action, weapons and character development.

[san_pali]

ok. And how many chapters are? i like something along the 20-ish, series like dragon-three-fucking-hundred-episodes-ball:D can't be enjoyed by someone with so little free time like me :(

[Downfall]

26 eppisodes

[Digital Limit]

I just bought both movies and both seasons of S.A.C.

Hopefully it's some good shit. $50 out of my pocket 'cause I'm too lazy to torrent it.

[karny]

I just finished watching the Gun Grave series... I don't know if it's the cold i have right now or if it was just a well written ending. But i actually got choked up nearly to crying at the end. I'm serious by the way, aparently i'm more human than i thought.

[Downfall]

i loved that series as well. I happened to like the begining part where everyone was human a lot more, but overall it was a great anime.

[xenophage]

I hope it picks up cos i'm on episode 8 (Family) and I'm not seeing much action. And what the fuck is up with Japanese and obnoxious voices, especially that annoying prick who used to work with Brandon in the betting parlor

[Downfall]

action will come....lots of it

[Hobbes874]

Anyone ever watch "Golden Boy"? By far the funniest shit I've ever seen and only 6 episodes :(

[Downfall]

it made me laugh a good bit

[xenophage]

Wtf is up with Bleach? Either I don't get it or my sense of humor is dead

[Digital Limit]

Watched the first season of Ghost in the Shell. Good shit.

I'd like to watch Innocence (the sequel to the film), but it's only in Japanese.

Anyone know of a dubbed version?

[RAY16]

I'm really enjoying Ergo Proxy. That is all.

[Digital Limit]

Argh!

The package set I got off of Ebay was a bit misleading, dropping me with half of my shit in Japanese!

Both Innocence and 2ndGIG are in Japanese... and subtitles blow ass.

Looks like I'm forced to buy 1,000 volumes for second season and a dubbed version of Innocence.

Anyone want my Japanese shizzle for $25 shipped?

Then again, I may just 'acquire' them all and use the cases for them. Blargh!

[Downfall]

you should have read the fine print :P


yes there are dubed version of innoncence on sale anywhere they sell anime

[No Soul]

I've been watching anime and reading manga for the last week and now I'm starting to crash. All I have left of anime is: 2 or 3 teen dramas (Fullmoon kind of seems interesting...), Negima (the manga is awesome, now I get to watch it), FMP: Second Raid (see below), Chobits, Gundam Seed Destiny (yea I'm not sure I want to watch this), and the rest of Burst Angel.

Comments so far:

Elfen Lied = awesome.

FMP: I want to punch Chidori in the face.

After watching and reading all of Azumanga for the 7th time, I'm convinced that this shares the spot as my most favorite anime/manga ever (GTO is greatness).

BA: Jo deserves to die for playing the godlike female character...so far...

Berserk: I can't find any episodes that go beyond the near rape episode.

Naruto: When the fuck is this "season" going to end? The creator or someone said that this season (the one right now) was going to be all filler. Never read the manga.

Bleach: This whole thing with Bounto is weird. Ishida sucks. Never read the manga.

[RAY16]

Berserk: I can't find any episodes that go beyond the near rape episode.


The Anime only goes up to around Volume 13 of the Manga, if you want to continue the story you'll have to read the Manga from now on.


Naruto: When the fuck is this "season" going to end? The creator or someone said that this season (the one right now) was going to be all filler. Never read the manga.


Indeed. I'm close to just abandoning the show if they don't stop with the fucking filler soon.


Bleach: This whole thing with Bounto is weird. Ishida sucks. Never read the manga.


I don't really care much for the Bounto arch, but at least it hasn't turned into Naruto...yet. Hopefully they get on with the main storyline after this, same for Naruto.

If you want something that will make your brain explode, watch Serial Experiments Lain.

[Downfall]

zegapain is one i was watching a while ago

melehcholy of harumi zuma (sp?) is interesting and very scrabmled

The third is interesting

what else....i usyaly find stuff i like by downloading random ones and finding otu if i like em or not that way

but yeah.naruto needs to quit with fillers forever

Well I found out the answer to my Naruto question, what a bitch. I'll check out Lain as soon as I finish with some other acquisitions.

I forgot about one anime, anyone who hasn't seen FLCL a.k.a. Furi Kuri must watch at least the first episode...out of the 6.

those 6 kick more ass than many of the 100 some eppisode series out there.

Which is a shame that there wasn't more than 6. It could've at least broke double digits.

samurai deeper kyo is an interesting one as well.

Speaking of Samurai, Samurai Champloo came out pretty good with the hip-hop influence. Problem is there isn't much to the main part of the story.

For a good teen romance/drama, there's Suzuka. Cliched characters is the only real bring down.

Ranma 1/2 maybe old but still great anime. Curses, half-humans half-animals, and a guy that can change into a chick with just some cold water. This has everything.

So, anyone watching Naruto still?

Haven't seen it since the filler started... has it ended?

And has Tsubasa Chronicle started again?

I loathe Naruto and One Piece and all that other shit. With a passion.

What I do like, however, is Paranoia Agent. Anyone else seen it?

The filler is still going strong. I'm praying that they get back onto the main story when they hit episode 200, else I will abandon the series...at least until I get word from people more masochistic than me that the filler has ended.

[No Soul]

All the hardcore Naruto people are expecting it to end around episode 209, which without a delay would be November 1st for us and the sub release. I went ahead and went through some of the manga and found out that the first few (or last few before that date, don't know) episodes are going to seem like fillers, but noticeably different.

has Tsubasa Chronicle started again?
