Remilia Scarlet Posted December 7, 2002 Just out of curiosity, which anime do you guys like? Or do you even like anime? I personally like the following (in this order, more or less): 1. The Bubblegum Crisis 2032 (I used to have a crush on Priss). 2. Neon Genesis Evangelion. 3. Akira. 4. Urasei Yatsura (which I often refer to as Japanese Insanity). 5. Jin-Roh. 6. Ghost in The Shell. 7. Project: A-Ko. 8. Ninja Scroll. 9. Serial Experiments Lain 10. Sol Bianca. 11. The Amazing Nurse Nanako (talk about Jell-O). 0 Share this post Link to post

Dark-tenshi Posted December 8, 2002 i have only seen Neon genesis evangalion and Akira.My vote goes for Evangalion. I would recommend "Berserk".The story is about a lone swordman`s adventure who seeks revenge from the man who betrayed the swordman for his dream.there are both anime and manga.I think Manga version is better than Anime.Read it if you can find one! 0 Share this post Link to post
IMJack Posted December 8, 2002 I just finished reading Ghost in the Shell. It made only slightly more sense than the movie did. But the manga was more entertaining than the movie, IMHO. 0 Share this post Link to post
Katarhyne Posted December 8, 2002 You're a retard. Go to bed and get some sleep you deprived freak. Anyway, I've seen so much anime I think I'm turning Japanese. My favorite so far has been Darkside Blues. It's super-classic anime, check it. Other favorites: Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon (yes, I'm serious), Escaflowne, Slayers, Urusei Yatsura, Serial Experiments: Lain, Kite, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Dragon Pink (hee! Pink and I have so much in common), Inu-Yasha, Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Boogiepop Phantom, Demon City Shinjuku, Hellsing, and lastly, the Bubblegum Crash/Crisis series. Wicked-sick. 0 Share this post Link to post

Little Faith Posted December 8, 2002 I watched a swath of Slayers episodes at a boardgaming con during a long break (where I was supposed to get some sleep). They were actually pretty funny. Otherwise, nothing (besides some Pokemón, but that hardly counts). 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted December 8, 2002 I developed a case of chronic allergy to Anime after fifteen minutes of Dragonball Z. I mean, shit, there's two things that can make a cartoon compelling: good writing, or good visuals. I'll gladly watch a cartoon with good writing and crappy visuals (South Park), one with crap writing and good visuals (can't come up with one right now), or one that has both (the Simpsons). But so far every bit of anime I've seen has horrible writing AND looks like something that came out of a monkey's ass. I just don't get it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkstalker Posted December 8, 2002 I watched very few anime. Escaflowne had a good story and the visual was well done. I also watched Gundam wing when it was on tv, which also had a nice story IMHO. I've been a fan for a while of dbz but since they always replay the same episodes I stopped watching it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fletcher` Posted December 8, 2002 Zoids -old and new. I don't have the models though. Or a really big freak about it. Tenchi Universe is ok. 0 Share this post Link to post
EllipsusD Posted December 8, 2002 I didn't like Akira at first, but it kind of grew on me. Ghost in the Shell is good... but the manga is better. Neon Genesis Evangeleon is good if you want to think. Yu-Yu Hakusho and Inu-Yasha are pretty good. I've only seen part of Hack Sign, but it seems pretty good. Angelic Layer is good... if only to see Ich-chan's antics. DBZ is decent, though the original series is better, but if you want to see a fighting based anime then watch Flame of Rekka. Kenshin had it's moments, and btw, did anyone catch the Kenshin secret in Warcraft 3? The Chinese zodiac really interrests me, so I had to watch Fushigi Yugi. Gundam seems to be a popular series, but I could only really enjoy the original and G. Cowboy Beebop is good enough to be watched more than one time. Anything by Gibli Studios is good. Vampire Hunter D will always be a favorite of mine. And then there's Boogiepop Phantom. I bought this not knowing anything about it and I was very pleasantly surprised. And, Kat, I must say you are the first person I've come across who has also seen that series. Kick ass. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted December 8, 2002 Vampire Hunter D was kickass. That's about the only anime I've ever watched, unless you count DBZ. And I don't. 0 Share this post Link to post
IMJack Posted December 8, 2002 Mass-market anime is teh evil. And anime isn't a genra; it's a medium, and an under-appreciated, under-utilized one at that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted December 8, 2002 Dominion Tank Police Black Magic Ghost in the Shell Tenchi Muyo Appleseed Akira Battle Angel Alita Devilman Venus Wars Doomed Megalopolis Wicked City Some excellent titles, tho i've not bought anime in some time - with the exception of '3x3 Eyes', which Jay was dying to see again. Half the time i actually prefer the original manga - Masamune Shirow is a brilliant writer/artist covering action, thriller, comedy and fantasy (it's a shame that 'Black Magic' didn't cover the original characters that frequented the Onimal). [edit]I used to have shitloads of Zoid models as a kid; ZoidZilla, Kraark, Redhorn and tonnes of the smaller ones (the little scorpion one that was set up on the freezer; my mum shit herself when the wind-up motor kicked in and it scampered towards her :)) I've not seen the anime tho; would love to. 0 Share this post Link to post
Coopersville Posted December 9, 2002 There really isn't any anime series I like besides DBZ. I enjoy the higher quality movies like Street Fighter: Alpha and AKIRA. Still, overall I perfer independant art. 0 Share this post Link to post
Epyo Posted December 9, 2002 Never heard of any of those. I've been watching DB/DBZ for 4 years now, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
VileSlay Posted December 9, 2002 I've seen a ton of anime movies/series. my faves: vampire hunter d (haven't seen bloodlust yet though) neon genesis: evangelion urusei yatsura most of the macross series(aka robotech) most of dragonball and dragon ball z gundam/80/83/war in the pocket/8th ms team/wing/endless waltz (mobile fighter g gundam is crap IMO, and I haven't seen any others) la blue girl (good story...really!) urotsokidoji: legend of the overfiend (the end of part four was such a cop-out though) a couple of episodes of martian sucessor nadesico (funny shit) like I said before, I've seen a ton. those listed are the only ones that stand out in my head. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dark-tenshi Posted December 9, 2002 I liked Dragonball,however i got sicked of those super saiya thing in dragonball Z.and if one don`t take it too serious,sailormoon is quite amusing to watch.Still, overall I perfer independant art sometimes it`s better to read from manga instead 0 Share this post Link to post
scorpion Posted December 9, 2002 The only thing I've watched more that one episode of, is Ranma 1/2 ... he... she... uh it's cool! :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted December 9, 2002 I need to get hold of some Rumiko Takahashi manga - primarily Ranma 1/2. Anyone know if the anime is available on video in the UK? 0 Share this post Link to post
Vampirajay Posted December 9, 2002 My fav's include... 3x3 eyes Akira Monster City Urotsukidoji Devil Man Doomed Megalopolis Appleseed Battle Angel Alita Tenchi Muyo 0 Share this post Link to post

I know where you can read a fan-translation of the later volumes online (but probably considered "bookwarez," so mail me if you really want the link). You can probably get the videos off Grokster. Beware: a world of difference exists between the manga and anime, so much that it's one of the two main flamewar topics in fandom. 0 Share this post Link to post

Remilia Scarlet Posted December 10, 2002 Black Void said: [BPrincess Mananoki [/B] Isn't it "Mononoke"? Also, as for Takahashi manga, see if you can find Urasei Yatsura. I've seen the anime, and IMO that one is still way better than Ranma. And, at time, alot more too. 0 Share this post Link to post
TheHighestTree Posted December 10, 2002 Akira's the only one i'm really familier with, and i think it's damn interesting! 0 Share this post Link to post
Nanami Posted December 10, 2002 DragonballZ. Or hentai. Hentai is good. I have episodes 1-whatever number the new kid Buu tapes are in VHS for DBZ. And some movies and specials and stuff. I don't really watch anime except for that... 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted December 10, 2002 Hentai is fodder for 15 year old perverts who can't get their hands on porn with their parents looking over their shoulders. I mean, i know people who bought SF2 just to see Chun-Li's tits. Great-Big-'WTF?'. 0 Share this post Link to post
