rawr! Anyone into anime?

[Jaradcel]

Well, anyone? ^_^;;;

[PIE]

I'm not an expert... but i've seen my share...

[yetshi]

i work for one of the largest complete series only anime bittorrent trackers in the world.

[Basilisco]

I like anime, but i keep it low profile. Ya know, i can't be a computer-geek/linux-zealot AND a anime friki in public

[duhkha]

Animes are not my favorites but there are two i love.
Ghost in the shell 1 and 2.

[Howitzer]

Hehe, i LOVE School Rumble and FMP:Fumoffu..
I just can't download a lot of anime since i'm on a 10gb bandwith maximum per month

Anybody care sending me a DVD with School Rumble Semester 1 x 2?

Fullmetal Alchemist.. FLCL.. Eureka seveN.. Neon Genesis Evangelion -- Most definitely! (Ahah)

[Ksempac]

I m a huge fan of anime.

Although it's hard to choose among all the series i watched, here is an attempt to make a top 10 list :

- Samurai Seven
- Monster
- FLCL
- Ninja Scroll
- Jin-roh
- Last Exile
- GITS SAC
- Gungrave
- Jungle wa itsumo hale no guu
- FMP : Fumoffu

[Juno]

anime?



aint that like, cartoon porn?

[PIE]

- Ninja Scroll

Can someone tell me why ninja scroll seems to make everyone's list? I saw it and I thought it was one of the most retarded movies ever... the stupid woman gets captured and raped every 30 seconds.. she never helps out.. it was annoying.

- Full Metal Alchemist

... the ending was lame.. the whole second half of that series just seemed to loose focus.. once they had the stone.. it didn't really go anywhere else.

- GITS SAC

liked GITS SAC A LOT!!. 2nd act was allright, but when they got to the episode where they basically said americans are stupid... it just all went down hill from here..

my list o goodness:
Jin Roh
Akira
FLCL
Robotech (macross)
Vampire Hunter D
Rojin Z
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex (NOT Second act!)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (the ending was very bad, but the trip to the ending makes it on this list)

... not all that long.. there seemes to be a lot of crappy anime, blah anime, or anime that has a horrible ending.

EDIT:

anime?

Hentai is like cartoon porn... no.. anime is when you have a group of peopl e who take animation too seriously.

Great stuff from everyone.

I agree with some of those.

Personal faves of mind in no particular order

Samurai 7
Jin-Roh (Absolutely rocks, and it's no surprise I'm seeing it on so many of you guys lists)
GITS (movie + TV)
Boys Be (A very old anime but one of the most realistic romance ones I've had the pleasure of watching)
Anything (And I mean ANYTHING) by Makoto Shinkai (Hoshi no Koe, The Place Promised in our Early Days, and the upcoming 5cm per second)
Haibane Renmei
Honey and Clover (One of the rare shows where I just can't stop crying)
Kino's Travels

I'm sure there's more in my head but I can't think of any more *laughs*

Things I like bt wouldn't list as on my top 10 sort of list

- Full Metal Panic Fumoffu
- School Rumble season 1. Season 2 has been very "meh" so far.
- Ouran Host Club (Possibly *THE* anime of the season next to Suzumiya Haruhi, which I dislike)
- Utawarerumono (The song that you sang)
- Trinity Blood (although my Kinokuniya worker keeps trying to convince me that the novels are better, but hey if I can't read it....)



*laughs* I'm a self-confessed combined anime lover, game lover, computer semi-techie.

I have no life.

[Odin]

I'm only into anime if it includes large breasts.

[phaedrus]

What about tentacle monsters?

(Casual anime fan.  I like what I've seen, and have a decent bit sitting in my netflix queue, but don't consider myself a fanboi.)

anime = soft core porn.

bit tits and shit story.

are we spelling anime right? the Google spell checker doesn't like it...

[Ksempac]

- Full Metal Alchemist

... the ending was lame.. the whole second half of that series just seemed to loose focus.. once they had the stone.. it didn't really go anywhere else.

I never put FMA in my list O_o.
FMP isn t FMA

Akira

I like the books...the anime doesnt come even close to the quality of the books

Neon Genesis Evangelion (the ending was very bad, but the trip to the ending makes it on this list)

Aaaaaaaaaaargh...i was wondering who will be the first to speak about this one. I hate it...Shinji is probably the most retarded hero in anime history its like "no i wont pilot it, no i wont pilot Eva, no i wont pilot it, ok i will" and you know he will do it from the beginning. This lasts for 20 episodes. Its supposed to be "character grown-up", in order to pretend Evangelion is not only about action. If you want an anime with real psychology and believable characters go for Monster (although its absolutly not the same type of anime)
About the end...i cant stand a single minutes of the last 2 episodes of Evangelion who dont make sense at all (i love the guys on the Internet who pretend they ve found the hidden meaning of that and just say BS for 2 pages)

... not all that long.. there seemes to be a lot of crappy anime, blah anime, or anime that has a horrible ending.

Yup the quest for good anime is a long and hard road XD

[DarkRogue]

My anime favs:

AKIRA - common you wankers that didn't list it, you know it's a staple.

Guyver - not the live action crap.

They were 11 - Really screws with a persons head.

MD Geist - A nice mixture of sci fi and Fantasy

Vampire Hunter D - The original not the remake.

Princess Mononoke -Interesting story line.

Nausicca/WArriors of the Wind - Again an interesting storyline

Orion - It's old as the hills but again a great story.

Light Years - Old as the hills again and common it features a super giant brain that has to be killed in the past

[Jaradcel]

Dark: I think you just gave your age away with the number of raelly old titles on your list

Whoa can you link me to They were 11? Sounds interesting.


FMP = Full Metal Panic which is != to FMA = Full Metal Alchemist

I've had that one shoved down the throat of a clueless announcer at a anime con I've been to (don't even get me started on that one)

--

KSem:

I think my vote for "most annoying bastard hero ever" goes to another anime, but it was so bad it's been blocked from my mind in horror.

All I can remember about it is, the main hero is a complete dickweed jerk for almost the entire series. Something seems to niggle at ".hack//: legend of twilight bracelet" (The one with Kite as the main hero) but that does't seem to be it. Nor is it ".hack//roots" which I'm currently watching (although the main character's also a bit of a jerk... what is it with ,hack and jerks?) so it's prob. not .hack... I just can't remember what show it was.

[DarkRogue]

heh yeah I saw some of them (Orion/Light Years) before I ever really got into Anime/manga/hentai but they stuck with me. Sadly both are from an age when you had beta machines so finding these movies in a playible format these days are near non existant. Pity too, Orion had this whole MAsters of the Universe/Star Wars vibe, gorey as all hell too

http://www.animetric.com/tuv/they.html = They were 11 review

- Full Metal Alchemist

I never put FMA in my list O_o.
FMP isn t FMA

WTF then!
I know FMP isn't FMA..  I don't have any idea what happened just then.. I suspect conspiracy... or I was quoting the guy above you and it got messed up somehow..

Princess Mononoke is pretty good actually...

[Jaradcel]

Mononoko Hime is the anime where the girl rode a wolf, right?


That reminds me of another great anime - Wolf's Rain. ^_^;;;


Dark: EGADS BETAMAX? -_-;;;;

[DarkRogue]

yeah, back when pong was around being just about 3 decades old you remember some of the really old crap

[dormedas]

My anime favs:

AKIRA - common you wankers that didn't list it, you know it's a staple.

Guyver - not the live action crap.

They were 11 - Really screws with a persons head.

Nausicaa/Warriors of the Wind - Again an interesting storyline

Orion - It's old as the hills but again a great story.

Light Years - Old as the hills again and common it features a super giant brain that has to be killed in the past

Nice list
On the Akira bit, is this Akira the movie, with the weird mind powers, and the "bloat-guy."

I liked Akira, Nausicaa, and Princess Mononoke, umm, for series:

FLCL - the robot is cool!

Bleach - For those who dont know, it's gonna be airing on Adult Swim soon enough, the first 14 ep's are liscenced by VIZ, but you can get all the currently 94 episodes at http://www.bleachportal.net/

[Jaradcel]

Dark:

They were 11 looks interesting (if terribly old) I think there waws another show recently that did something similar, but I can't remember the name.

Titles like those make me feel like they're samurai slasher flicks.



Dorme:

My turn. Aahhh I was wondering when someone was gonna bring up Naruto or Bleach. I used to like them, but now their filler episodes are just so freakin' boring (and badly drawn) that I've actually gone over and begun reading manga just to get my proper fix of the things. Thankfully, Naruto is finally getting back to the "main" arcs with episode 200. After a freakin year of fillers. OTL

-----


hmmm has anyone seen/heard of this show called Memories? (Not Memories Off, Memories)

It's a 3 part OVA done by some people, rather old too I believe. I think the first episode was aclled Brilliant Rose or something. That's one of my favorite episodes - Space junk collectors find a very old wreck and explore it, only to find that they're exploring the ghost graveyard of a famous singer, whose spirit lives on in the ship through her holographic powers (It's really quite creepy to walk down an illusioned normal hallway and then fall into a pit of water)

Umm, Bleach is about to get better, the Kariya guy of the Bounto is gonna be taken down by Byakuya, I think. Yeah, but Bleach is cool, I own all 94.

I know Memories and really enjoyed it (although Magnetic Rose was a bit too nostalgic for me)

Note : It was made by the creator of Akira

Yeah, I know the manga was probably better (I think all movies save maybe the Lord of the Rings trilogy botch the book version) but as the first 'true' japanese animation I ever saw it kinda stuck with me as a favourite.

The bloating section was kinda freaky....'Akiras' girlfriend gets crushed inside him almost instantly but his ganger buddy survives twice as long and manages to escape

[Stof]

Strange, most of the anime I've enjoyed are missing here. Anyway :

- Slayers. Who doesn't like Slayers? Be it the series, the OAV or the movies!
- Last Exile <= must see!
- Scrapped Princess. At least an anime series with 0 filler! Not a signle boring episode, except maybe the very last episodes which were of slightly lower quality than the rest.
- Full Metal Panic : Fumoffu
