A list of my fav animes, series or film is:
Tri-gun
Cowboy Be Bop
Orphen
Akira
Vampire Hunter D
Ghost in the Shell
Full Metal Panic

But the best anime of all time... Samurai Pizza Cats!

[pug]

mmm Trigun and cowboy bebop those are some of my favourites, and i love the music in them. Ohh and ghost in the shell such beautiful animation ahh and same with Akira. BUT i hate orphen its so streotypical i like the opening for it though, is cool.

Rurouni Kenshin
FLCL
Flame of Recca
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun

[Mort]

Full Metal Panic's not bad. It has some real good moments in it. But a lot of its just realy stupid and used for those overly horny japanese artists to draw pantie shots.

GUYVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Tri*gun and Cowboy beebop are cool, ...though Akira(which started great) and Ghost in the Shell are just a bit too faffy. :rolleyes:
Eeesh i`ve got so many to watch....*can`t be arsed*

Samurai Pizza Cats...
Oooh yeah!
Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?
Samurai Pizza Cats...
Right on!
They're stepping out crime, and you know that ain't balony

There's Speedy Cerviche,
he's the leader of the bunch
[That's right!]
A heck of a fighter
makes a heck of a lunch.

And little Polly Esther
who's never afraid
That's me!
of going into battle
when the bad guys invade.

Here's Guido Anchovis
a wild romantic rover.
This cat gets down down
with a love hangover

Here come the Pizza Cats.
They're so bad.
They've got more fur than any turtle ever had!

They're stronger than old cheese...
[Stronger than old cheese.]
Stronger than dirt...
[Stronger than dirt.]
Step on their tails...
[Get off my tail!]
And you're gonna get hurt...
[Don't hurt me!]
Samurai Pizza Cats...
They're fighting crime
All over town!

Four... Three... Two... One...
The Pizza Cats are on the run!

The Big Cheese is the villain,
who's lower than low.
It's a rotten shame
he lives in Little Tokyo.
We've got a nasty Bad Bird
and some nasty Ninja Crowes.
As soon as someone finds the script
we might begin the show.
Sit back and rest your feet
and turn the sound up high.
And if you want the full effects
go eat a pizza pie!
Hahaha!

Whoooo~! :D I couldn't remember the song for the life of me. But I wouldn't want to hear it again though. ^_^()

Anyway, on the topic of anime, the only one listed that I really really like was Flame of Recca, but Trigun was still good.

I watched too many anime to name but ones that I think you guys would like are DNAngel, DNA^2, Tokyo Underground, Spiral, and Mantantei Loki Ragnarok. I used to borrow anime but now I d/l it (using that bittorrent program that I told ya to d/l, Noodles).

Every british kid knows the words to The Poddington Peas.


And Pug, thats not Full Metal Panic, I havent got a clue what it is. But Full metal Panic is like a Mech anime, probably designed for the mid teens.

[Sole Silenzioso]

Tenshi no Escaflowne is awesome *_______*

[pug]

OH DNAngel i read the manga a few years ago DNA^2. oh how i used to love manga scanlations. I am sort of over my anime phase i don't really watch it anymore, so much of it is so badsooo bad. i used to download it like crazy though.
When i was a young un i watched this really bad anime about this guy who plays guitar with his worn out band to defeat an evil alien force trying to conquer the world. itwas bad

[glasskite]

I watched really kiddie anime. Doraemon etc.

I only know the chinese names of most of them though.

[lillilasiangurlie]

When i was a young un i watched this really bad anime about this guy who plays guitar with his worn out band to defeat an evil alien force trying to conquer the world. itwas bad

That's a weird storyline. o_O My sister likes band-related manga/anime. Especially the shounen-ai type like Gravitation. Kaikan Phrase wasn't bad either.

Hehe kiddy anime...yeah Doraemon must've been widely translated. Because when I went back to Vietnam, little kids were watching it everywhere with voiceovers. I thought Popolocrois was interesting.

I'm kinda on again, off again with anime. When I'm not watching anime, I'm usually watching Japanese dramas or movies.

[jaja]

my favourite anime is cowboy bebop
perfect blue
blood the last vampire
jin- roh not so much of the stroy but the animation is
amazing. worth a watch.
ghost in shell
spirited away actually most of hayao miyazaki's anime
are excellent. can't wait till his next project.
inu- yashu
akria
metropolis
trigun. :D

[San]

I love the anime made by Hayao Miyazaki ! so good, really.

That name is always coming up. :) I love them. brings back childhood memories.

[itstentotwelve]

does anime stand for anything?
i don't like it btw- it's a type of japanese drawing, right? like in kill bill or pokemon?

[glasskite]

anime = animation??

when was kill bill an animation?

Its technically manga we talk about half the time anyway.

ok sorry- you know that bit in kill bill with lucy liu as a child avenging her parent's death?? wasn't that anime?

[glasskite]

not seen it sorry.

[Noodles]

Well I think whats now regarded as Japanese style animation, was originally influenced by European stuff, notably French. Anime means animate in French. Anime is the cartoons. Manga is the drawings and comics. :)

[Killing In The Name]

Is full Metal Panic that one with the robot lady with pink hair and the opening with the pink hair lady and LOADs of undies and naked robot lady? geez i hate those naked animes specially ninja scroll hateahteahtaethaeha AHH.

Woah woah woah! I thought ninja scroll was a fantastic anime, and considering the amount of hentai in most other animes with an '18' rating, ninja scroll was quite tame.

[Mort]

Yes that was an Anime.

[tjej]

Neon Genesis Evangelion <3

Spirited Away is probably the best Anime film out there at the moment.

[glasskite]

Woah woah woah! I thought ninja scroll was a fantastic anime, and considering the amount of hentai in most other animes with an '18' rating, ninja scroll was quite tame.
Thats very true.

[Noodles]

Thats very true.


You should check out Legend of the Overfiend ...my friend got it from cash converters for 2 squid....tentacle rape all over the shop (O_o)

[pug]

Alot of people seem to like Ninja Scroll, i just cant appreciate something with such a disgusting rape scene which really didn't need to be there.
hahahaa oh my and someone mentioned Gravitation I watched the oav and it freaked me out, made me laugh alot. Mm and spirited Away I love that film so beaauutiful.

[glasskite]

I think one of my friends got given it by an unsuspecting relative when they were younger.... no wonder hes a bit messed up! :LOL:

thanks for the explanation
well have fun talking about anime and manga- bye now

[Don't Feed The Ducks]

I'm asking Princess Mononoke for my birthday :D
Never seen it, but it's Ghibli so it must be good ^_^

[dumpenguin]

Hahahahaha! yes! more people who like anime and manga and aren't my weird friends that got me sucked into it in the first place. lol. I love Angel Sanctuary, Esca, Perfect Blue, Inu-Yasha, Pet Shop of Horrors and so forth. Sadly I own very little manga/anime because I just borrowed it all off friends because I'm too cheap to buy it. lol.

And 'classic' kiddies tv too. yay!

Have any of you heard of Blue Monday? It's an American manga. I quite like it, anyone else?

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Tenchi Muyo!!
...Only one I've seen. :(
Also I know someone who bears a striking resemblence to Tenchi.... Mmmm.

[Ayumi]

Astroboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, savvy? :D

[lillilasiangurlie]

I received "Grave of the Fireflies" on DVD and finally got around to watching it. It took a lot to not to cry a lot during it. @_@

[Drunk muser]

cowboy be bop rocks!
so does love hina. and black jack. and anything by hayao miyazaki. and ghost in the shell. and yu-gi-oh when bakura's in the episode :p

[Puppetmaster]

*bumps another thread*

I've been binge-watching anime lately.

Managed to watch Trigun three times in the course of two month. :stunned: :$ Nyaa.

Awwwwh Totoro :happy:

Vampire Hunter D was very pretty and fun to watch cause every time anyone said "Layla" I jumped slightly. T'was also a littly silly.

Kenshin was also pretty, but a bit too Japanese (read: low-key and daft) at times.

Both GITS movies pwned. Some amazing scenes in the second one.

Bebop I've seen before, and it's still one of my all-time faves. The movie kinda sucked, though.

Probably gonna start NGE next week. About time, too.

Oh and I found a 'best animated movie' thread while searching for this one but didn't bump it cause it's stupid. I'd just like to say that the best animated movie of all times is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog_in_the_Fog.

[Mort]

Good choice Tri-Gun rules.

I wish they'd make a full on Battle Royale anime. That would just be pure awsomeness.

[Puppetmaster]

Good choice Tri-Gun rules.


-Say, what do you need that gun for?
-...I INTEND TO USE IT FOR WORLD PEACE.

:p <33

[siblers]

Not seen many but my faves are, Graveyard of the fireflies, Metropolois and The Cowboy Bebop film. I have Akira on DVD but not seen it yet and I will be getting the Cowboy Bebop series collection today or tommorow. I'll probably get Ghost in the Shell as well as it's quite cheap.

Oh, Bebop the series is much better.

Spike is shexual. :yesey:

[siblers]

Spike is a hero!

[Puppetmaster]

Spike is a sex symbol.

[Peroxide Pixie]

I've only seen Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Legend of the Overfied and some other very dodgy one with girls in space with lots of monsters 'after' them....they are certainly interesting :D

[Puppetmaster]

I was gonna watch Akira but the trailer scared me. :stunned: Looks well ugly. :unsure:

[siblers]

Is the 2nd ghost in the shell film any good? You can buy it together with the first for around £12

[YellowSphere]

I think it's better than the first one. :) Like I said, lots of visually stunning scenes.

It is exceptionaly fucked up. Even for an anime. The manga is even mroe so.

Have you seen Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D ?

[Puppetmaster]

Have you seen Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D ?

Seen both. Hated Ninja Scroll the first time around cause of the sex scenes (I hate cartoon sex) and thought all the bloodshed looked silly. But it's grown on me after a couple of times.

D (Bloodlust) is prettyful. :happy: A bit too low-key and straightforward for my liking, though. I badly wanted D and Layla to get it on but all they could manage was "friendship." Meh. :indiff: Also, the hand tried to hard to be funny but just failed every time.

[Simno]

I'm quite a commercial anime fan I think really but my favourite series are:
Tenchi OVA and Universe (bloody hate "in Tokyo")
Escaflowne,
Gundam Wing,
DBZ (love the Cell saga teh mostest!!1!1one!)
and
CHOBITS man that series just makes me laugh a lot :D

[glasskite]

I wish they'd make a full on Battle Royale anime. That would just be pure awsomeness.
Have you read the slightly fucked up manga? Its so much better than the film.

I'm trying to get round to watching FullMetal Alchemist, Bleach, Hellsing, Fate/Stay Night, basically stuff my brother has got.

All I seem to do these days is sit around waiting for anime to download.
I seems to be addicted to the CLAMP stuff too, like Tsubasa Chronicles, xxxHolics, Chobits. Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, Cardcaptor Sakura - really girly stuff heh.

DeathNote seems to be proving pretty damn awesome at the moment though. Read the manga of that if you get the chance.

http://tvlinks.50webs.com/index.html

This website has some anime on it. I've heard a lot of people talking about Cowboy Bebop, so I'm going to watch some on there and see if I like it.

Has anyone watched Paranoia Agent?

[pira]

Oooh, I found volume 1 of the Chobits manga, it must have been behind my desk for ages! :eek:

So now I want to watch the anime again. I'm just afraid the 2nd ending song (Ningyo Hime) is going to be stuck in my head again. I just know I'll accidentally start singing it. Last time I sang it for ages. Well, parts of it, cause I never bothered to learn it properly. :erm:

[glasskite]

You can get the anime off torrents.

And all the chapters of the manga here (download 2 at a time max): http://www.stoptazmo.com/chobits/

[pira]

I only have the first 48 chapters of the manga. The first volume was the only one I bought, but seeing as it's too expensive here, I never bothered to buy more.

Downloaded all the anime ages ago though, when I knew nothing about torrents. I have no idea how I got them back then, odd. Must have been Direct Connect or something. :confused:

[Puppetmaster]

Watched Bebop again. Everyone died this time around as well. :(

[Mort]

I own and have read all but the last two books. The next time i go into the city I'll finaly buy them. Tis been ages since I got it.
But yeah, the mangas are amazing. So much story. it's why an anime series would be so good. It would last for ages.

[glasskite]

Means you've read all the utterly crazy scenes with Hardcore Souma yes? How on earth would they put that to anime I just don't know...

The Chobits anime is really bad.

Hah you ain't seen the rest of the CLAMP stuff. Generally quite slow going - Tsubasa and xxxHolics are downright tedious in places, and the characters are horribly stick like. But I got sucked into the stories, so I'm still watching... :(

What is that anime?

[YellowSphere]

What is that anime?CCS is fantastic, I've not seen any other CLAMP anime, but I like all their manga I've read. There's quite a lot of crossover between their stuff though, which can get confusing/annoying.

And that anime is Azumanga Daioh, perhaps the most well known anime series on the internet (whether in Japan or the West), though Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu isn't far behind.

[glasskite]

I love CCS but I think that might be their best anime wise. I think the crossovers are partly why I like their manga.

I might check that one out, I tend to like comedy/slice of life stuff.

Thinking about this, there isn't a manga thread on this board is there?

[siblers]

You shouldn't use Torrents, the chance of you getting caught for ilegal downloading are ever increasing and they primarily catch people through torrents.

[YellowSphere]

You shouldn't use Torrents, the chance of you getting caught for ilegal downloading are ever increasing and they primarily catch people through torrents.Unless it's unliscenced in the West in which case such downloading is perfectly legal. Also, unless you're torrenting gigs and gigs a day, nothing is going to happen. Anime DVDs are often woefully expensive if you want the whole series :C

[glasskite]

Indeed. There seems to be so few anime series that are licenced in the UK and europe, I wouldn't get the chance to buy let alone watch most of the stuff I do if it wasn't for fansub groups. Ditto for manga.

And say someone does catch you for illegal downloading, it'll be cheaper to go out and buy what you can get in this country and claim its for backup rather than go through whatever lawsuit. Anything else when it comes to anime isn't illegal.

[Mort]

Means you've read all the utterly crazy scenes with Hardcore Souma yes? How on earth would they put that to anime I just don't know...

Well, it wouldn't be a kids anime now, would it? haha.

[glasskite]

Well, it wouldn't be a kids anime now, would it? haha.
No, it'll just end up crossing into hentai.

[Mort]

No, it'll just end up crossing into hentai.

Which most do anyway.

[glasskite]

Haha true.

[Mort]

Haha true.

And look at Sailor Moon, and even some of the origonal Dragon Ball. That was hentai for kids in a lot of places. Especially Sailor Moon.

[Kamuph]

Hmm, sailor moon may be echii, but not hentai, I think :unsure:

By the way, who knows is Alichino in anime?
And who knows where to find Alichino full manga? :$

[San]

And that anime is Azumanga Daioh, perhaps the most well known anime series on the internet (whether in Japan or the West), though Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu isn't far behind.

I saw some and they were just hilarious :happy:

I've written a long silly useless review of every Bebop session. :(

Maybe I'll contact some fansites.

If anyone is intrested Full metal alchemist is showing on Rapture TV on Sky, only on tuesdays and saturday's.

My fav anime ive ever watch is Tenci muyo but i havent watched it for a while.

I have to say my top animes are:

Dominion Tank Police
Sailor Moon
Cowboy Bebop
Bleach

Oooh, Naruto! I got out of my anime obssessive phase a while a while ago, but I still watch it since Shipuuden finally came out :happy: The fillers were unbelievable awful. It's so annoying when the anime catches up with the manga.

Rurouni Kenshin's probably my favourite anime :D My friend used to go on a lot about Bleach, so I might watch that at some point too.

Rurouni Kenshin's probably my favourite anime :D My friend used to go on a lot about Bleach, so I might watch that at some point too.

Bleach is much better than Naruto, but I wouldn't watch it if you're young or have a nerveous disposition. :p

[lottie2002]

Well, there are only a few anime that I really really love, the rest I either don't know or don't like.

1) Gravitation
2) Ouran High School Host Club
3)Howl's Moving Castle

Favourite manga:
-God Child
-Ouran High School Host Club
-Gravitation
-Angel Sanctuary


Gravitation is basically an obsession of mine, together with, in a tiny bit less obsessive way, Ouran.
*goes and watch Ouran*

[uka]

ahhh anime

I don't know much about it, but when I was younger I watched:
Ghost In The Shell
Ghost In The Shell : Stand Alone Complex (saw almost every episode)
Ghost In The Shell 2
Blood: The Last Vampire
Akira
Jin-Roh

I probably missed a lot of the classics tho

I wanna see Spirited Away

oh and has anyone seen Steamboy (Suchîmubôi)? It's by the maker of Akira, so I guess it will be great!

I've seen the bit of Akira when that kid turns into a giant glob monster thing, it's rather strange...

I've seen the anime for Gravitation and read about half of the manga... totally random but really good. The manga's pretty different from the anime though - it took me a while to get used to the different artwork :p

I wanna see Spirited Away

That film is awesome :happy: But it's better to watch the Japanese sub than the American dub because the dub is... painful. Altough I suppose they make it easier to understand the plot.

[Static Shadows]

Howls Moving Castle and Spirited Away are awesome! Really like Ghost In the Shell 2 aswell, nothing like an in depth philosophical discussion.

Most random tho has to go to:

[seregon]

Damn theres a thread here!

I absoloutely love Ghost in the Shell <3 Each episode is unique in its own way

Right now I have three films to choose from:

Perfect Blue
Nausicaa of the valley of the wind
Neon Genesis Evangelion

They all look awesome in their own way

[CelticKnight]

I haven't seen any of the GitS (great acronym, that) series, only the two films. I downloaded the first two series of it, but never got around to watching it... dunno why, as I thought the films were great.


Neon Genesis Evangelion
The NGE series was amazing. Existentialist anime at it's finest.

I definately love that kind of anime :yesey: You should watch at least one episode of Stand Alone Complex it's different to the film but still good :yesey:

Think I will. Might re-watch the GitS films first though to get back in the mood. Speaking of existentialist anime, I also have to to finish watching the last few episodes of Ergo Proxy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergo_Proxy), one of my all time favourite anime's.

Also have a copy of Appleseed 2: Ex Machina around here somewhere that I'm yet to see.

[seregon]

I've been wanting Appleseed also :LOL: But right now I'm just watching any anime I can get my hands on

[New Born Lee]

I'm fairly new to Anime, I don't watch it as much as it may seem. I'm a real slacker, even for that sort of thing. I know I should watch a certain anime but I don't. :p

However, I am into The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which is great fun. I've only started watching Code Geass- first episode was pretty damn cool.

I've watched all of a more obscure animé called 2x2=Shinobuden, which is totally absurd. I reccomend you try it out, it just might appeal to your nature.

I'm more into Manga than Animé. I have all of Death Note, and am collecting Negima! and Chobits. My friend lends me Bleach as he reads it, and I lend him manga too. :)

(Oh yeah, and I've watched all of Lucky Star. It is very strangely amusing. There's the lead character in my sig)

You haven't actually watched an episode. It's absolutely loaded with non-sequiturs.

...btw i am an obsessive rei ayanami fanboy ><

[seregon]

Welcome :p

I have Evangelion on me so might watch that tonight.

I watched an episode of Gunslinger Girl last night. Leon much? Was pretty good though might watch some more.

Plus this Chibicon that is being held in my town this weekend... I went down yesterday and all I saw were people dressed as characters from Kingdom Hearts so I went up to the guy at the desk who looked bored as fuck and didn't do a very good job of selling the event.. he mentioned stalls and such or something and a cosplay competition (I'm stood there in jeans and hoodie). So I asked if they do day tickets and he just shrugs and goes "Weekend, but s'only £10" Well to me that's a lot of money to waste if I don't know what I'm getting myself into. If I knew about it in advance then I probably would have gone. To find out on the day was a bit of a surprise. So yeah my friends went to one this year so next year I'll go next year, maybe cosplay and all :LOL:

Has it been mentioned yet that they're making a live action movie out of Cowboy Bebop? Hugh Jackman is supposed to play Spike.
It's my favourite anime ever, so I hope they don't mess it up. I'm not really into anime anymore, but I still love the classics. :happy:

Would recommend:
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Ranma 1/2 (old school but really funny)
Samurai Champloo
Monster

Seeing as it sounds American... the answer is most likely to be yes they will mess it up. I've been wanting to watch the real life film of Death Note..

[Reevo]

I think the trailer will decide if its going to be any good, for example the hollywood Dragonball trailer doesn't feel like the original anime thus it looks like there going to mess it up however it still could be a good film.

/avoids over 9000 joke

Yeah, I know, but Cowboy Bebop shouldn't be that difficult to work as live action, seeing as it's primarily about the characters.

[airstation86]

oh god thanks for reminding me of the dragonball live action
....dear god D:

Ah, Chobits Vol. 4 came today.:happy: I love this story.

Very touching though. :'( Nobody dare spoil it for me.

A "live action" film of Neon Genesis Evangelion has been planned for years, but it never gets off the ground.

The idea is stuck in some sort of production limbo.

[airstation86]

i heard the production company is gonna be the same as the lord of the rings
...but im not even sure anymore

[Reevo]

I bought some manga books yesterday at Waterstones they had a 3 for 2 deal going on there if anyone is interested, so I picked up Phantom Vol 1 & 2 and The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Vol. 1.

Are there any other manga books worth picking up?

[seregon]

Anyone hear watched Elfen Lied? I hear it's as sick as fuck. Therefore I want to watch it

[-Lya-]

Anyone hear watched Elfen Lied? I hear it's as sick as fuck. Therefore I want to watch it

One of my friends started sending episodes of that a few years back.. it was a bit fucked to say the least! Keep meaning to go back and do a mass download fest but my net connection is sooooo slow ;__;

The Evangelion live action film has been in the work for years, and i mean YEARS!
WETA (responsible for Lord of the Rings) were supposed to be doing the effects, but i have no idea what happened to it..

If any of that talk about Cowboy Bebop live action is true I will kill some x__x tis ma FAVE ANIME!!


Anyway ^__^ I'm not a massive watcher of anime - would be a lot more if I had a better internet connection and could 'aquire' more, then I'd get back into it.. but my list of faves are;

Cowboy Bebop (<3)
Evangelion (head fuck)
Gravitation
Fruits Basket
Card Captor Sakura (yeah i know, but I LOVE CLAMP!)
Chobits
Hellsing
Death Note (<3 the live action..)
Escaflowne
Hellsing

My sister is way into her anime.. should get her to recommend a few ^__^

Got a stash of manga at my parents but can't be bothered to list them :p

[Nikora]

Anyone hear watched Elfen Lied? I hear it's as sick as fuck. Therefore I want to watch it
Awww I loved it. Go watch!

I'm still trying to get round to reading the Death Note manga, whoops.

[seregon]

Nice to hear you are an anime fan Lindsay :happy: I've heard a lot of people say they love Cowboy Bepop must try watch it. I have watched a lot of clips of Elfen Lied but I can't seem to find it in English in either dubs or subs which is annoying :LOL: I really like Evangelion the live action will be.. er.. interesting. Would have thought they'd touch Ghost in the Shell by now not that I want them too.

[Beast Love]

I'm downloading a series called Afro Samurai, just because of the name.

I really want to get back to watching Cowboy Bebop but I can't remember what episode I got up to :(

[Reevo]

I've really gotten into reading manga, i'm currently reading Solanin which is about these college graduates struggle to cope with the real world, its around 400 pages and i'm currently 100 pages through it.

I managed to watch Elfen Lied and yep I agree that its very fucked up, it does have one of the cutest dogs I've seen in an anime though.

I might go to the Alcon '09 convention at De Montfort University in Leicester for a day on the 4th September, would anyone be up for it, don't worry i'm not the cosplay type :LOL:.

[Peroxide Pixie]

As mentioned on the films thread I watched Dead Leaves at the weekend, I thought it was pretty good, loved the music and the style of animation.

[New Born Lee]

I'm reading Gimmick! at the moment, it's rather good, about a great makeup artist with a magical spatula, and he gets in all sorts of crime situations and stuff cos of his talents and he has personal quests for girls and stuff and there's some fanservice and YEAH ITS GOOD!

I also got the first Chibi Vampire. It's MEH.

[Pandaren]

I watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time recently, really loved it. I also watched Only Yesterday a few months ago and thought it was brilliant, although I think it's meant to be aimed at females :unsure:

Old-ish post, but..

Afro Samurai isn't bad. One of my flatmates last year had it on doovde and I watched a lot of it while preparing food. It was rather enjoyable :D Name is lolsome, though.

[Peroxide Pixie]

My boyfriend watched Afro Samurai at the weekend, he really enjoyed it.

He was obsessing over Steam Boy a few weeks ago as well.

[<O>]

Gurren lagann! Spin on!

[Reevo]

Been watching alot of anime since January and I have really enjoyed most of them but some really stand out for me:

BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad: Its a Slice Of Life/Music anime where a 14 year old kid gets into rock music and becomes an amazing guitarist, its relates to alot of British and american bands like Freddie Mercury (Queen) and Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) but they have made some changes to band names, one of them was Radiohead which are renamed in the anime as Rodiohead or Radioheat.

Clannad and Clannad After Story: A Romance/Drama, simply its an school life and life after school animes, this has quite alot of shocking moments and a great story, the character development in Clannad is quite fantastic also you truly care for most of them .

Currently watching Naruto just because of the big following it has and to be honest its not bad at all, fillers are a pain in the ass though :indiff:

[glasskite]

Theres a live action of BECK in the works. Now thats going to be interesting.

[Octazooka]

Theres a live action of BECK in the works. Now thats going to be interesting.
I want to watch the new season of Full Metal Alchemist, and I want it badly. Nao. :supersad: The themes are lovely to listen, and it's full of conspiracies :awesome:

I watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time recently, really loved it. I also watched Only Yesterday a few months ago and thought it was brilliant, although I think it's meant to be aimed at females :unsure:

Yeah I watched that a few months back. I absolutely love time travel stories, and that had a great, charming and funny story. Next on the list Vexille which looks quite good judging from IMDB and trailers.

Picked up Excel Saga volumes 4 and 5 for £3 each the other week. BARGAIN!

[Spiral]

A few days ago I have started to watch Azumanga and it's fantastig! :eek: I love all the cats and that strange father cat :LOL: and the teachers and any other crazy charachters (which means I love everyone 'cause they are all quite strange)!

Oh and not to forget: Nodame Cantabile and Neon Genesis are awesome too.

I want to watch The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime soon, I only have the 2 manga book volumes so far, I want to buy the DVD's but there not cheap.

Eden of the East is a great watch although you might have to watch episodes again to get the story.

I will give K-ON! another go soon, I'm currently checking out White Album.

Try watching Melancholy online, seriously, if the Japanese get it all on TV I don't see much wrong with watching it on Youtube, where it's always up...:LOL: I may buy the DVDs eventually, but for now they're ridiculously expensive.

Oh I need to resume watching K-on! It's great fun.

I'm watching Cowboy Bebop now, and it's got the most :awesome: music so far :D

[New Born Lee]

Finished the first series of K-On! It's a nice animé, kinda girly sometimes but makes up for it with relatable guitar speak, slice-of-life sketches and some laugh-out-loud moments. It's got some emotional moments too. The characters are very endearing. In general it's just great fun to watch and I'm looking forward to the next series (which it will doubtless have because it's become one of the fastest selling animé in Japan...).

[New Born Lee]

I keep meaning to finish watching the rest of Lucky Star, I'm probably on episode 17.. but I forget then the next time I want to watch it I start from the beginning because I've forgotten what's happened. :LOL:

Err, but that's just the thing. Nothing actually happens in Lucky Star. :LOL:

lol lucky star it is funny. has anyone see disgaea?

They have announced a second season for K-ON!:

http://www.uk-anime.net/newsitem/Second_season_of_K-ON!_confirmed.html

Watched the all the first season recently, I really like comedy Slice-Of-Life animes.

I wonder if these episodes will go through life after school kind of like what Clannad - After story did.

[slipperypoo]

I am starting to get into anime. I love drawing it now, my friend is HAYOOG on her anime and manga, and I am like her little protege heehee. Next week we are having a manga week :happy:

I will post a couple of my drawings here (if it's not a pain in the arse) when I can be bothered to upload them.

She is really into Full Metal Alchemist, I really must watch it soon.

I love the live action version of Casshern though. Epic film is epic.

[Reevo]

I'm quite mixed with anime and manga so far, I'm reading the Gunsmith Cats Extended verison manga which is a great action packed read through.

Plus one of my favourite manga Solanin is being made into a live-action film and released a trailer recently:

Also they had film version in April, Gintama: Shinyaku Benizakura-Hen (Gintama: A New Retelling Benizakura Arc) I'm going to watch it in Taiwan. Probably meeting some of casts there! Can't wait. Gintama must return!

HOLY SHIT! really? wow...live action or anime?

and, wow, in three weeks u finished the entire show!!??!? I'm only on my 2nd week :LOL:

Currently also watching Arakawa under the bridge

[Reevo]

Hello all! Haven't watched anime in awhile! (like a year)

But I thought I'd share my favorite anime/manga of all time! BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, check it :cool:

I really enjoyed BECK, I do have 3 DVD R2 volumes but they didn't release the final episodes which is a shame.

The live action movie should be good, here is the teaser trailer:

[New Born Lee]

I bought the entire series of Claymore on a whim recently, I've been watching and it's fantastic! Serious, dramatic and violent, much different to the animé I usually watch but all the better for it.

I've been playing the Clannad visual novel for a couple of months now. It's brilliant, entertaining characters, funny and genuinely touching. I've completed it around 75%, no idea how to approach some of the storylines. :stunned:

you should see the other one about announcing film version, that vid appears as "Gintama OVA1 with eng sub" when you finish watching the vid I pasted here. the subtitle was a bit messy, with translation of their words and the background music AND other references...

It's even more funnier. The staffs have always been playing trick, couldn't believe the real film version is actually on in April. Until the major casts had a conference meeting with public.;)

I was recently chosen to become a review writer for incoming UK anime releases, its so :awesome:

As for recent anime, I highly recommend Eureka Seven, Angel Beats and Cromartie High School. There so great :happy:

As for what i'm watching now, if you can guess the anime and film reference on my avatar, you get a prize (Terms and conditions apply).

PS: I will watch The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya soon Lee, I haz the complete collection.

[slipperypoo]

Okay, so I am just starting FMA: Brotherhood. Friggin awesome so far.

I cired at the end of the first series (remember I'm new, I know FMA was like, 2004). Watched the film, was a bit dissatisfied with it.

Brotherhood is awesome though.

I have also started watching D.Gray-man. What do people reckon? I'm unsure just now. It's creepy as hell :LOL:

You should read the FMA manga! Which is the Brotherhood anime. Manga's finished a couple months ago, was a great ending :'(

[Zdarlight]

Death.
Note.

[Zdarlight]

I didn't enjoy the anime as much as the manga, I have to admit.

I need to watch something over the summer, think I might watch Lucky Star cos it's light-hearted and fun.
I love the anime,but I can't say much because it's my first anime ever :p

[HaikuMarko]

K-On! Is fun...for anyone who likes Shoujo anime

[Reevo]

K-On! Is fun...for anyone who likes Shoujo anime

K-ON! to me has good humor and it always looks fantastic however I currently hate it for its music, some people love it but I can't stand it, for example the new opening for the 2nd part of the second season seems to not give a crap about making a decent tune, its just a mess.

I think if there was another K-ON! season (which I kinda think there shouldn't be), at least split the characters up at college and find new genres of music, i'm sure there is more things to sing about than tea and sweets /pointlessrant

[Wind Sorcerer]

Call me silly, but I love watching Hetalia.

[slipperypoo]

I love it cause of the humor too and the silly story following it. My favorite character is Mio cause she plays bass. I liked the 1st song in the 1st season, the ending was pretty good imo....for the 1st season but yeah in the 2nd season it was a mess...just...even for J-pop standards it was too messy!

i doubt there'll be a third season, they're about to graduate and the series is similar to Azumanga as it's on the genre of slice of life.

Personally I like the music in K-On! well enough. Not as good as character songs from the likes of Haruhi Suzumiya, but pretty good. Ah, I just read up- get on it, Haruhi's great, favourite animé so far. Great blend of humour, messing about and plot awesomeness. Just watch out for that second series. Eeesh.

And with regards to the bold - NOOOOO, you're totally missing the point! :LOL:

I'm down to the last two episodes of Claymore. It is INTENSE.

[Reevo]

And with regards to the bold - NOOOOO, you're totally missing the point! :LOL:

I know I'm taking it too seriously :D, I think its because most of the 2nd season they haven't played a new song, only hinted of one so far. I'm still watching it anyway.

I'm up-to-date with the Claymore manga at the moment, I need to check the anime out since there is a different ending. Got to wait until next year for the next manga issue :(

It is sorta annoying I have to admit that they're not actually playing anything. Good fun though.

Dunno about the Claymore manga but the animé is just so brilliant. Action-packed, dark, serious, good characters, and I really love the setting. Good voice work as well- found out that Clare is voiced by the same seiyuu as Tomoyo from Clannad. :happy: The characters are well distinguished so I don't hear Tomoyo from Clare.

Speaking of Clannad, did you get much play out of it? I was thoroughly obsessed for a while and still flick through it occasionally; recently got hold of the higher resolution version with after-story (which I of course have not yet unlocked). Got a favourite storyline? Mine's probably Kotomi's. Fuuko's and Tomoyo's were great too. :happy: Still a few of the smaller ones to unlock, can't find that girl with the brown hair at all. :stunned:

[Meteora.stan]

I think Im going to watch more gintama!

:eek:left the board for about three months, gosh
refering to you some animes in my recently watched list, all because I love those CVs.:)

-Bleach(the manga not the tv...Although Kobo has just killed off my Ichimaru Gin:'()

-Samurai Champloo サムライチャンプルー (love it, with my favourite CVs)

-Kuroshitsuji 黑執事 (1&2, 2 on air now)

-Durararara!! (please make 2 on air soon!)

-Sengou Basara (1&2, 2 on air now,LOOOOOVE IT. Also playing its psp game)

-Axis powers ヘタリア(stories about countries worldwide,each ep 5mins, brilliant idea in making these countries into little funny human-beings. Have met the main CV in Taipei during film version promotion in summer:D)

-さらい屋五葉(very impressed!!!)

-裏切りは仆の名前を知っている(not so impressed...)

-おおきく振りかぶって Ōkiku Furikabutte

[Reevo]

-Axis powers ヘタリア(stories about countries worldwide,each ep 5mins, brilliant idea in making these countries into little funny human-beings. Have met the main CV in Taipei during film version promotion in summer:D)

According to my sources in the UK we have just had that licensed for a DVD release for Christmas, will be checking that out again.

As for recent favourites High School of the Dead is pretty good zombie anime, full of fan-service but if you not bothered then its easily recommended, homage to a few zombie flicks like Shawn of the Dead and the Resident Evil games.

I moaned last time that K-ON! was turning me off but episode 20 surely showed me that I was being silly, a fantastic performance with the girls giving there all and Yui really getting into it and a really sad moment after it, it really did a 180 on what I though of it, I think episode 22 is the final episode so hopefully it will end with a bang.

Lastly I really recommend Giant Killing for football and shounen fans, there are a mixture of non-Japanese characters that serve as good comic reilef and the football matches are thrilling.

As for reviews i'm currently doing some Desert Punk and Naruto Shippuden releases.

@Lee I'm up to first meeting Nagisa's parents, i'm making slow progress, :(

Is durarara really that awesome? friends so far say it's the greatest thing since code geass.

is it?

[Meteora.stan]

Is durarara really that awesome? friends so far say it's the greatest thing since code geass.

is it?

It sure is. CV list is fantastic for this anime. I'm reading the original novel at the moment. Love it.Actually better than the anime.
Izaya is just an asshole but I love him.Damn Kamiya san is his voice actor.
Mikado feels kinda darker in his heart and with what he tries to do in the newest episodes in novel, maybe he IS just nice on the surface.

Masaomi...lovely kid, been tricked by Izaya before and have grown matured ever since, is trying to save Mikado from following his old experience at the moment. The anime hasn't gone that far, I'm talking about the novel:p

Other character are all fab(of course includ. the very main character Celty Sturluson, the Irish headless Godess in charge of notifying people the coming death...)

AND I LOVE SHIZUO FULL STOP

The music on DRRR!! is also great, i just showed one of my presentations with its first opening tune and kids just LOVE IT.

[Meteora.stan]

Hetalia is just way too hilarious. :LOL: F.e. the idea of labelling Russia as a dude who's addicted to Vodka or France being a hopeless gay. :LOL:

LOL Italy is just naturally a ばが......yet he's so loveable
This anime again gathered lots of great voice actors!:happy:That's why I love Austria, Italy, Germany,Japan, England and China. America sounds fine, but Canada sounds even better(same voice actor), who seems to be the weak one and always feels transparent:LOL: Even his pet often asks him who the hell he is:LOL:

To be honest, Hetalia is looking (maybe hinting) kinda BL-like. I mean all these boys liking and wanting to protect and stay with each other...Lots of animes are now selling these hints imo :erm:

[Meteora.stan]

According to my sources in the UK we have just had that licensed for a DVD release for Christmas, will be checking that out again.



Is it the film version?

[Meteora.stan]

oh and I'm watching さよなら絶望先生 - HILARIOUS.It's now on its 3rd season. The frequent quote from this Mr.糸色望 (whose name looks just like絶望, meaning "desperation" ): It was so blooody desperate! I'm desperated with this whole world!”, or “How will it be if I die!". He always commit suicide, never succeed and actually scared of death.

In tv anime, Kamiya Hiroshi is the main voice. He's also the voice behind Tieria Erde in "Mobilesuit Gundam00"（《机动戦士ガンダム 00》）and 市ノ宫行 in "Under The Bridge"（《荒川アンダー ザ ブリッジ》）

btw I've followed 荒川 a long time ago when it was aired and now the first season's finished. Brilliant anime, fav CVs again and the story is ridiculously funny.:D

K-On! Episode 20 was fantastic. :happy: Great to see an episode almost entirely dedicated to a performance, and the emotional bit at the end was lovely. It's always been inconsistent, but I've fallen in love with K-On! anyway. :LOL:

Hmm hmm, I see. Don't worry, I failed about a million times because I wanted to do certain storylines before Nagisa's, and I couldn't bloody work out how to get to them. :LOL:

Yeah, i'm going to catch up with episode 21 to 23, all I can say is that its been a great series but to me it doesn't beat BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, surely though this is the end of K-On! however I would at least want the band to perform at that rock festival in a future short OVA (or even at the last episode). Will you miss it?

A company known as ADV who licensed various anime titles in the UK have shut down quite a while ago, Chrono Crusade was one of those titles and i'm trying to find a cheap copy boxset rather then buy the single volumes. Maybe when I go to the London Expo I will find it.

Will you miss it?

Yeah, I will. We can't be sure that it's over, of course, especially after it sold so insanely well, and they don't really need more manga to base it off since it was just a four-panel. For as long as it's gone though, I will miss it dearly, those girls are a part of me now. :supersad: :LOL:

@Wind Sorcerer I have HEARD of it. Does it have a nun character? :LOL: Could be madly wrong there.

[Wind Sorcerer]

@Wind Sorcerer I have HEARD of it. Does it have a nun character? :LOL: Could be madly wrong there.

Most of the major characters are nuns or padri. :LOL:

@ Reevo

there's still youtube. I was able to look at all the episodes on yt. (In German, though.)

[Meteora.stan]

I know I've mentioned it, but Sengou Basara anyone?

[Wind Sorcerer]

Never heard of it. What's it like?

[muselee321]

I like Naruto (Japanese voices, please!). Anyone else?

Death Note, too (esp. the manga). A North American remake of the movies might come out next year, by the way...

[Reevo]

I know I've mentioned it, but Sengou Basara anyone?

I haven't seen that yet, but my anime list is way too big at the moment. It is coming out on DVD over here so it might give me a chance to watch it (or even review it!)

I like Naruto (Japanese voices, please!). Anyone else?

Death Note, too (esp. the manga). A North American remake of the movies might come out next year, by the way...

I'm up-to-date with the Naruto manga and i've been reviewing the anime Shippuden series up to episode 26. I do prefer the Japanese voices in the first series but the English voices in Shippuden are much better imo.

As for Death Note the anime series was alright, didn't love it like alot of people do. As for the American remake, it does sound quite interesting.

[Liam]

Massive One Piece fan. Made a thread. It's dead. Go figure :LOL:


Watched Claymore too but was disappointed it didn't match the manga. As for Bleach/Naruto I didn't have the heart to catch up on them. Tempted by Death Note though.

[slipperypoo]

Just starting FMA: Brotherhood. I have a long way to go to catch up, I have only watched the first 6 episodes. My pal just got the 23rd book of the manga or something, and apparently there is some Mustang vs Envy action. Jizz, pants.

[New Born Lee]

Episode 26 of K-On! (that's right, it's still not over) is one of the most fan-service (in the not-nudity sense) filled episodes of any animé I've seen. :stunned:

1. K-ON!! is very popular near the end of series
2. Corporation sees this
3. Movie is announced
4. ??????
5. PROFIT!!!

Seriously though, how the hell are they going to fill a K-ON!! episode into 1-2 hours.

I think my friend had the best idea of having a Battle Of The Bands kind of thing, that would be interesting to me.

New anime season has started, Bakuman and Ore no Imouto are my favourites at the moment. :happy:

[Reevo]

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is the best anime I have ever seen.

Go watch it now. You wont experience anything like it.

Such a good show to homage some of the great old American cartoons of the past, it also reminds me of something I would watch on Adult Swim. Its a unique take by an anime studio.

Arakawa Under The Bridge 2 never ceases to amaze me and make me laugh so much, Giant Nino on a horse that fires Lazer Beams throughout a flaming city, Win.

[Meteora.stan]

BLEACH FTW!

the manga or the anime? IMO for anime there's too much non-original stuff which I think it's a bit overwhelmed.Loves manga, but seriously cannot see how things will go after last week's post. And now Mr.Kubo has gone to rest for two weeks or something. Still, can't wait to see new episode of Bleach next week.

Reborn (anime) has finished a season,I don't even have time to catch up with it!:eek:

YES Bakuman!!! Manga and life, etc. Loved it on Jump magazine. And 荒川アンダーザブリッジ 2 has been on air for three weeks, exciting and still loads of fun. It's a subsitute for Gintama to me.:LOL:
Currently watching 咎狗の血(anime) as well. You might not be comfortable with this type, it's originally a BL game. Again, seiyu are fab.

TV Sengoku Basara 2 finished about two weeks ago. In last episode THEY ANNOUNCED MOVIE VERSION FOR NEXT YEAR OOOOMMMG\m/ Please original soundtrack composer please! Let's MOE!!
For you who are interested, Sengoku Basara is a CAPCOM game and made anime a year ago. There're also loads of drama CD and radio tracks about it. For non-Japanese you may refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sengoku_Basara_%28anime%29
"Basara" basically means magnificence made by loads of heros, they got all these legendary heros from all parts of Japan in Sengoku era and made drama about it. :) The game I've played already, the effects looked amazing.

[HaikuMarko]

Agreed with previous statement, I find Bleach wayyyyyyy toooooooo overwhelmed with fillers that is hard to follow the intended plot. :eek:

I wanna watch Reborn! A friend of mine keeps telling me to but I still haven't!

[Wingardium LevioSIA]

So this weekend I saw Akira (which I had never seen before, I must admit) and also Summer Wars (a UK premiere, I believe) and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (a European premiere according to the organiser).

They were all really good. Especially Haruhi.

[New Born Lee]

They were all really good. Especially Haruhi.

I am incredibly jealous of you for getting to see that! :mad: So badly need to see it, but I don't want to watch the awful quality cinema recordings. :supersad:

[Reevo]

Has anyone watched The Big O? I finished the boxset recently and I have no idea why I haven't watched it till now, influences from the animated Batman series to various spy films like James Bond, the OP is familiar also:

AdA6iRk94Hc

I will need to try and get the final 13 episodes, tis awesome.

Arakawa S2 and Soremachi are still going strong as my favourites, although P+S is becoming alot better as episodes go by.

I'm also currently trying to get through the Haruhi novels, The Boredom Of Haruhi Suzumiya and The Disapperance of Haruhi Suzumiya. There a great read.

Lastly i went to the London Expo last month, had a fun time!
