The Anime thread

I love Anime, the art and violence is cool.


But what i really love is the expressions the characters make and i love the humor. I love it when someone gets embrassed and everything turns red and u see a big sweat drop by the characters face. There are so many little things that make me grin while watching this stuff. Maybe thats not just anime but a refletion of japanese but whatever it is, i love it.

What have you seen? What is your fav?


The ones ive seen worth mentioning include:

Cowboy Bebop
Gantz
Samurai Champloo
Claymore
Full Metal Alchemist
Neo Genesis Evangelon
Elfen Lied
Afro Samurai
Wolfs Rain

And im currently watching Bleach........I love it but sometimes I get this feeling this is a chick show. The one thing i like about bleach is that the characters change clothes lol. Samurai Champloo, Cowboy bebop, and Gantz are my favs for different reasons. Gantz is probably the weirdest cartoon ive ever seen.

I agree......this is my fav.

Cowboy Bebop and Ruroni Kenshin. My 2 favorites. Only because they don't cater specifically to the geeky virgin crowd.


Spriggan is pretty badass too.

Golden Boy
La Blue Girl

you seem to like the same shows i do, so i recommend the following:

death note - very good, one of my favorite series. the story is great.

kenshin ova 1-4 - probably the best anime ive seen, especially 1 and 2. if you havent seen this, check it out. its the background story to that show with the 'retired' assassin with the X scar on his face. it's also called samurai x.

flcl - weird but good

naruto - lots of episodes, but the ones that deal with the main story are good

i also like the gundam shows, like gundam wing and gundam seed

innocent venus is also a good series. there are only 13 episodes or so, so it is easy to go through.

i got hooked on one piece too. i didnt think id be interested in it, but i started watching it, and havent been able to stop.

ive seen so many anime shows, i cant list them all.

bebop all day long

eva and FMA are sick as well..

Am I the only one that only watches Hentai? I'm bored with the normal stuff

Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi!!

Anyone watch these newer ones?

Darker than Black - It was cool, but I didn't really understand it. I think it's to be continued
Claymore - Also cool, but didn't end well. Hopefully it continues
Dragonaut - Just started, it's only on the 3rd episode. seems like it will be good.
Devil May Cry (based on the game). It's not really lame, but it's nothing special either. It probably wont last very long.

A lot of the newer stuff is too expensive when just released. I'm not going to pay $60+ for 13 episodes unless I start to buy 3 ep. single volume DVD's when they're released which adds up.

initial D

NWS(?)

^ I wonder if our fakies specialist would approve? They are technically fake...

there's one of that same picture without the threads, floating around the internet.

kenshin is good up until ep 66. the rest were just added in and useless. then the ovas were good.
bleach
naruto shippuuden (or regular naruto up until the fillers)
initial d
wangan midnight
samurai champloo
golden boy (definitely one of the best, i seriously wished they didn't drop the series about episode 6)
salaryman kintaro (it's kind of like golden boy without the hot girls)
akira
gundam wing, seed, seed destiny
cowboy bebop
outlaw star
blue submarine
avatar (not really anime because it's american made)
x
blood
elfen
prince of tennis + ova's
sailormoon
yu yu hakisu (forgot how it's spelled)
dragonball, z, gt
digimon
pokemon
metabots
monster rancher
flcl

that's all i can think of off the top of my head
