I've just started getting into anime like Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D ((Bloodlust)) and Trigun. I was wondering what anime some of you katz like, and if you could recommend me anything.

If not... then that's fine. I understand completely. But don't expect me to send you flowers and make you piping hot tomato soup when you get ill and die.

You just named three of the very best anime ever. Cowboy Bebop is good, and I also like Samurai X (the Ruruoni Kenshin OVA), Blood: The Last Vampire, and Ghost in the Shell. Evangelion is a classic, but youre gonna be in for some confusion lol.
And DragonBall Z should not be considered a true anime. There is no plot, bad drawings, and bad animation. All it did was ruin the name of anime and become popular with six year olds.

Huh? Since when are crappy shows not allowed to be considered anime? I agree that it sucks really bad, and that it's popularity isn't doing anything good for the image of anime in the US... but there's plenty of anime that's worse. Not all anime kicks ...

Though, what I don't understand, is how sooo many people can hate DBZ yet love Naruto. *tries to figure out how the two are different* Okay, so one has ugly art and animation, while the other has decent art and very nice animation... but they both follow the same annoying formula. x_x Oh well, whatever.

Aaand, my favorite anime are X and Wolf's Rain. I can't choose between them.

I'm a devote fan of almost anything Miyazaki creates as well as the aforementioned Cowboy Bebop.

Miyazaki for the sheer brilliance and beauty of his creations, the quiet moments of profound thought and mind-blowing sights that span the imagination.

Cowboy Bebop mostly for the eclectic musicial scores and the twisting plot, though the images are also to be held in awe by me.

Take care all.

I've seen the first few episodes of Evangelion. But, I made the mistake of watching the End of Evangelion too... which is perhaps one of the most peculiar films I've ever encountered.

It’s like a violent cheese dream.

I like Inuyasha a lot. (The series, not the dude. Sango all the way.)
And I gotta agree that DBZ sucks. Dragonball was alright, but DBZ has virtually zero plot and its sorta ruining the image of anime in the west. Of course and as usual, this is all in my humble opinion

It has no plot because over 50% of the show is usually cut out for North American viewers if you have seen the original episodes there is more of a plot.

A movie that has a cat that turns into a bus is just messed and very interesting to watch :D on another note i heard that Disney had bought the rights to do an english translation of the movie My Neighbour Totoro. I hope they dont edit it to hell. Also Breine how did you see it? Is there a dubbed or subbed version? My gf brought back a copy from Japan when she went and she taught me some japanese and translated things i didnt understand for me but i would like to get it in a dubbed or subbed format.

DBZ has some good points in the movies. If the dvd movies by that annoying funimation company were subtitled, I might actually consider buying them.

-_-;

Erdrick Holmes
02-06-2004, 02:16 PM
DBZ is practically dead in Japan, it's about 95 percent owned by the US due to it's raging popularity there.

Anywho also have a taste for Gunsmith Cats and Biohunter as well.

katana
02-06-2004, 04:37 PM
Manga: Raganarok, Hellsing, Samurai Deeper Kyo
Anime: Hellsing, Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun
Movies and OVAs: Samurai X, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ghost in the Shell, End of Evangelion.

Add to that a little, and theres your basis for pure, kicking anime. And I forgot to add FLCL. For nonstop coolness.

Escaflowne, both movie and series. They're each very different from each other, actually.

Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, and Blue Sub Six are also all good. I am a mainstream whore.

03-10-2004, 04:57 AM
I used to follow the Sailor Moon series when it was on cartoon network a lot when I was in late middle school/early high school. But they got rid of it *grumbles*
I also used to watch Chobits....."Chi?" ....Gundam Wing, and Tenchi. I liked Tenchi because Ryo-oki was just plain awesome and Washu was crazy.
I've never seen Love Hina but I love the theme song!

Movies
Princes Mononoke
Gundam Moble Suit (I don't remember exactly what the name was)

It's been a while since I've watched all the stuff. Anybody got any recommendation as to what I should check out if I've got time?????:greenie:

omg!! they brought back ASTRO BOY!!! xD *freaks out* I :love: that anime!! I used to watch it when I was like 5!! xDD

I also just got into Full Metal Alchemist :/ but I haven't seen enough of it to go crazy yet.
and the two Inuyasha movies were excellent! I was really surprised with the end result. A lot of the times Movies form series are really weird... especially if they are trying to stick the whole series in a 1 hour movie *thinks of X-1999*

I want to add Ah! My goddess to the list I posted earlier xD

03-15-2004, 05:40 AM
Evangelion,FMP,FMP2,trigun,Blood:the last vampire,Ghost in the shell,Love Hina,Ninja scroll,cowboy bebop.

I have just finished watching

.hack//sign
.hack//liminality

I greatly enjoyed .hack//sign and they way they abruptly ended the whole series. The way they did it will piss a lot of people off but I suspect that the story will continue in the world of the .hack games. This was lead on to because I watched liminality(which seems to corrdinate with the game series and seems to have back story in .hack//sign.

Overall it is quite the interesting series. By far the best music of any cartoon series I have ever seen(same person is doing the music for the story scenes in Xenosaga II so I am extremely pumped).

Sailor Moon is the only anime I've ever really cared for.

The sucky thing was DiC getting the rights to it.

That show had some kick ass villains like Demando and Fiore. I lost interest in the Cartoon Network version after they made Michiru and Haruka "cousins".

I'm just curious... Did they ever reach Stars? What would they have done about those three guys from Stars?

evangelion-
whats up with the live action version anyway

inuyasha-
much better subbed, they kidded it down in eng. its a bit too much like a soap opera though(Sesshoumaru yum)

magic knights rayearth-old, but RPGish anime, the manga is loads better though

It's all about Inuyasha for me. Both the manga and the anime. And YES, the only way I can stand watching and reading it is in Japanese. Whenever I hear the dub I want to gauge my eyes out.

That's why Shonen Sunday RULEX0rsS! :P

Oooo. *_* I am completely in love with that series. I'm a few episodes behind as I've had a busy month, but oi. So far it's the only thing running that I'm interested in. Al is so cute.

Hmm... for those that enjoy Ah! My Goddess, but don't keep up with anime news, you'll be interested to hear there will apparantly be a new OAV on the way, along with a series. (So I read on a message board, but either way I know for a fact we're getting more A!MG anime) :D Hopefully they pull it off!

Yeah, but the characters in Naruto are awesome, and even though they do tend to draw out fight scenes for too long, it's not as predictable as DBZ, nor does it take as long. It's a bit like DBZ, but done better, and the characterisation really can be incredible in it. IMO.

Favourites: Love Hina, Naruto, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Flame of Recca.

Eh.

ZellMog
03-28-2004, 03:11 PM
G Gundam, Visions of Escaflowne, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Outlaw Star... A few others.

And for movies: Vampire Hunter D, without a doubt.

Do what I did. Get the fansubbed episodes, or the DVDs in the original Japanese version with English subtitles.

Michiru and Haruka are not so much "cousins" there. And I find the voice acting to be much less annoying.

Watch season five to find out about the Stars. ;)



As to anime I like... I haven't seen much. I absolutely love Sailor Moon - in the Japanese version. The English bastardization annoys me.

In addition to SM, what have I seen? Trigun, FLCL... both are great. Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away... good stuff.

Yeah, I need more anime. ;_;

Adding to my list, I finally did see Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, and it was pretty. I also saw a couple of episodes of Hellsing and I'm in love. And Love Hina! I like Love Hina.

03-30-2004, 06:25 PM
Fullmetal Alchemist is...SO incredibly awesome. Especially the manga, but the anime is beautiful, too. I could rant about the depth and verisimilitude for hours, but suffice it to say that the mythological and historical connections and the political commentary alone would be enough to keep me thoroughly entranced, even if it didn't have the lovely animation, excellent characters, and extremely above-par voice-acting and music. If you haven't already seen it, I can't recommend it enough.

I'm also a big fan of Chrno Crusade, Inuyasha, Scrapped Princess, and Hellsing, among others. Those are just current favorites that come to mind *^_^*

gunbuster, samarui x ovas/reflection, macross plus the movie, perfect blue, ghost in the shell, gits standalone complex, akira, patlabour 2. god damn, there r too many good animes. if ff7 was ever turned into an anime, that would be no 1.

I also like Ruroni Kenshin, and she and her cat.

In no particular order:

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Mononoke Hime

Ok, better stop now. Probably forgot some, though.

So my question to you guys is, what anime would you recommend for me to watch, I don't normally like anime, but if you were to get me to like it, what anime would it be?

Jenn
04-23-2004, 12:43 AM
I recommend(to name a few):
1. Inuyasha
2. Witch Hunter Robin
3. Cowboy Bebop (the show and movie :) )
4. NOIR
5. .Hack//
etc........

I almost forgot.... Watch Kenshin.... its good (Rouroni Kenshin)

Death Sign
04-23-2004, 08:24 AM

Movies, I like Ghost in the Shell. And series, I like Hellsing.

Well I just have to say that I agree, all the Dragon Ball series suck(DBZ,GT,etc.). It's the worst thing Funimation ever created. I'm not a fan of Inuyasha either, but I won't even get into that. Cowboy Bebop rocks. I like Trigun, Fooly Cooly, Aeon Flux, Blue Gender, Wolf's Rain was alright although I've only watched a few episodes... Witch Hunter Robin, and the movie Akira was the shiznit. The Animatrix was pretty cool too.

My favorite is Naruto, Trigun, and FullMetal Alchemist(why did Funimation have to license FullMetal Alchemist it would have been so much better if say pionear did it.) I hope Naruto doesn't end up like that.

06-10-2004, 06:43 AM
