--Some anime I can't believe I wasted a morning watching with some kid fighting with spirits....I think it was called Shaman King or something.
Pokemon/Digimon did suffer plot-wise after richie/first season, imo.
But my fav anime will always be DBZ. As for worse, I don't think such things exist, because I never actually watch it to the end hah. Probably some early space anime with crap art? *shrug*
I answered this but IE blew up, so here goes again :D
2 of my favs, an anime and anime film, seem not to have been mentioned and I consider them classics, theres the comedy antics of Martian Successor Nadesico and the horrific psychological thriller known as Perfect Blue, if you get a chance do watch them, although with Nadesico you may find the movie of the series a bit disappointing as they do a great build up but forget to do a middle and skip to the end :(
With the Evangelion, I've never seen the whole series (missed out the first 8 episodes when they showed it on Sci-Fi) however I've ordered the whole set on DVD so that'll be good.
Worst anime? Probably DBZ, I'm walming to it a bit, but its not all that funny and there seems to be no real story just people throwing balls of energy at each other, oh well...
Edit: Oh and Nadesico is a series and then also a movie based on it called the Prince of Darkness :D
If you're getting Eva, be sure to get the movie with it. The movie is the
way the last 2 episodes were supposed to be done. They ran out of
money and had to make them, and they're terrible. The movie is awesome
though.
.opt
actually the last 2 episodes were intended that way. and they are not crap...they are the philosophical conclusion to the seris.Quote:

Series ending is (SPOILER) alternate universe which Shinji has created in his mind..however it isn't clear in the episodes ending if he accepts the Instrumentality or not...in the movie he doesn't accept it,he accepts the real worls where the one hurts and love another..he decided to stay in the real world..now is question how Asuka survives,maybe she had the will as Yui said...and about the last line on the movie "kimochu warui"...no comment
And the two endings has their own meaning and greatness..Anno knew what he did very well...
(SPOILER)however i,d argue he went 4 a depressing end with EOE. the last 2 eps were too happy, and Gunbuster was a joyous end. the last 2 eps of eva were the same conclusion as EOE- accepting the real world where one hurts and love another)as beatrix put it..he decided to stay in the real world. however in the ep this is shown as a good thing via the *congratulations*. in the film his breakdown and crying, followed by Asuka's *pathetic* show it as his weakness, giving into the pressure of God, despite his power to end reality. in the end, he still failed. his weakness is all consuming.
the beauty of EVA is its multiple interpretations. i,m a pessimist, so go firgue :rolleyes2 .
You know aeris2001x2 you seem to have a good view on Eva,i want to ask you why do you believe (SPOILER)Shinji struggles Asuka in the end?
i,m not sure exactly,(SPOILER)she is the new Eve, the symbol of new birth. but he beliefs he made the wrong choice so trys to kill her. without her they could not start the human race once more. however he can not bare himself to do it, he fails again. whether this is through compassion when Asuka touches him as if to say stop i,m not sure. but Asuka still scolds him.
thats not the common interpretation, many Eva fans(SPOILER)see it as him hanging on to his obsessive weakness to be alone, but stopping and embracing the real world. others see it as him attempting revenage 4 the suffering the sexual tention caused, but then realising his feelings 4 her and crying of happiness. more still see it as him trying 2 get revenage 4 her not helping him during his nervous breakdown in the start of EOFF, but realising it was his own fault and he has to stand on his own feet. maybe its all at once? ]
LOL, Evangelion is just so glorious :greenking
tis true, it is glorious lol
well my fav'd b Trigun
worst EVER-digimon
the ilustrious Trigun...still not avaliable in the UK :cry:. I want Vash the Stampede!
Trigun is great too but not like Eva...i'm still wondering how Anno created this to be so perfect....
