There are different forms of Anime out there. And with each form, there is different styles... Most of us, know of Anime like Dragon Ball Z, and One Piece. Its Japaneese, but its made for ALL people... Where as you have Anime like Elfen Lied, and Death Note in which it to is Japaneese but of a darker form.

Then there is American Anime like Ben Ten, and shows like that. Yes, you can say that they are "Cartoons" but do you even know what the words Anime means?


Anime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime) is traditionally hand drawn, but computer assisted techniques have become quite common in recent years. The subjects of anime represent most major genres of fiction, and anime is available in most motion-picture media (television broadcast, DVD and VHS distribution, and full length motion pictures).

While Animation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animation) is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement

There will be more added to this first post. The more we learn about different forms of Anime, the more we can add.

Darknova.

Because it's so damn cool. Where else can you get big-breasted young girls, big f***-off robots, and character-depth in one place? :P

Favourites:

Can you guess? Gundam!

I have every single series apart from G Gundam which sucks royal ass. I love Gundam, and I'm especially liking the current Gundam 00 series.

Set in a post-fossil fuel future where 99% of the worlds energy comes from a massive solar-energy collector ring set in Earth's orbit.
There are 3 main factions. The Union. The AEU. and the HRL. All still fighting between each other. So in steps a para-military organisation called Celestial Being with the power of the Gundams to stop war for good, by intervening with force.

It's definately my favourite series after Gundam Zeta, and definately better than Gundam SEED and sequels, which were still good.

After that we have G.I.T.S.
Rockman.EXE (I'm a child, I know :D)
Digimon Savers
Zoids.

So far I've stayed pretty main-stream in terms of Anime, but if there are any decent other anime series please, suggest them :D

[das müffin mann]

i enjoyed ghost in the shell, my bro showed my the movie when i was 10, and that movie was bad ass and so was the sereis

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

Gundam ... GITS ..Initial D

[Hawk1]

I haven't kept up with the newer anime, but grew up with the old school stuff, so forgive me if this stuff is outdated for most.

Earliest memories of the daytime shows(in North America) were:
G-Force (Gatchaman): 5 members of elite space team fight the "evil" empire - each episode is a different story/fight (I have all 105 original japanese/subtitled episodes - only 70 or so made it to NA due to graphic violence/main character deaths that could not be covered up)

Starblazers (Yamato) Quest for Iscandar series: Earth is bombarded with radiation bombs from another "evil empire" who is making Earth livable for themselvs and everyone lives undergroud. Life on Earth has one year to live unless a group of space adventurers reaches another planet that has a device to reverse the effects - they battle the enemy on the way and is soap opera type where one episode leads into the next.

Starblazers Comet Empire series: New evil empire is taking over the galaxy and is headed for Earth. Same group from the first series has to investigate and stop them.

Force five: Five different robot style series: Semi-soap opera series, but different battles each episode for the most part (getter robo G, Grendizer, gaiking (daikumaryu) etc),

Robotech (Macross) - If you havent seen/heard of this it is a must see - was the breakout anime series that popularized the genre in North America/other parts of the world - led to gundam and other series. Heres (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF5VM1r2xAk) the climactic battle. Very soap opera type - you miss one episode you could be lost going on.

Akira -movie very wierd and hard to describe - just rent it.

I was probably 7 or 8 when I started watching these shows. What I loved about them were that there were actual stories involved (and good ones at that), instead of the usual bugs/roadrunner shows (don't get me wrong, I enjoyed those as well). The story/depth kept me coming back each day after school for the must see shows.

While I was young when I was watching the shows, there were certain scenes that would have someone die, but they would cover it up with some bs voiceovers, but even at this age I knew they were BSing the kids. Heres an example:

Starblazers - Comet Empire: The Sargent went into the Comet (bad guys base) to destroy their defense shield. He plants the bombs and is being shot at from all sides - hits the trigger right in front of the bombs and like a 1/4 of the comet is blown off. The other good guys (the captain etc.) are on their way back to their ship and when they get back to the ship are told he got out just in time: now kids are not morons (at least I hope not), so I think most should of known this was bs and there was no way he could of survived.

Heres Youtube of the Uncut (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8dQqy2vAWk) and cut (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QzD4Vk_-6A&feature=related) versions. Oh, and heres the finale's part1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlwpvCx6tug&feature=related) and part2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqyqd4Bums8&feature=related)if interested.

I have some of these on VHS, and some on DVD, some even play on tv still (Robotech - 5-6pm on Space channel - but never home to watch).

Ah, good memories (yeah quality is crap, but what do you want for late '70's).


Edit: I didn't get the post your name thing either, but whatever.

[Darknova]

Can I make a suggestion please?

When you list your favourite anime, could you please put at least a brief summary of what's it's about as well.

:)

[btarunr]

btarunr

Anime is superior to conventional cartoons because it involves a very simple but effective way of conveying emotions, actions, dialogues of a character. Sure sometimes there is exaggeration in the way a character expresses but that's the thing that makes Anime what it is. It presents the audience a story, a set of characters with greater efficiency than conventional cartoons. It's not easy to draw faces, and Asian cartoonists find putting the big eyes in place of the typical pan-Asian eyes is simply for expressiveness and it adds to the art.

Favourites:
Dragonball Z (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z) ; Beyblade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade). My heroes: Goku, Rei and Kai.

There's a TV channel in India known as Animax dedicated to Anime, that's my only source. Beyblade comes on Cartoon Network.

[cooler]

cooler,
i only watch Kaiji at the moment

[Cold Storm]

for everyone thats been bsing, read what i posted on my second post.... i wrote guidelines while BEING AT work. There will be an revision once i get home....

[cooler]

cooler,

some of my fv anime,
Cromartie High School
Black Cat
Samurai Champloo
Midori no Hibi

[Wile E]

Woot! Sign me up!!!!

Anyway, I discovered anime in high school. One of my study hall teachers showed Fist of the North Star to us, for no apparent reason. I've been hooked ever since.

I have too many favs to list them all, so I'll do a shortened list.

GITS and GITS:SAC
Neon Genesis Evangeleon
Elfen Lied
Eureka7
Full Metal Panic!
Full Metal Alchemist
Read or Die
Trigun
Gungrave
Wolfs Rain
Witch Hunter Robin
Utawarerumono
Gilgamesh
Gantz
Kimi Ga Nozumo Eien
Love Hina

List goes on and on. As you can see, I like a bit of everything, from action, to lighthearted comedy, to full blown drama.

The things that I don't own on DVD or get thru netflix, I try to get from good release groups like KAA or AHQ or Thora. There are many others, but I find those groups the ones I end up downloading the most, and it's usually just a coincidence. I look for the highest quality version of a series, and it usually ends up being one of those. lol. I won't post the torrent pages because it would probably be against the rules. lol. PM for questions.

[Cold Storm]

All right, Like I said, I'm home now and I've added a few things to the first post... so everyone if they can ^^ I would love it..

Now for me... I was around 10 years old, and flipping through channels one night durning summer break when I came across Akira. I was hooked right there. A darker side of what I thought was a "cartoon" and I just couldn't believe how well done it was. I mean, it was better then any type of movie I've ever seen... And I still think Anime is better then any REAL movie... Just my opinion.
So after that I started buying up everything I could get my hands on. The first series that I watched was GUYVER. It was by far better then any cartoon that I was watching at the time. Darker, and cool looking. Then from then on I was watching Dragonball Z, and other shows like that.
Then once I got my job, I was able to buy any and every type of anime I could get my hands on... So once I found out a website called Netflix (www.netflix.com), I went and sold all my anime for about a grand... I had some good stuff, but i could spend 20 dollars a month for around 10 anime, to 100 or more for the same amount...

Now for my favorite anime... I'll list my all time so we don't go and have a 20 mile long post...


Final Fantasy 7's Advent Children- The story to me is so deep that I just watch it over and over again..
Rurouni Kenshin (or better known as Samurai X). This is by far the best series out there. It made me want to study all of Japan, and my thought pattern is that of what is written in the "Code of the Samurai".
Full Metal Alchemist- The characters just hooked me. two brothers that just tried to get their mother back but have to pay the price for there mishaps.
Guyver- Its what hooked me. Bio-mech armor that can do anything... Even drew Cold Storm as one...
Escaflowne- Its a beautiful story about a girl that comes to the medevil time to save a kingdom.
Ghost In The Shell-It was by far the best movie that I saw when I was young. Then when the series came out, I was hooked. Just look at my avatar and the words that start up my signature. It tells you all about me..


Those are just my top Six. I could go on and on... I'm open to anything and everything. I just started to watch Elfen Lied, and Deathnote. While watching the Anime Network in demand shows...

Every single one you've showed I'ved watched and love... The only one that I got lost on and trying to re watch is Gilgamesh. It was pretty nice watching it, but with so many dvd's in the que on Netflix, I get messed up on where everything is. lol

[EviLZeD]

i liked dragon ball z but until i watched outlaw star i started to love anime

my favs are elfen lied, full metal alchemist, outlaw star ofc, deathnote (what an ending) and claymore i do like bleach and naruto but not as much

i usually find them uploaded on popular video sites sometimes download them from sub sites

Gilgamesh is one that you have to pay your undivided attention to. It is hard to follow.


@everyone - What's your watching preference? Dubbed or Subbed.

I'm a subtitles man, with a few exceptions. I actually prefer GITS:SAC and BeBop in English dub.


Also forgot to mention a few important favs.

BeBop and Crest/Banner of the Stars. Both amazing space series.

[hat]

Heh...

Full Metal Alchemist caught my attention... I watched DBZ as a kid but I don't really care for it anymore, Inuyasha was kind of cool but the ending blew nuts, Deathnote kicks ass, and Bleach is cool too, but I have no idea whether it's even done being made yet in Japan, or where the English dub people are with it...

are you talking about Bleach ?

[Cold Storm]

I watch both wile-e. I watch subtitles when i watch a series like Samurai 7, Gun Sword, Samurai Deeper Kyo. Where as if i'ts just a movie that may not have a series like, voices of a distant star, The Place Promised in Our Early Days, then I go for dubbed.
I really like Makoto Shinkai, but Animatrix I dis liked... don't know why? But I never really could get in it...

Wile-e I loved Bebop.. the two movies... my god were good!

[das müffin mann]

ya i prefer gits and bebop dubbed
bleach doesn't matter for me if its subbed or not
any body ever watch trigun that was a great one

[Cold Storm]

Trigun was the first series that I owned fully... Loved that series... If you like trigun, try watching Gun Sword.. Same style of anime. Funny one second, then serious the next...

[EviLZeD]

ya i prefer gits and bebop dubbed
bleach doesn't matter for me if its subbed or not
any body ever watch trigun that was a great one

ye i saw that it was a funny series vash the stampede =D

[das müffin mann]

ill check it out when i get a chance, right now im watching death note and its a pretty good series

[Cold Storm]

ill check it out when i get a chance, right now im watching death note and its a pretty good series


Really good series... I jump back and forth watching animes.. watching 4 series right now... Good old netflix!

[Wile E]

ye i saw that it was a funny series vash the stampede =D

You think that's funny, you should see the titles of the soundtracks.

First Donut, Second Donut, and Spicy Stewed Donut. Note that's how Donut is spelled on the CDs.

And yeah, Trigun is another of my favs. I can watch it either subbed or dubbed, I'm indifferent as both tracks were done very well.

Just got done watching Tenjou Tenge. Great series, terrible ending. It's an open ending, and I hate that. I think they want you to buy the mangas to finish the story line. Still a worthy watch tho.

[Cold Storm]

I watched Tenjou Tenge a few months ago.. wait.. almost a year ago. It was a awesome series, just made you want more.. Almost like Full Metal Panic! but that series is still going on... the second season wasn't to great, but the first and still watching the third is pretty good.

I bet you like the fact that the older sister could transform into a hot chick!?! Then threw up when you found out the real Identity of the throwing knives girl huh???
Sorry with not saying names... Spelling is bad on them.. lol

For Full Metal Panic!, the real second season is The Second Raid. Fumoffu was just a spin-off spoof type thing. Thrown in there for no real reason other than to entertain while waiting for TSR.

[Cold Storm]

the second season was pretty nice. I did laugh my a$$ off.
I'm all for the "building your spirit" type of anime. Anyone ever heard of Coyote Ragtime Show? I've been watching it on the In damand thing of bright house. And its pretty nice.. got the nice looking chicks and so forth.. lol

I'll have to dig thru my back-ups and see if I can find it.

I'm currently watching Ergo Proxy in a 720p rip.

[Cold Storm]

sweet.. Ergo is like Gilgamesh to me.. I keep watching the first dvd, first few eps., and I forget all about it...
There is two "goth" type animes I loved the most. Trinity Blood, and Hellsing.

Started Trinity, but forgot about it. (I do that a lot. lol)

Love Hellsing. Have you checked out Hellsing Ultimate? It follows the manga more closely, but is largly the same story line so far. Better animation, too.

Which leads me to more stuff lol: Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust. 2 great movies.

[mandelore]

neon genesis Evangelion, nuff said ;) (looks down at sig)

a like a few more, but thats by far the best

I know the feeling on forgot about it! thats why i have so many dvd's in my que... so i don't! lol.. like all ways I've watched the first dvd of hellsing Ultimate, and forgot it.. It was A LOT better then the org. I have to say.

Vampire Hunter D was great. Both are a top fav. of mine. I really fell in love with Blood. But the series just made me want to wish I never watched it... It was good, but it wasn't as good as the 1 hour movie! lol

[das müffin mann]

i loved vampire hunter d they were great flicks

[das müffin mann]

i never could really get into blood

wow that sounds kinda bad if you dont read the posts above

[Wile E]

It was good, but it wasn't as good as the 1 hour movie! lolYeah, exactly what I thought about Blood+, Blood: The Last Vampire was way better. They made Saya(sp?) way too girly in the series. I watched the first 20 or so episodes thinking it would get better, cause some anime does develop slowly (Eureka7 come to mind, doesn't get good until almost the second season, but it was worth holding out for), but I gave up after that.

@Mand - Did you know there's a new Eva movie on the way? It's in theatres in Japan now. There's a screener floating around. PM for info. lol.

[das müffin mann]

i also enjoyed samurai champloo, my friend pam got me hooked on it before she left for japan

[NeoCrisis]

neon genesis avangelion, nuff said ;) (looks down at sig)

a like a few more, but thats by far the best

Evangelion!! anywho I cant wait to watch the rebuild of it.... The CG of New Tokyo rising up from the ground looks amazing!!!

Samurai Champloo was good great action scenes but the main story was very weak =/

Currently watching:
Bleach
Clannad
Hayate no Gotoku
H2O - Footprints in the Sand
Minami-ke Okawari
Naruto
Rosario + Vampire
Shakugan no Shana 2
They are My Noble Masters

Winter season line up kinda sucks =/

oh yeah. I'm with you on blood+ and also Eureka 7... Forgot all about it, and now on to the second season And I'm lost! lol..
BTW what anime mag. do anyone read? I know its quite pricey but I get Newtype-usa. Its pretty nice and has a lot more then just anime this or that...

[Wile E]

[Cold Storm]

I don't read any anime mags. The net is more up to date with info, news and releases.

Then what websites? I guess I'm googling her wrong!?!? lol... Haven't found any websites good... but then again, I'm googling wrong...

[btarunr]

Wow, I didn't know Anime was liked so much by the west. :eek:

[NeoCrisis]

I guess I'm googling her wrong!?!? lol... Haven't found any websites good...

Maybe you should be a bit more gentle and buy her dinner first....
AnimeNano.com is another way to get info but its all Bloggers
anidb.net is a nice online Database it also has a calender to show what new animes and ovas are being released

[Cold Storm]

Wow, I didn't know Anime was liked so much by the west. :eek:

Its huge in the United States. We have so many Cosplays a year that its not even funny! Love that stuff!

[NeoCrisis]

I wouldnt say huge nor big. Huge/big would mean mainstream and anime is far from it. Its just like any other sub culture here in the US. It has its supports and when they go hard core they go hard core

[Cold Storm]

I wouldnt say huge nor big. Huge/big would mean mainstream and anime is far from it. Its just like any other sub culture here in the US. It has its supports and when they go hard core they go hard core

Well, where you have the money for it, it's huge... Mostly its like you say... Mainstream would be great, but the government, and old people can't take into account for how it is growing... but why not? we dress for cosplay like our founding fathers did for the balls they threw...
Who here in the us can watch the Anime Network? I just get the video-in-demand stuff....

[Cold Storm]

You know, after looking at X fires avatar, I remember a anime I liked a lot.. Get Backers... anyone else know if it?

[Mussels]

Can I make a suggestion please?

When you list your favourite anime, could you please put at least a brief summary of what's it's about as well.

:)

thats a lot of effort for some of us - wiki is a great place to check for anime summaries (thats where i go)

i have to drop the girl off at a friends house, when i come back i will list my all time fav animoo. It.... may take a while. hehehe. (gimme 3-4 hours)

Crap. Can't believe I forgot that one too. lol.

It's a really old movie... but one of the best, still!


At the same time (years ago), I also watched a non-anime movie called...Shogun Assassin :rockout: (JAP Movie). I watched it when I was in the UK studing, and It was banned there from 1978 untill 1987..... Had many anime elements, especially the background sceenes and atmosphere of battles.

but all around i would have to say Eureka 7 for the strong character development, story, and action sequences ive probably watched that series 3 or 4 times now.
Death Note, Lucky Star, Ef-a tail of memories, Genshiken, Elfen Lied, Initial D, Kanon are also up there as my favs. Also Basilisk just cuz its like Naruto but on Acid!

Subed or dubed don't make a difference but about a year back Animax our only source of anime(apart from Cartoon Network) tried to air in Hindi but luckily its back to english. Cartoon network comes in telugu though.

death note and macross 7. win.

death note has to be #1, simply because of its design. The show never lets up - there is never a dull moment, the plot is constant (it mutates as it goes, but its the same plot evolving - its not like it suddenly changes) the show was planned out start to finish before airing, so its perfectly balanced - few shows make me sit there and watch start to finish without even taking a break.

Macross was just unique. Without even seeing the originals it all made sense, the music is perfect for the show and nothing else has come close to it in this genre -cause there isnt anything like it!

Runners up: Gurren lagann, eureka 7.

[Cold Storm]

I'm watching Death Note right now, and Macross 7 was one of the best!

[Mussels]

i edited the post for details, didnt think of that before posting :)

[Cold Storm]

Yeah, just read it.

Rurouni Kenshin, robotech and dragonball z were the first ones to ever get me hooked
devil may cry is wicked
i cant believe i forgot the gundam series
there was also one that was a game, which caused me to look up the show anyone know what im talking about

but my all time favs have to be the final fantasy movies, ghost in the shell movies/series and death note just an excellent plot which is hard to find these days

prob the reason why i like these so much is im going to school for animation/game design and i want to make something by my senior year the is comparable to final fantasy(not as long of course) also anime usually have very good plots for their shows

this isnt really considered anime but i love the show metalocalypse :D

anyone thats into cars and anime MUST watch Initial D but Stay away from the DUB version its horrible in every way.

[Cold Storm]

The signature looks damn good jr, just opty needs to go for ether Full metal or Ghost. I have nothing but love for opty, but the main stream of people here just scream for the other two! I do love how it looks. And if I get photoshop to work tomorrow I'll make one up.. When your done let us know so i can pop it on the front..

Dragonball Z is back on Cartoon Network on monday through Saturday. all at 10:30 before Adult Swim comes on. Just reliving the "Good Old Days"... You can't go wrong with 10 o'clock on Cartoon Network. Two of the biggest shows for an hour.... We could count Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon but by far Naruto and DBZ is Cartoon Networks whores..

I'll see what I can do on that sound track for you I.r.a. I saw it and it looks like a pretty nice one!
All right all off to work on the front.. Asking for everyone still to pm me on their TOP TWO. that way I can post it on the first post. Thanks all for the support of this... I didn't think we'd hit almost 100 posts in just little over two days.

i know this has nothing to do with anime but angel was a great show i wish they didn't cancel it when they did, now for something that has to do with anime i believe gungrave was the show i was thinking about but im not sure

They had gungrave on air for awhile, but their was mixed reviews about it so sci-fi just went whatever and it jumped back and forth... one week you were on eps. 8 then the next you where at 14... so its a anime that if you didn't watch on places like Stage 6 (www.stage6.com) then you lost out on it.

go download death note. its a great way to start your day!

[tkpenalty]

go download death note. its a great way to start your day!

DEFINATELY!


(Please note that Tkpenalty is an extreme death note addict/fan.)

I'd recommend downloading the Japanese subbed version and not the dub thats in english. The Japanese sub is far better in every sense... Anyway, I have yet to see an anime that is consistently better than Death Note. Everything else, is wishy washy in comparison. (Kira ftw)

Because Zeta is the best Gundam series ever...
Let me guess...you watched Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network? Yeah, I hated it too.

+1 on hating Gundam Wing. Gundam Wing had a great idea. But it had a really crapped up storyline. Gundam 00 can be called as the spiritual successor with a similar thing going on. (Done MUCH better in this case). On Gundam 00, I note how many things its similar to, FMP (with Gauron/Kashim, but now Sarshes/Setsuna F Seiei), Death Note (the reaction from the world to celestial being), Gundam Wing (with the technology thats godlike + science).

[Mussels]

i think i'll go add gundam 00 to my... acquirance queue.

There is a lot of yeah and no's on the whole Gundam thing. I, for one, says "yeah". I'll watch all of them over and over again. I'm big on mech building so the whole Gundam series.

@jr, get with me on msn and we'll talk anime.. get you in to some good stuff!!!

Oh yeah they are! I've watched everyone and I'm trying to watch eureka 7. There is one I can't think about right now.. maybe, Mussels, you'll help me.. There was 5 parts that made this one big Mecha. The guy that plioted one of the arms, came to them to find out about his lost sister. I believe they were called "knights"
And for the others its not voltron! it was made I believe 2006.

[cooler]

mononoke is another show


here some info about the show

Mononoke develops a character who was created in the "Bake Neko" arc of Ayakashi ~ Japanese Classic Horror. It revolves around a mysterious Medicine Seller’s battles with restless spirits called Mononoke. He carries a sword which can exorcise these spirits but is powerless to use it unless the people involved admit to the events that have created the spirits. The elements form (name of the spirit) truth (what occurred) and Regret (what makes the spirits act as they do) must be present. Silence must be broken and those involved must reveal all that has been kept hidden.

this show is not for everyone

[Cold Storm]

Cooler: It sounds like a pretty nice show to watch on my standards. I'll have that as one of the 300+ that I want to look at.
BTW. I was searching for pictures on Google, and I found this Anime site (http://www.animeviewer.net) where you can watch anime... Anyone heard of it?!?!

baka neko means stupid cat :D mononoke is more or less monsters. stupid cat monsters ftw!

'arc of akayashi' is whats confusing me. many anime use that terminology to seperate the various storylines, so is that part of another show, or actually a full title of a show?

[xfire]

Any law of ueki fans?

[Cold Storm]

I think it sounds like a nice little piece to look at my self... Mussels, out of ALL your collection, What do you say to someone who's never watched Anime before to start?
Or to anyone, Where should a person start when they watch anime?

[cooler]

mononoke is set during japan's edo period, which stretched from 1603 to 1868.during this
time, the tokugawa shogunate governed from the capital city of edo, now know as tokyo.
they established a new order in which the samurai were brought under theit rule, as were all those
beneath them

the term "mononoke" was also left untranslated.mononoke differ from other japanese spirits in name,
and scholars like to argue about what differentiates them beyond this.
"spirit" is and adequate definition

[xfire]

I just remembered now
Girl from Hell
One of the best. Its an horror anime. The hell girl get revenge for you by taking the one you want to take revenge on to hell,in exchange for your soul going to hell after you die your natural death. You contact her by her website which appears at midnight.
Really a must watch.

[Mussels]

I think it sounds like a nice little piece to look at my self... Mussels, out of ALL your collection, What do you say to someone who's never watched Anime before to start?
Or to anyone, Where should a person start when they watch anime?

depends on their interests. I love death note, because psychology interests me. Its all about human vs. human, and not superpowers or giant mecha.

People who want mecha, eureka 7. People who want mecha combined with... awesome and win? macross 7.

People who want mecha and love over the top action/upbeat shows, its gurren lagann.

Each show is different and suited to a different person - reviews rarely carry across the 'soul' of a show, and you have to watch them to understand them. If i were to tell you a summary of gurren lagann it would sound stupid - but the excellent way it pulled it off makes it one hell of a show if you go in there with no expectations, anod no clue whats coming ahead.

[Cold Storm]

all right, how about this... looking for pictures, I was looking at Death Note. Have you, Mussels, or anyone else watched the LIVE Death Note Movie?

@mussels, I'm there with you on that.. but it was made by the japanese so I believe it could be all right... when the Japs make remakes of anything they do a good job.. Hell, most of the horror flicks I watch and love have been from japan... but don't ask me to say the names! lets just say they where the org. and us Americans screwed them up!

Gundam 00 is the first Gundam series to be shown in purely HD :)

+1 on hating Gundam Wing. Gundam Wing had a great idea. But it had a really crapped up storyline. Gundam 00 can be called as the spiritual successor with a similar thing going on. (Done MUCH better in this case). On Gundam 00, I note how many things its similar to, FMP (with Gauron/Kashim, but now Sarshes/Setsuna F Seiei), Death Note (the reaction from the world to celestial being), Gundam Wing (with the technology thats godlike + science).

Gundam Wing was made to be a lot more...showy I suppose. It was meant to appeal to the kids, which is why they missed out 99% of the technology and went for purely action.

If you watch the original Gundam, yes the Gundam is powerful, but it's NOT invincible and it shows stuff like it running out of power. Problems in development. That kind of thing. There is a lot more depth to the mecha side of things. Wing is just action and story. Nothing more.

Gundam 00, I guess you could say is there chance to get Wing right. The Gundam are essentially invincible, however any one who has watched Episode 15 will notice that they are not all that powerful, and there is still technology behind the Gundams that we have not seen yet.

Wing was as much a failure as G Gundam in terms of being an actual Gundam series. Well at least that's my opinion, and the opinion of many others.

Just thought I would let you guys know, ADV Filmes (the biggest anime film producer) has chose to be Blu-ray exclusive. However, I've heard from a lot of people anime movies don't look good in HD.

yeah, the website that Wile-e posted it showed it as front along with adv films taking off big name movies to make room for the blu-ray


I think i need to work on that first post with websites.. thanks ravenas. Btw, whats the next avatar going to be!?!?

stage6 is a haven for virii.

[Namslas90]

stage6 is a haven for virii.

Yes, watch the length of time of download...it you think it's takin too long its probably a virus. If it looks like pron it is probably a virus. Stick to the anime and it's (mostly) safe.

[Cold Storm]

Right, if you know your way around that site, then your pretty good... if the title doesn't look right, then its a virus...

[Cold Storm]

All right everyone. I updated the first post. So if there is anything you guy want to add, pm me. Thanks again

Dont forget shakugan no shana 2nd - the 2nd season has a different name to the original, so its a little harder to find. Its available in 720p as well, its damned good looking.


whats claymore about alot of people say its good so i may check it out
Claymore is about excessive violence, and something along the lines of vampires/demons.

I loved this one anime movie that was about this fortress, and the enemy had what seemed to be just developed gunpowder and guns. Was a very good anime, just can't remember the name.

I loved the Pokemon cartoon when I was a kid (5-8). This may sound dumb lol... I used to get up and eat cereal and watch pokemon.

Afro Samurai was awesome. Final Fantasy of course. I loved Animatrix.

[Random Murderer]

This may sound dumb lol... I used to get up and eat cereal and watch pokemon.

i used to do the same thing!

[Cold Storm]

We all use to do that! i would put my alarm on for the sci-fi channel 1am show when i was young. Oh, the good old days... lol

[das müffin mann]

yup everyday before and after school when i was younger, the original pokemon couldn't be beaten when i was little, gengar was always my favorite, but now they have all that stupid new pokecrap

[ChillyMyst]

I'm watching Fate/stay Night right now, and Claymore is on my netflix account... what did you think of Fate?

fates very good, the dubs of claymore i saw sucked, the fansubs are better, this is true many times.

as to claymore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore_(manga)

very good seirse, people who love the manga bitch about the eps of the anime after 20 because they drasticly change the story, WHO CARES I JUST WANT MORE!!!!!..


if you want a good serise thats JUST PLAIN FUN and the dubs ROCK, you want SLAYERS, all of the slayers seirse/movies have kickass dubs, the voices are VERY VERY good(dead on in most cases) slayers kicks ass period.....anybody who dosnt agree needs shot by the anime police :)

if you want a list of good places to get anime pm me, i dont mean illegal places per say, i got alot of places to get anime i just dont feel like posting them here and now when i have them posted 2 other places already :)

[das müffin mann]

what is slayers about when i search for it all i get is slayer the best fucking band ever of buffy the really hot chick with a very un-intimidating name slayer

[Cold Storm]

Slayers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayers)

there you go.. slayers

[Random Murderer]

Slayers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayers)

[ChillyMyst]

Claymore is about excessive violence, and something along the lines of vampires/demons.

nope no vampires, demons yes, and violance yes, but i wouldnt call it truely excessive, you want excessive, elfenlied is where its at!!!!!(it needs another season!!!!)

I wish Pokemon would be released on Blu-ray. I would buy it if it were!

[das müffin mann]

i remember waiting 3 hrs in line to go see the original pokemon movie, and to get my uber limited edition cards that movie was god like when i was a kid and it raised so many moral and political issues, like cloning is bad unless you make friends with your evil clones, although i always did think mewtoo was so much more badass then mew

[Mussels]

nope no vampires, demons yes, and violance yes, but i wouldnt call it truely excessive, you want excessive, elfenlied is where its at!!!!!(it needs another season!!!!)

theres weird monsters that eat human flesh. Thats close enough.

Elfenlied is excessive too, but the point is its not kids anime - most anime has toned down violence, claymore isnt.

[Ravenas]

Yeah, I still have my mewtoo card from the movies, it's put up in a folder somewhere!

Lol, I think South Park put Pokemon best!

[das müffin mann]

i got ripped off the first time i went to see that movie because they said "they didn't receive there uber badass pokemon cards yet" so 4 more trips to the movie and one very annoyed dad later i finally got those cards, which a few days later i sold to a card shop for a charzard :D

[Cold Storm]

I've watched almost every single pokemon show and movie besides of the last one... its my serect love! lol

[das müffin mann]

what ever happened to digimon? it just kinda died out

also i just watched the end to death note and it is freakin awesome

and i also watched the ending to gits:2nd gig and that is also one of my fav endings to any serires

[Ravenas]

I just realized this... Yu Gi Oh is made by the same people that make Metal Gear Solid! Lol...That is great.

[Cold Storm]

Digimon was ended... it was a great series but it died off after they just changed it up...
I'm still watching death note... and Ghost in the shell is one of my top 3... got to love that stuff!

[DOM]

also i just watched the end to death note and it is freakin awesome
where do you dl them :D

[das müffin mann]

pirate bay was the only place where i found a decent copy

[Cold Storm]

I just realized this... Yu Gi Oh is made by the same people that make Metal Gear Solid! Lol...That is great.


but remember this... it was made in japan as manga, and after the manga got popular they desided to make the CARD game.. and from that they went with the show.... Oh my god.. i didn't want to remember the card game! spent so much on it!

[das müffin mann]

if its forefather of the collectible card games pokemon taught us anything its that we have to collect them all, and be the best pokemaster or yugimaster out there so you could laugh and make fun of the ten year old next to you because he didn't have the uber rare holographic charzard...those were the days i loved 4th grade

ps we all remember that card game even if we dont want to admit it:roll:

[ChillyMyst]

theres weird monsters that eat human flesh. Thats close enough.

Elfenlied is excessive too, but the point is its not kids anime - most anime has toned down violence, claymore isnt.

not really, most anime in the states is super edited, in japan its far more voilant, infact onepeice is VERY violant if you watch the subs, but the dubs are bastardized....horrible.


there are diffrent classes of anime, just like here in the states there are diffren classes of tv, theres kid shows, family shows, mature shows, adult shows.
in japan not only kids/teens watch anime, much anime is made for adults(not hentia you pervs!!! :D )

you want an anime u DONT want kids to watch, specly b4 bed, Akiria(sp) seen more then 1 kid wake screeming from that movie :D

[Cold Storm]

oh your all right on different types.. I go for them all.. thats why i put on the first post there is so many different types! my god I've seen so much violance like Hellsing, to not a lot with trigun.. another anime like trigun but a little more ronchy.... Desert Punk!
As for the trading card games... Pokemon got big then went away.. still around for some, but it has no prize support... then there is yu-gi-oh. It died around Dark Beginnings sets came out when you could get an injection fairy lilly for a dollar... but now is reamped all around...
But i gave up all that stuff for Vs System and Magic....

[das müffin mann]

did anyone else wonder why pokemon just "fainted" and never died

ya when i was i wanna say 11 i got ahold of my brothers vhs of akira and back then i thought it was messed up, but looking back on it, it was really cool, im gunna see if my vcr still works so i can watch it :D

[DOM]

pirate bay was the only place where i found a decent copy

how many are there of Death Note ? 1- ??

[Random Murderer]

how many are there of Death Note ? 1- ??

80 something i think...

[das müffin mann]

i only got the first season (according to the torrent) im not sure if theres more than that but as far as i know there is only the first season

[Cold Storm]

I have akira sitting right next to me from netflix... love that place! there is quite a bit of death note.. go to stage6 or animecrazy and you'll find more...

[NeoCrisis]

how many are there of Death Note ? 1- ??
There are 37 eps of Death Note and 12 manga tankoubons (volumes) 2 live action movies and a spin off of L (Ryuuzaki) in the making... not sure if its gonna be live action or anime.

Funny you mention Akira. tho Ive never watched the dubed version I met the eng voice dub for him a while back.. hes also the same voice for the eng digimon character some lil orange dinosaur

[Cold Storm]

All right guys.. I've added a movie rental place to go to with the US.. if there is any places to rent dvd's in any part of the world... Anime wise, let me know.. and everyone that posted today I'll look back tomorrow after work and add everything to the first post.. if i forget anything PM me. Thanks all!

[Mussels]

i only got the first season (according to the torrent) im not sure if theres more than that but as far as i know there is only the first season

death note has two seasons i beleive. i cant say what changed without spoiling it.

Btw people... its hentai, not hentia. lol.

If anyone wants help finding shows in HD (720p, or 480p x264 if non widescreen) send me a PM and i'll help you find them. It really does make a big difference seeing all the detail, far beyond even DVDs can show.

SEQUEL! :toast::toast::toast::D

i think i'll wait til a few more eps are out, and then gladly get it - the wait between eps would kill me.

[Cold Storm]

im w/you on that mussels! It sounds great, but if i have to wait for it, it rather have more to look at! Its to big of a tease right now

[das müffin mann]

can anybody recommend anything good i stayed home today(sick) so i am board
I've watched ghost in the shell, devil may cry, death note, gundam, Rouroni kenshin, samurai champloo,stuff like like
so anything militaristic would be cool but right now im open to anything:D

[ChillyMyst]

download claymore!!!!

[das müffin mann]

i did and i must say its quite good, i also stumbled across a show called the black blood brothers its not to bad

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

beating out some trigun now ...

[Cold Storm]

if you like Claymore and the Black book brothers... check out Chrono Crusade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrono_Crusade) Its a pretty good anime. I really got into it. Sorta felt like Trigun type feel..

I.r.a. What do you use to dj??? and when you do, is it a lot of anime stuff or what??

Also guys. I want to add a section to the first post. "Noobs of Anime" I want to know what everyone has to say about how to get someone into Anime. Anything and everything. PM me if you want or add it here.. I'll try and spend more time going through the 9 pages! God, 9 pages in 3-4 days.... We must like the stuff!?!

[Mussels]

my housemate is a perfect example of irrational anime hate. Her first anime was evangelion and FLCL, and she thinks they were crap and confusing - mostly she hated the endings.

She refuses to watch any anime at all... except pokemon 'its a cartoon, not anime' - because its in english.

Anime beginners should buy/download dual audio eps, so they can listen to the english (horrible) dubs until they get used to reading subtitles.

[Ravenas]

Need to watch an Anime. Which movie should I watch? I want something with military and a good story.

[das müffin mann]

ghost in the shell!!!!!!!!!

[Mussels]

Need to watch an Anime. Which movie should I watch? I want something with military and a good story.

most anime are series, not movies. The movies are often sequels/remakes of a series.

More info - Naruto and bleach both fit your requirement, but 'military' is a loose term. The japanese dont have an army thanks to world war II, so military might not be the best term here.


GITS is probably good like muffin said.

[das müffin mann]

cowboy bebop maybe that was a great one

a few of the better gundam series

[Cold Storm]

Full Metal Panic... real good military, Madlax, and also Gunperade.. and Ghost in the Shell i don't know if the last one is spelled right..
Madlax is a girl that lost her memories and trying to find them while being a mers. pretty deep
and I haven't watched much of Gun.. so i really can't say, but it was good so far...

and Mussels I know your feeling.. my ex-fiance watched Esaflowne and was like wtf... so she wouldn't watch any more anime with me.. but then started because of her brother.. lol

[das müffin mann]

i forgot about full metal panic, also full metal alchemist has some military elements to it

[Cold Storm]

yeah full metal does. but he'd like Panic a lot. more mil. bang for your buck.. the same with Ghost.. some sweet stuff

[das müffin mann]

hell ya those three are hands down some of my favs

[Cold Storm]

looking through netflix's que... Gunslinger girls where pretty good.. and Noir for the combat..

[das müffin mann]

trigun great plot and action, devil may cry-the show is just wicked, Samurai Champloo- great action and funny at times, Inuyasha- if you like watching demons getting hacked up, i liked it, if i remember gungrave was good its been a while since i've watched it, vampire hunter d- awesome movies, i thought the second was the better of the two, of course the final fantasy movies-the spirits within was very militaristic, the second one was based off of FFVII need i say more, and of course death note you may have already seen it but it is by far one of the best ive seen in a long time

[Cold Storm]

oh yeah. they all where. im going through devil right now.. waiting on a bigger hdd.. lol... to much stuff!

[Mussels]

i only just watched trigun - great action show with plot, but its not 'military' - theirs no armies beating each other up.

Samurai champloo might do it, its a mix of samurai and comedy

[Cold Storm]

yeah your right.. not a lot... If you loved ninja scroll then you might get into Samurai Champloo...

[das müffin mann]

Rurouni Kenshin did have a bit of a militaristic action it if i remember it was more in the second season

[Cold Storm]

The more in deep into that series, the more you found out bout how he was in his "other life" and if you like them.. did you watch the three movies also? the one that was made for after the series, the one that was made for the fun of it, and the one that thought you about the "cross shaped scar" on his cheek?
MY favorite MOVIE... TRUST AND BETRAYAL

[das müffin mann]

no i didn't even know there were 3 movies, also Samurai X was a pretty good one if i remember

[Cold Storm]

:banghead: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurouni_Kenshin) <--- Click

Rurouni Kenshin was SAMURAI X... its Kenshin in Japan and Samurai X in United States! lol.. :nutkick:
Sorry had to do that... my favorite series.. and it is on the first post... or at least my post on what I love!

[das müffin mann]

really i had no idea :O

[das müffin mann]

ive only ever seen one episode of samurai x so that may be why :D

[Cold Storm]

sorry man, favorite show of all time.. made me the person I am... you'd really have to watch Trust and Betrayal. Its a very deep movie. and you'll love it...

[das müffin mann]

dl it right now thanks, kenshin is by far one of my favs to, got into it right around the same time as dbz and the original ghost in the shell movie

[Cold Storm]

welcome! Reflections was the other one..
and the motion picture...
you may have to look under Samurai X on it...
They have Trust, and Betrayal as seperate movies.. but the one together was way better since it was the same two but made into one disc...

[das müffin mann]

i think i may have actually seen reflections at some point

[Cold Storm]

yeah, that was the movie that happened after the show ended... it was cheesy in my thoughts on it

[Mussels]

the movies for kenshin, was because they ruined the plot in the anime.

The trust and betrayal movies were part of the manga that was cut in the anime - if you compare manga and anime, they even cut out entire characters.

If you wondered why a few things didnt match up perfectly between the movies and anime, thats why.

[das müffin mann]

is reflections the one where whats her face gets kidnapped(will edit when i remember her name:) )

[Cold Storm]

Kamiya Kaoru.. and yeah it is... the guy is trying to get Kenshin to show is true form... so he can fight the STRONGEST person..

[das müffin mann]

ya i remember, i thought it was decent, but i never got why people wanted to keep trying to fight him at his strongest form, quite a few people before him tried that and got there arses kicked pretty badly,except for that burn victim dude, he just kinda died to to over heating, thought it was kinda lame, but hey it worked

[Cold Storm]

that fight, was by far that best fight... they went at it, kenshin was on the verge of death. and Reisui just couldn't take the pressure of how his body was... it was a classic in my thoughts

[das müffin mann]

ya it was great, and his personality just made that whole season so much better, i mean he was just so evil and sadistic, he made a great villain, although the only thing i didn't lik
