All Things ANIME

Re: ANIME???

Just to chime in and sorta second what everybody has been saying, that some anime movies and series are downright amazing. Tops on my list is Cowboy Bebop, followed by Neon Genesis Evangelion (am I the only one who ordered Rei and Asuka?), FLCL and pretty much everything Miyazaki. Grave of the Fireflies is one of the saddest films I have ever seen, but it was breathtaking. Also a big fan of the original Blood (check this out if you like BTVS) Thanks for starting this thread, way cool topic!

Loved FLCL. The music was great.

Re: ANIME???

I absolutely LOVE anime, in it's original format without stupid dubs/cuts. This is freakily similar to carbo-fations list, but I try and jump on the latest fansubs for the following on-going anime:

Bleach (DB)
One Piece (K-F)
Naruto (DB)
Black Cat (Oyasumi)
Fate Stay Night (Eclipse)
Blood+ (Shinsen)
Ergo Proxy (Yoroshiku)
Mushishi (C1)
Noein (Shinsen)

Other notable mentions:

Gundam Seed (but not 'Gundam Seed Destiny' - which was absolute CRAP!)
Gun x Sword
Monster (only seen the first few eps)
Gun Grave
Basilisk
Samurai 7
Shakugan no Shana
Hellsing Ultimate OVA 1 (tho i liked the original series too)
Jin Roh - Movie
Final Fantasy - Advent Children Movie

Re: ANIME???

I thought I heard about a sequel to Blood awhile back, but it was taking things in a different direction. Let me talk to my anime friends and see if they recall anything about an upcoming sequel.

FLCL had great music, but it was so weird, and had a strange emotional undercurrent that really left a mark. I don't think I could properly explain any of what actually transpired, but the strange arc of the protagonist had me hooked. That and he had giant robots in his head.

Re: ANIME???

I don't know why but I was never too much into FLCL. I know a lot of people like it but it didn't do much for me.

@Winged Shadow: Finish watching Monster! It is a really good anime and as it progresses further it becomes very interesting. THe ending was rather unexpected as well.

Re: ANIME???

how about robotech?? i dont recall anyone mentioning this show yet. or even voltron!! does anyone have it?? how about swapping them for some of my anime??

 

[carbo-fation]

Re: ANIME???

I don't think they ever released Voltron on DVD. I knew a website that sells some episodes of Saber Rider, but nothing yet on Voltron. If they had it out, I would have definetly purchased it by now.

Re: ANIME???

man i thought i was the only person who has seen it..it was even on showtime a couple years ago. i was hoping they would make a sequel or something. i loved how super gory it was.

I'm not to fond of Blood: The Last Vampire. It was gory all right, but the story was kind of boring. Btw there IS a sequel: a TV series called "Blood+". I haven't seen it yet, but you better be prepared that the main character has undergone some drastically visual changes! It's not the same vampire slashing out there...check out this Japanese site for more info:

Re: ANIME???

I love Akira Kurosawa's films, especially Seven Samurai, which is why I am watching all the episode of SAMURAI SEVEN. . I love samurai anime, but not fond of those Vandread or Robotech anime. Also, naruto, Yu-gi-oh, Ninja Scroll, Ninja Resurrection, Jin-Roh, Dragonball Saga, Vampire hunter D, Miyasaki anime, ...

Question: What follows Ninja Resurrection? Please PM me. I really would like to find out what happens next. Thanks.

If you like bloody katana action, 'Samurai Champloo' is a must! The plot is a bit crazy: two samurai that are far from being friends, team up with a waitress to search a samurai that smells like...sunflower! It's on top of my wish list.

Re: ANIME???

Basilisk is definetely a good anime. I finished the complete series last month (only 24 Episodes) and I was saddened that it had ended so soon. Also, I highly recommend Fate/Night Stay and Trinity Blood. They are really suspenseful and action packed.

Try torrentspy.com or isohunt.com
I know they have them, but I am not sure how well they are seeded. I have a monthly subscription to Narutofan.com and I just download it from there directly. It is a lot faster and when you go to college and work full-time like I do, then 4 bucks a month is nothing for faster anime downloads.

did you watch that in divx format? how many divx movies do you have?

As mentioned above I downloaded it from Narutofan.com. I could play it on Wind. Media player, Real player, and Divx. I hope it helps. All of my movies are play-able on divx.

Re: ANIME???

They have been updating their anime list a lot lately. They have a 100+ anime and all of them are up to date. Are you also into manga?
