All Things ANIME

I started watching Claymore last night, only watched the first episode, but I gotta say pretty awesome. I like the art style and the story was pretty cool. I'll keep at it.

That anime is very intense. Trust me it gets even better. I'm more of a fan of serious anime and not really into the cute stuff.

This. I've also been reading the manga lately. Up until the last few eps, it's actually fairly accurate to the manga.

Absolutely bro. Gotta love the classics. It's the very first anime I ever purchased.

I remember renting the Streamline Pictures version of the movie from Blockbuster back when I was first getting into anime in the early 90's. At the time, I couldn't get into the character designs and nonsensical plot.

Since then, I've seen the error of my ways. In fact, I've been enjoying the new releases of the tv series more than just about everything else I've watched. I love how over-the-top everything is, especially the opening theme song.

"YOU IN SHOCK!!!!"

Highschool of the Dead just went up on Netflix instant. Watched a few more episodes of Claymore last night. Really digging it Claymore, and now im looking forward to HOTD.

Both are top notch and tied as my 3rd favorite anime.

Another great anime that some of you might like is Code Geass. It's similar to Death Note not in story, but in the lead characters who are both super intelligent yet have good and evil inside them. Both excellent.

Thinking of picking up Gunslinger Girls on blu ray, is it any good?

I enjoyed it

I havent seen all of Gunslinger Girls, but the few episodes I did see were pretty good.

Finished Angel Beats tonight. It took awhile to make sense of everything but it turned out to be a really good (and kinda sad) anime.

I still have the last episode to watch

Watched the first episode of House of the dead and I have to say I enjoyed it.

I have to admit I had to fight back tears in episode 10 and the final episode. The first anime to ever make me do that and one of the few TV shows or movies to make me do that aswell.

Just finished Clannad After Story. First movie or show to ever make me cry. Not the type of anime I usually prefer but I highly recommend it.

clannad is slow paced, but awesome

I heard clannad is terribly deprssing like the elfen lied manga and after reading that i didnt even bother to finish clannad.

Spoiler:

Heard the main girl and the main guys kid die.

It's definitely not the type of anime I normally watch. I actually watched it on a recommendation from a friend because I had mentioned I enjoyed Angel Beats.

Spoiler:

Indeed the wife and kid die and it is depressing at times. The episode where Nagisa (the wife) dies was sad but not the saddest thing on the planet but the scene where Ushio (the daughter) dies made me shed a tear or 2. Very first time I cried because of a TV show or movie. Still I recommend you give it a chance.

Check out Queen's Blade if you get a chance. The dirty elf girl is the best, I mean just look at her underwear.
