What is the Matrix?

[�io]

Just thought i post this. I myself can't wait till February, it will help take my mind off PS a bit. :p

Coming in February, THE 2ND RENAISSANCE: PART ONE will be the first of THE ANIMATRIX episodes to launch, with more to follow. In fact, there will be new episodes to download right through the months leading to the event we are all waiting for, the May 15th premier of THE MATRIX: RELOADED. While we are not releasing all nine online (as there is a DVD on the way), those we are encoding will be complete and uncut, pulled directly from the digital source files.

And for the unenlightened The Animatrix is a (very cool)DvD being released next year with 9 anime stories based on the Matrix told by 7 different directors. It's not The Matrix in anime, it's really totally different stories(well 1 looks like The Matrix in anime) showing us all kinds of cool Matrix stuff including how humans killed the sky. :D

pfft! rookie!

To truly appreciate anime you must see Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost in the shell and i'm sure a few others i haven't seen. Patlabor and Macross are also 2 excellent choices.

[Stalefish]

Hey Zero, I'm not big into the anime scene. It's almost banned in Utah. Silly mormons. :p

I'm content with Lord of the Rings for now. :)

[Doobz]

i loved the macross movies.

[Zumthor]

i havent seen very many anime movies, but Metropolis was pretty amazing.

[Duritz]

Macross, Cowboy Bebop (i love the music), and Ghost in the Shell have to be my favorites. But there are so many others its hard to choose.

OMG!! I almost forgot Ranma 1/2 :), that show is frickin hilarious!!!

[Navaron]

I really liked fist of the north star and ninja scroll. Those were the first (and only) anime (I guess that's what they are) I have ever seen.

[�io]

Ninja scroll didn't bode well with me. It varies too much from really "slow scene, not much action more story" to "ACTION FIGHT SCENE" it's weird.

[Navaron]

Sorry dio, I didn't mean to let you down. :(

[�io]

It's ok Navaron, i forgive....well....yeah ok i forgive you...i think...

:D

Seriously NinjaScroll was ok but i just liked Macross, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost in the shell and others more. :)

[Toimu]

I forgot about First of the North Star. I wish I could punch that hard :)

The first Rurouni Kenshin are good.

The Maxx has a nice confusing story.

Boihasard is ok, nothing great.

Vanpire Hunter D, I know I know, but I liked it.

La Blue Girl, must be 18+ to rent/buy, still has a good story and some nice fighitng.

Trigun

Dragon Ball, Z, GT. I love this!

Urotsukidoji, I love this one. One of my favorites.

Yuyu Hakusho, not all that, but I watch it some.

Most of what everyone else said above is good or great.

[TerraxNovae]

Hmm... as I was reading the thread I thought to myself, I wonder if anyone will mention La Blue Girl or Legend of the Overfiend.

Glad to see I wasn't disappointed ;)


BTW, for those who haven't seen Urotsukidoji (and yet are semi-fit for real society), you will wind up looking like this: (in about this order)
:O_O:
:confused:

Animatrix = Matrix in Anime.

It's not called Hentaimatrix. Hentai does NOT = Anime. :)

[Navaron]

Damn you guys, I've seen 2 of these things and you keep talking about them and how cool they are, I'm about to go to the movie store. Someone owes me 4.50.

[mistled]

cowboy bebop is fun to watch... haven't seen most of the stuff you guys are talking about though :(

[skin]

nah, ninja scroll owned, unfortunately ninja scroll 2 was far too short. the plot and violence was great, but just not enough content...
there was only one backstab FFS! :flamemad:

p.s. Akira owns me

[DiosT]

I heard Blood wasnt too great...

Ninja scroll was.. ok.. not my favorite type of anime though

[DiosT]

La lue Girl: Only 'story' connects umm.. 18+ scenes...

I like the comedy anime, those are great.... Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Maze...

Don't care for the Hentai...


*** anime hack/slashes are great though...

Berserk !! love this series! Decent/good Story + great great animation + realistic combat tactics + nice characterization :evildrop:

Vamp Hunter D ... Need i say more? Badass!



DBZ sucked =p at least the ones they show on Toonami, fight scenes are drawn out far, far, far, far, far too long... Late Dragonball/Early DBZ are the only parts i really liked, after frieza and when they start getting into Super Sayian 2+ it jsut all sucks =p

[Hamma]

:huh:

[Lexington_Steele]

Ninja scroll was awesome. Ninja scroll reserection wasn't really ninja scroll 2. (it was a different character, both named Jubei, but with different last names). If you are not talking about ninja scroll resserection let me know. BTW, if you haven't seen ninja scroll reserection don't bother.

So far my all time favorite anime is the Cowboy Bebop series. Does anyone know where I can buy this series for a reasonable price (I am not trying to pay $30 for each of the 6 DvDs coming to a total of $180)?

Ghost in the Shell had extremely awesome animation but the plot didn't really do it for me. I heard something about a sequal to that one but have not seen it. If anyone know about the sequal to Ghost in the Shell let me know.

[NARF]

I only like cowboy bebop and outlaw star.
