The Cool Anime Pictures Thread

[Kaikou]

I got all the Steel Angel Kurumi DVDs. I'm suprised it's rated 17+ o There's only a little bit of upper body female nudity. The rest of the story is really cute..kinda weird that it has a higher age rating than hellsing :x

I've got all of the chobits episodes downloaded (I was going to buy the DVDs but I found myself downloading every episode and finished overnight so I figured...) I'm usually not one to just download anime that I severely like, which chobits qualifies as. I usually will download the first 2-3 episodes, watch them, and decide from there if it's worth buying, or just downloading.

I like DVDs though because they make for some great AMV source footage which I do as a bored on a nothing to do night. Though none of my work is spectacular, it's more aimed at something to do, rather than to be a perfect piece of art. I might upload some of my AMVs to my comcast space but I dunno how much space I have total (let alone the bandwidth that would be used) so if anyone wants to see em, just say so and I'll provide a link.

On a side note...lots of these vids aren't finished except for an angelic layer one that really isn't very good. Other than that I have an unfinished DNA^2 vid, and a love hina vid that I was going to submit to AX2003 but didn't finish in time :x

Lol i just realised that was Mr Vulcan posting there and I started to think what star trek would be like in Anime form.....


"Cap'n i need more power!" "Scotty fire the Kamehameha!"

"Damn it Jim im a doctor not a lone samuri who has promised never to kill again."

"Hes dead Jim!"

"Deploy the grapler arms!!!"

"Sir we are approaching a planet surrounded by ship wreckage, cmputers identify it as planet gunsmoke, It has 5 moons 1 of which has a massive crater, goofyness of wanted people on Gunsmoke is high."

Very nice! I have yet to find anywhere to get them (other than Amazon, but I like to actually have things when I buy them)

I would love to see some of them, I have created 2 music vids, 1 Mechwarrior, 1 Anime (Trigun)

I will upload the trigun one somewhere if anyone would like to see it (though the end still isnt finished I have got to do that.

--------------------------------------------
Oh ya, and bebop, I recomend that NO ONE uses kazaa at all, since the gov has autherised a new scaning program that lets the movie and music industries scan all user's lists and sue them for any copyrigthed stuff. They will start using it Aug 6th, and plan on sending lawsuits to about 15000 users in the 1st month alone

Trigun owns but I prefer Hellsing and Kenshin

[Onizuka]

IMO

hellsing=eck
kenshin=need to see more of
trigun=pretty cool most of the time

(1) many anime characters are bada$$, just plain bada$$, human characters arnt that cool, ever
(2)in anime u will never say "that looks so fake" (unless ur really stupid) because it is, plain and simple,
(3)they can do stuff that even CGI cant make look real, demons (espcially Oni which arnt usually ur basic humanoid deamon w/ batwings) space ships, magic, CGI just cant make that look very good
got more reasons but to lazy

[NightWalker XI]

When it coems to anime there is only one big fact:

Rurouni Kenshin > all

[Onizuka]

this should be like an anime discussion sticky..... too bad hamma hates anime

[Kaikou]

petition for an Anime forum!


It'd get all us anime otakus out of you non-anime people's hair

*edit*

Not to mention there's a Political Debate forum...so why not anime? o

[shinken]

we could go to the animelyrics.com forums, they need more mature anime watchers any way, me and my friends are frustrated trying to teach the unwashed masses that DBZ is not anime

[Arakiel]

For some reason I can't get good DVD screencaps.. will play with that for a bit and post some pics later if I can get that figured out.

Personally, I think Trigun is overrated. I had a hard time getting into it, and everything about it just seemed bland and predictable. I understand the appeal, but it didn't appeal to me. Then again, I also had relatively negative feelings about Lain, and everyone else seems to love that, so maybe it's just me :P

I need to finish watching Kenshin. I saw a few episodes at the last LAN I was at, and it seemed fairly interesting.

RahXephon, Eva, and Bebop are probably the three series I enjoyed the most - Knocking on Heaven's Door was a bit weak, IMHO, but the end of that series itself is so beautiful that it made Bebop my favorite (for the moment, at least.)

[shinken]

if youve only seen a few eps of RK its gonna take you a while to watch all of it, and they leave out the last arc of the story in the anime, they only really finish it in the manga
P.S. how many post does it take to get to veteran, i went up and never noticed

[Kaikou]

RahXephon is probably one of the most beautifully animated anime series I have seen so far (course I'm only on episode 8) It just has a really unique feel to it as opposed to the usual way most anime is drawn. Take a look at the sig below for some examples to see what I mean... Only the most dedicated of otakus will see a big difference though

I have a feeling I'm gonna love this anime though, as I already "really really like it" at episode 8

And yea lets just never let this thread die, it can act as an anime forum in itself! (and eventually break the record of "the fastest dying thread" over at the dragonwolves forums which exceed 100 pages I think...we used to have one with more than 300 pages if I remember correctly O)

And I agree on cowboy bebop's ending. The symbolism in the last few seconds of it was very well done, even though it was so simple. I'll keep it at that so it doesn't spoil anything for you people out there who haven't seen/finished it yet.

I think it's both the very proportionally drawn characters with the intricate shading. One of the things that makes it look very realistic, IMO, is that the light source in most scenes is easily identified.

It's one series where the art outshines the characters (don't kill me for saying it, but I don't really think there was enough flesh for most of it,) and it's still very fun to follow.
