General Anime Discussion.

[Zatrais]

I prefer the more "serious" anime styles.

The patlabor series for instance is exelent, but the masterpiece ghost in the shell is unbeatable for me.

[NeoTassadar]

Is there a series for Ghost in the Shell, or is it just that one movie?

[NightWalker XI]

There is a series

what does OVA stand for anyways?

Original Video Animation i belive

[WritheNC]

Hellsing and Love Hina are my favorites atm. Well, I watched them all.

My cable company sucks. In FL there is Comcast and Adelphia. One gets Sci-fi as basic, and the other gets Cartoon Network as basic for free.

For some reason in my area, I GET NEITHER!

So I never get to see Trigun, Bepop, etc. etc.

Oh yeah. Grave of the Fireflies. SADDEST. ANIME. EVER.

Or close to it.

If you can get ahold of it GUU is really funny
(actually it's The Jungle Was Always Nice Then Came Guu)

It's on the fan sub sites so if anyone is MIRC literate

For people looking (and please folks don't d/l licensed stuff anime is nitch, we gotta support the companies releasing.) But here's a good site to check

Also I'm pretty thrilled with MAcross Zero ATM but only the second ep is out.

That's is all

I'm old enough to know what Otaku is... and when Baoh was released by Animego for $1.50 per MINUTE! Damn kids and their DVD's when I was a kid we paid 35 bucks for each episode of the Orriginal BubbleGum Crissis... on VHS... in crappy HUGE clam shells.

Sorry got in a rant there

but is it good? i have it DL'd, and wanna weather i should watch it or not.

Bighoss, thats the worst attempt at spelling Cowboy Bebop I've ever seen that character you liked was named Ed. Shes a female (tho its hard 2 tell) and is a uber hacker from Earth. there are 2 eps that come 2 mind when you say "downloading brains".

I suggest you check it out sober, and give it a good chance.

Macross Zero was pretty tight. I saw Eps 1 and 2 recently, and liked them both a lot.

oh, and thank you Zodiac


I've seen the entire Eva series, but need to see the movies. I have them both on a CD next to me, but i can never seem to find the time to watch them.

I desperatly need a DVD burner and a DVD player in my room.
That'd give me something to do while dads using the comp.

If you've got a program like iMesh, your anime problems are pretty much solved. Fansubs are legal as long as that show hasn't been confirmed for a North America release. Like, fansubs of the Ghost in the Shell TV series are still techincally legal. Fansubs of say Noir are not, as it is being released here in NA.

But, there's a catch. The 'illegal' fansubs can be legal by one simple catch: as soon as you recieve them, do not share them with anyone. I think there's an option in iMesh to lock sharing with other users.

Don't forget to get a spyware remover!

Cowboy Bebop does indeed Own. Ed's gotta be my fav character.


Fushigi Yuughi was amazing. LONG, but very cool.

Irresponsible Captain Tyler. Don't even remember when I first saw it. But, it was funny as hell.

Macross Plus. 4, 40 min Episodes. Short and Sweet. Cool characters and a good story.


The new DVD version of Akira. They cleaned up the picture a lot and re-did the dubbed so the story actually makes sense.


The first couple of Seasons of Ranma 1/2 was fun. After a while it just got too repeatitive.

BubbleGum Crisis. New and Old.

Record of Lodoss Wars.


Haven't Seen Macross Zero though. Any of you all got a good link for a place to read about it?

[FlakMan]

Macross Zero

Anime News Network might have a better description, but I wouldn't know. I'm banned, probably from contributing way too much to their database in a very short period of time those many months ago.

[Everay]

well, i know in Cali San Fran there is a cable company that has the anime network, and its like umm, where you can select what show you wanna watch, and it shows it to you and you can pause it and stuff.

but as for the series ive seen

Record of Loddos war, the original DAMN GOOD!

both Bubble gum Crisis, i loved them both, well i havent seen AD police yet, nor have i seen the BGC series thats just 3 episodes long

Star Ocean EX, it copies Star Ocean the second Story, up untill episode 4 when it totaly veers off, and they didnt do the second series because not many people watched it in japan, so it dosent finish the story

i saw Gun Smith cats, wasnt all that good

Seen all the Fatal Fury movies, they were okay

Palabor is good, but there is better anime

and Akira isnt as good as everyone says

Eva is in tie with Macross, macross as in the first series, and ive only seen episode one of MAcross Zero, and Macross Plus wansnt as good as the Macross series, and if your gonna buy macross, dont buy it in the form of the series Robotech, buy the uncut version from japan, though itll be expenisive, but much better

ive seen alot of other stuff, but i wont discuss it now

[Everay]

oh, and i forgot to mention the series that comes in second place for me, its called something like Here and now, then and again, or something like that, its really good, i only watched the 1st DVD. but from what i hear, its supposed to make you cry in the end, and not in a chick flick kind of way, but in a drama kind of way, well anyways, from what ive seen, i like it, it goes from light and happy and then like 10 minuets in its like, dark and evil

watch both the movies, in order, the first movie lets you know where your at and what happened in the series, and the second movie replaces the last two screwed up episodes
