Vampire Hunter D movies are the shit...

Final Fantasy Unlimited is awesome especially if you liek the games...go chocobo go!

trigun is awesome but the american voices blow...get subtitled japanese or learn japanese

street fighter 2(series) and street fighter zero(movie) are awesome...but no real gouki action which pisses me off

if you havnt seen akira you should be shot in the head 5 times with a jackhammer...

jin-roh isnt bad...but i had to watch it twice honostly...kinda confused me cuz i was doin other stuff while watching...

then the many other american released stuff...spirited away was alright not much action...princess mononoke was awesome...ghost in a shell...ninja scroll....all pretty good...i probably forgot some...

Everay · 2003-08-11, 01:12 AM

FFU was okay, the chocobo was the shit, ans i really liked the music

Akira is so friggin over rated, its so damned boring, also

"then the many other american released stuff...spirited away was alright not much action...princess mononoke was awesome...ghost in a shell...ninja scroll....all pretty good...i probably forgot some..."

all that stuff sucks too, ghost in the shell is okay...

RESURRECTION!!!!

Ok normally I don't demand people to watch a series but this is an exception.

I just finished watching Haibane Renmei, another work of art by Yoshitoshi Abe, the maker of Serial Experiments Lain and NieA under 7. Abe's work NEVER fails to amaze me, and Haibane Renmei is no exception. It was the most beautiful, touching series I have ever had the pleasure to watch. It is a MUST see for any anime fan. In short, it is set a town that is surrounded by a giant wall, and no one in that town is allowed to leave. There are normal people, and the Haibane. The Haibane (which is NOT pronounced high-bane, rather high-bah-neh) are people with angel wings and a halo. You can see in my sig Rakka, one of the Haibane.

Everything about this series is beautiful, from the artwork, to the story, an all around work of art. I went back and watched the ending 3 times in a row because it was too good to only see once. Everyone who reads this and likes anime, check this series out. The first DVD will be out August 26th I believe, but if you can't wait, look for the fansubs. I'm certainly buying the DVDs when they're out, regardless of the fact that I have the whole series downloaded already.

Edit: If you want to read more about the series, go here

FLCL was, as hamma would say, borked. I couldnt follow anything, it was so messed up, nazis were everyone. I will never watch it again.

As for characters:
1. Urumi Kanzaki
2. Misato Katsuragi
3. (theres a ton of other people i can think of, but none are just as cool as Eikichi Onizuka and Spike Spielgel.

As for least favorite, im with teh vulcan
1. Shinji (the pussy)

EineBeBoP · 2003-08-13, 11:45 AM

FLCL is amazing bebause it is so damn insane. Its deffinatley not one of thoes serious love/war stories, but instead was intended just to let the production team (GAINAX) to cool off, and have fun. this anime, is for anyone with an open mind. it will make NO sense the first 4 episodes, then suddenly, on the 5th episode you finally begin to understand a small part of it. Has anyone seen Lupin? theres a scene in FLCL, where the producers poke fun at Lupin the III's opening sequence. And of corse, you've seen or at least heard of, South Park. Yep. they make fun of their animation too.

In an anime where the 2 first characters are introduced like this...

"In their first meeting, Haruko runs Naota over with her scooter (he survives), revives him with his first kiss (in a "Matrix" "bullet time" 3D-style sequence), and then bashes him in the head with her guitar."

You know that this isnt going to be a normal anime. but thats whatmakes it so great!

in a review, its described as... "FLCL is everything Neon Genesis Evangelion was and everything it should have been. Bravo, Gainax, for having the cojones to release something so passionate and refreshing."

If you started watching last night, Oni, you saw the last episode first, so it'll make even less sense to you. I REALLY think you should try it again, theyre showing the series 1 more time on AS or, you can DL it fansubed. (Dubbed is actually VERY good, and makes the anime a lot easier to understand) The series restarts TONIGHT, so plz try it

oh, and the nazi costume was a 1-time-thing. it actually makes sense when you've seen the entire series.

Do a search on google, for "FLCL" and read a few reviews, i think youll find most are extremely good.

As for my characters,
1. Naota (main charatcer from FLCL)
2. Ein
3. Kamon (Naota's anime-obsesed dad)

worst is...............
Im not sure... ill get back to yah on that.

ok i will. Just seems a little crazy.

Kaikou · 2003-08-13, 03:07 PM

FLCL was meant to be crazy, it was as someone said, a way for them to cool off and go crazy...Kinda like the excel saga series by Koushi Rikudo. I watch it and don't try to make connections and understand the deeper meaning of giant monsters coming out of a kid's head.

My favorite characters...

1. Rakka (Haibane Renmei)
2. Reki (Also Haibane Renmei)
3. Excel (Excel Saga)

most hated anime character...eh..thats a trick question for me, I can't hate any anime characters really...

meh..whatever, I guess I'd say Keitaro from love hina...or maybe thats more of an "I'd do anything to be in his position" feeling...The guy is the manager of an all girls dorm...

*sigh*

Everay · 2003-08-13, 03:46 PM

yea i only saw like the last 3 or 4 episodes of FLCL, so im gonna watch it again. as for my favoret characters

1. MAximilion Sterling (Macross, noone is more pimping or a better badass pilot than he)
2. Shingi, even though he was a pussy, he wasnt a bitch, he wasnt stone cold, he wasnt manipulative and other things i hate in people, that characters in Eva were, he was a kid, younger than some of you, who was caught up in something bigger than him and he didnt want to be there, and he didnt run away, well, two times, but you all could understand the second time, i wouldve done the same thing. and i think thats what made eva so damned good, the faults in the charaters, more realistic than the bullshit characters in other anime
