I checked up on Google Images to get an idea of what you were talking about, but was just hit with a bunch of panty shots.

Here you go 16 hours till I get mind game I hope its worth it.

I don't know how to go about joining but I've been watching this shit for years now and the main reason is that American can never seem to put out anything with a decent plot and characters that I can relate to. I like anime a lot I guess.

1. Mobile Suit Gundam (original)
2. Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (also pretty good)
3. Outlaw Star (just love the intro song)
4. Excel Saga (I have no idea what is going on but I like it)
5. Chobits (nothing like what I expected)

I tend to watch several series at the same time. One I'm watching right now is the original speed racer which is ridiculous. The races are super violent, with cars flying all over the place and blowing up, Speed jumping off a speeding motorcycle and doing nothing not even a stumble, and how that A button's thing actually works.

finished Gungrave. meh.

finished Escaflowne. more meh.

I loved that movie. You should see Kemonozume, too. awesome stuff.

awesome

I remember seeing the dubbed version of it on TV before, it had some of the most hilariously bad voice acting ever.

Hai fellow, you all kawaii ^__^

Anyway, I watched the original Ghost in the Shell movie, pretty good.. but, uh.. I don't get it. Oshii, please explain.

I'm almost done with Kaleido Star and am considering Wedding Peach next (if it's still available in stores).
I've seen bits and pieces of different mecha and action anime and didn't care for them. Trigun bored me and I never could get into any of the Gundam series. I didn't care for Azumanga Daioh, either.
I might watch Hayate the Combat Butler soon, just to try it.
Any suggestions?

I'm loving Bakemono. Hanekawa is awesome.

Matt, you still on for Ponyo?

I need to stop having periodic breaks from this place. Anyway, anime and manga since my last visit.
Read : Bokurano, Battle Royale, Mirai Nikki, GTO Shonan 14 Days(LIEK OMG Seriously fucking more GTO!@~!?@~1!21?!1)
Watched : Full Metal Panic Fumoffu, Saikano, Darker Than Black, Soukou no Strain.

Bokurano's definitly better in the manga format, Mirai Nikki's kinda disappointing, but almost done so whatever, Battle Royale was meh, and GTO's awesome.

Fumoffu was pretty hilarious, Saikano not done yet but I've already heard the horribleness in store, Darker Than Black just started and seems pretty good just hope he doesn't end up having whats her face as a love interest, and Soukou no Strain is surprisingly good and dark.

That reminds, me I need to find out what theaters will have that ridiculously manly movie.

Oh god, that movie was so slow and boring, I still watched it here is what I got from it.

*Spoilers*
The group were trying to locate some super hacker or computer who was stealing info or something. Mind you, it's been a while since I saw it. Well the captain is eventually led to where he is and she tries to capture him. She is pretty much destroyed then the guy tries to merge his brain with hers in an attempt to live on. Well something happens then she ends up as a loli.

I would never suggest that movie to anyone mainly because of the slow progression of the story, and I watched 2001 A Space Odyssey in one sitting.

I finished Excel Saga, and watched the Episode 26 with my friend, we laughed the whole time. It was ridiculous.

Ofcourse. And because I am feeling extra geeky I will do a bit of dressing up. I have know idea what to wear though...

I thought the first GITS movie was awesome, like everything else GITS related. didn't seem slow to me.

Hey guys, I just thought I would drop in and chat. I'm not a big fan of Anime but I have watched some over the years. My favorites would have to be:

1. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Its the only anime I watch nowadays)
2. Yu Yu Hakasho (Havn't seen this in years. I'm not even sure I spelled it right)
3. Death Note (I prefer the manga though)
4. DBZ (Pretty much sums up my childhood)
5. Gundam (Wing I believe, there are so many I am not sure anymore)

I don't remember if I signed up for this or not

So how bout that Endless Eight?

Not so much an anime expert but I do enjoy it.

Looking for things similar to Elfen Lied or Ghost in a Shell.

:D

If you want something full of boobs everywhere watch Girls Bravo.

apples and oranges...

For Ghost in the Shell (I'm only guessing you're talking about Oshii's movie), well, watch the rest of the GITS titles. The tv show has two seasons and there's GITS 2: Innocence and Solid State Society. I think it's all awesome. Beyond that, I dunno. Ergo Proxy, maybe. There are others that might be labelled "cerebral" and also "dark" like Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, Akira, Texhnolyze, and Boogiepop Phantom, which are all great.

If you liked Elfen Lied...well, come on. You're looking for blood and tits, right? Gantz might be for you, or maybe Basilisk. Who am I kidding? They're for you. I don't think they're very good, but whatever. Wicked City, and Blood: the Last Vampire would be a bit better.

For something better than any of those, try the Hellsing Ultimate OVAs, Berserk, Afro Samurai, Battle Angel, Golgo 13, Crying Freeman, even Ninja Scroll. I don't care what anyone says, Ninja Scroll is a fun watch, especially if you used to watch it back in the day. Baoh is a fun short one. I've only seen the first Violence Jack, but that was pretty entertaining. And Mad Bull 34 is alright for a while. These will have your blood and/or tits.

Or Love Hina or Blue Dragon (uncut only).

I've only watched the movie, which I loved, but I heard the manga wasn't very good. Apparently it's extremely gory compared to the movie. Also, I'd like to read the book some day, assuming I'll be able to find it.

A good show, but the fanbase is pretty annoying. I've skipped the last few episodes because of that stupid Endless Eight arc, but it's over now so I'll be watching it again. I still can't believe the creators thought doing that would be a good idea, it was pretty funny to watch people freak out about it though.

3. Death Note (I prefer the manga though)

I loved the manga, but the anime had way too much foreshadowing. They made it so you knew what was always going to happen, which ruined the point of the series.

Yea some people obsess over it a little too much. I mean its a good show, buts its not God's gift or anything. I actually thought the Recursion of Time idea was great, but the fact they dragged it on for 8 episodes sucked ass. Single handedly the greatest trolling done by any animation studio ever.

The manga, english translation specifically, has some flaws. Keith Giffen really fucked up in some parts, mainly how in his version Battle Royale is a reality show on TV.. Still a game of death ran by the government, but a fucking reality show. This also generates many plotholes. I also don't like some of the dialogue. I really wish i could read the japanese version.
Still, its not bad, and in many aspects is better than the film. The backgrounds and personalities of every character are explained well, unlike in the movie where only some characters are explained.
For example, The psycho guy who volunteers for the game in the movie, Kazuo Kiriyama, is much more interesting in the manga. He is actually on the class instead of being an exchange student. They explain why he is the way he is, and has a lot more depth.
Also, it is much gorier than the movie, and it also has some nudity and sex.
Overall, its definitely worth reading, i read it the first time last year, and this year i read it again. One of my favorite mangas, even though the translation could be better.

I am almost finished downloading Mind Game. My internet got shut off so I have been at the public library for 5 hours downloading this shit. This better be epic or I am going to murder one of these faggoty little kids!
