Anime fans?

[efoto]

found another one that made me cry.

Onegai Teacher T____T

Really? I have heard a lot about that series from friends, but I've never heard anything that would lead me to believe it could do that....

What aspect of the series caused cry-drops?

just something about the love that they had :/ it was personal to me a bit T_T

Say no more, I understand that.

My friends are mostly arses anyway, doesn't surprise me that they never mentioned anything to that notion before. I like them, but they can maintain a good level of abrasive-ness often :rolleyes:

[eva01]

wooo Live Action, Saikano: The last love song on this little Planet

http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/movie/2006_saikano/

Make me cry when i see it, i know it will.

There is a trailer on that site however it isn't coded properly and wont work right now.

[krimson]

if you haven't watched "Yakitate!! Japan" yet, it's great. I haven't laughed this much watching anime in a long time.

Animenfo.com's Yakitate!! Japan entry (http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,1522,scxejx,yakitate___japa.html)

[Counterfit]

Yakitate Japan! is funny :D I'm so far behind though :(

I'm currently watching what is probably the most depressing series ever. I think the entire point of it is to make you feel like absolute crap. "Yeah, you think you're happy? NOT ANYMORE HAHAHAHA!!!". It's actually more depressing than Saikano, simply because it starts to **** all over your emotions in the second episode, and doesn't stop. It's also based on an H-game, just like Fate/Stay Night, which is awesome so far.

Someday....

[Counterfit]

That two-timing wench-goddess! :eek: I think I'm going to go tell Keichi.




I'm such a geek

[calean007]

Well, I'm big fans of Robotech, Battle of the Planets(Gotchaman), Trigun, and of course, Cowboy Bebop...

...


AE released ep 52 last night, that pretty much ends the current story arc... i think, i'll know when i watch it tonight.

side note...
i've finished the main Bleach story arc, not interested in the new arc.


I've also started Naruto.. quite frankly, im dissappointed in seeing that it's has a formula plot line.. at least the first dozen eps i've seen...
(i know there's a huge fanbase, so don't hate... )

im just bored of the "annoying brat wanting to be the best in the universe because of some mysterious past" martial arts/combat story line.
Same goes for the "wimpy boy loved by every female" harem series too.

[eva01]

Naruto is getting back on track thankfully. after about 10 episodes in the 160s thankfully 170 was pretty good.

And i just got the entire Mezzo boxset, I love this show and it has one of my favorite japanese bands doing the opening and ending theme song. the BARNABYS.

Such a good show.

And i picked up the Battle Royale novel

Hi

Has anyone here seen the Hellsing OVA yet? What do you think of it? Apparently, it follows the origional a lot more strictly than the series

Also:
http://www.evamade.net/e107_plugins/kig_menu/_imagefiles/evangelion__asuka_down.jpg

On the IGN boards, we're confused as to where this pic origionates from. It's not in either the series or the films, yet it's in magazines and there are even some figurines of her in this dress. However, it doesn't look like the manga version (in the manga, she's more strawberry blonde than auburn), so does anyone have any ideas? :confused:

[eva01]

Asuka picture is more than likely just an extra image or fanart. (could have been used in an eva calendar)

And i have not seen the hellsing OAV as it is not out in America yet, but if it follows the manga better (i love the manga) then i will be happy

That is a picture that was scanned. There was a figure released (Goth Lolita Asuka or whatever). I believe this is the art for it, but this picture is a scan-turned wallpaper.

[DISCOMUNICATION]

I haven't even seen Samurai Champloo yet. Now I've got to find out what this Ergo Proxy (http://www.ergoproxy.com/) is all about.

[eva01]

here are two threads about ergo proxy

http://www.animetunes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115&highlight=ergo+proxy

seems to me to be a bit like witch hunter robin crossed with the BLAME! manga

[krimson]

picked up the first 2 Fansubs, haven't had a chance to watch them yet.. i liked WHR quite a bit, so i may have to move this up my "to watch" list.

[eva01]

It seems that the Evangelion Live Action has been changed from "on Hold" to "Under Development" More information can be found on my website (in profile)

[eva01]

well i am bringing this thread back up to say how friggen bad-ass Initial D 4th stage is

[Sogo]

Has anyone mentioned School rumble? I found that anime hilarious!

[eva01]

well it wasn't being fansubbed legally due to the japanese company that owns it.

I thought it was great when i saw the first few eps and i am unsure if it is licensed by an american company yet. The manga is out in the US now

[krimson]

Seems i was under the mistaken impression that 4th Stage was filler. :o

[eva01]

oh no this stage is all about the Project D that was mentioned in the 3rd stage. It is so awesome.

Funniest part has to do with the 86 and an Impreza. Its such a good stretch of episodes the entire stage is good.

EDIT: I will say that Takumi's new technique is friggen amazing.

[krimson]

well, in that case, ill have to have a go at it... as soon as i clear up some drive space. :D
thanks for the quick run down.

you will definitely enjoy it. It is ultimately badass.

Hi I hope I'm not joining too late. I'm a big Animi fan. I have Ranma1/2, Maison Ikkuko, Kenshin (samurai X), Hunter X Hunter, Cowboy Bebop, Conan Future boy, Rave (though I don't recommend it),3 X 3 Eyes, Ashita no joe, Sinibad, UFO robo Grendizer, Captain Harlock. That is the TV animated series, OVA's and the movies if there is any. I have Akira among other movies.
I use to have manga (76 volumes and magazines) for alll the above but thanks to a friend that is history, I don't usually like to talk about it.
now I want the Urusie Yatsura Tv series (all the 195 Episodes),The 11 OVA's and 6 movies. I just don't know how to get it. I'm in England the guy here is giving me a deal of 900£ (2000$) for the 63 or so DVD's. man It's cheaper to go to chine spend a week there maybe see the wall get as many animi as I want (8 Episodes per DVD) and come back!
What do you think guys you have any alternatives??.

But, yeah, you're going to want to import at some stage. Usually, it's cheaper than over here (damn "Europe Tax", as I like to call it), and sometimes it's the only way to get it at all (eg, I had to import the NGE Platinum set because it's US only). The problem with living in the EU is that you commonly get a very raw deal

[nmanma]

What do you mean?

[Onizuka]

What do you mean?

Well, yeah, you can get 8 episodes on one DVD from China or Hong Kong, but they suck as bad as Tom Cruise. The video/audio encoding is half-assed, subtitles, if there are any, are produced by the Chinese so none of it is right, or in-sync.

Pay for the offiicial deal. It's worth it.

[eva01]

Well i am bout to start watching Fruits Basket, have been mulling it over for some time now to start it up.

[krimson]

Hmm.. i may have missed something, but i didn't notice a new technique... :confused:

at the risk of sounding harsh.. i found it to be more of the same.

The impreza part was good, but overall it was rather predicible. Takumi always wins, his friends are still women-less.
Kyoko was a good distraction, but they got all sappy during the "last drive" episode.
Project D never actually finishes the series, unless the two "god" characters were the pinnacle of street racing... or will there be a 5th stage... i dunno.

it was okay... nice to watch, and at least no had real fish lips.

[eva01]

the new move is the hidden trick turing off his lights.

I don't know, I thoroughly enjoyed the anime. But my taste may not be yours. I can't wait till he starts driving the Imprezza in races.



My new anime i am watching is xxxHOLiC and Air Gear as well as Ray the animation. Soon to start up Kiba.

[Counterfit]

Kiba is pretty cool. I mean, there's the whole "transported to another world" thing, which is pretty common (Escaflowne, 12 Kingdoms, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, and more), but pretty much all of them are different in a pretty big way. Also, Roia = http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/liebe/love-smiley-021.gif
Anyways, I'm watching:
Air Gear
Ah My Goddess 2nd season (yay for groups switching from the 4:3 to widescreen raw!)
Fate/Stay Night
Kiba
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi (many people are going nuts over this one)
Utawarerumono (dog girls! \o/)
Saiunkoku Monogatari
School Rumble 2nd term
TOKKO
ZegaPain
Yume Tsukai
Capeta
Disgaea
and a few others I don't feel like telling you about. :p

OHHHH!!!! the lights.. i kind of forgot about that. :o
So have they announced a 5th season? I haven't seen any new bits on that.

[meaculpa20v]

Personally I like Berzerk, Kyo, and Cowboy Bebop the most.

oh, you know what else I really liked was the Animatrix. It seems a lot of people didn't like it. I DID THOUGH!!

[twistedlegato]

Kiki's Dilevery service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ahahah, thats all the anime i have really seen, and it was sort of nice.

[~L~]

Ergo Proxy anyone? I'm a bit behind, only on episode 7 but I'm starting to really enjoy it!

and Bleach should be good once the fillers are over :D

edit: forgot about Hellsing OVA, hopefully the long wait for the subbed episode 2 will be over soon!
