Anime fans?

[efoto]

<snip>I guess what hit me hardest was that I relate so much to Spike. Betrayed, removed, and always hunted. It's funny, but it was almost as if I saw a part of me die. Ah, but that again is what makes a series so great... Being able to relate to the characters, eh?

That is what makes a series so incredibly great. I felt the exact same way when watching Bebop, especially the first time. It was crazy because I would watch it with a group of people on 'anime night'. We would watch a few episodes each night, once a week just to change-up the tele norm. As we watched I always wondered if anyone else was feeling what I was feeling, because at times it really felt like I was Spike, I related to everything he said and did! It was amazing.

Part of those same feelings is why I loved Love Hina so much as well. I related to Keitaro quite well and thus the series made a notable impact for me.

yoko kanno does the absolute best music in anime

Yep I completely agree. I love just listening to the soundtracks for great series. The music makes such a note during the show that I can basically re-watch the entire thing with only the music, I love it!

It's certainly the most extensive. For only being one full series it's got what? 7 CD's to it?

Macross plus had 4 CD's (Soundtrack 1, 2, Cream Puff, and For the Fans or something, I can't remember the fourth title off hand, but I have them all.) .Hack//Sign actually has quite a few as well.

I dunno. If I can't relate to a series at all, then there's no sense in watching it. X the TV sereis is another favorite, and I'm pretty sure no one's seen a pic of me, but I got my UserName as a nickname from GTO (cos I look a hell of a lot like him, or is it he who looks like me?)

X is indeed fun.

I need to borrow kenshin the series again from my friend

From the Anime/Manga.

X the movie sucked badly. TV series is awesome.

Kenshin pales in comparison to Samurai X. Well, IMO anyway.

and you never answered MY question asking if you're female a page back or so, regarding someone's comments about your avatar looking like you.

My comments, his question, your answer....so cough up. Lets have it eva01, what's down there?? (male/female will be acceptable answers, no need for graphic responses )

I find one of the best soundtracks EVER to be Hellsing's. Raid and Ruins (the two soundtracks) are awesome stuff, as good as Cowboy Bebop's stuff. Trigun's soundtracks are good too. Wolf's Rain also. Curious how most anime that's considered "classic" has awesome soundtracks. Guess it's partly because of the soundtracks...

Hey, anyone here ever watched GantZ? That's some wicked stuff, that is. Even though I'd never been too into gore, this series just stuck to me, as much as Bleach and Naruto did, only with Naruto it went all the way up to episode 130 and then they started having fillers. As far as I know, there are still 20 more filler episodes to go (yes, they're gonna start the new arc at episode 178). Just down-right sad, it took away ALL the momentum for Naruto...

Haven't watched GantZ yet. As for Hellsing's soudntrack, it's alright.

Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Ghost In the Shell: SAC and 2nd Gig, MAcross Plus, Escaflowne, and many many others have their soundtracks composed by legendary Yoko Kanno.

I find Naruto to be a more modern Dragon Ball Z, which I absolutely despise. It does not appeal to me whatsoever.

I have a friend at uni who loves Naruto and can't wait to see new eps. I sat and watched one with him and although I found it moderately interesting, I said the exact same thing, "a modern DBZ" which I don't like at all. I have since caught a few eps on CN and I still hold my opinion, there just doesn't seem to be much there for me.

Who did the music in Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke?

 

[eva01]

i actually like naruto, hate DBZ thou. I think it is better art, music, fights, and better character development.

gantz can be cool aside from the fact that it is two episodes per disc.

I think eva is scared, because if "she's" a she, then "she" might think we'd be like "we're nerdy fanboys that want to hump you." And if "he's" a he, he'll really just be lying to us. And eva does not want to lie, so obiously he's a she!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's a she! BUT AHA!

Close enough for science, I'll buy it

I'm like my women, but I don't do the internet thing, and it would suck to burden the anime talk with personal fanboy-humping (just sounds funny), so regardless of your gender eva01 we'll still treat you like one of the guys....or one of the girls if you are a girl, but it will be like sister style not 'other' style

Agreed. Although, if you come on to me, I will have no choice but to turn on my mojo. And if you're a guy (which I doubt at this point) and you come on to me, I will crawl under a rock and hide there until you start chasing after efoto.



Don't worry, eva01, we're still homies either way.

hey here is another question.

What is the one anime you can watch no matter what mood and no matter how long ago you watched it.

Mine just happens to be Martian Sucessor Nadesico, no matter what i can watch the series, so cute ^_^ i love it.

For the other side of everything, i have to be depressed or going insane to be able to watch Perfect Blue

I want a gender answer before anymore anime talk....seriously

I can always watch Princess Mononoke even though it makes me sad. I love the show and how it works....happy yet sad at the same time, so f***ing good. I love it.

I have yet to find a series like that, but I am watching Nadesico (yay Netflix! ), thanks in part to Megatokyo (Naze Nani Megatokyo was inspired by the Naze Nani Nadesico "show" in ep 8 )

hmm i have to get Kiddy Grade. Going up to Tokyo Kid on Sunday YAY.

Made it to New England Comics and the Asian Market yesterday, mmm Manga and Pocky.

Gallery on my site is coming up Monday

I need to get the rest of Saikano :/

I need to go to Tokyo Kid again. Maybe I should talk to friend in beantown more often, as he brought me there the first time.
I tried Pocky at Otakon, as there was a box of Giant Pocky (one original, one strawberry) up as a prize for a raffle. Some kind soul offered me a stick of her Pocky, as I had never had it before. It was good, but nowhere near good enough for me to be addicted to it like some people are. Now, if they made a Dr. Pepper flavored version...

Pockey's okay. The chocolate covered green jelly things are the best. There used to be this strawberry drink that I can't get anywhere now that was from Japan. The best EVER. They also make these Jelly candies in clear containers shaped liek the fruit (cherry, strawberry). DAMN I LOVE THE JAPANESE!

As far as Anime I can watch anytime: Bebop, Champloo, and Macross Plus, hands down.

I have to be in a really ****ed up mood to watch Lain, Perfect Blue, NGE, Saikano.

 

[eva01]

I am trying to open up a small business in the middle of the southshore in plymouth MA for selling anime, CDs, DVDs, figurines, wallscrolls, posters, and rentals. As well as art done by the co-owner.

^___^ it will be a wonderful store as of right now the closest store is Tokyo Kid in Boston. Other than that there is nothing.

There should be much more love for Miyazaki / Studio Ghibli in here.

My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away and Laputa are my favourite anime films.

Check out here for more info and reviews and stuff.

I am a fan of Otomo too, I love Akira (manga & the filme equally) although I was a *little* disapointed by Steamboy.

I also like a couple of Korean animaed films, namely 'Oseam' and 'My beautiful Girl Mari'.

I liked Mononoke. I cannot stand Miyazaki's other works.

Otomo is good, ecept for that one flick eh directed the art for, HARMAGEDON. And what's his nuts that directed the 1st and 2nd GITS movies along with PAtlabor? GHA! Can't stand him.
