I have seen X, it was good but depressing.

[gibby]

Not sure if anyone mentioned Gunbusters...but that was a good mech flick.

[than205]

I remember Star Blazers as pretty cool. Way back in the day.

[joeyjoe367]

After watching the entire Evangelion series, Akira, and then Princess Mononoke, I have come to the conclusion that Japanese animation is weird. Story-wise, at least.

You can hardly call it a "cartoon"

[314159]

grave of the fireflies was so much more depressing than x

i forgot to mention flcl as one of my favorites, another one on the wierd messed side.

[emeraldis]

Oh, here I go. Getting started.

[FONT=courier new][COLOR=green]
I hope you know, if you talk about anime, I will flock to the topic. I must say, though being a young female teenager, I am nothing less that a huge anime nerd. Already been to a convention, already have cosplay, and already have complete merchandising sets.

I suppose you could say it's a little sad.

No less, my favorites include: Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Fooly Cooly (Furi Kuri), Fruits Basket, Onegai Teacher, Gundam Wing, Argento Souma, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Dragon Ball (Z, GT to some extent) , Sailor Moon, Tenchi (In Tokyo, Universe, Muyo), Chobits, Onegai Teacher, Love Hina, Ah! My Goddess, Final Fantasy, Ghost in the Shell, Vampire Hunter D, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, and the list goes on. -For a very long while.

Ah, anime/manga. My love! Oh, just sitting here, I could quote and act out so many episodes. [Sigh.]

(Starts quoting)
We really do appreciate you lending us bus fare!
Huh? What are you talking about?

---I should stop before I kill all of you.

[Ironmag]

Ever since I went to an Anime convention this past summer, I've been hooked.

Here is what I've watched and liked them all
Series: Onegai Teacher, Onegai Twins, Matantai Loki Ragnarok, Final Fantasy Unlimited, Chobits, Full Metal Panic!, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Escaflowne, Love Hina, RahXephon, Scryed, Angelic Layer, Witch Hunter Robin, Devil Lady, Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, Card Captor Sakura and .hack//SIGN.

Movies: Death and Rebirth of Evangelion, End of Evangelion, Escaflowne The Movie, Grave of the Firefiles, Voices of a Distant Star, Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Akira, Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust.

Not really an Anime series, but it comes from one: Sailor Moon - Live Action. It's addicting to watch.

[Thordic]

Where the hell are all the pictures of japanese girls and tentacles? God this thread is such a waste... I was expecting tentacles...

[Will Wood]

Thordic, your scaring me. Never mention that again.

Naruto has become my favourite Anime now. I impatiently wait each week the manga and anime.

I'm into Full Metal Alchemist as well, that's a pretty recent one.

Other than that, I usually only watch what is on TV or what one of my anime obsessed freinds has. (Ceres, Miyu, YYH, lots of other stuff)

I also have lots of random manga/anime on my computer.

[jdev]

mmmm.. anime.

i dont consider myself a huge fan of anime, but I watch lots of it, mainly late night on cartoon network. things such as inuyasha, fooly cooly, trigun, and big o.

other stuff thatI dont watch on cartoon network are pretty limited to ranma 1/2, record of lodoss war (kinda like LOTR, check it out) and la blue girl. la blue girl has tentacles i think thordic. its been a while since ive seen any of the episodes.

anywhoo, yea, anime is great. better than the regular old garfield and heathcliff cartoons, which by thier own right, rocked.

[Sir_Brass]

emeraldis . . . watashi wa mo otaku desu! hope you've seen enough fansubbed anime to MAYBE get that . I'm right with you: I LOVE anime. I'm big into the fansubbed anime, so I like a ton of series which alot of you are only starting to hear about now or haven't heard of at all, anyway here's the list of anime that I like.


Stellvia of the Universe, Full Metal Panic, Digimon (fansubbed. dub sucked royally), any and all Miyazaki movies, Full Moon wo Sagashiite (there is no actual double ii's. the additional i was inserted so as to get around the cussing filter which mistakenly assumed a cussword when there wasn't), Witch Hunter Robin, Hellsing, Nadesco, NGE, Record of Lodoss War, Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, Vandred, Vandred: Second Stage, Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Nadia, Love Hina, Ah! My Goddess, Akira, Amitage III: Polymatrix, Armitage: Dual Matrix, Sentou Yousei Yukokaze, Blue Sub Six (subbed), Gundam 08th Mobile Suit Team (favorite Gundam series, though I like most of them except Gundam SD), Metropolis, Grave of the Fireflies, Hoshi no Koe [voices from a distant star], E's Otherwise, Kodacha (short for: Kodomo no Omocha, which means "Childs Toy". you'll never see this licensed due to the difficulty in translating it. only some fansubbed groups have had the willpower to translate this anime), Escaflowne, and that's all I can think of for now .

[emeraldis]

I think I got most of that...

Anime is my thing, man, my LIFE. I watch all of it. Just a day ago, someone gave me a copy of 'Argento Souma' just because they didn't like it.

It's a hard reputation, being the school's 'manga girl', but I suppose it's not as hard as being the 'manga man'. [You reading this, nin?]

[Sir_Brass]

It's not so bad, especially when you're not the biggest otaku on campus . I get most of my stuff from one of the other guys in the anime club here at college. He's the QC and encoder for the fansubbing groups wizzu and anime-source. Thus, he has distro ftp access, and that means he's got LOTS AND LOTS of anime burned to CD-R and DVD-R.

I just got Stellvia of the Universe, The Cat Returns (Miyazaki's latest film. this is AFTER Spirited Away), and Last Exile from him. I have to make time to watch Last Exile, b/c our anime club president HEAVILLY recommended it for me (knowing my tastes), and I saw part of the first ep and was intrigued. I also have other anime in my collection that I have yet to watch, like Azumanga Daioh, and Ghost in the Shell stand-alone.

[ShooterJM]

Haven't seen much. Mostly Ninja Scrool, Blood, Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop.

Looks like I'm gonna have to go ahead and check out some of these that were mentioned though.
