That's probably the best explanation of why alot of us like anime, that I've read yet.

I totally agree: I like the stories that are told in alot of good anime. They just can't be told to the same caliber in live action as they can in anime.


Oh, and don't worry about mis-spelling miyazaki. I'm not ever sure the I spelled his name right, LOL .

Guys, the best anime I have EVER SEEN!!!

=HAJIME NO IPPO=

Its about 70 something episdoes with 2 movies I think. BUT, it is the best damn anime, I have ever seen, it was just so good, every episode was great.

I have seen tons of anime, and let me tell you, with what Hajime No Ippo was about, I watched it, with my expectations very low. You know why? It's a SPORTS anime, about BOXING.

I was thinking, anime... about.... boxing? Heh, I'll watch a few episodes, and see how silly it is.

I was attached after the first 5 minutes. I am telling you guys, you can look on tons of websites, and it gets great ratings everywhere!

My other favs. : Hellsing, Initial D, Full Metal Panic!, RahXephon

I'm currently watching Last Exile, and to ANYONE who has access to fansub sites (like downloadanime.org and other places), I highly recommend you download this series. It's not licensed yet, so it's not illegal to download .

I hate to tell you bro, but Last Exile was licensed by Pioneer, and it's out on R1 DVD already. I own it, it's very good.

[Sir_Brass]

Yeah, I know. I found out it was licensed this morning when talking to a friend of mine who can't download much anime b/c she has a 56k modem (she's still very much the fansubbed otaku ).

Now that we're talking about licensing, I think I DO remember hearing something about Last Exile being licensed.

My policy is that until those eps are available for me to BUY, then I still support the downloading of the unreleased fansubs. Once they're available for sale from the licensed publisher, then I highly recommend buying them instead.

Support anime: buy the anime once it's available for sale!

The one thing I have against "professionally subbed" anime is that it usually closely follows the dub script, and that can get annoying. Personally, I usually perfer the caliber of translation in fansubs if the translators are top notch (you get to know the translators names for different groups if you watch alot). Some translators are decent, other's are pretty good, some are almost legend, and then there are some that make you wonder "Why is this person still ALLOWED to translate for this group!?!?!?!". I've seen all of them, and thankfully the ones with piss poor translators wasn't the only group subbing that series .

Oops, Monday has gone and passed, Isaac. [Oops...] ANYWHO, I suppose you can borrow that Argento Souma tape that Justin gave me. If I can dig something up that I don't remember owning, I'll let you borrow that too.

Wow, I should make library cards.

ANYWHO, to those of you completely dissing anime/manga, there is no way that you could sit through EVERY single episode of every anime, and walk out of your seat saying that ALL anime is bad. Everyone finds an anime they like.

Besides, the hentai and ecchi material is just there for the sick people who like child pornography that they can't legally get anywhere else. It's not like you are forced to watch the [eep]. Honestly.

Anywho, yes, lots of anime/manga have nudity, but the only reason is because Japanese really have an advanced social community. They have open air baths CONSTANTLY in anime's and such. Even in the childish ones such as Digimon. They are completely naked in the Japanese version, but they edit all this out for paranoid American viewers.

Anywho, I suppose I should go get that stuff for ya, Isaac.

Has anyone seen the new Live Action Sailor Moon series? For some reason everything about it I like, even though it's cheesy. From the theme song to the story and action of it. When I first heard about it I didn't know what to think but I've come to really liking it. If you liked the anime series, check it out.

[emeraldis]

Live action Sailor Moon?

There is something terribly wrong with that. And yet, I am interested.

[FooTemps]

Hajime no Ippo is Addicting for some reason that I don't understand.... I've probably watched the series like 3 or 4 times and I'm still not sick of it.

[Sir_Brass]

I'm the same way with Stellvia of the Universe. I got a hold of it before we finished watching it in club, so I finished it in one day, then couldn't get enough of it. Watched it fully one more time through, then finished it in club, and I'm STILL not sick of seeing it . Seen it 3 times all within about 2 to 3 weeks .

Man, I can't even remember how many times I stay up watching the same episode of Trigun over and over. When I had to go on a cruise, I actually recorded the audio of the episode on a cassette tape just so I could savor the episode of Trigun.

That I already had all the lines memorized to.

I know Japanese, but not enough to translate that without the help of trussel.com

Translation please.

[Sir_Brass]

translation: you're strange

[emeraldis]

You know, I get that a lot.

And here I was thinking you could relate to that, too. Darn you, tainted skull!
