People that pine away from the good old days of "Genocyber" and "MD Geist" are morons. Those were TERRIBLE.
But if you must have your modern-day violence, go watch Rin: Daughter of Mnemosyne.

I'm personally not a big fan of ultraviolence. Seeing kids get dismembered is a bit much for me.
But I'm also not huge on the recent trend of "moeblobs". Admittedly, I tried to get into Haruhi Suzumiya. I just couldn't do it.
Gantz is at best punishingly mediocre, but I'd be lying if I said the exploitation elements and crazy violence didn't keep me watching and at least sporadically entertained.
Hey, how's the new series of The Guyver and Golgo 13? It would break my heart if Duke Togo was pussified for the new generation.
Princess Mononoke shocked the shit out of me. Starts out like a typical action cartoon then all of a sudden WTF BEHEADED BY A FUCKING DEMON ARROW.
Maybe I should check out this Evangelion you speak of.
Dont check it out pd. Watch cowboy bebop instead.
Hyperzone: new golgo 13 owns.Princess Mononoke shocked the shit out of me. Starts out like a typical action cartoon then all of a sudden WTF BEHEADED BY A FUCKING DEMON ARROW.

Fuck Eva.
Watch this.

It's a four-episode OVA that was released as a single movie in the US.
Sword of the Stranger is about getting as many crazy action scenes crammed into its runtime as possible.
Trust and Betrayal is a samurai drama with a few crazy actions scenes peppered through its runtime.

jesus, i remember watching this as a kid. guyver 1's screaming at the end was fucking traumatizing.
Is this from the OVA series or the short one-off?
I can't believe PD is watching anime :-[
Or get him to use netflix. I haven't watched it either but I have it in my instant streaming queue. Most likely the dub though.I can't believe PD is watching anime :-[
If we can get his ass to use torrents I will have him watch Now and Then, Here and There. Being a fantasy homo he will love it.
Things I'm looking for: lots of action and shit, violence and good stories with cool characters. I like this samurai shit because it reminds me of Princess Mononoke a bit. So yea, more stuff like this please.
no guns or robots
wars, etc. And maybe some political intrigueStop hating on robots and watch Gundam, goddammit.
I liked the action in Princess Mononoke. The save the erf shit was cool but meh, I don't want more of it. Give me something with sword fighting, action, big ass animals, wars, etc. And maybe some political intrigue

Hellsing OVA
Might as well wait until Hellsing OVA is finished.
I heard about GenoCyber through TVTropes, but never watched it. Is it that bad?
I'm not a big fan of Koichi Ohata. I thought that MD Geist was laughably bad, that MD Geist 2 was horrible, that Cybernetic Guardian was forgettable, that Ikkitousen was laughable but a bit of a guilty pleasure, and that Burst Angel was mediocre but had its moments. He has yet to do anything that I truly enjoyed, nevertheless, I have derived some enjoyment from his works, on one level or another. Nothing, however, prepared me for Genocyber.
The story in Genocyber is...poorly told, at best. Scenes skip around with reckless abandon, never staying too long on any single point long enough for the viewer to get a feel for what's going on why its worth caring about. It also skips ahead, in the last two episodes, about two hundred years.
Considering that this is an OVA from the mid-90's, I'd expect it to at least have decent animation. There are a few scenes with decent animation, but most look like they were pulled directly from a cheap OVA that came out ten years prior. Now, I'm not a stickler for animation, but I do ask that it's at least accompanied by something interesting in the art. Genocyber doesn't have that either and it leaves the whole affair looking rather generic and boring. Some of the action scenes look okay, but those are few and far between. And very short.
Now, the characters. There are characters in Genocyber, I know this much. Unfortunately, there is not one character that is developed beyond a single line of description. You've got an evil genius, wait, scratch that, TWO evil geniuses that want to rule the world or something, a super-powerful girl that can't talk, her super-powerful sister who's sole purpose is to complain to her father about her sister, hard-nosed detective looking for the truth who disappears after midway through the first episode, and a host of others who serve no reasonable purpose. All five episodes have enough character development to fill a thimble halfway. The only characters that are even remotely likable are the two mains from the episodes 4 and 5, but, as with every other character in the series, they have little development.
Enjoyment? I didn't enjoy it. At all. The two and half hours that this OVA ran were beyond painful, easily amongst the most depressing and bloated I've ever put myself through. The shows takes everything it does with the utmost seriousness. There's no humor here, even unintentionally. At best, you can chuckle a bit at how bad the dub is, which I attempted to, but that really didn't last long since it the horribleness of the dub slowly bled into the horribleness of the rest of the show and succeeded in only making me feel more depressed about the whole affair.
I don't know why I gave this a 3 instead of a 1. I really don't.
Ouch. :yuckI heard about GenoCyber through TVTropes, but never watched it. Is it that bad?

I don't even watch animu anymore and I knew about it. It looks repulsive. :yuck
A sequel where Jubei does some shit and the Japanese Christian religion have a reincarnated Japanese Jesus. Fucking stupid bullshit. Ends with Japanese Jesus dying inside a burning shrine and some chicks fucking him for his seed before he dies and they run away. Shitshithsithist
In North America, the Ninja Resurrection anime films were marketed as sequels to Ninja Scroll, but were actually created by a separate animation studio. The only similarities they share is a lead character named Jubei. The Jubei in Ninja Resurrection was famed swordsman Yagyū Jūbei, not Jubei Kibagami from Ninja Scroll.
Ninja Scroll did get a pseudo-sequel TV series, but I don't think it ever came out in English.
episode 4. then I'll make my own thread :o
wtf was she apart of the plot?
shit's getting deep :o
I hope her brother dies
fists vs sword :lol
omg no :'(
yea that was pretty good. really liked the tunes btw, will dl soundtrack
Sooo this is the only good Samurai X?
