Post by: The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment on January 28, 2007, 12:38:47 AM: Uh, Ghost in the Shell. That's it.

And maybe Akira.

Post by: Beezy on January 28, 2007, 12:46:38 AM: How the fuck could you recommend Scryed to anyone? It sucked hard.

I would be watching Excel Saga right now if my laptop's power supply didn't fuck up on thursday night. I only got to see the first episode. :(
Title: Re: Recommend Anime: GO!
Post by: MrAngryFace on January 28, 2007, 12:50:37 AM: Scryed was awesome f u. I dunno if the official sub got rid of all the cussing. The last ep ruled!
Title: Re: Recommend Anime: GO!
Post by: Beezy on January 28, 2007, 01:07:14 AM: There wasn't any cursing in the sub. Even if there was, it wouldn't be enough to save that show.

Berserk is a real manime:

Title: Re: Recommend Anime: GO!
Post by: MrAngryFace on January 28, 2007, 01:11:35 AM: I dunno Kazuma got appropriately pissed in the fansub, shame the official one got rid of 'the flavor' whether or not he actually was saying that stuff haha.

Berserk has been recommended to me, I will check it out sometime this month probably.
Title: Re: Recommend Anime: GO!
Post by: Beezy on January 28, 2007, 01:13:15 AM: Make sure to read the manga afterwards.
Title: Re: Recommend Anime: GO!
Post by: Vizzys on January 28, 2007, 01:13:43 AM: I like some of those MAF

This is where I'm supposed to say Bleach I suppose but nah.

Lets see:

As for movies akira is about all I've seen, its a classic for sure.

Hmm... I don't watch much but heres some I liked...

(http://www.parazz.com/photos/09744508055_9771.jpg)
Hellsing Ultimate - the original series is good but flawed, this makes up for it tenfold. Pretty much the best vampire related anime imo. Only 2 OVA's out atm though. :(

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0c/Gits_sac_poster_v.jpg)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (and 2nd GIG) - this show can be pretty good, I'm a sucker for futuristic stuff though.

(http://www.ex.org/articles/2001/images/2001.07.20-rev_anime-us-trigun-vol_6-cover.jpg)
Trigun - was a pretty good sci-fi/western mix, lots of comedy, a bit of a whiny main character but he had his reasons.

Ill think of more later..
Title: Re: Recommend Anime: GO!
Post by: The Fake Shemp on January 28, 2007, 01:15:55 AM: I will not watch any anime - sorry, been burnt too many times. I only like two animated motion pictures of Japanese origin and the rest are fucking STUPID.
Title: Re: Recommend Anime: GO!
Post by: MrAngryFace on January 28, 2007, 01:17:35 AM: I always felt Trigun got a little 'too weird' near the end for me, but its still a really good show.

Post by: Human Snorenado on January 28, 2007, 01:19:03 AM: I recommend everyone burn all their anime and go kill some bears with hands to prove that you're all actually fucking men. Except Cloud, she can watch anime because she's a girl.

Responses like these give me the visual of you lighting a Churchill stogie postcoital, as you toss a tissue in disgust to your sobbing human fuck doll.

She had it coming. I told her no kissing.

Post by: Vizzys on January 28, 2007, 01:44:45 AM: Hmm I thought some more about it....

(http://www.ex.org/articles/2001/images/2001.10.29-rev_anime-us-the_big_o_vol-3-cover.jpg)
Big O - probably my favorite mecha anime, its very awesome visually (done by Batman:TAS guys, same style) cool story, and a really shitty nonsensical ending. (biggest letdown EVER) Regardless I love this series.

(http://www.stradanove.net/news/images/fumetti/g/gto7.jpg)
Great Teacher Onizuka- This anime is really really Japanese, so I'm kind of "I dunnoz whats going on hurr" but It has some really funny moments. It can be pretty serious when it wants to be, lots of teacher/school related drama.
Title: Re: Recommend Anime: GO!
Post by: Beezy on January 28, 2007, 01:46:24 AM: I saw your fuck up, Viz.

GTO is good stuff. The manga is much better though.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on January 28, 2007, 03:02:58 AM: "animu" is shorthand for "generic anime" -- you know, the shit that features big-titty lolis in spandex lingerie or maidwear. or naruto. plenty of anime transcends that bottomfeeding quasi-prurient approach, although it seems to be a lot less these days.

Ergo Proxy <3 (for the sci fi and trip hop)
School Rumble (for the wacky jappy stuff)
Title: Re: Recommend Anime: GO!
Post by: beelzebozo on January 28, 2007, 08:31:12 AM: berserk, no question.
i don't like anime in the least, but my ex-girlfriend wanted to watch it a few years ago, and after the third or fourth episode i found myself really compelled to see how it would all play out.
ended up buying the boxed set when we (inevitably) called it quits.

definitely check this one out, man.

Post by: Prost on January 28, 2007, 11:13:20 AM: Gundam Seed and the Street Fighter 2 movie. Anything other than that is just boring IMO.... Gundam Seed was only good because of some guy named Fraga.
