[Van Cruncheon]

needs more loli maids and/or tentacles and/or goku-on-trunks fanart

basically, what it needs is the new forthcoming evilbore animu series, DOKI DOKI HIMUMU HINA: MAID PANIKKU! (it's about lonely black texas boy with tourette's who opens a maid bar with a hydra-penised satan monster and together they raperape the new employees while jerking it to dbz and shenmue hentai fanfic)

[MrAngryFace]

My anime is pretty loli free as most of it dates back to when japan liked women with big boobs (see Slayers movies/OVAs ie NAGA) but even then it was so absurd it was pretty clear they were making fun of it

[Madrun Badrun]

if i didn't like eureka 7 will I like evangilon?  ...sorry about spelling  :'(

[Van Cruncheon]

what *is* a "hina" anyhow? patel?

[Vizzys]

DOKI DOKI HIMUMU HINA: MAID PANIKKU! (it's about lonely black texas boy with tourette's who opens a maid bar with a hydra-penised satan monster and together they raperape the new employees while jerking it to dbz and shenmue hentai fanfic)

I think ive seen this one.

[MrAngryFace]

Evangelion and Eureka 7 have almost nothing in common. Evangelion has more in common with Raxephon or whatever but I found that show boring so whatever.

Evangelion is a really interesting work and I have watched through all of it many times and it never really gets old. Most of the TV series could be chopped to 13 episodes if you remove all the 'shinji stares at field or telephone pole' scenes and it could still be as IMPACTFUL hah impactful..anyway on the flip side I can see how these scenes served a purpose as to isolate a lot of the character driven scenes to maybe in a way represent the reality of the relationship between all these people. Then again it could just be a kid staring at fields and telephone poles.

[Vizzys]

eureka 7 is pretty bad

Evangelion easily tops it and i haven't seen more then a few episodes of it.

[Eduardo24]

Needs more Saint Seiya.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

Needs more Gurren Lagann is more like it.

[Oblivion]

Rurouni Kenshin
Yu Yu Hakusho
One Piece
Ranma 1/2

[Cheebs]

Hamtaro

[Mr. Gundam]

Hamtaro

Oh, no. If you must watch one Hamster-based anime, make it Ebichu.

[Cheebs]

[Howard Alan Treesong]

what *is* a "hina" anyhow? patel?

"Hina" means "chick." It has the same double-meaning (young chicken, cute girl) in Japanese as it does in English.

Teh ANime

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Azumanga Daioh
GTO
Bubblegum Crisis
Ranma 1/2 (Mainly the movies and OVAs.  The TV show ranges from good to crap)
Riding Bean
Project A-Ko
Nin Nin Ga Shinobuden!
Ninja Scroll
The Dirty Pair (various OVAs)
Emma
Dragon Half
The Slayers

Teh MangaZ

Ranma 1/2
Azumanga Daioh
Yotsuba To!
Gunsmith Cats
Vagabound
Appleseed
GTO
Love Hina
Blade Of The Immortal
Caravan Kidd
Outlanders
Dragonball (yup; it's the TV series that drags on forever)

In general, I always find the original manga versions far better than the anime adaptions, but I like Azumanga Daioh more in animated form than I do as four-panel gag comics.  Nin Nin Ga Shinobuden is kind of the same way.  I've been into this stuff since 1990 or so when I first saw Akira, and so I think I may be forgetting some things.  I definitely prefer the stuff from the 1980s and 1990s over almost anything that's come out in this decade.  I really don't like the direction a lot stuff is going in, and I hate loli crap.  Give me over-inflated boobs any day.

I used to be so into Ranma it was INSANE.  My old room back home still has some Ranma posters and a huge Ranma 1995 calender (unused, I couldn't bring myself to tear the sheets off) hanging in it.  I had fanboy orgasms in late 1992 when the first VHS tape (dubbed!) with two episodes came out in English alongside the SNES Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle.

Caravan Kidd and Outlanders...loved 'em.  What happened to Johji Manabe?  All the guy does now is like furry porn or something.  Sad.

Stuff like Gurren Laggan won't be included because it's not finished yet.  I think that show is getting better now, but to me it went downhill after that certain major event and never recovered.

Watched the first whole Slayers series, the movie, and the first half of the second series and stopped there; I think this was during the time when there was a big switch to DVDs and I didn't want to keep getting it on VHS, and never did get around to replacing them all...

[MrAngryFace]

Slayers Next and Try are worth getting when Funimation releases the re-masters like theyre doing with the first series. The movies and OVAs are the weakest of the Slayers offerings but there ARE some choice Naga eps.

[Ichirou]

My all-time favorite anime shows (not movies or OAVs or anything of that nature) are:

The Vision of Escaflowne:


Turn A Gundam:


Patlabor:


Super Dimension Fortress Macross:


Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam:


Mazinger Z:


Berserk:

(picture of the manga, not the anime)

Dirty Pair Flash:

[Howard Alan Treesong]

HEY DCHARLIE WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON AZUMANGA

[Mr. Gundam]

I've never seen Azumanga.

[bagofeyes]

You guys ever see the one with the big robots? Or the one with the skinny, detached kid who becomes a magic warrior?

[Van Cruncheon]

or the bisexual lolis that'll fuck any sad sack loner who moves into their maid bar?

[Mr. Gundam]

I've never seen Azumanga.

there is a clip here...

I saw the little screaming girl with the sun hat on, and quickly closed it up.

[Van Cruncheon]

charlie, you picked my favorite moment in that series: when tomo fuckin' chucks the key to the summer home for no reason. i used to pull that sort of shit all the time as a kid.

[Mr. Gundam]

I'm really not trying to bag on Azumanga for no reason, just not my thing, apparently.

I do, however, really dig Kodomo no Omocha and Crayon Shin-chan for family friendly Japanese absurdity.

[Yeti]

this thread smells like a trap.

I need to pick up Bebop again. I think a store I know of has all of the remixed dvds.

[Himu]

There are some exceptions, but the anime I listed are the only anime I could ever imagine owning.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

Oh I guess I should have made a list instead of naming just one.Silly me.

Rurouni Kenshin.
Gundum Wing.
One Piece.
FMA.
Samurai Champloo.
Perfect Blue.
Berserk
Outlaw Star.


I can't think of anymore....the rest are just alright.

[Himu]

Outlaw Star sucks.

[Mr. Gundam]

Outlaw Star sucks.

Oh, come on. It's great d-grade campy sci-fi fluff!

[MrAngryFace]

Its okay, I mean there's way worse anime out there.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I still watch Pokemon + Digimon daily

[Himu]

Its okay, I mean there's way worse anime out there.

Definitely.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

NO SHUT UP! OUTLAW STAR IS AWESOME.

[Mr. Gundam]

NO SHUT UP! OUTLAW STAR IS AWESOME.

My college roommate and I used to watch Outlaw Star during it's original late night run on Cartoon Network completely drunk. I think we made up a drinking game to go along with it, which might explain my fondness for it.

[Oblivion]

Samurai Champloo - i like the style and the characters, but the main story is a meandering nothingness and the whole thing feels directionless.

Finally! Somebody that agrees with me. Also, this series probably has the most overrated animu soundtrack in existence.

[MrAngryFace]

Soundtrack sucked but Champloo had as much of an over-arc as Bebop.

[Oblivion]

Did you like Bebop, Mr. Wambaugh?

[Himu]

Samurai Champloo - i like the style and the characters, but the main story is a meandering nothingness and the whole thing feels directionless.

Whatcha mean? Lots of us have said this for ages around these parts. The story is so boring. Their goal was to...chase after a samurai who looks like a butterfly or some shit? I forget.

[demi]

i'm gonna buy Akira on XBL when i get my TV, Akira is tight

TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i think that's my anime knowledge in a nutshell

[Mr. Gundam]

TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Aren't the videos on XBL rental only?

[demi]

Yea, why would I be caught with anime DVDs?

[Mr. Gundam]

Yea, why would I be caught with anime DVDs?

Well, you listen to some crappy music, so why not some crappy DVDs?

[demi]

Because three strikes and I'm out?

Well, I didn't notice much discussion about anime here, so it's news to me! It's just that virtually every messageboard on the internet can't stop talking about it.

Haha. That's funny. I thought the majority opinion was that Champloo was disappointing.

[Van Cruncheon]

i die inside every time i see animu peanuts

[Van Cruncheon]

wait, why is foc posting as his "galeninjapan" account now?

[Himu]

lmao @ peanuts animu

[Tauntaun]

I animu!  Just finished this little series called Black Blood Brothers, it was pretty good.  Watched some Big O the other night with mah boy who's at Otakon right now (he's not fat or stinky though  ) and that's it for recently.  Any of you guys keeping up with the Bleach Manga, HOLY CRAP at the latest chapter.

[Wobedraggled]

Mind me asking a really dumb question, what the fuck is animu?

did we rework anime to mean something else?

[Tauntaun]

it's just anime, we like to call things differently around here   

For instance, would you like me to PM you pics of my penis?  Ok that was a bad example but you get what I mean right?

spoiler (click to show/hide)

so PM pics or not?  circle one: yes/no 

[close]

[Himu]

animu is the most generic of anime. shit with 8 year old girls that have double d tits and stuff or magical fairy princesses, or overly convoluated plots and other type of idiocy. But we call it animu here because we like the stereotype that all anime sucks and like to feed off of it.

[Wobedraggled]

o.k.

I guess I was animu when I was still watching it, I'm so behind, last thing I watched was subs of Naruto and only got 20odd eps in. oh and Scrapped Princess

Stuff I used to like

Sailor moon
Bubble gum Crisis/Crash
Riding Bean
Gunsmith Cats
Evangelion
Plastic Little
PatLabor

etc etc etc...

"animu" as himuro indicates, revolves around the body of cliches -- especially the shallow, prurient ones like lolis, harems, and the "moe" phenomenon -- that comprise a very, very large portion of anime and its collective fandom. satoshi kon and hayao miyazaki productions are not animu; on the other hand, haruhi suzumiya, ai yori aoshi, bleach, fullmetal alchemist, lucky star, and all that other gaffer-hyped shite *is* animu.
