ledzep Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 cowboy bebop is awesome. The Armitage series is very good and sort of deals with the same stuff. Akira (given). have you heard of ghost in a shell? thats another great one. anything by miyazaki (spirited away, princess mononoke, graveyard of fire flies) thats some trippy stuff, plus great story telling and animation. Vampire hunter D is cool too. thats it from the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Producto Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 yeah i bought ghost in the shell last week..really liked it.i might get the series soon..thanks for the recommendations...ill check them out..ive been looking at something called "berserk" aswell..looks dope cheers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AREANKAY Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 also check out the bootleg anime vhs tapes that comic stores sell. you can find stuff that you wont find over here like the 3 i mentioned i dont even know if there availiable on DVD in the US, they where like sent via computer files then put on vhs tapes from the computer. in one tape i have windows crashes during the show and you see the buddy list go off anf a blue screen its kind silly.

S@T@N Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Armenhammer, fucking great call on the Cowboy Bebop. That's without a doubt my favorite anime series. Check out Inuyasha, thats a pretty good series too. I have a couple of the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Morris Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 defintely need to check out FLCL...its kinda more off the beaten path of traditional anime but its fucking AWESOME....all my favorites have already been mentioned in here so thats all I can giv you.

Guest Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 damnit... please STOP mentioning Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Ninja Scroll. these are classics and all, but they're old. It's like when someone asks for a good movie to rent and you tell him 'The Godfather'. If he hasnt already seen it, then he probably doesnt deserve a good recomendation. so for NEW anime flicks..... Beautiful Days ------ is amazing. Korean and built with real models, starwars style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fondles Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 So many...It depends on what kind of anime you like, though. Here are some I personally like myself: Full Metal Alchemist - current ongoing series - fucking ill shit. Kiddy Grade - completed series - suuuper fuckin tight animation. No CG at all. Melody of Oblivion - ongoing series - future setting Scrapped Princess - completed series - cool, sword + magic era setting Read or Die - completed series - excellent though you want to slap this one bitch for being such a scary hoe. Gunslinger Girls - completed series - little killer girls with guns. Big guns. Samurai Deeper Kyo - completed series - Samurai/Ninja shit. Watch it. Fuck Inuyasha and Samurai X both. Demon Eyes Kyo would fuck those bitches up. King of Bandit Jing - completed series - very artistic and creative. Too many to list really. I got all of these (and more) on DVD via bittorrent. Unless you are completely against bootleggs, I would suggest downloading at least 1 episode to watch and then decide if you want to buy the real DVDs.

Fondles Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Oh yeah, Naruto is on episode 104 right now. So catching up will take some time. Besides, it's not that great of a series. Maybe 25 of the 104 episodes (so far) are worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Originally posted by El Producto@Oct 14 2004, 06:36 PM recently ive been getting interested in anime stuff. and im starting to buy dvd's. and i was just wondering if anyone could recomend something or have any trailers??..heres a few that i think are good. Blood:the last vampire Dead Leaves Cowboy Bebop Quoted post I just recently started watching anime. I'm pretty picky, but I have found I *really* like Miyazaki's work. Spirited Away Princess Mononoke Laputa: Castle in the Sky Kiki's Delivery Service are all GREAT movies. Also worth watching is: The Castle of Cagliostro Animated by Miyazaki, this is a take off of the long running series "Lupin The Third" , which is a very good Anime cartoon. Also, a little more kiddish, but Inuyasha is very entertaining, at least to me. At the very least, watch Spirited Away... one of my favorite movies of all time.

Gunm Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Miyazaki's stuff in unbelivable quality. Fugazi k ows what's up. Fist of the North Star is decent but homoeroticism abounds in this flick. Project A-KO is great. Cute girls in school uniforms going to town in a humorous sci fi tale. Riding Bean is a little known but very good "wheel man" flick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DREDZ Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 ...the Armitage titles are tight...especially 'Dual Matrix' ...i was fuckin' with Kiddy Grade but the plots in the first couple of episodes were a bit to slow and not very engaging...i heard it got better as the series progressed, but i didn't feel like shelling out any more paper for the shit...maybe i'lll get it on the dl... ...Cutey Honey was pretty fresh...the character design is sick...the plot and sexual humor is a bit corny tho...

Quoted post Did you know we're getting four more Miyazaki films here in the States in November? Porco Rosso My Neighbor Totoro Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind and the brand new one "Howl's Moving Castle". Nausicaa has been compared to Lord of The Rings as an amazing epic. The current version in the U.S. is cut down crap. This will be amazing. Totoro is one of Ebert's favorite Miyazaki films; I have yet to see it. I hear it's incredibly beautiful. Howl's Castle is going to be amazing. All of the beauty and magic of Spirited Away. I can't wait... November first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOOGLE? Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 ....i slowed down on the whole otaku bit for the last 5 years.. but i will tell you that buying anime on dvd is the worst choice you can make.. you are better off doing that extra little detective work to find a shop or person that has that shit on vhs subtitled or dubbed..cause the average episode is 21 minutes 65 seconds and when you buy dvd you only get 3 to 4 episodes for 19 to 30 bucks... it aint worth it unless your are collecting older series like ranma or tenchi..hell even slayers go bit torrent if you have a good connection or your p2p of choice and just slap them on vcd or dvd.. much cheaper edited to pat myself on the back for not clicking on an anime thread for so long..and not ranting about why fist of the northstar is still the best violent anime ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badmotorfinger Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 oh if you like drift racing (and honestly if you know what it is how couldnt you) and a really crappy intro to the series id recomend Initial D. thus far , after the first episode , its been pretty good.

Guest sneak Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 i dont know much about anime, but my flat mates has an anime copy of "ichy the killer2 or something. apparntly its pretty brutal.. el producto, i could probably give u directions to a few shops which may sell em (comic book types) but tbh, a lot of HMVs now have an anime section.
