Anime- any fans? (General Anime thread)

[Cataulin]

Big O did rock the house. Even if there was nothing more to Big O than the theme music, it'd still rock. "Cast in the name of God, ye not guilty! We have come to terms, Big O!"

Riiiiiiight.

DOOD thats my favorite anime ever.

[Obviously]

Mecha is a sub genre of anime. so what your really saying is that you like anime.

Well not all Mecha is Japanese or anime, but what I meant is it's the only part of the genre that really sparks an interest in me.

Anime is like a lifestyle to me,
I'm a huge "ghost in the shell" fan and other cyberpunk anime like "Serial Experiments Lain"
other series I like are:

neon genesis evangelion
noir
cowboy bebop
wolfs rain
trigun
hellsing
streetfighter (especially the movies)
Hayao Miyazaki movies
bleach
naruto (till they ruined it with filler eps)
vampire hunter D
love hina
appleseed

Can anyone give me their opinion on Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' On Heaven's Door before I go rent it?

[kain611]

Is Ark considered Anime? If so that was pretty cool from the 30 minutes I watched. Thanks to DVR I can watch it later

Can anyone give me their opinion on Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' On Heaven's Door before I go rent it?

Is that the movie?

[Cataulin]

Is that the movie?

Yes it is. Just think of it as a Better drawn longer episode. Like one of those three parters with Vicious.



Anyways anyone watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni?

Excellent show. its currently at episode 9.

Lil' comment about Cowboy Bebop:

I couldn't believe Spike died! I had no clue that was coming, because I foolishly thought that the movie took place *after* the series was over. What a shocking ending, at least for me.

yeah well they did mention that only they could kill each other so it was bound to happen

[Nazza]

I was more confused by the explanation of what it symbolised, not sure where I read it :S

Yeah the Cowboy Bebop movie was pretty cool, I liked it. Good memories.

I usually just get to watch the anime shown on adult swim. So far my favorite has to be Cowboy Bebop and I've wanted the series on dvd for a long time, but I just haven't gotten a chance to get it yet. I did watch Samurai Champloo and I enjoyed it about as much as I enjoyed Cowboy Bebop. I watched Wolf's Rain and I like that show too, but it was a little depressing and not as fun. I like WitchHunter Robin and Fullmetal Alchemist. The only anime I'm watching now that has new episodes is Inuyasha, but it's lasted too long in my opinion. It's a decent show, but sometimes you just want to yell, "Kill Naraku already, will ya?" I'd be very interested in anybody who enjoys any of the shows that I've just mentioned if they would like to discuss them with me. Any Miyazaki fans can talk to me too. Out of the movies of his that I've seen so far I've liked most of them and I own two of them so far, Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away.

I like Miyazaki movies, cowboy bebop, neon genesis evangelion, and wolf's rain. I heard that neon genesis evangelion has made a few movies. Are they any good? I haven't seen them yet and I was wondering if I should check them out?

[Kagome]

I love Cowboy Bebop!! Does anyone like Inuyasha?

Although it definitely tries to imitate anime, I don't really think it can be considered as such.

[Sega Saturn x]

Evangelion, however, has thrown me for a loop. I'm on episode 15 and so far I see nothing that should merit acclaim as the 'best anime ever'. It seems like just another largely silly mecha title, with some admittedly awesome mecha designs that beat Gundam into the dirt.

That's because the show is pretty trashy, I wrote a long review on it and ended up giving it a D.

I drift in and out of anime, the shows I like the most are mecha and comidies. Macross is still the best anime ever made IMHO.
