…and:

  • The kid who is given command of an entire battalion
  • The sexually ambiguous general with a female-ninja-looking mech
  • The psychopath (who works for the army of course) with the HUGE mass-destruction mech
  • The dark guy with some gothic-looking mech
  • The big, strong and stupid guy with a fist-fighting mech
  • The knight with a sword-fighting mech (even if ultrapositronspacetimedisplacementbeamcannons are available)
  • The protagonist’s love interest who will get wounded even when her mech gets shot in its pinky finger
  • The gun lover, with his gun-loving mech (with infinite ammo if said guy is on the evil side, but with ammo that will run out when most needed if he’s on the good side)

/me is suprised to find two anime fans :happy: …

horray for FMA too!

#7

Well, I’m not an anime conoisseur, the above comes from my anime-game-playing. God I want a mech delivered here. NOW!

#8

We should make an Anime-thread in the playground… though We would be the only one spamming in it (maybe Wolf too :razz: )

#9

moved to playground
freedom88 edit your first post and change the title to something you would like :smile:

#10

SPAM!!!

You called? :cool:

#11

lol @ Wolf…

Anyone recommend some good anime? … I’ve just finished the FMA series :sad: …

#12

Dragonball :grin:

#13

Well, Dragonball is endless (ie peace doesn’t last for more than a week), so if you like storylines, it’s a little tough to watch.

#14

lol true… but i’ve seen the whole series of that too … sigh…

#15

Then why don’t you post a list of anime you’ve seen? (It feels scary writing this since “anime” in my language means “souls”) :bored:

#16

wow did’nt know anime meant souls in… er … italien?

…but i’ve only seen a few animes…

princess mononoke
grave of the fireflies
Full Metal Alchemist
Naruto (currently still watching)
Ninja scroll
X
Spriggan
Fist of the north star (movie)
Street fighter II

er… I think thats it really… any suggestions… i’m really getting into anime now :happy:!

#17

Oh, I like anime. Basicially my whole Japanese class at uni is totally obsessed with it, lol. I can’t say I’ve seen nearly as much of it as they have (when I say they’re obsessed, I mean OBSESSED), but I still like it.

Ones I’ve seen:

  • Almost anything by Hayao Miyazaki, who is a total genius (except Howl’s Moving Castle, which I’m dying to see because the original book was written by my favourite author, Diana Wynne Jones)
  • Perfect Blue
  • NGE (but I didn’t really like this, I couldn’t understand it)
  • Sailor Moon (when I was little and they still showed it on TV)
  • Pokemon (only a few episodes)

… I guess I prefer the movies to the TV series, really.

My suggestions to Freedom (since you asked!):

  • Everything by Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki, they’re fantastic!
  • Inuyasha. I haven’t seen the anime version of this, but the manga is brilliant. Pretty violent, though.

Notes on Air TV: It has GREAT (really, AMAZING) animation, it’s based on a hentai game… (apparently h-games in Japan have plot XD) its not ecchi, nor hentai, go see it ^^.

#20

Well, I’ve seen most of the ones freedom88 has listed on his post there.

Grave of the Fireflies - we own and it breaks my heart whenever I see it.

FMA - I love

Sailor Moon - was great w/out all the editing done for USA tv

I like Elfen Lied although it’s very graphic.

Vampire Hunter D or something like that. Very good.

Spirited Away

And thanks to Fadem I have a cool a** link.

#21

Geez! What is the deal w/ Anime?
/me waits for the expected smack on the head.
I’ve only seen some of what they have on Starz (Well you know, some of the vampire ones anyway. I mean it’s vampires! Of course I’m gonna watch it, if there isn’t anything else on)
And I saw Spirited Away and various other kid’s cartoons more time than I like to remember. My kids love it. So why is it that everybody is so up on this stuff. What am I missing?

#22

/me smacks Anamcara.

Gosh that felt good. Then you haven’t watched the right Anime. Most of what you see on tv isn’t really technically good.

They’re worth watching. Except if you just think of them as cartoons then you’ll never get it.

#23

“Hey!”
/me thinks maybe Iluminada put a little extra smack in there.

Ok, I’ll look for some by the Hayo guy and see for myself.

#24

:silent: I plead the 5th on that comment.

With anime, you have to think of what type of characters you like. What do you like in a movie or plot. B/c not all anime is compatible to what people like.

And with some of these people you really have to enjoy or not mind sci-fi.
