I've watched Ranma 1/2, Azumanga Daioh, Tenchi, Lupin the Third (on Adult Swim), Trigun, One Piece, Inuyasha (mostly on Adult Swim), Nadesico, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, and I've seen the first episodes of Utena, Neon Genesis Evangilion, and Vampire Princess Miyu.

Cowboy Bebop is the only anime I like. I have 1 Lain DVD, but I can't really get into it. What I've seen of the Animatrix is pretty good, too.

It's one of the few things I still watch.

In fact, it's just about the only thing I watch.

I own whatever anime I could find cheap. Well, most of it was cheap. I bought Evangelion on VHS when it was first released, which cost me a total of about $300. But I managed to get the Trigun DVD box for $35, and I bought Blue Seed when I saw it at Best Buy for $40. That said, I haven't watched much anime in a few years. I want to get Kenshin DVDs, but I'm broke, and will continue to be broke for at least a year.

Last week I saw some show called "Read Or Die". It's only 3 episodes long, and it's awesome. I'd highly recommend it.

I could be completely wrong though.

And my favorite anime movie is Princess Mononoke.

I'm not really that big an anime fan. I've watched Akira and the Ghost in the Shell. I also bought most of the early Robotech DVDs, but got bored with them and sold them.

I dunno it just seems like too much chatting about god knows what and bad translation, or even things that aren't translatable.

I own alot of stuff from Fx, but Mac's stuff is good too. Oh and $33 is a rip off for Fx dvd's. It should always be $21 for a 3 disc set.

I used to watch a lot of anime, but lately I have seen less and less.

Some of my favorites are:

Macross series
Cowboy Bebop
Azumanga
Grave of the Fireflies
Initial D
Great Teacher Onizuka
Hoshi no Koe
Onegai Teacher
Rahxephon
Fruits Basket
Chobits
Love Hina
Kenshin Trust/Betrayal
Full Metal Panic

I am sure there are more...

The only current anime I have been keeping up with is samurai champloo and Macross Zero.

Shintenrouken
08-20-2004, 03:39 AM
Mine would have to be:
FLCL (bought vol 1 the other day)
Cowboy Bebop
Inuyasha
Case Closed
Outlaw Star
Tenchi
Rurouni Kenshin
Zoids
Big O
It kinda drifts off from there. I can't remember the rest for now.

NeueZiel
08-20-2004, 03:45 AM
Quite a few lets see

Kenshin
Big-O
Vampire Hunter D
Ninja Scroll
Gundam (Original MSG, 0083, Zeta, Char's Counterattack, Wing, Turn-A)
Hellsing
Evangelion
Betterman
X
Vandred

Most of what I watch is anime. Do you guys watch fansubs? Some of my favorites that I have watched in the past/am watching now...

Naruto-best anime ever(my opinion :D )
Mars Daybreak
One Piece
GANTZ
Bakuretsu Tenshi
Monster
Midori No Hibi
Samurai Champloo
Street Fighter V
Yumeria
I could go on and on but these are some of my currents.

CrimGhost
08-20-2004, 04:00 AM
Monster is great. Ive been reading Gantz for awhile, how is the show?

Mr Unoriginal
08-20-2004, 10:00 AM
I love watching anime, but it's so damn expensive that I usually pass on it. I need a place around here that rents cheap anime. Do the rest of you buy it all?

karsh
08-20-2004, 10:38 AM
The more I look at it, my past stance of "not an anime watcher" is slowly being toppled like the Berlin Wall. I now watch:

Rurouni Kenshin (my favorite anime)
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Wolf's Rain
Naruto
Inuyasha

Who knows what I'll be watching by the end of this school year, since that's when I got into Kenshin, Trigun, Bebop, Naruto, and Outlaw Star.
And as much as I hate to admit it, I've downloaded most of my anime, excluding Wolf's Rain and Inuyasha, but that's only cause I just started watching it. Anime was WAY too expensive to buy on DVD.

WildWop
08-20-2004, 10:43 AM
all anime is good anime.

I disagree wholeheartedly. Watch Anime Unleashed on G4TechTV. They put on some of the worst anime I've ever seen. Awful dubbing, poor animation, moronic storylines.

Back on topic, however, I've watched:

Ranma 1/2
Record of Lodoss War
Berserk [hope they make a second series, 'cause the manga is awesome]
Cowboy Bebop
Naruto
Neon Genesis Evangelion

xxdeadp0olxx
08-20-2004, 10:45 AM
Yes. These are the ones I've seen so far:

Trigun
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Cowboy Bebop
Hellsing
Berserk
X - The Series
Ninja Scroll
Vampire Hunter D
Blood - The Last Vampire
Gundam Wing
Ronin Warriors
Outlaw Star
Record of Lodoss War
Princess Mononoke

I've also seen some episodes of Witch Hunter Robin, Inuyasha, and Rurouni Kenshin on Cartoon Network. I still have Escaflowne and Lain to watch. I have no idea what to get after I'm done with those though. Any recommendations?

EDIT - Added Record of Lodoss War & Princess Mononoke

Only if you're talking about the OAV. I watched that first, and couldn't tolerate the campy tv series with the non-lethal swordplay. It became just another generic anime series, like Inuyasha (which gives me a headache).

Speaking of generic anime, damn I'm tired of people yelling out technique names before they do it. "VIPER SWORD SLASH OF GAMELON THAT I LEARNED FROM MASTER HIROSHI!" Oh really? Wow. Great. I DON'T CARE WHAT IT'S CALLED.

But I prefer Looney Tunes.

I used to. Now I only watch anime if a particularly good movie comes out.

I have seen:

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Cowboy Bebop
Too much Dragon Ball Z
Gundam Wing
Gundam: 08th MS Team
G Gundam
FLCL
Outlaw Star
Kenshin OVA's
Akira
Ninja Scroll
Princess Mononoke
Totoro
Laputa
Spirited Away
Perfect Blue
Millenium Actress
Tokyo Godfathers
Metropolis
Spriggan

08-20-2004, 12:10 PM
Yes, Ranma 1/2, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Berserk, Gundam, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, Fushigi Yuugi, Akria, Ninja Scrolls, and probably some more.

MeGaWC27
08-20-2004, 12:24 PM
Quite a lot... but to just list from the top of my head:
Vandread, Naruto, Inuyasha, Love Hina, Ai Yori Aoshi, Rurouni Kenshin, Trigun, Tenjou Tenge, Fushigi Yuugi, Full Moon wo Sagashite, and a bunch of others.

Ummm...The whole fucking point of the series is that Kenshin makes a vow never to kill again, and begins using the reverse blade sword. You obviously weren't paying attention to the show at all...The OAVs are when Kenshin is still Battousai the Manslayer, and thus can kill people.

08-20-2004, 02:04 PM
These are all the anime that I've watched that I really like:
Current stuff:
Boys over Flowers

Stuff that has been finished:
CardCaptor Sakura
Love Hina
Escaflowne
Chance Pop Session
Oh My Goddess!

EDIT - Added Record of Lodoss War & Princess Mononoke

Based on what you've seen I'd reommend:

Akira - This should be standard viewing for everyone with a slight interest in anime
Gungrave
Macross Plus (the 2-part OAV, not the movie)
Ghost in the Shell
Previous Gundam series
Armored Trooper VOTOMS
Patlabor
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
Big O
RahXephon
Garsakaki
Blue Gender
Noir
Ninja Scroll: the series
Lupin the 3rd (though it doesn't fit right in with the genre you listed it a good anime, I particularly suggest the movie Caslte of Cagliostro, which was directed by Miyazaki)

And I'm sure there is more that others can suggest...

zewone
08-20-2004, 03:31 PM
Wow. This thread actually took off after more than a year of no posts. And I watch anime. Heres my list of series I keep up with.
FLCL
Naruto
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Neon Genesis Evangelion
And I've seen to many anime movies to remember. My local anime store actually has a rental policy so I actually have a good selection to choose from

I fully understand the reason for the reversed blade, but (pun not intended) the edge that the OAV had was lost in the process. If it were a serious anime with a guy dealing with his horrible past, I would have lapped it up like so much Jack Daniels. What they gave us, instead, was a campy shade of the former badass Battousai. I didn't bite.

And FYI, I watched a full season of that crap before judging it. Be more careful before you jump to conclusions.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've seen Akira and I own Ghost in the Shell & Vampire Hunter D : Bloodlust. I knew I left some off when I was writing the list. I was interested in the Ninja Scroll series since I think the original kicks ass, I just wasn't sure if it was going to be as good. Well, I'll definitely be sure to check out some of those other ones. Thanks again.

Oh yeah, I liked the Stand Alone Complex, granted I've only seen what's on the 1st volume, but I found it to be very slick, especially for a movie to series translation (which usually end up sucking). It's also been getting pretty good reviews.

WildWop
08-20-2004, 04:02 PM
Record of Lodoss War if you like Fantasy at all. I wasn't hooked on the continuous-storyline animes until that one. I was pretty much into serials at that point, like Ranma 1/2 and Cowboy Bebop.

Berserk is also excellent.

It might be a little to heady for someone coming off Cowboy Bebop. It verges on nonsensical towards the end, and don't even get me started on the End of Evangelion redo. Yikes. It takes two times through the series before it stops giving you a migraine, but if you have the luck to fully understand it the first time through, it's great. The Evas are really cool to watch, too.

Duo_Maxwell
08-20-2004, 04:22 PM
Yeah Cowboy Bebop is a very tough act to follow up. Just about everything is top notch on that series, including the ADR/voice over work.

I used to be a total anime freak, but now I've cooled down. I'll watch it if it's on, but I don't exactly watch the clock waiting for them to come on.

I particularly enjoyed Rurouni Kenshin, Trigun, and Cowboy Bebop.

Here's some recent purchases on my shelf that I need to make my way through:

Cardcaptor Sakura complete series [NOT bootleg]
Sailor Moon S1 and S2
Sakura Diaries Collectors Edition [I bought and watched the non-CE not too long before the CE came out, then traded the non for the CE, but haven't been in the mood to watch it again yet]
Excel Saga IMPerfect Collection [had disks 1-3, then traded them in and got the Imperfect Collection when BB had 20% off]

and recently watched via netflix:
Cowboy Bebop
Evangelion
Millenium Actress
Cat Soup [would have been better if someone were under the influence]

Probably a lot more, but those are off the top of my head, and I've been gaming a lot more than watching DVd's recently.

It's one of the few things I still watch.

In fact, it's just about the only thing I watch.

And my favorite anime movie is Princess Mononoke.

So many good ones, too hard to pick one, so here's a good majority of them.

Rurouni Kenshin
Yu Yu hakusho
DBZ
DBGT (you may think it's stupid, but I enjoy watching the action.)
Dragonball
Cowboy Bebop
Big-O
Inuyasha
kiddy grade
vampire hunter d
Helsing
Gundam Wing (the others, other than G and seed gundam are not that good).
Blue Gender
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Blood The Last Vampire
Grave of the Fireflies
Princess Mononoke
Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust
Ninja Scroll
Animatrix
I'm starting to get a little into Witch Hunter Robin
Neon Genesis Evangelion is amazing
Full Metal Panic
Ranma 1/2

Noir actually is very much like Cowboy Bebop, but with more female characters, the styles are quite similar. Trigun is slightly more campy than Bebop but you'd be able to make a fairly easy transition.

I dunno who suggested FLCL, but I wouldn't recommend it at all if the only anime you've watched is Bebop. That doesn't mean it's a bad series exactly, just not nearly as mainstream as Bebop is and is really in a different style. Personally, I'm not a huge FLCL fan myself, yet I do recommend you watch it at some point when you really get into anime (if you choose to do so) because to the show's credit it's both unique and well done.

That doesn't mean it's a bad series exactly, just not nearly as mainstream as Bebop is and is really in a different style. Personally, I'm not a huge FLCL fan myself, yet I do recommend you watch it at some point when you really get into anime (if you choose to do so) because to the show's credit it's both unique and well done.

thnx for taking the time to reply to my question......i'll heed your suggestions

Thumbs up for that great post.

My favorite anime is and has been for a long time Evangelion.

Some other favorites are Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, .hack//sign, FLCL and (so far) Samurai Champloo.

I am really into manga though, so most of the series that come out i can't like because they are based on manga and do such a bad job i can't even watch it (like naruto, GREAT manga, horrible anime, same with inuyasha).

Evangelion is the shiite!!! The Platinum Edition is a feast for the eyes and ears.

I like anime too, and have seen too many series to list them all.

I don't watch anime as much as I used to because I can't find a good video store in town to rent them from anymore. When I lived in California my local video store had a huge anime section, and even had some trauma inducing hentai in their porn section. Since I moved to Nevada the only "anime" I can find at my local video store is Pokemon or Hamtaro *barfs*. Anime is too expensive for me to buy...plus there is nothing worse than paying alot of money for an anime DVD only to go home, watch it, and totally hate the series. I never buy anime anymore unless I get to watch it first.

Now I'm stuck watching anime on TechTV and Cartoon Network. TechTV anime is some of the worse...horrible stuff, and so poorly dubbed that half of it doesn't make any damn sense whatsover, I call it "incomprehensible anime". Adult Swim isn't that bad, it just takes them forever to get new episodes of anything, so they end up playing the same stuff over and over again.

Is that the one that came out not too long ago? What's the difference? Any new scenes?

I've watched all of...

FLCL (Dub), Cowboy Bebop (Dub & Sub), Trigun (Dub & Sub), Dragon Ball Z (Dub), Gundam Wing (Dub), Gundam 08th MS (Dub), Petshop of Horror (Sub), Evangelion (Sub).

Some of... well a lot, DVDs are too pricey, and downloads are too obnoxious.

edit - forgot one series.

Fx dvd's rule!

Agree. I got Hellsing, Cowboy Bebop, GTO, and some of Inuyasha really cheap that way. I got almost all of Yu Yu Hakusho from Best Buy though. Just 7 DVDs left till the end.

My fav series are Yu Yu Hakusho, Blue gender, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, GTO, Inu Yasha, Chobits, Evangelion, and Detective Conan.
