Anime!

[Onilink89]

Yes who watches anime?
What kinda anime do you like?
Which anime have you watched or are you currently watching?

Discuss these kinda things here. :D

[Skull_Kid]

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Dragonball, Full metal alchemist, Shuffle, Helsing, Ghost in the Shell, Escaflowne... etc

[Smitie]

I watched almost every anime on fox kids/jetix :p. I watch the dutch version of Shinzo a lot.

[Skull_Kid]

Shinzo is an okay anime... i remember watching it when i was a little kiddo

[Midna666]

My favorite anime series is Tenchi Muyo.

[Skull_Kid]

it's not bad, but i can't seem to like it, much like Naruto

[Stella3000]

I watch whatever anime I can....but sadly our internet doesn't let us download much...AT ALL, and we don't get it on TV.

I like Vampire Knight and watch it from time to time.

[Hylian Hobbit]

Bleach and Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo are my favorites. There aren't many I particularly like besides those, but I watch a lot of others anyway.

[Smitie]

Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo is awful (well, the dutch version is awful)

[Hylian Hobbit]

Your kidding. o.O It's like the best anime evah! :P I don't know about the dutch version though.

[Smitie]

but it's so weird and chaotic and the dutch voices are bad.

[kpllk]

I don't really watch anime. Unless you consider family guy and the simpsons to be anime.

[Hylian Hobbit]

Nah, I don't think that would be considered anime.

[Skull_Kid]

nope, they aren't anime... they are american cartoons... i'm a bit tired of family guy, but The Simpsons will rock 4 ever

[Y2K3]

The only anime I've ever really watched was Pokemon and Digimon.
However, Death Note was amazing from the little bit that I had seen.

[Skull_Kid]

i completely forgot about Pokémon and Digimon...Death Note is pretty good, if you ask me,it has some great stuff going on it:)

[Smitie]

Digimon was fun, much better than pokemon.

[Skull_Kid]

the first and second series of digimon were fun, after that it went down the well and got crappy... pokémon has good episodes and crappy episodes, the only thing is that there are more crappy episodes than good ones

[Josh]

Digimon, I think the two last seasons, or maybe just the last one, Pokemon from season 1 until whenever Gold and Silver stopped, and Death Note. That show was ******* amazing.

[Vincent]

I have a pretty long list. Just click the below link.

Just finished watching: Gilgamesh

Currently watching: Monster

Planning to watch: There are some ongoing second seasons, so i'm waiting until there are more eps. Will list those in the future.

[Kitsu]

One of my favourites is Death Note, although I liked the manga better. I also like Full Metal Alchemist. Rurouni Kenshin was pretty good, too.
I can't get into very much, but once in a while I'll watch Naruto.

[Vincent]

You call that long, check out my list!

Good lord, you have too much free time.

[Hylian Hobbit]

Holy crapplenulz Oni. o.O That list is insane. Are all those anime? Or are some just manga? Or am I confused and the two are considered the same thing? :P

[Onilink89]

Good lord, you have too much free time.

Lol i started watching english subbed anime on the internet when i was 14.
And here on holland there is nothing on tv so, instead of watching tv, i was watching anime. -.-

EDIT:

Holy crapplenulz Oni. o.O That list is insane. Are all those anime? Or are some just manga? Or am I confused and the two are considered the same thing? :P

Just all anime! :D

[linkman8]

Well I've watched quite a bit since a while back. I've seen Shakugan no Shana, Mahoraba, Shuffle!, Lucky Star, Zero no Tsukaima... Loads of stuff. I want to get the manga for Negima.

[Y2K3]

Oooo... Sailor Moon.
I used to love that show when I was little! haha

[DisappearingMist]

My favorite anime is Inuyasha. I've seen several series since finishing Inuyasha, but it's still my favorite. I also love Hayao Miyazaki's films! My favorites are Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.

[chrisbg99]

I watch a lot of different things. A lot of it depends on mood and such.

Some of my favorites are:

FLCL
Ghost in the Hell: SAC
Ranma 1/2
Cowboy Bebop
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Azumanga Daioh
Lucky Star
Gunslinger Girl
Eva
Excel Saga
Genshiken

Lucky Star

Genshiken

Some of that is pretty mainstream stuff. I tend to get away from that stuff (minus stuff like Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star), and go for stuff that isn't released in America. Like stuff like Bleach, Inuyasha, Naruto, and that stuff, I won't touch.

[chrisbg99]

That's mostly because I'm not some elitist dork who thinks he is above watching what the plebes watch.

What a stupid way to go through life.

[Onilink89]

That's mostly because I'm not some elitist dork who thinks he is above watching what the plebes watch.

What a stupid way to go through life.

I hope you are not pointing at me or something, because i'm not like that.

I don 't think that i'm some kinda elitist with this.

Now i know i have one long list, but please people keep in mind, that list is being kept for like 5 or 6 years. Like i said, there is nothing much on tv here, so i like to watch anime instead. But i don 't read manga or anthying else, just anime.

[chrisbg99]

No, not you. Linkman's statement that he avoids anything "mainstream" because it is popular here. What a stupid reason to not watch something.

I watch a lot of stuff that is released here and along with a lot of stuff that is not. I'm not going to stop watching a show or avoid it just because it may have become popular outside of Japan.

[linkman8]

I didn't infer you had to. I stated my opinion, and that was it. And above watching what the plebes watch? Where do you get this stuff? Your inferences and defensive behavior are unnecessary and confuse me to the highest degree. I don't watch mainstream; that's all I meant to say.

[EponaOwns]

I watched this one anime show but I forget what it is called!!! GAWR!! It is on adult swim and it is about this guy with long gray hair with kitty ears I think he wears this red puffy outfit and has a sword and there is this cat and a girl and a little girl...

[chrisbg99]

That would be Inuyasha. Watched it in the beginning of Adult Swim but lost interest as it really started to drag on and on and on and on.

[Hylian Hobbit]

I've watched Inuyasha a few times, but I could never really get into it. But I might give it another chance someday. Probably when I'm sitting around doing nothing... Like I am everyday.

[DisappearingMist]

Inuyasha gets pretty good. Sometimes it drags, but I enjoy it. I watch it in Japanese with subtitles. There's a big like 30 episode major storyline towards the end of the series that gets really fascinating.

[Claire]

I've never been that into anime or manga, but in the past I've watching the following shows (correct me if these aren't anime :p):

PokeMon
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Sailor Moon
Digimon
Hamtaro
Hello Kitty

My favorites of this list are PokeMon and Hamtaro (I still have my Hamtaro book and a few of the Ham Hams, and I still have my PokeMon blanket).

^^ Not much, but hey - it's something! I used to also read Tokyo Mew Mew and Fruits Basket, which I know is manga.

[Smitie]

Hamtaro, that theme song is so annoying >.<
Yu-Gi-Oh! I also liked that show, but sometimes it was a bit vague

Anime and Dutch tv don't match I think. All the kids channels here are filled with cheap, crappy series (except fairly odd parents, which is awesome, but not anime) and I think the only anime left is pokemon -.-

Holland has the Fairly Oddparents? That's an American show. :)
The only channel that I know of that has anime here is Cartoon Network, which has anime on past like 10:00 PM. (Great, huh? I go to bed at 10:00, so no anime for me outside of DVD's and internet.)

[Smitie]

Cartoon network isn't a standard channel, you have to pay extra to get it. And why are you so surprised that we have american shows on dutch tv (it's not that because we live in europe, we have to watch european tv shows ;)). Even America has one dutch show.

[Josh]

We.......do? I've never seen anything dutch on my tv.

And Fairly Oddparents is ours. =<

[Smitie]

So you never saw sesame street josh :p.

[Chidori]

Oh boy, I've seen a lot of Anime. Probably not the most on this site but quite a bit:

Death Note
Code Geass 1 and 2
Gundam Seed
Gundam Seed Destiny
Love Hina
Gintama (I gotta admit I hated this one)
Kanokon (I hated this more)
Ichigo 100%
Detective Conan
Akagi
Hayate no Gotoku
Akira
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Speed Racer (......um.....wow)
Naruto
Bleach
Kanon 2006
Clannad
Rurouni Kenshin (Otherwise known as Samurai X, at least on Sci Fi)
Cowboy Bepop
School Days
Shuffle
Chrono Crusade
Chobits
DearS
Lupin the 3rd
Gants
Elfen Lied

I'm sure there are others but they aren't coming to the top of my head.

[linkman8]

Chidori, you've got a nice list there. I watched some of the stuff you did. Like School Days; ugh, I hated that one. The ending was horrible, though I'm sure Onilink would disagree. :D

I'm going to see if I can find my list, so I can post it.

[small link]

I LOVE ANIME!!! i think that we should live in an anime world! that would be SWEET! (expecially Naruto world!!)

ok my faves:

NARUTO!!!! :clap: :clap: <3 imadicted to it! i love it!!!!!! CHA! BELIEVE IT!
Bleach
slayers
DeathNote
Inuyasha
Elfinlied
Shingu
Shadow skill
yu-yu hakosho

Thats all the ones i can name at the top of my head, but thier are lots more

[Onilink89]

Chidori, you've got a nice list there. I watched some of the stuff you did. Like School Days; ugh, I hated that one. The ending was horrible, though I'm sure Onilink would disagree. :D

I'm going to see if I can find my list, so I can post it.

LOl yeah school days ending was quite unexpected... i did not like it nor hate it :D

Oh also another thing, Chidori and I switched eachothers watched animes titles on msn sometimes.
Chidori was the one who said to watch school days and gantz, while i said reccomended speed grapher to him. :D

Anyway, for now i'm taking a little break with watching anime.
And next to that, there are some ungoing titles (most of them second seasons) right now, so i'm also watching that:
Gundam 00 (a second season)
Clannad After story (a second season)
Ef - A tale of melodies (a second season)
Nodame Cantabile Paris (a second season)

The new ungoing titles (thats not second season), well i just wait for them untill all episodes are out.

[Smitie]

have you watched shinzo already oni? it wasn't on your enormous list

[Kybyrian]

Death Note, Bleach, not much others, now that I actually think of it.

I'm not real big into Anime.

[Zeanith]

I Like Fooly Cooly. :P Haruko reminds me of me.

[Onilink89]

Am i like the only one who likes the Gundam series here?

Gundam rockz! I have seen the first series, but that was english dubbed when i was little.
Then i watched Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny.
Also Gundam 00 and now busy with Gundam 00 second season.

[chrisbg99]

I think Gundam is Japan's on-going joke to the world.

[Dragon Tamer]

I watch Naruto, Inuyasha, Code Geass. Most of the anime i like is from a manga.
There is no limit for me reading manga. I enjoy watching anime because the action
is better...and in color. ;)

[MajoraKing12]

I love watch the american Anime Avatar the last airbender! It's so funny, I love to watch. When I made this post I was watching it.

[linkman8]

I love watch the american Anime Avatar the last airbender! It's so funny, I love to watch. When I made this post I was watching it.
Technically Avatar is American with some Chinese. I actually watched that back when it was on too, and I was thinking, "There is not a lot of Japanese culture in this, it's more Chinese".
Has anyone else noticed that, or am I mistaken?

To me it was anime, but thats just me.

[Onilink89]

I'm currently watching Lucky Star.

Yes i'm hearing a lot of positive reactions from this one, in the start it looked kinda childish to me. So far so good! :D

[linkman8]

Oh yeah, I watched Lucky Star. Good show that doesn't mean anything. It's sort of like Azumanga Daioh, except better. Konata is the main personality of that show. Believe me when I say the first few episodes are confusing and pointless, but it gets better.

[Onilink89]

Hmmmm...
Well i'm now at episode 5, well i'm curious what will happen later like you said.
The really addicting part is the Intro song for some reason. :D

[linkman8]

The really addicting part is the Intro song for some reason. :D
I know what you mean. I was confused at first, thinking "what is this?" but it grows on you, doesn't it?
I think some of my favorite episodes are some of the latter ones, like 19-24. I like the others too, but the latter ones are my favorites.

[Onilink89]

linkman8, you mentiond something about Azumanga Daioh.
i'm currently watching it, its good but not better then lucky star.

ow yeah here is some big news!!!
more new seasons coming up in december and january :D

Also a new season of Hajime no Ippo, one of my fave animes!

Here is the link! (http://i34.tinypic.com/2q1yud2.jpg)

[linkman8]

Awesome, lots of new stuff coming out. That Asu no Yoichi looks pretty good, I may look into that one in the future.
So now that you're watching Azumanga Daioh, does that mean you finished Lucky Star?

[Hylian Hobbit]

I started watching Death Note recently. It's different from most of the anime I've seen so far, but that's one of the reasons I like it.

[Mike Pothier]

I used to be really, really into anime, but stopped around the time I stopped watching Toonami.

I still have my Cowboy Bebop DVDs though.

[Axle the Beast]

I'm generally a really big fan of anime. As for what kinds, I generally prefer Shonen anime, and generally ones with science fiction or fantasy aspects. I also prefer anime with no fanservice, or at least minimal fanservice.

I currently watch: Naruto, Bleach, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Scrapped Princess.

My favorites of all time are: Fullmetal Alchemist, ScRYed, Noein: To Your Other Self, Samurai 7, as well as Naruto, Bleach and One Piece.

Other ones I've seen and liked (I'm missing several, I can't think of them all) are: Blood +, Yu Yu Hakusho, Arjuna, Argento Soma, Shingu, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Trigun, Blue Gender, Kenshin, Shaman King, Getbackers, Digimon: Digital Monsters, Death Note... and others.

I also loved Teen Titans and Avatar: The Last Airbender, even though they were "American anime."

[kpllk]

You call that long, check out my list!

NOTE: * = ongoing or a second season to come.



Just finished watching: Gilgamesh

Currently watching: Monster

Planning to watch: There are some ongoing second seasons, so i'm waiting until there are more eps. Will list those in the future.


I haven't even heard of most of those. That is a HHHHUUUUUUGGGGGGEEEEEEEE list.

[Axle the Beast]

Technically Avatar is American with some Chinese. I actually watched that back when it was on too, and I was thinking, "There is not a lot of Japanese culture in this, it's more Chinese".
Has anyone else noticed that, or am I mistaken?
It combines a lot of Asian and Oriental cultural styles. I believe all the writing is Chinese.

There are elements of Tibetan monks, Chinese culture, Japanese Culture, Indian culture, and other stuff in Avatar.

The Earth Kingdom is mostly Chinese in design, I believe, while the Fire Nation is mostly Japanese.

(By the way, anime is Japanese animation, not Chinese. I consider Avatar an "American anime," because it has so many aspects in common with anime. I still consider it one even though it's American.)

[Moosh_is_cool]

OMG I just started watching the Ultra Maniac anime! It's almost as good as the manga! Unfortunately, it doesn't air in America. Fortunately, it's on YouTube! I love the theme song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33_ybaD0ems

[Onilink89]

Oh yes i remember this one.

But Moo Moo, youtube will often delete this anime episodes regarding the copyright when its licenced. they are really strict about this. also most of the time its split in parts.
Now normaly its against the rules to advertise other sites, but for this time, i guess it can 't harm.

Normaly i use Veoh (www.veoh.com), there are lot of people who upload it there and its not split in parts. And its quality is really good and free.

There are more sites like this, for instance:
Megavideo (problem is, not 2 long ago, after wathing like 72 minutes, you have to wait a hour to watch again for free)
Imeem (great quality but it takes a while to load)
Crunchyroll (you have to register for this, but after licenced videos are removed)

There are all also a bunch of Anime sites who upload entrire series (they link Veoh vids, Megavideo Vids ect.)
Even if a anime is licenced, they alter the title so people can 't find it, so thats a good thing.

The site i use often is www.zomganime.com.
Here they update every day if a new ungoing anime episode is up and there is a whole archive of anime series (see anime series list)

so for the people who are new to this, well hope this helps.

[linkman8]

I usually just use Veoh as well unless they don't have what I'm looking for, in that case I'd go to Youtube or something. I'd prefer Veoh though, because like you said, it's free and has full-length, high quality videos.

[LoZfan]

I like Naruto..... it's not every day you get to watch a fantasy base Ninja show and get to see everybdy kick every1's ***

[mewtwolord]

naruto is my favorite anime believe die shadow clone jutsu go one side use rasengan the others use chidori go KABOOM *explosion*FATALITY

[Onilink89]

Yeah i also watch Naruto and Bleach every week when a new ep is up. but when there is too many fillers, it gets boring.
anyway, its about time that some ungoing anime is going to end and new ones will come

finished watching:
Azumanga Daioh
Murder Princess
Scrapped Princess
Weiss Kreuz
Weiss Kreuz Gluhen
Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor
Chaos;HEAd
Kannagi
Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka
Vampire Knight Guilty (second season)
Rosario + Vampire Capu2 (second season)
Nodame Cantabile Pari-Hen (second season)

[Judai]

Yes who watches anime?
What kinda anime do you like?
Which anime have you watched or are you currently watching?

In order:

I do.

Pokemon or Yu-gi-oh! :/

Yu-gi-oh! 5Ds

I don't watch a lot of things. I read or surf on the internet.

[linkman8]

I finished Zero no Tsukaima: Princess no Rondo, and now (because my friend recommended it) I'm watching Elfen Lied. I'm also trying to find the Lucky Star OVA.

[Onilink89]

Here is a link to Lucky Star OVA (http://www.megavideo.com/?v=OVTRU8MX)

Oh! and the final OVA of Zero no Tsukaima is out but its still raw.
So i will let you know when its subbed.

[Dragonking]

Go BLEACH and HAJIME NO IPPO!!!!!!!!
gr8 gr8, second season of Ippo :D

Also I'm really curious about this horroranime but can't find it.
Does anyone know where I can check Higurashi(and the second season)?
I freakin hate licensed b****-a** nonsense.

[linkman8]

Here is a link to Lucky Star OVA (http://www.megavideo.com/?v=OVTRU8MX)

Oh! and the final OVA of Zero no Tsukaima is out but its still raw.
So i will let you know when its subbed.
Awesome, thanks again.

Dragonking, I'd look on Veoh.com, but so far I've had a hard time finding a specific episode on there that isn't in Italian. XD

[Axle the Beast]

I just started watching Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, and it's fairly good so far.

It's like the Super Smash Bros. of CLAMP, though, what with all the characters from other CLAMP anime. XD

[Dragonking]

Yeah first episode Hajime no Ippo second season :p
I'm gonna check it out about a month or 2 later.

[linkman8]

I just started watching Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, and it's fairly good so far.

I heard the Tsubasa Chronicles were pretty good. Apparently they've got a lot of fans; I may have to look into that one some day.

Let's see...
I finished Zero No Tsukaima (finally) + OVA
Finished Elfen Lied (Very dark show)

[LinkOwnsYou]

BLEACH RULZ!!! I used to watch Naruto but it got boring and crappy after the episode100, seriously that thing has no end!!!

[Onilink89]

Yeah first episode Hajime no Ippo second season :p
I'm gonna check it out about a month or 2 later.

Yeah i also saw that. (Megaton Punch)
But apparently has this season only 12 or 13 episodes :(

I finished wathing Fire Emblem OAV.
it has only 2 episodes but since i'm playing Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon for the DS, i kinda wanted to know the storyline better of marth

[Axle the Beast]

I would like to say that if anyone here hasn't seen Scrapped Princess, they really should. At first it looks like another medieval fantasy anime, but there's a LOT more to it, and it gets really intriguing pretty quickly.

It also has a much deeper story than it seems like at first. I've almost finished watching it, and it's one of my favorite anime of all time now!

It also has a much deeper story than it seems like at first. I've almost finished watching it, and it's one of my favorite anime of all time now!

UUUhm... isn 't that the one that this princess would bring doom to the world of some kind of prophecy?

Yeah i saw that one, weird twist is that its medival but also a little sci-fi.
I liked that one, but its not a fave title on my list :D

Also finished watching Hyakko.
Currently watching Tower of Druaga 1st season (apperently there is a ongoing 2nd season)

[Onilink89]

Yes there are more medieval or medieval/fantasy animes. In fact there is alot
My 2 Favorites in that genre would be Claymore and Beserker(a old anime).
So if you like the Genre, i really reccomenf these 2 titles. But still Claymore is really good.
It has 26 eps, i really wished they would have made a second season of it.

Berserk, the one with Gatz right? I'll pass... :xd:

I've heard enough about it from my siblings who've seen it... not too interested. I'll check out Claymore, though.

[Crystallion]

Anime is the one reason I don't watch cartoons anymore, much more detailed art and better animation, also, more plot (please don't take offense if you do watch it, I still love Simpsons and Family Guy, and maybe others too xD) The other being that I grew out of it.

But I love anime, especially magic girl and fantasy. My favorite one is Sailor Moon, I even like the English dub (zomg!). :-D

[Ando]

Yum yum, anime.
Has anyone been watching Shikabane Hime? Funimation's been uploading it to Hulu, and it's good stuff. The first few episodes you're just like, "well, okay, this is good enough I guess", but then episode five or so rolls in and you're like "WHAAAAT must watch next episode". Funimation's releasing episode 13 on Friday, and then they'll presumably begin work on bringing over season 2. *fingers crossed*

Beyond that, I've been watching Gintama on (the new and improved ALL LEGAL) Crunchyroll. That's actually a pretty hilarious show, assuming you forget about that ninja chick who can just fall off a cliff and die for all I care. And Gin's voice is so amazing.

Shikabane Hime huh? I googled it and it looks good, i will watch it later.
Aparrently, the second season is already ungoing. Ep 1 is subbed and Ep2 is still raw.

And Gintama, well i watched it a little, but after a while it became quite boring to me. So i stopped watching that. Humor is fun, but well Gintama isn 't quite my style of humor i guess.

[Zelda Freak]

Yes who watches anime? I do
What kinda anime do you like? A slice of life, romantic
Which anime have you watched or are you currently watching? Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star.

[linkman8]

Yeah, those two are great. I need to finish Haruhi Suzumiya though. I finished Lucky Star a while back; classic. :)

[lonely_moon]

Yeah, Lucky Star is pretty awesome (just check out my avatar). I really like the opening theme and the show is hilarious, if a little weird at times.

I watched a lot of anime when I was younger, but now, not so much. Besides Pokemon (which everyone has seen), I have tuned into Digimon, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Cardcaptors, Zoids Chaotic Century, Sonic X, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Of course, these were all dubs.

I've also been watching Zoids again occasionally. It's not bad, especially now that I'm old enough to understand it properly.

[Killswitch]

Yes who watches anime?

Discuss these kinda things here. :D

I've watched DBZ, Inuyasha, and some other crappy animes. The be honest, anime sucks. DBZ and some of Inuyasha are the only two I've liked. People have suggested others before and I've tried watching them on YouTube, but I just can't get past the crap within. I will stick to good ole, mind rotting, violent American cartoons.

FYI - Spongebob > Anime

[Typhingblade]

The anime i am currently watching is...
Death note
Naruto
Naruto Shippuden
Inuyasha (Repeats)

i'm also reading the naruto shippuden manga...:)

To be honest, some of the really old cartoons had animation superior to any modern animation, including anime.

Especially Disney, but not only them.

[Killswitch]

I agree. Some scenes in cartoons like Ren and Stimpy and Sponge Bob have many times more detail than anime does, for example in the close up still scenes.

I still find cartoons more interesting and entertaining than anime, only because they don't follow a set boring storyline; you get a variety of plots.

Well that sounds more like a generalization. Not all anime is alike. It's like regular TV, there's lots of different kinds of shows, so I'm positive that if you wanted many different plots (or even a very loose plot) you could find it in certain shows.

So, i just finished Kaiji
Damn this is quite a rare genre.

Currently watching Moribito.
A historical-fictional anime, i love these kinda genres.

[linkman8]

I finished the OVA for Lucky Star a while back, thought I'd mention that. :)
I'm thinking about starting Toradora next. It's got Rie Kugimiya (seiyuu) in it as the main female lead, and she's always a good voice actor, so I thought about watching all of her shows, then watching all of Satoshi Hino's shows.

Yes i was also planning to watch that one later.
But i have to wait for that a little, because it an ongoing anime.
It has currently 17 episodes out of 25 episodes.

[Amelie]

I saw the first episode of this show today. I didnt understand it at first but my english is getting really good so I understood what they were saying.

The story is different but I kind of liked it. Ed is funny and I love the anime art. I did notice the mouths dont always go with what the characters are saying but I think it makes kind of different in a good way.

So what does everyone else think? What is your favorite episodes. Is there really good episodes I should see?

[Skull_Kid]

The show is a filler, but it is the best filler ever, and yes, ED is awesome:)
I like it, but i don't always see it, cause it is aired at the 9 in the morning and repeats at dinner time

[linkman8]

Oh, OK. I'll probably wait too, then. I don't like to watch something half way through. :)
I've also thought about watching Rozen Maiden. I don't know if it's good or not; have you ever watched it, Oni?

[Amelie]

The begining of the first episode creeped me out... but... Im actually waiting to see what happens next. I never thought I would really like Anime.. but.. I love the art!

I wonder how much time it takes for people to make all of that? The characters are soo cute how there eyes close when they talk sometimes. Like the pregnant lady in TP ^^

[Axle the Beast]

Fullmetal Alchemist is my favorite anime of all time. And yes, the storyline is actually completely different than the one in the manga, but it's still amazing.

I recommend seeing the whole series, actually. But as for my favorites, I'd recommend the assault on Lab 5, as well as the whole arc used in the last episodes. It's somewhere between six and twelve episodes, I think.

[Axle the Beast]

I agree with you linkman8.

So, i just finished Kaiji
Damn this is quite a rare genre.

Currently watching Moribito.
A historical-fictional anime, i love these kinda genres.
I caught a few episodes of Moribito. I loved it as well. I'm hoping to see the rest soon...

[Kitsu]

Not the best anime in my opinion, nonetheless, pretty good. I liked the manga much better, but I still liked it for the interesting, and entertaining storyline. I also like the sense of humor that it contained.

Moreover, I thought it was "deeper", or at least more involved, than some other animes I've seen. I think it the beginning is a bit 'eh', but becomes much better, 'evolves', if you will, later on. I liked the character development, too.

[Onilink89]

Oh, OK. I'll probably wait too, then. I don't like to watch something half way through. :)
I've also thought about watching Rozen Maiden. I don't know if it's good or not; have you ever watched it, Oni?
Well yeah i have read it at wiki (always check info about it before watching)
But the episodes are hard to find. :kawaii:


I caught a few episodes of Moribito. I loved it as well. I'm hoping to see the rest soon...

Yes its a really great anime, i never expected it that it had a good storyline.
But all the episodes are already out.

[Amelie]

I have been watching some of Full Metal Alchemist and its really the first anime I have really watched

I like it lots. The art is interesting and Im started to understand it the more I watch of it ^^

[Onilink89]

We already have a anime thread
Threads merged.

If we allow a thread of every single anime you can name, we need a new section.

havn't posted here for a while, finished watching:
Cromartie High School
Legend of Basara
Flame of Recca
Shura no Toki
Mermaid Forest
Shonen Onmyouji <---Awsome!
Mokke
Tales of Agriculture

Currently watching:
Allison & Lillia

Ow yeah for all of you Full Metal Alchemist fans, i saw an article somewhere that they going to fully animate the manga of FMA. So there is going to be a new animation of FMA.
I don't know if its a sequel or something but its called, Fullmetal Alchemist (TV 2)
And this one will have 51 episodes.

[FalseDestiny]

I watch Naruto, Bleach, Death Note (really hated the last episode though), Samurai Deeper Kyo, Gundam (Gundam Wing was my favorite so far), Tenchi Muyo, Tenjho Tenge, Tokko (really awesome), Elfen Lied, Evangelion, Outlaw Star (also a favorite), Dragonball series (didn't care for GT and liked Z best), Speed Grapher, Basilisk, Inyuasha, Gokusen (only a few episodes and found it to be extremely boring), Sayuki Reload, Vandread, Mirage of the Blaze (it was fair), Desert Punk, Black Lagoon, Hellsing (I am liking Ultimate even better), Fullmetal Alchemist, Gunslinger Girl, Ergo Proxy, FLCL, Blood +, Ghost in the Shell ( SAC as well), Virus Buster Surge, Noein, Gurren Lagann, Yu-gi-Oh, Cowboy Bebop, Wichblade (also in my favorites), Samuri 7, Wolf's Rain (another favorite), Blood Trinity, Street Fighter II (it was never finished which disappointed me but it was fairly good), Hell girl, and possibly some other ones that I cannot remember the name of right now.

The new FMA is supposed to go more like the manga of so I have heard

[El Bagu]

Anime is not my coup of Tea at all! But what would you expect? I am a bit old for it. I am glad you enjoy it anyway, guess it is some kind of art.

[linkman8]

I am a bit old for it.
Ah nonsense; you're never too old for anime. :) Ok, maybe sometimes, but I doubt you're that old.

Ok, so as an update, I've recently watched:
Part of Nagasarete Airantou.
Part of D.Gray-Man.

[FalseDestiny]

I definitely agree with linkman8
age shouldn't be a factor in if you like anime or not

[Vincent]

Hmm... I don't know where you all stand on the whole dubbed verses subbed thing (with the exception of you, Oni), but I like both. I like subtitles just fine, and I appreciate the original material, but at the same time, I like to focus more on what's going on, and be able to comprehend what is being heard in my own language. With that said, I am currently watching the dub of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2. It's absolutely amazing. One of the best, if not the best, anime's I've ever had the pleasure of watching. If any of you anime fans here haven't seen Code Geass, I suggest you pick it up right away.

It depends if the subs suit with the characters.
For instance, the subs for Gundam Wing and Dragonball Z are well made.
In fact i do not like the original voices of Dragonball Z.

But most of the time i watched subbed. Its not that i'm tottaly against dub, but most of the time the dub sucks. At least that is my opinion.

[Vincent]

but most of the time the dub sucks.

That is the case with a lot of dubs. But as of late, they're getting better and better at it, and they're actually really good quality dubs now.

Code Geass
Bleach
Fullmetal Alchemist
Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit

All very well done dubs, for example. The problem that with dubs, that I've noticed, is that a lot of the voices sound forced. Almost like they're trying way too hard to sound like the original VA. But when they don't do that, the voices are superb.

[linkman8]

Hmm... I don't know where you all stand on the whole dubbed verses subbed thing...
I love subbed, and rarely (if ever) will I watch dub if given the choice.
And yeah, those ones you listed have good dubs because they're on American TV. (except the last one, I think). Anything that's not on American TV almost always has horrid dubs.

[FalseDestiny]

I myself like the subbed versions best and only rarely watch the dubbed versions. Yet there are times that I have noticed that the dubbed uses the wrong wording and the subbed is a lot better ( but only rarely) Otherwise I am okay with either subbed or dubbed

[Hylian Hobbit]

For a while, I would only watch anime with english dubs. I didn't care what it was, or how good the voice acting was, it just had to be dubbed. But after sucking it up and watching a lot of Bleach, which I've been unable to find dubbed versions, I've come to appreciate the originals a lot more. Now I almost prefer the Japanese versions. With some exceptions of course.

Like last night I was watching Bleach on Veoh, and came across an episode that was in english. But it didn't seem very natural, and like they were trying too hard. The voices in themselves were good, and fit the characters well, but again, it didn't sound very natural. Though it may be because I suddenly switched from one language to the other that made it sound weird. It is hard to get used to a voice when it drastically changes out of the blue.

[Yumil]

On the topic of dub/sub, when I watch anime I usually have the dub playing. I'm not so picky with voice acting and translations as some people are, but the primary reason for me watching in English is simply because I'm normally doing other things while I watch. I can't surf the Internet, or work on websites, or do anything really if I'm watching it in Japanese. In Japanese, I have to focus on the show and read the subtitles and sometimes I do. But with only a few hours a day of free time after work, I tend to go for the English and play it in picture-in-picture while I chat and surf or whatever.

As for what I enjoy, lately I've been watching Gurren Lagann. I also bought a slimpack of DNAngel a while back and finished watching that a week ago. Other favorites of mine are Neon Genesis Evangelion, MyHiME, Genshiken, Kodocha, and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. :)

[Midna666]

When I watch anime I watch it dubbed.
I can't stand to watch anime subbed.

[Vincent]

A few months back I started watching Bleach subbed. I've noticed that the voice work is better than what Viz is producing. Don't get me wrong, they do good work, but it seems a little out of place. Maybe that's just because the dub is in the is so horrible Bount Arc right now. Seems to me like they don't work as hard on filler... Some voices in the dub, I like better actually. Like Kenpachi, and Byakuya. Their dub voices seem to fit more with the characters. Others though, aren't that great. Like Ririn and Yachiru for example. Hmm... I don't know. I guess when it really comes down to it, I like them both equally.

[FalseDestiny]

I agree that there are some english dub voices that are better but I still try to stick with the subbed preferably. I just don't like how far behind the US is on the anime. But that is just something I have to deal with.

[Onilink89]

i forgot to tell one thing about this subbed/dubbed thing.
1 factor that also plays is, that if you are used to subs/dubs.

For instance, till now i have only watched bleach subbed, if i would switch to dub, somehow it feels weird.

[FalseDestiny]

I know what you talking about because I have watched a few shows subbed then switched to the dubbed. Mainly I was annoyed because Naruto never said "Believe it" in the subbed yet that is what they put for the dubbed. I got really annoyed.

[Vincent]

They did that because they needed something to fit the mouth movements for.... dattebayo... was it? I don't know, I don't like Naruto all that much.

[FalseDestiny]

But still it was annoying. I would of preferred leaving it the same instead of replacing it with a stupid catch phrase.

[loki212]

I like to watch it both ways... if there is no dub thats fine, if the sub sucks ill watch it in english....Cowboy bebop comes to mind good english dub bad japanese dub...

I recently just watched the Tales of Symphonia Ova and I have to say that the Jap dub was very good. but the subs were bad...random L's replacing I's.... ALso most Gundam Eng dubs are better than the Japanese I've noticed.

[Axle the Beast]

Recently I've been watching a few new series...

Black Cat, xxxHolic, and Gurren Lagann.

They all rock, IMO. Especially Gurren Lagann.

[Hylian Hobbit]

I recently started watching random anime that I could find. I've been pretty bored lately. I started: Inuyasha, Chrome Shelled Regions, and Soul Eater. Inuyasha is better than I thought it'd be, CSR ain't too bad, and I can't really get into Soul Eater. It's too weird, crazy, and perverse for my tastes. Strangest anime I've ever seen.

[linkman8]

Lately I've been watching Death Note (subbed, of course. :) ). I usually don't watch mainstream, but DN is probably the best mainstream I've seen. I'm about half-way through.

[Axle the Beast]

Death Note is awesome. I have a few issues with it, but other than that, I find it a very good series.

Oh really? I had been a little interested in Soul Eater before, but I didn't know much about it. Now I'm not so sure I want to see it.

[Kazumi]

Wow, I thought I posted here.

OK, I also like to stay away from mainstream, but it's really personally opinion on what's mainstream or what's not. Anyway, I always watch my anime Sub, I really hate Dubbed. It just doesn't feel originally, and I know Moosh and I really like Sub. I listen to English enough already, so it's nice to here another language. And some anime, like Sailor Moon, the Dubbed version is quite different from the originally.

Anyway the Sub-Dub fight could go on for forever, so... My favourite anime of all time is Lucky Star, I also watch the Kirby anime and Sailor Moon. I also watch Bleach and Naruto from time to time, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan of them. I know that Moosh really likes Kirby also, so it's cool to talk about it with her.

[Hylian Hobbit]

Yeah, I was kinda the same way before I watched it. I had heard a lot of good stuff about it, so I figured I'd give it a try. But I stopped after the first episode. It just didn't seem worth it.

[linkman8]

My favourite anime of all time is Lucky Star
Yes! Another Lucky Star fan. Our numbers are spreading. >=D
It would seem that I have sort of ranged tastes sometimes. I mean, I like shows like Death Note, where it's a bit serious and has a high level of intelligence and deductive reasoning in it, and then I can enjoy random shows like Lucky Star, which are much more upbeat. Anyone else notice that about themselves?

Alright, cool. I'll have to check it out sometime in the near future.
Oh, and you saw Mahoraba also? I watched that sometime early last year I think. It was a nice break from all the depressing shows I've seen. I quite liked Mahoraba to be honest.

[Onilink89]

You know, as i read back the titles you watched, you have a taste for particular genres havn't you?
My guess would be: Comedy, School Life, Slice of Life, Drama, Romance and sometimes Action.

For me, well i watch all kinda genres but my fave genres is the one i mentioned before.
But the genres i avoid are Yaoi and Yuri. -.- i guess some people like to watch that stuff, for me...no way!

[Megamannt125]

Death Note
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Lucky Star
Dragonball

Ha, I guess it would seem I do have a certain genre, huh? You pretty much hit the nail right on the head. I do tend to like the average schooldays, romance, and drama stuff. I also like fantasy though. You see, I like action as much as other people do, just not a whole lot of it.
I think you'll watch pretty much anything. You're pretty open-minded towards anime, I think. And I agree with you on your last point. NO Yuri/Yaoi. :)
And as a report, I started Toradora, and I'm on like episode 9 now. Great show, it's pretty funny.

[Onilink89]

Well, my first choice of genres would be the same as you. But i watched a lot of anime with those genres, so watching them in a row can become boring. Thats why i also try watching other genres.

Basicly, i google (redirected to either animesnetwork or wikipedia)
the title first before it watch them first. So that i can have an idea if its a title of worth watching.

[linkman8]

That makes sense. When I want to watch a new show, sometimes I look up a specific seiyuu (that is, if I really liked that person) and whatever show they've done, I watch. Note that's not always the way I watch anime, but that's what I do once in a while.
Other times I search by genre, or I go to sites like animeplanet and look at my favorite anime, and then it'll tell me what shows I might like that are similar.

[Onilink89]

Oh, i have found out something interesting.
Its seems that they are updating/remaking the Dragonball Z series titled Dragonball Kai.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-02-19/japan-remastered-dbz-to-be-called-dragon-ball-kai

The first subbed episode is already released.
But sadly, this is the only anime i prefer dubbed. The voices in japanese are horrible in this anime.

[Vincent]

Has anyone seen the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood yet? Man, one episode, and it's already exciting. Though it looks like they'll be doing a bit of a backstory in the next episode, and so on.

[FalseDestiny]

I saw it today and it was awesome. I can't wait for the next episode to come out. This FMA should be just as great as the original.

[zeldafreak]

All of the anime I've watched:

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, huh? That's a mouthful. :)
But thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely watch it. You've never steered me wrong before.
And I can't say I really have an update right now, considering I'm probably the slowest anime watcher you'll ever witness, but I'm on like episode 18 of Toradora!.

[Hylian Hobbit]

I finished Utawarerumono. And I'm almost done with Inuyasha.

And I just started watching:
Code Geass
Afro Samurai
Hajiame no Ippo
Lucky Star
Devil May Cry

I also watched the first episode of Dragon Ball Kai, but it was no different from the original. Except for the fact the japanese dub was terrible. So I probably won't spend any time watching the rest of it. I know it's supposed to be different, and that it's going to follow the original manga more closely, but still. I never really cared for the DBZ series anyhoo.

I also picked One Piece, Bleach, and Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo back up.

[Guardian]

I watch Naruto and Bleach. I also read the manga for both of them. They are really good animes in my opinion. And if anyone is a first timer to anime i recommend them to watch any of the two listed.

I checked out Utawarerumono and its a really cool anime. I just finished it. Including the extra 4 episodes.
I really liked the stroyline and sense of humor of this one.

[Smitie]

sheesz oni, you have a lot of spare time to check all those animes.

Don't laugh, but I started watching Yu-gi-oh season 1 in english and I've never heard such bad voice acting (seriously, even the dutch version is a lot better -.-), but I enjoyed it so far

No, that's not laughable, I used to watch Yugioh as well. It used to be a really great show (Like when it wasn't Yugioh GX and whatnot). However, us in America don't have much of a choice when it comes to voice-overs, so we had English all the time. The only voice that was pretty good was adult Yugi, imo.

As a report, I finished Toradora!. Good show, all in all.
So now soon I'll be starting the show Oni pointed out. :)

Lol, well if i come across with a good one, then i will sure post it here and reccomend it to ya. But you also do the same for me ok?

for instance, Hylian hobbit said that he watched Utawarerumono.
I never heard of the title, so i googled it and watched it. So yes, sharing titles you watched is the main purpose of this thread :P

Of course, of course. However, I don't watch as many as you do, but even so, I'll still keep an eye out.
I know you've seen Fate/Stay Night, but have you seen Shakugan no Shana? I can't remember. If you haven't, then I'd definitely recommend it, along with Shakugan no Shana-tan as well. Shana-tan is pretty funny, even if they are short.

[JAPPO]

I enjoy Bleach, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Inuyasha, Akira, Death Note and a few others.

[DisappearingMist]

I recently watched an anime movie called Origin: Spirits of the Past. It was pretty intriguing. I had to re watch the beginning to understand what was happening, though!

[Axle the Beast]

I used to love Yu-Gi-Oh!, although I lost interest at some point. Yu-Gi-Oh GX was okay, but I never really watched much of it.

The new series looks like crap, though. They duel on motorcycles now. >.<

Anyway... yeah, the acting as well as some of the dialogue can be kind of bad, but it's fairly entertaining. I might recommend looking up "Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series" on Youtube. I never watched too much of it, but what I did watch was pretty amusing. :xd:

[Shadsie]

So much anime, so little time.

A smattering of my favorites, by genre:

Space Western:

TRIGUN (Longtime favorite, I'm somewhat "known" in what's left of the internet fandom).

Cowboy Bebop

Gun x Sword


Fantasy:

Haibane Renmei (if you haven't heard of it and don't mind something that's all introspection with no action, check this out. It is one of THE most beautiful pieces of fiction I have EVER experienced).

The Tweleve Kingdoms

Fullmetal Alchemist

[FalseDestiny]

I found out not to long ago that Akira is going to be made into a live action movie and so is Neon Genesis Evangelion. By the looks of Evangelion that one is going to be good. As for Akira all I have seen on it is the motorcycle which looks exacly like it did in the anime. And after Akira the same group is going to make a live action of Ninja Scroll.

[linkman8]

You've gotta be careful with live action movies sometimes though. I usually take them with a grain of salt, or so to speak. They've been good in the past, like for example the Death Note live action films were decent; but there have also been some pretty poor ones. Look at the newest one: Dragonball Evolutions or whatever it's called. Biggest flop in DB history.

[FalseDestiny]

I understand that but these ones actually look like they are sticking to the original storylines. But I agree about the Dragonball Evolutions movie. Also has anyone watched the new Dragonball Kai. It seems to be more in-depth and that it is supposed to be more like the manga of Dragonball Z.
And I have been watching a new anime called 07 Ghost.

I started watching the first few episodes of DB Kai. As you said, I believe it is supposed to follow the manga more closely, but I haven't noticed any changes yet. And it's a pain listening to Goku and the others when they sound like girls (Granted, not all of the voices are bad, but Goku is terrible). >_>
So for now, I'm just going to wait a while before I watch any more.

[Spreeze]

All time favorite anime that I've seen: Yu Yu Hakusho.
It's just.... epic.
I also like DBZ and Dragonball.
Pokemon is okay... but only the season's when there is 150 pokemon. After that it just gets annoying.

[Axle the Beast]

Sounds interesting... although I must confess I actually dislike (or in the case of Ninja Scroll, borderline hate) all three of those anime. >.<

The only thing I really like about Evangelion is the Eva Mechs and the Angels. Especially the Angels.

I agree that the Dragonball movie looks like crap... but I wouldn't dismiss how crappy some of the animated movies were... I saw one that was just the single most boring thing I have ever watched... -.-

I'm interested in seeing the Death Note live action films, though.



Anyway... I also heard they were making a Robotech live action movie. Not in Japan, in America. If it were Japan it would probably be a Macross movie, not Robotech (Macross was the Japanese version. For the American version, Robotech, they completely changed the story.)

[linkman8]

Are they really making a robotech movie? Hm, that's interesting, I may watch that.
Anyway, since I've been busy lately with school, I haven't had any time, but just last night I started Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu as Oni recommended. So far, it's pretty good. :)

[Axle the Beast]

Are they really making a robotech movie? Hm, that's interesting, I may watch that.
Yeah. Last I heard of it, they confirmed that Toby Maguire was going to be in it.

[Onilink89]

finished watching:
Tsubasa Chronicle
Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations
Tsubasa: Shunraiki
XXXHOLiC
XxxHOLiC: Kei
xxxHOLiC: Shunmuki

What interesting about this is that the makers of (Clamp) made some kinda own universe of there animes. They are not completly related bust sorta crossovers in the storyline.
And i also read that "Cardcaptor Sakura" is also related to these animes.
I have been hearing positive reactions over Cardcaptor Sakura but i will watch that later.

[linkman8]

I heard Tsubasa was pretty good from a magazine I bought one time, though it doesn't really look like my thing. What do you think, Oni?

[Onilink89]

Well it is pretty long and the main theme is adventure and action.
I don't know sure if it suits your taste.

[linkman8]

Eh, it's kind of iffy. The animation style is OK to inadequate, the story seems fine, the theme checks out.... I dunno, maybe I'll look into it at some point in the future.

[Wolf]

Most of the time, I watch anime like Bleach, Naruto, and Wolf's Rain. And Avatar, if that even counts as an anime. Kinda like a strand between cartoon and anime, who knows *shurgs*

[Onilink89]

Oh! Big News, finally the second season of suzumiya Haruhi started :D

[linkman8]

Oh! Big News, finally the second season of suzumiya Haruhi started :D
I know! I literally just found it like three seconds ago on Anime News Network. I've reeealy got to watch the first season.

Right now, I'm into Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Gundam Seed.

Big flashy robots make me happy! xD

And lo and behold! Another Fate/Stay Night fan! Excellent. :P

And as a report, I started the first season of Haruhi Suzumiya.

[:.:Mikki:.:]

Well, I love Anime. =D

I read Negima.

I also watch Azumanga Daioh, Code Geass, Death Note, and InuYasha.

[linkman8]

I read Negima.
I envy you. I've wanted that manga for the longest time. :P
And then you've also seen Azumanga Daioh, which I still need to watch...

Oh, and I'm about half way through the first season of Haruhi Suzumiya, and I LOVE it.

[Onilink89]

Currently i'm watching some ongoing anime like, 07-ghost, pandora hearts, Asura cryin, K-ON.

And since i didn't posted for quite a while here.
Lemee update of what i watched after my last post here.

[Bob Majinki]

I tried watching K-On since there has been a huge Japanese craze over it (and thus a huge American craze over it by those who wish they were Japanese) and I honestly found it painful to watch. I had to force myself to sit down through two episodes and I even tried the third but I felt that my brain was going to melt. I felt the same way at first with Lucky Star as well, although that improved with me. I think it's just because they put too much moe and not even close to enough story in it. I just want to know from someone who watches that if it will continue on its little moe spree or if it actually will get into music bits and story, because if not I find it really sad that Japan got crazed over that.

[linkman8]

I actually stumbled upon K-ON one day when I was looking for episodes to Haruhi Suzumiya. I clicked one of the episodes by mistake, thinking it was the one I was looking for, (it was mislabeled. XD) and I ended up watching 2 minutes of an episode in the middle of K-ON. To be honest, though, it looked good. :)

Pretty good anime if you tell me.

[Zeruda]

Out of curiousity... have any of you ever seen the older anime, Record of Lodoss War? The artwork, while a much older style, is still quite beautiful. It was released in the early 90's, so yes, it's quite cheesy. Still it has an amazing story, beautiful designs, and wonderful characters. One of the main reasons I love it so much is because the main characters look like, guess..... ZELDA characters! Deedlit is very similar to Princess Zelda, Parn is much like the classic Link, and Emperor Beld looks (and acts) like Ganondorf. If you haven't seen it, I definitely suggest it!

That's interesting. No, I've never actually seen (or even heard) of that show before, but I'll have to look into it at some point.

[Immortal_One]

I think everyone likes Anime to some degree :)

I'm currently watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Gundam Seed. Cowboy Bebop is next on my list ^_^

[midnightokami]

I really like to watch Higurashi, deathnote, naruto and I use to watch bleach. Higurashi rocks!

[DisappearingMist]

I used to hate anime when I was quite a bit younger. I watched DBZ and Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network and I thought they were the dumbest shows ever. It took a friend to have me watch Spirited Away with her to actually see that anime actually had a storyline and was intriguing.

People that don't usually watch anime are usually of the opinion that all anime is the same. I would guess that was the same with you at some point, where you thought after seeing DBZ and Gundam Wing, that it was all lame. People tend to generalize with things they aren't exposed to. One of my friends is like that.

[Bob Majinki]

Well to be fair, most anime is the same (like most reality TV shows). It's just that Miyazaki is a genius.

[Zeruda]

Well to be fair, most anime is the same (like most reality TV shows). It's just that Miyazaki is a genius.
Watch more anime. Really, it's rare to find anime that is the same. Unlike the western world, Japan uses animation in EVERYTHING- comedy, romance, sci-fi, horror, mystery, etc. The west uses it mainly for the kids (and/or comedy) and shows more interest in CG and realism. Just as we have a buttload of different shows and movies for different genres, so does Japan... but they are more willing to put their artists to work instead of focusing mainly on hiring actors.

Miyazaki is a genius, but he's not the only one. Katsuhiro Otomo is another creative genius, as is Osamu Tezuka (whom you can thank for anime/manga).

I love that about anime. There is really something for everyone. And even if I don't care for the story line or genre of a show, I might still watch it just to see the incredible animation.

[EponaOwns]

I never really watched anime but this one show caught my eye. Higurashi. It is so violent but so entertaining. The way the characters are animated is really good. Not good at all for children of a young age!

Oh, don't worry, I'm an otaku who actually took time out of his life to learn some Japanese solely for the purpose of watching the stuff. XD

I've done a school report on the American tradition of animation and the conflict between Western styles and Eastern styles, and how both have influenced each other, so I do know a fair bit on the subject. I've practically grown up on the stuff. I remember Pokemon, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, Digimon, Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon Ball Z, etc. etc. the list of stuff I watched as a child is long. Of course nowadays I watch a very different set of anime than I did back in the day (since back then they either didn't exist or never got translated).

Right now I'm excited for the new season of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei to come out.

[Cyrus Skyray]

I was recently introduced into anime (well, 6 months ago) and have in that time completed:

Naruto (and Shippuden)
Bleach
FMA
FMA Brotherhood
Code Geass
Zero no Tsukaima
Shakugan no Shana
Tactics

I'm also in the middle of watching Ranma 1/2.

[Chrono]

The only anime I found worth watching was Dragon Ball and Inuyasha. Naurto = fail. I tried watching Death Note, was cool at first but became quite emo.

[Cyrus Skyray]

Explain how Naruto = fail, I mean I thought it was pretty good.

[Skull_Kid]

Naruto is very crappy, imo, but let's not get into that..

I've been watching Death Note, Iateteki Ja-Pan, Gurren Lagan and Devil May Cry...

[shadowlink626]

i think the only anime i've watched was dragon ball. but that show was awesome!
once i saw raditz take away gohan i was hooked lol

[Bob Majinki]

I recently finished Ga Rei Zero. I recommend seeing it, but only if you are mature enough, since there is a LOT of blood (so much that it got censored... in Japan!) and the occasional nudity (some of it got censored, not all).

It also is a very nice break from the terrible second season of Haruhi; watch this show instead of that.

[linkman8]

It also is a very nice break from the terrible second season of Haruhi; watch this show instead of that.
Yeah, what's going on with the second season of Haruhi Suzumiya? I watched Haruhi Suzumiya's first season and loved it, and now I'm up to the 7th episode on the second season and I'm thinking, "They had better have something absolutely epic happen to save their skins."

[Cyrus Skyray]

I recently finished Elfen Lied (ridiculously violent), Blood + (was pretty good) and Fate / Stay Night, which was good, 'cept the ending was a bit dull.

[Hylian Hobbit]

Finished animes:
Inuyasha
Fullmetal Alchemist (I might have said that earlier, but I can't remember. =P)
Death Note
Chrome Shelled Regios
Tsubasa Chronicles
MAR/Marchen Awakens Romance
DBZ

I started watching:

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Valkyria Chronicles
Lucky Star (My second attempt)

I've also started watching Bleach, One Piece, Naruto Shippuden, and Zatch Bell again.

[linkman8]

Lucky Star (My second attempt)


Excellent. Another - , Wait, what do you mean second attempt?! :P

I've been watching the second season of Haruhi Suzumiya but it's hard when I have to wait for new episodes to be subbed. I'm thinking about watching like Rozen Maiden or something in my off time.

[RyanNope]

Hmm... I watch anime, I was quite the otaku at one time.
I Prefer Subbed Anime but, there are few series I like better Dubbed.

I think that My Absolute Favorite Series By A Very Long Shot and Of All Time or at least until I see one I like more... IS... Code Geass R1 and R2. Especially R2. I even named my Gamertag after R2.

My favorite Genres are Comedy, Action-Adventure, Drama, Science Fiction, and Mecha


The Series I watched most recently is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann which has to be my second favorite.
Genres are Mecha, Action, Adventure and Comedy-Drama

I give the Series a 9.5 out of ten. I only took the .5 off because of the extremely cheesy Mecha battles which aren't bad but seemingly impossible things happen during them which is what I didn't like. i.e. weapons appearing from no where etc.


A few other Animes I liked:
Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden (one of my favorites)
Bleach (one of my favorites)
OutLaw Star (my favorite older anime)
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note ( I only Liked the 1st half, I kinda lost track not long after. But the last few episodes were epic!)
Kanon
School Rumble (I liked season 2 the best)
(All) Full Metal Panic!
FullMetal Alchemist
Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi (seemed incomplete)
Clannad and Clannad AfterStory
Lucky Star (I liked the hilarious "Lucky Channel" bit at the end of each episode the most)
Samurai X
Etc. I couldn't name all the ones I liked even if I tried

I switched to Naruto and Bleach Manga because I got tired of filler.

Heh. I watched the first couple of episodes several months ago, and then went on a retreat for a week right after that. And by the time I started watching anime again, I was catching up on Bleach. =P So I'm getting back into it again.

Even though it's a really girly anime, I find the random conversations and such hilarious. Not to mention the Lucky Channel at the end. The show usually gives me a good laugh when I watch it. =P

[Axle the Beast]

Lately I've been watching:

Gurren Lagann
Ouran Highschool Host Club
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Bleach


I've almost finished both Gurren Lagann and Ouran. I've recently added them to my favorite list of alltime favorite anime. Gurren Lagann is just amazing. Funny, cool, action-packed, ridiculous, and dramatic. It's great, and I love the characters.

I almost hate it that I love Ouran. It's totally not what I normally watch (hell, I outright avoid most highschool anime... or even just real-world anime.) But it really reeled me in. It's crazy, hilarious, and the characters are great. The last couple of episodes have been especially good. I only have two more episodes to go, and it looks like they're going to be great as well. The dramatic, character development episodes have really surprised me, but they're just as great as the rest of the series.

FMA: Brotherhood is awesome. Just as good if not better than the first series, which I loved to death.

Bleach is still bad-***... although the recent filler episodes have been irritating. It was amazing just prior to them, though, so once it returns to the canon storyline, it ought to blow me away again. :D

[KrazyKyuubi]

I watch Inuyasha, Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, Pokemon, and pretty much anything else that has ever aired on cartoon network. I also watch various ones online.

[The Shadow]

i have finished Deathnote, FMA, FMP, cowboy bebop, ghost hunt, FFU, FLCL, Utawarerumono and alot of others, i am watching Naruto, bleach and a few others as well

[Medix]

My favourite is Death Note, but I've also saw: Nagasarete Airantou, Ga-Rei Zero, School Days, Elfen Lied, Chaos Head, Devil May Cry, Detective Conan, Lucky Star, Tales Of The Abyss, To Love-Ru, Ichigo Mashimaro and Rozen Maiden. Yes, I'm an otaku XD

I'm only watching the new episodes. I might watch it all again when they finish up... idk

----

I'm looking for a newer anime with at least one full season out to watch... suggestions?

Also who has seen the movie Toki o Kakeru Shojo (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time)?

[Cyrus Skyray]

I've just finished watching Claymore, which I thought was an awesome anime. Anyone else seen it?

To date I've seen:
Full Metal Alchemist & brotherhood (favorite anime so far)
Shakugan no Shana (1 & 2)
Zero no Tsukaima (All)
Naruto (+ shippuden)
Bleach
Blood +
Tactics (anyone heard of this?)
Ranma 1/2 (up to episode 120 something, but it was getting kinda boring)
Kaze no Stigma
Claymore
Fate / Stay Night
Fruits Basket
Code Geass (1 & 2)

I can't remember if I posted before, this is more of a self-conformation of the anime I've seen so I don't forget it.

Can anyone suggest an anime series for me to watch?

Gurren Lagann, its a damn good Action/Comedy/Drama series. Clannad, Kanon (newer version) and Air are all good dramas. School rumble is a good Comedy

[NarutoAngel221]

I have finished watching Saiunkoku Monogatari and I am going to watch Detective Conan again because I wasnt able to finished it yet so I do hope I can finished it now

[The Shadow]

Yes, exactly. Glad you understand. :)

So who else here is watching the second season of Haruhi Suzumiya? Or further, who here has seen my favorite show Shakugan no Shana?

yeah i've shakugan no shana, have you seen hetalia axis powers?

[linkman8]

yeah i've shakugan no shana, have you seen hetalia axis powers?
Cool, another Shakugan no Shana fan. No, I've never seen Hetalia Axis Powers. Is it good?

[The Shadow]

yeah it's pretty funny, but the episodes only last 5 minutes, the countries have been put as people and the one that annoys me is Italy, Japan is kool though

[Zarom]

I only watch:

The Simpsons
American Dad

...and other ones but don't know they're name in english...

I liked the series Pokemon a lot, but it's been a LOOOOOOOOOONG time that they have stop broadcasting it on my tv's channel.

[linkman8]

I only watch:

The Simpsons
American Dad

Those aren't anime, those are American adult cartoons.

Just a couple days ago I started watching the show Hayate the Combat Butler. Except, I might accidently have stumbled on the second season by accident. Doesn't matter I guess. I'm on like episode 4.

[The Shadow]

that is an awesome anime, and u guys (and girls) need to watch this

[Cyrus Skyray]

Ok, I recently finished Gurren Lagann, which is a great anime, although a bit "over the top" as it were (I mean seriously, drills, "Spiral Beings"). The concepts are interesting and sort of make sense though...

I also finished watching Law of Ueki, which was kinda interesting, but nothing special.

I half watched Rental Magica, which I guess is good but a little boring for me.

I've also finished watching the first series of Haruhi Suzumiya, which was good apart from the messed up chronological order of the episodes. I'm currently watching the second series, and quite frankly I can't see why they thought a "time loop" scenario would warrant what is effectively the repetition of the same episode over and over again. That is the cheapest way of episode making I've ever seen.

I loved the parallels they drew between such random items like that. It's really out there, but it makes sense.

It is terribly bland in middle of the series though, but it picks up and makes up for it all during the last few episodes.

[Bob Majinki]

I just finished Excel Saga last night after starting it two days ago, meaning I watched 26 episodes in two days. That's 10 on the first day and 16 on the second, in other words, 5 hours on day one and 8 hours on day two.

You can tell these days before school starts (tomorrow) I have nothing to do.

[Cyrus Skyray]

Oh yeah, just remembered, there's a person in Claymore called Zelda, which I found quite amusing at the time (mentioned in one of the later episodes).

[Atsuma]

Anime, yeah, I watched a few: Dragonball Z and Saint Seiya. My brother and I are addicted to Saint Seiya, it's a long series and one worth watching. If you don't know where to find the episodes, just go to youtube and search for Saint Seiya. I watch all episodes there when I want to watch through the pc, we have the collection though.

[Cyrus Skyray]

Finished watching D.Gray-Man, which is a pretty good anime, although I'm annoyed they didn't finish the plot properly (although fair play, they did make 103 episodes, which is more than most).

Hey, I started watching that show one time. It looked really good, but unfortunately I was just borrowing it from my friend for like a week or something so I didn't get to finish.

[TheHeroOfTime]

I just recently finsehed rewatching the entire Dragon Ball Z Series because it is my favorite anime. I like InuYasha as well but mainly Dragon Ball Z.

[Bob Majinki]

Finished Code Geass and Code Geass R2. Not as good as the hype said it was, sadly.

[Silver]

I've watched some good animes...One of them was a little girlish I guess! It was alright, but I still watched it. I also am a HUGE fan of Dragon Ball Z and a little bit of Death Note. I also love the original Pokemon!

[Werewolfy]

I love anime and manga! Death Note, One Piece, and +Anima are some examples of what I like. I used to like Naruto and Bleach, but I kinda grew out of them. They fail to keep me interested anymore. But One Piece, in my opinion, is the best manga ever made. Good story-line, good characters, and a lot of uniqueness. Death Note is also very cool. I watched the anime, but have yet to read the manga. +Anima is manga only, and the translations were discontinued, sadly enough. It's a good manga, and I hope some translators somewhere pick it up again. School Days also gets mention here. Worst anime I've ever seen. :X I only watched it because of all the references to it at another forum I went to, and I've regretted doing so ever since.

[Waker of winds]

I'm also a huge fan of Dragon Ball, a little of Death Note, and a Big-mega-huge
Fan of Full Metal Alchemist. I just loved it...the first moment I saw it...

I knew there were fans here at the forum, so I decided to give it a try.

So good...

I also watch Naruto. It's good too.

I'm currently watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

[linkman8]

School Days also gets mention here. Worst anime I've ever seen. :X I only watched it because of all the references to it at another forum I went to, and I've regretted doing so ever since.
Thank you! Glad that someone agrees with me. :D

Let's see, lately I've been watching the second season of Hayate the Combat Butler, which is pretty funny. Kind of ecchi, but that's alright in moderation.

[K4KING]

Let's see Animes I'm watching are

Naruto
Dragon Ball Z
Flame of Recca
Kiba
One Piece
Ghost Fighter
Pokemon(yes it's an Anime)
Hunter X Hunter
Devil May Cry
Ouran Host Club
Detective Conan

I like Animes with a Plot, an exciting, dramatic, or Hilarious Plot. I also like Anime's with some secretive Elements, you know something unexpected happened in a scene that makes the Anime more Exciting. I also like to read the Mangas of the animes because they have more detail.

[knowlee]

I watch some anime, although I'm more prone to reading the manga more nowadays. My favorites types of anime to watch are mainly those with the genres of fantasy and action/adventure. I've seen and watched many different kinds of anime, some of which were cancelled in the middle of its showing before I could see the rest of it. -.-

This is the list of anime that I seen and/or watched. Currently though, I'm not watching any anime.

Beyblade
Digimon
Escaflowne
Naruto
Cyborg 009
Mon Colle Knights
Dinozaurs
Monster Rancher
Shinzo
Medabots
Tokyo Mew Mew
Yu-gi-oh!

[Bob Majinki]

Well I finished watching most of the stuff I wanted to so I'm at a loss of what to see. So instead I thought about making the stuff, and will be applying for internships at certain anime studies very soon, hopefully to help them in their English department because MAN they could use it.

[RyanNope]

School days was horrible demented fail. I mean seriously wtf...

Avoid this show

[Begin Spoiler]

Watch at your own risk
Ending (just to show how messed up this crap is)

[End Spoiler]


On another note, I totally hated Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (Rumbling Hearts). It left me feeling depressed and empty.

[-JelloGoMoo-]

Yus, I watch anime.

I've watched: Loveless, Spiral, Azumanga Daioh, Pani Poni Dash, Rumbling Hearts, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Fruits Basket, MoonPhase, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Tactics, Noein, Tokko, Bleach, Code Geass, Naruto, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, InuYasha, Pokemon, Zatch Bell, Negima, YuGiOh, YuGiOh GT.... Yeah, lot of anime.

And~ I mostly like Comedy-ish anime. :clap:

[Bob Majinki]

Just finished a series called Welcome to the NHK. It was alright, but definitely could have been better. I would have directed it differently.

[Cyrus Skyray]

@RyanNope: Thanks for the warning. I saw the video........

Anyway, I was very happy to hear they were making a second series of Darker Than Black :D. Does anyone know if they're making another series of Claymore or D.Gray Man?

[linkman8]

Heh heh, I actually I edited that warning in there. Felt it necessary.

Anyway, I'm not sure if they're making another season of D.Gray Man, didn't the first season just recently end?

[Vincent]

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap. Is anyone current on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood? Like... up to episode 26? Well... fair warning to those of you that aren't. I just finished watching 26 and I'm pretty sure I had a few mini heart attacks. :blank:

[Cyrus Skyray]

Yes, just noticed you changed your avatar.

That episode was awesome!!!, especially the end.

Currently watching Hayate no gotoku, is very funny.
