favorite Anime?
 
I just got finished watching the last disk of FLCL, and all i have to say is that series is great.. I don't know if it beats Cowboy bebop for me, but it comes close.. Its amazing that such a wonderful series is only 6 episodes long.. Anyways, I'm looking for something to watch next, I guess you could say I'm one of thoes people who has seen just about everything "good" so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know!

Spinach_Indeed 07-26-2003 04:31 PM

Most definatly. Without Debate. "GTO". GRRANNDD TEEACHHER ONIIZUKAAAA

And Lain following in at a close Second Place
With Trigun marching in Third

Pellaz 07-26-2003 05:02 PM

I'd have to say Bebop for me, has everthing I love about anime in it.

sadistikdreams 07-26-2003 06:02 PM

Cowboy Bebop
Kikaider!!!
Digital Monsters
The Big O
...some others i dont remember.
OH! Watch "Metropolis" the anime.

3zos 07-26-2003 09:00 PM

Kikaider? what is that? also I have never heard of Digital monsters....

Kadath 07-26-2003 09:02 PM

FLCL? Bebop is a sentimental favorite, but I also enjoyed Trigun, the original Samurai X 4 episode serial, and some others. I wish we could get a sticky anime thread, but it would quickly get out of control.

numberfive 07-26-2003 09:05 PM

Samurai Deeper Kyo
Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Lain

mulletJeb 07-26-2003 10:11 PM

hah i read the title and was about to post FLCL as well... that show really is something, I love those gainax dudes...
at the risk of getting attacked for shoujo, Kare Kano is very good, and by the same studio that did FLCL so you know there's some experimental animation involved.. good show, id be careful about who i recommend it to, though. it's excellent for what it is.

Ganguro 07-26-2003 10:27 PM

Kare Kano is an excellent series.. anyone who doesnt like Bishoujo anime can go sit on a tack.
but yeah.. there are several anime threads here in fact i'm going to point you to some.

Oldie but a goodie- the first Project A-ko movie. It's the one that got me interested in anime, and it's still a personal favorite. Also, you should try to dig up Giant Robo- can't get it on DVD yet, but it's definitely a great series. I would suggest Mobile Suit Gundam, but I don't like that you can only get the TV series in the dubbed version.

ninety09 07-27-2003 05:53 AM

X. By far the best series I've ever seen.

After that there would be Trigun, Bebop, Evangelion and Lain

glytch 07-27-2003 08:19 AM

Pretty much just like everyone, I'm going to say Cowboy Bebop, and I don't even like anime that much (although I'd like to). I absolutely love that show.

Ganguro 07-27-2003 11:27 AM

Man i wish you guys would at least attempt to watch something other than what gets shown to you on T.V. Go to the web and research new series.. Get Bit Torrent and d/l fansubs. Hell even if you have to d/l them off KAzaa.. there are LOADS of better anime than what most of the western world is exposed to. Try to keep an open mind and watch a series at least 3 episodes before you write it off because it's not Trigun, or Gundam, or Beebop. Watch a full length feature like a Studio Ghibli movie, or Jin Roh. Watch some love story animes like KareKano, or Fruits Basket. Watch something screwball like Excel Saga, or Dragon Half. There are lots of resources out there.. you just have to keep an open mind and know where to look

I was watching this stuff way before it was on america tv, it just happens that its some of the best, which is the reason its gets picked up over here at all.

If you can find a copy of millennium actress, its an amazing movie.

Patlabor is a good serise, and the movies are good as well.

also, check out colorful sometime if you haven't, as its good for a laugh ;)

mulletJeb 07-27-2003 01:26 PM

ohhh man, by far, one of the funniest things ive seen, animated or not.. if you're a warm-blooded male, this will be excellent: Goldenboy
So good! I wont say any more, go watch it NOW.

bussman 07-27-2003 05:23 PM

Not really favorites, but gundam seed and naruto have me hooked at the moment.

tooka 07-27-2003 05:46 PM

i just got anime channel on demand
colorful is some weird shit!!!!!!!

3zos 07-27-2003 08:24 PM

haha, whoa, anime channel... that would be cool ;)

Hey now. Don't go hating. Some of us get lots of stuff off NetFlix, like Gasaraki, Generator Gawl, Crying Freeman(ugh!), Key:The Metal Idol, etc. Just because I don't list it as my favorite doesn't mean I haven't seen and enjoyed it. And I wouldn't attempt to hold up Ghibli as insider information given the extensive popularity of SA, and the fact that they pimped Castle in the Sky pretty heavily on the DVD release. So your advice is welcome, but your high horse doesn't fit in this here bar, friend.

tedrlord 07-27-2003 10:47 PM

If you haven't yet seen Read or Die, you're missing out. It's a really short mini-series (three episodes) but it's quite entertaining.

As for other anime, I'd recommend a lot of what other people are saying. Kare Kano is great, even if shoujo (girl) anime isn't your thing. Hell, Gainax did it, enough said.

GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) is a really funny series, too. If you like it, I recommend reading the manga, which is even better.

Love Hina is pretty entertaining for a harem-type anime. The animated series is really funny, but seems a little one-dimensional sometimes. The manga, on the other hand, is excellent. Easily my favorite in print.

Someone mentioned Goldenboy, which is also very funny. Though it can get pretty perverse sometimes, it's not a hentai. The really cool thing about it is that it has the same character designer as Cowboy Bebop, and one of the girls looks a hell of a lot like Faye. Oddly enough, despite the fact that it's obviously male-targeted, it's one of my girlfriend's favorite series.

I assume you've seen Evangelion. If you haven't, just go do it now. That's all I have to say.

Since you mentioned Cowboy Bebop, I'll also recommend Noir. It's along a similar vein, though not so sci-fi. It's about a pair of female assassins that mostly just kick ass while trying to figure out who they are and what brought them together. It's a fun show.

Serial Experiments: Lain is a very complex and strange anime. The shining example of the techno-spiritual "mindfuck" genre the Japanese seem to like.

Fruits Basket is a very shoujo series, but I thought it was pretty cute, and my girlfriend totally adores it.

On a related note, I know I'll sound strange for this, but Card Captor Sakura is quite good too. It somehow manages to be very sweet and cute and pleasant while still being interesting and well-made. It's a very large series, but I recommend watching at least a few episodes.

Other than that, I can't think of many more off the top of my head.

If you want to be all elitist about it, at least try to do it right. Christ, you can find most of those at the local video store. If you're using BitTorrent, look for Wolf's Rain, or Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex, or even Kodomo no Omocha. Stuff that you can't get here normally. There's a load of good stuff out there that hasn't been released in the states yet.

LHFire 07-28-2003 05:04 AM

Record of the Loddoss War
Ninja Scroll
Ghost in the Shell
and my personal favorite
Berserk.

zwik 07-28-2003 05:24 AM

Lots of good ones here. Personal favorite though is:

Kimagure Orange Road. An oldie but a goodie.

Ganguro 07-28-2003 07:06 AM

elitist? perhaps.. passionate about what i watch.. yes.
so forgive me if it comes off that way.. but also if I cant voice my opinion without being called names then something is wrong here.. Im no more elite than the rest of you who think your opinon is "best". We're all entiteld to think highly of our own thoughts..


That being said.. Netflix is a great option for those who cant rent anime at their local blockbuster or d/l it. It's better to see some older stuff at your leisure than being spoon fed dubbed, heavily edited, poorly written series aimed at children. BeyBlade anyone?

3zos 07-28-2003 09:14 AM

one can be more than passionate about what they watch, or any interest in their life, without resorting to telling everyone else they're ignorant and just go with the mainstream.
that said, wolfs rain, gits:standalone, last exile are series worth keeping up on through bittorrent. the latter has one of the most vivid scenes ive seen portrayed in an anime for a while, save perhaps the set pieces in Metropolis (one of my personal favorites, though many will no doubt disagree).

Ganguro 07-28-2003 03:39 PM

I think you are totally misreading me.

rockzilla 07-28-2003 04:11 PM

Maybe this'll take some of the heat off of you Ganguro...

My favorite anime is also my guiltiest pleasure in life.


I watch Dragonball.



I've seen most of the other stuff posted in this thread, and enjoyed most of them, but nothing keeps me coming back like Dragonball.

Goku : Ahhhhh!!! His power level is greater than my power level!

Bad guy : You're dead Goku! Ahhhhhhh!!!!

Everyone Else : Ahhhhhh! What's Goku Gonna do?!?!?!?!?!

Goku : Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!

Bad guy : Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!

Narrator : Tune in next episode, when you'll see more yelling, and maybe an explosion.

It's a simple formula, but it entertains me, which is why I watch anything.


If I had to choose something a little less simplistic, I'll say 'Castle of Cagliostro'. It's one of the only movies, Anime or not, that I've cared enough about to watch more than once.

cheerios 07-28-2003 04:13 PM

3zos: you're kidding me. I found Metropolis to be the most ponderous, BORING movie I've watched in awhile. a waste of a rental fee. blech.

favorites... bebop, of course... I'm LOVING Trigun. it's awesome. love Vash. funny guy. :) umm... just saw Demon City Shinjuko... very trite, cliche, but not TOO bad... the other Demon City was supposedly better, but i never made it more than part-way through. hmm... enjoyed the first DVD of Lain, was a big DBZ fan for a long time, although it's quality declines greatly as the series progresses... LOVE gundam wing. YAY FOR DUO! :D

hmm... think that's it... oooooooh!! RANMA!! :D "hmm, and I'm better looking to boot!" *KONK!* (sorry all done now)

if it makes you feel better, rockzilla, my 50 yr old father get's home just in time to watch Kenshin with my sister. :)

-z3r0- 07-28-2003 11:13 PM

DBZ!, gate keepers 21, and vampire hunter d :)

Ganguro 07-29-2003 04:52 AM

havent had a chance to watch gatekeepers 21 yet, but i read the manga.. Is the anime any good? I really liked the first series. It's reminded me a lot of Azumanga and that is a good thing.

Stare At The Sun 07-30-2003 12:01 AM

I dunno if its an anime or not, technically, but Final fantasy the spirits within was one kick ass movie, i really really liked it, also, vampire hunter D bloodlust, and Hellsing kicked my ass all day long. As did Ninja scroll, and the animatrix :)

fuzzix 07-30-2003 05:59 AM

Excel Saga is my all time fav. Hilarious.

auswegian 07-30-2003 06:30 AM

My anime experience is nowhere near as comprehensive as I want to be, but Evangelion, Wicked City, Ghost in the Shell, Animatrix and Jin Roh are all excellent. Oh, and the Wings of Honnemaise, or however it is spelt.

I am desperately seeking Lain. I'm too poor to afford it, my connection is too 56k-ish for me to d/l it, and the person I know who has it lives too far away and hasn't lent it to me yet...damn

CaptainFluffer 07-30-2003 07:33 AM

GTO is great. Bebop is great. Working on GTO and RahXephon. I'm probably just gonna wait til Azumanga comes out over here.

Evangelion, Initial D, Love Hina, Kare Kano, "Now and Then, Here and There", Robotech, Vandread are amoungst my favorites...and I've only been a fan for a year and I have 96 dvds :P (spent too much...not to mention the con we went to >_< )

P.S. - The Love Hina dub can burn in hell right where it spawned from!!

CaptainFluffer 07-30-2003 07:34 AM

Fuzzix. If you like excel saga, watch Puni Puni Poemi. It's the 2 episode OVA follow up to the series. Starring Nabeshin's daughter.

Ganguro 07-30-2003 09:04 AM

"my asshole itches because im a girl" :)

Sparhawk 07-30-2003 09:15 AM

I picked up cowboy bebop the movie on a lark because it was selling for 7.99.

WOW

One of the best values for the buck that I've gotten on any dvd I own.

Question: How does the series compare to the movie?

are you in fact implying that you fancy anal sex with STD-ridden men?

CrazyIntent 07-30-2003 05:56 PM

Tier 1

Evangelion
His & Her Circumstances
Escaflowne
.hack//SIGN

Tier 2

Tenchi Muyo
Outlaw Star
Big O

Never did care much for Cowboy Bebop or Trigun...
