It totally kicks ass, funny fact that the ending theme is Paranoid Android by Radiohead ^^

Wow that screenshot looks amazing … I think I’m going to have to check up on this … I’m having Hunter X Hunter withdrawl symptoms

I have just recently discovered the greatness of a couple more animes… Hellsing and Full Metal Alchemist… amazing…

Yes FMA rocks! … which reminds me the I need to watch the movie, it concludes the series cliffhanger :happy:

I watched the first ep of Ergo Proxy, and I didn’t really like it.
I watched FMA, but never finished the series. :sad:

My favorite all-time anime is Last Exile

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Exile

There’s your summary. The scenery is beautiful as the anime does well to incorporate sexy 3d graphics into the regular stuff.

The world the anime portrays is stunning. The 3d stuff helps it too. You’ll be addicted to it after the first episode, heh, maybe the intro too.

Another decent series is Bleach. it has 73 episodes and counting. It’s about death gods (shinigami) and nice sword fights where the swords have supernatural powers, this is all wrapped around a decent plot which I don’t want to spoil.
The main character like in Naruto and Dragon Ball GT as usual has a good heart, but is not the brightest light on the string. Uzumaki Naruto…he’s a good person, but he’s a fool.

You gotta love Anime.

I’m watching Samurai Champlu and I’m liking it.

I’m also watching Avatar or The Avatar. I wonder how anime that is though.

Anyway, Chrizimer Last Exile seems interesting.

W00t! I just discovered torrents for some old Sonic SatAM anime!

Wikipedia link here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_%28SatAM%29

I remember having seen it before the year 2000, it come on at about 7-8am every morning. At that time, I was into the sega console. I have several sonic games
Sonic 2
Sonic 3
Sonic & Knuckles
Sonic 3d Blast

but anyhow they took it off the air and I only had comics…
as it so happened, I thought of searching torrentspy and the old SatAM Sonic eps are out there. 2 seasons: 13 eps each.
a third season was canceled due to low ratings and power rangers were moving in and the tv station was changing leaderships. I got canned.

So what I’m saying is Sonic is my childhood hero.
Just search “Sonic SatAM” on torrentspy.com or isohunt.com
if you are interested. fun stuff :slight_smile:

:yay:

It’s cool, isn’t it! :content:

That’s not really Anime–that’s made in the States by two American guys, of course :tongue: It’s still cool, though :good:

I hope Prince Zuko catches the Avatar so his dad won’t be so angry with him :eh:

Poor Zuko :sad:

LOL… I get that correction stuff alot from my daughter too.

I usually get “OMG Ma… it’s …”

and NOOOOOOOOOO… he can’t catch the avatar. I rented The Sorcerer on the Rocks. Didn’t like it. Too sexual.

I forgot to add one of my more favored anime… its called Gensomaden Saiyuki. I really grew to like it. Its quite philosophical at times and it doesn’t fail to make you think.

Most of all, I like its characters a lot. They’re all very deep with well-thought out stories (and past lives too, actually…(they were gods before)) All of them are interesting. Take for example the character called Sanzo. He’s a high ranking monk but he manages to seem so unholy especially with his comments like “Gods save no one now, only you can save yourself.” And his most famous one… the Vanity of vanities: “Kill the Buddha as you meet him. Kill your father as you meet him. Never be captivated by anything or anyone. Live you life the way you feel.”

(And the quotes you can get from that anime are endless.)

EDIT: (I just wanted to add something about my fave character there: Gojyo.)

As I said, charatcers there were developed well. I particularly like the story of Gojyo. He was born as the taboo child of a demon and a human. His step-mother (a demon) hated him blindly since she saw in his face the face of the woman that was loved by his father. His brother (also a full demon) though loved him. His tragedy was that his mother’s rage once grew to such extreme that his brother had to kill her to save him. This was what he said about it:

“I think I carried a thing like a guilt towards my brother. The same brother who disappeared and the one who carried the sin of killing our mother in exchange for my life… That’s why I’ve been thinking of whether or not I should apologize to him when I meet him or not… But I quit… The thing I want to show him isn’t an apology nor gratitude… But to show him proudly that I’m living my life like this.”-Sha Gojyo

I like the characters from Anime. They carry so much emotion with them.

These two pics may not come from a movie or show.

Have a peak.

Ooh, those pictures are great! Parts of them taken and scaled down would make good avatars - but I already have two in my stash that I haven’t been using yet, so I’ll wait here. :grin:

I’m a little bit avvie crazy, don’t you know.

That sounds like a pretty intresting anime Alvin, I think I will have to watch it somehow … though catching anime in england is pretty much impossible… sigh

Those are some nice pics Iluminada :content: … can’t say I recognise the artist, but there are some pretty awesome digital artists on deviantart with similar styles :smile:

Hmmm… I just started watching Inuyasha recently and got attached to it pretty quickly actually, there are some intresting characters mixed in with japanese lore. Not too give to much away, it focuses around a 1/2 demon inuyasha and Kagome whom is also the reincarnation of an ancient priestess named Kikyo, who guarded the sacred Shikon no Tama (Jewel of Four Souls), and who sealed away the half-demon Inuyasha who had tried to steal the jewel in order to become a full demon. Kikyo died of her wounds and had the jewel burned with her body… :content: anyways Im off to revise …sigh

I used to watch Inuaysha when they would show it on Adult swim it ,actually they still do, but theres just too many damn episode, :lol: like 165 or something. Anyway I’d say my favorite anime would have to be Berserk.

Gatts, an incredibly powerful warrior, is a lone swordsman in a medieval-fantasy world. He loses in a battle with a mysterious swordsman named Griffith, who holds a powerful pendant called the Eye of God. As the story progresses, secrets are revealed and the darkest depths of fantasy combat and political intrigue are explored.

This is definately a really good Action anime, medieval warfare style, with drama, horror, and even romance. So I sugest it.
Also, not sure if its an anime (I suppose its not but Im gonna reccomend it anyway), Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. If you havent seen it, then you might want to. Its based on the hit game FF7, It takes place 2 years after the events of the game yadda yadda yadda go see it :good:

No, it’s not an anime, but quite entertaining to watch, even though it mainly owes it’s succes to the game :razz:

My anime that I’m watching list:
Naruto (Episode 96)
One Piece (Episode 176)
Detective Conan (Episode 2)
Dokuro-chan(Episode 6-FINISHED)
Furi Kuri (Episode 6-FINISHED)

My favorite anime is One Piece. Too bad 4kids had to screw it up so bad.

There are only a couple animes that I enjoy. Cowboy Bebop, Serial Experiments Lain, Princess Monoke, and Howl’s Moving Castle.

Ive watched a few besides these, but they just didnt interest me too much.

Lain is probably my favorite among those, the ideas and themes in it are just so fascinating, and every time I watch it I understand more and more of its mysteries. Explaining ideas isnt the animes goal, it only asks questions.

I got a new favorite anime series named Parania Agent. :smile:
It rockes!
