IrishJay91
06.30.11 | Miyazaki films shred[2]
some cool stuff here
watch Gurren Lagann |
gabethepiratesquid
06.30.11 | Take out Hellsing and Afro Samurai. Decent animation but it's just, "WOWWY ZOWWY LOOK AT THAT EXPLOSION HIS HEAD GOT CHOPPED OFF WOOOOW". Basically the Michael Bay films of anime.
Watch Gurren Lagann[2]
Also check out Monster. Great, thought-provoking series and all of it is on Hulu. |
gabethepiratesquid
06.30.11 | and Elfen Leid is basically only cool if you're in it for the bloodshed and tits. |
Trebor.
06.30.11 | The Cat Returns is pretty good.
I haven't seen Yu Yu Hakusho or Monster Rancher since I was a kid.
7 is the best
8, 12, and 13 are great |
omnipanzer
06.30.11 | "Elfen Leid is basically only cool if you're in it for the bloodshed and tits."
If I remember correctly there isn't nearly as much tit as their is promise of tit... Beautiful animation though. |
Trebor.
06.30.11 | Someone needs to make a "hottest chicks in anime" list. |
Titan50
06.30.11 | "Decent animation but it's just, "WOWWY ZOWWY LOOK AT THAT EXPLOSION HIS HEAD GOT CHOPPED OFF WOOOOW". Basically the Michael Bay films of anime."
I've already seen the Afro Samurai mini-series and I loved it. It's like Tarantino doing anime, which is fucking hot
"don't forget to move on to 2nd GIG."
Yeah. Already watched the first two GTAS films, which were utterly amazing |
mariothehedgehog
06.30.11 | dragonball kai? really? |
gabethepiratesquid
06.30.11 | "Someone needs to make a "hottest chicks in anime" list."
I think that would put the nail on the "Music Site for Virgins" coffin, guy. |
Titan50
06.30.11 | "dragonball kai? really?"
Considering it's basically a revamp of the original Z series, which I haven't seen since I was, like, 8, I'm definitely getting on that |
qwe3
06.30.11 | dude watch gurren lagaan
akira and bleach are good too, so's death note
dragonball and dragonball z are only good in japanese, the dubbing sucks even if you get the new ones |
NOTINTHEFACE
06.30.11 | Elfen Lied is one of those series where I loved the good parts but hated other aspects of it. The ridiculous harem storyline wore very thin by the end of the show, mostly because it never ended up amounting to anything. But the primary storyline is absolutely fantastic, especially near the end.
Serial Experiments Lain is also on my to-watch list someday when I want to watch something trippy. If you like it, check out Ghost Hound. That show is by the same studio and it's brilliant.
The rebuild of Evangelion are my favorite movies of all time.
I also recommend you check out Ergo Proxy, Gankutsuou, and most especially Phantom: Requiem of the Phantom. Phantom is one of the greatest animes ever yet hardly anyone knows about it. I'd put it at the top of your to-do list, personally. Just my suggestion. |
qwe3
06.30.11 | "Elfen Lied is one of those series where I loved the good parts but hated other aspects of it. "
elfen lied is the kinda anime i reallyreally liked when i was new to anime but dont like anymore |
Trebor.
06.30.11 | Like Bleach |
mariothehedgehog
06.30.11 | which version of fma are you gonna watch? |
NOTINTHEFACE
06.30.11 | "elfen lied is the kinda anime i reallyreally liked when i was new to anime but dont like anymore"
It's one of those things where I think if I watched it now, I'd hate it altogether. |
mariothehedgehog
06.30.11 | oh and watch claymore |
ShinXetsu
06.30.11 | Some of the stuff on this list is painful. I'm assuming you're watching most of this stuff over again? This is all baby's-first anime stuff. |
qwe3
06.30.11 | "This is all baby's-first anime stuff."
gotta start somewhere etc |
Trebor.
06.30.11 | Anime elitists
lol |
MUNGOLOID
06.30.11 | the ending for yu yu hakusho was so meh. |
qwe3
06.30.11 | oh god whenever someone says some shit is entry level people go ELITIST
usually people with terrible opinions but |
qwe3
06.30.11 | also you need to watch everything from the ghost in the shell anime plus the movies yeah |
Slum
06.30.11 | 4kids |
DoubtGin
06.30.11 | I don't know most of these, but I definitely recommend the mangas Elfen Lied and Fullmetal Alchemist; apparently much better than their anime counterparts (I don't watch anime, I read manga) |
Trebor.
06.30.11 | I was kidding
I don't know much about anime |
qwe3
06.30.11 | anime rules dude check out Death Note, Gurren Lagann, Cowboy Bebop, Bleach, Evangalion, Gundam, Dragonball (maybe Z too, but not GT) and Berserk |
qwe3
06.30.11 | oh and full metal alchemist |
MUNGOLOID
06.30.11 | no body every mentions ruroni kenshin on this site. |
qwe3
06.30.11 | never seen |
qwe3
06.30.11 | OH AND CLANNAD WATCH FUCKING CLANNAD |
MUNGOLOID
06.30.11 | good thing i read the manga then. |
qwe3
06.30.11 | "It's imperative that you read Death Note the manga, and not watch the anime. Because of the wild dialogue and convoluted story, the manga makes more sense of everything. The anime was good, but in this case the manga made the story more comprehensible. "
didnt think bout that |
qwe3
06.30.11 | glad no one has mentioned one piece
|
MUNGOLOID
06.30.11 | never see Samurai X really mentioned on this site either lol. |
Winsomniac
06.30.11 | Basilisk. FMA: Brotherhood is great. Elfen Lied manga is FAR superior to the anime imo. And Gundam 00. SO MUCH GUNDAM 00. |
PistolPete
06.30.11 | i know most ppl are into the action-packed anime with gigantic robot and busty chicks, and i agree that stuff is sick, but "spirited away" and "princess mononoke" trump any anime i've ever seen, they are perfect films for what they are. Miyazaki is a king. |
MUNGOLOID
06.30.11 | eh, i like one piece. |
Trebor.
06.30.11 | Kiki and Totoro shred |
qwe3
06.30.11 | howls moving castle rules hard too
also i dont know anyone who thinks my neighbor is better than spirited |
psykonaut
06.30.11 | grave of the fireflies isn't a miyazaki film |
Trebor.
06.30.11 | Spirited Away gets me teary eyed every time. |
psykonaut
06.30.11 | princess mononoke will always be my favorite. the soundtrack, the animation, fuck me that's such a beautiful movie |
MUNGOLOID
06.30.11 | ponyo might be the cutest movie i've ever seen. |
Trebor.
06.30.11 | Moral of Ponyo: Women shouldn't drive |
qwe3
06.30.11 | hey man thats why helen keller didnt get her license |
Titan50
06.30.11 | "akira and bleach are good too, so's death note"
Can't be bothered with Bleach, Death Note is great and Akira is one of my favourite films of all time
"Some of the stuff on this list is painful. I'm assuming you're watching most of this stuff over again? This is all baby's-first anime stuff."
lol go fuck yourself
"anime rules dude check out Death Note, Gurren Lagann, Cowboy Bebop, Bleach, Evangalion, Gundam, Dragonball (maybe Z too, but not GT) and Berserk"
Haha, have you seen my profile picture? I fucking love Evangelion
"Miyazaki is hit or miss for me. His more poignant stuff (Grave of Fireflies, Spirited Away, etc.) beats the more iconic stuff (Kiki's, My Neighbor..., etc.)"
Grave Of The Fireflies was Takahata. Still a Ghibli film, so an easy mistake to make |
Titan50
06.30.11 | "also i dont know anyone who thinks my neighbor is better than spirited"
I couldn't get into Totoro. I mean, it was cute, and the bus stop scene was genuinely a work of art. But aside from that, I found it aimless, utterly boring, and the girls were just too annoying. |
qwe3
06.30.11 | "Haha, have you seen my profile picture? I fucking love Evangelion"
yeah i actually did haha guess i was just listing fav animes |
qwe3
06.30.11 | idk i didn't find them annoying at all but each to their own |
DocSportello
06.30.11 | List has no Spirited Away.
Invalid. |
Trebor.
06.30.11 | Totoro is about being a kid, and how kids can see the beauty in shit that adults can't
Hence the soot spirits |
Titan50
06.30.11 | "List has no Spirited Away.
Invalid."
That's because everyone and their grandmother has seen it. I love it. |
mariothehedgehog
06.30.11 | the samurai x movies are really damn good |
Rev
06.30.11 | These comments. Oh man
|
toxin.
06.30.11 | Miyazki is awesome. I gotta finish watching a lot of his movies though. |
PistolPete
06.30.11 | Death Note was always great to watch, so creepy and gripping. |
Rev
06.30.11 | Death Note was ehh. Really not that great plus it completely fell apart halfway through |
PistolPete
06.30.11 | Naruto and Dragonball Z used to piss me off when I was younger. Those shows dragged for sooooooo long. Every epic fight took like 6 episodes to finish, it was fuckin stupid. |
ITsHxCTOASTER
06.30.11 | I used to kinda be an anime nerd in like 8th grade. I'm not trying to sound like I'm hot shit now though, That was only like 3-4 years ago and I'm still pretty damn nerdy. But back then I liked a lot of the mindless, action-packed stuff like the Dragonball series, Yu-Yu Hakusho, Naruto, etc. But I do remember watching some Death Note and liking it, and I loved and still love Spirited Away. I need to see more Miyazaki films, and I was told that Full Metal Alchemist is the best anime ever; I may need to get on that too. |

06.30.11 | code geass is pretty sweet too.
