 | OK, so I've never watched any Japanese style anime other than Astroboy and Voltron.  Can anyone recommend anything in
 the genre that is particularly cool?  I've heard Akira is
 one of the best examples.

 | the other day I got ninja scroll, akira, and ghost in the shell for $40 AUS (about $20 US I'm guessing) as part of a
 "movies that inspired animatrix" pack, if you don't own
 these movies and you see this pack around, I suggest you get
 it

 | the animatrix is varied, 
 I liked about half of them (they are several short
 animations,.. nine I think)
 
 the one that deals with a "glitchy" haunted house is the
 best one I reckon, followed closely by the one about the
 skateboarding kid

 | the preview looks a lot like evangelion... i like the looks of it, looks more disturbing than evangelion, which would be
 cool... although end of evangelion was truly weird... didnt
 get that

 | yeah, it's nice and disturbing, has a really cool atmosphere to it,.. and *most* of the people in it are very normal,
 which adds to the realism of it, and makes the loopy
 characters seem a lot loopier
 
 I'd love to chat, but I just worked 20 hours and I'm
 knackered, night everyone!
