Akira is probably the best animé. So I'll mention one or two other things worth seeing... Wings Of Honneamise is a pretty good epic film about a rocket launch. Patlabor Mobile Police (the first movie) is an intelligent cop/mecha film. Cowboy Bebop is very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Cowboy Bebop is indeed awsome. It's the first anime i've seen and its the one that I have watched most. The animation, story, characters, everything about it is great. Also - nice collection Gwely Mernans! |

I must ask, since I'm thinking of buying the Texhnolyze-series; now, there's two versions released, one from Geneon (american), and one from Madman (australian). Geneon has anamorphic widescreen, and madman goes by the 4:3 format, which one do you reckon is better? Anyone expert on tv-formats? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are a few considerations.. first of all there's your tv. If it's 4:3 you should probably get 4:3 unless you're planning on going widescreen later on. The second thing you have to consider is what the show is made in originally. I know many people seem to think some things are originally made in 16:9 because that's what cameras somehow are in, but the fact of the matter is that certain shows are stored in 4:3 only so the 16:9 "upgrades" are really just silly stretching, and with all these new-fangled "oh, let's stretch everything!" lcd tvs, you know there's going to be trouble. Check the company that makes/sells it, IMDB, Wikipedia and Animenfo (more specifically their forums) for information about the original format of the show. |

I know this thread is about rating anime but making a new one just for one image would be kind of pointless. Anyway here's something I found - I have no idea whats going on in it though. |

maybe someone will find it out on first guess id say that kid was infected by rdj album |

I saw the first episode of texhonlyze.. it didn't really make much sense yet so I guess I need to see a few more... |

Drunken Mastah: Yes, that's what I've heard. But don't give in, man. They say you'll get hooked in due time, and remember it's the fellas behind Lain, and Haibane. ________________________ Cowboy Bebop didn't "click" for me until ep 5 or 6 (when Vicious appeared), but man what a mistake I'd have made If I hadn't have watched it all through. ________________________ And on a personal note, 80-90% of all anime is crap, so we'll have to hang on to the hidden jade. ;) |

Gravity again: ahaha, where did you find that picture? ^^ |

It was posted on 4chan's anime & manga board. |

Did I mention "the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya" yet? It's definitely worth watching! I also recently enjoyed Inukami and Bobobo bo bobobobo. Kamichu looks good.. funny yet relaxing. Pugyuru doesn't make sense. AWESOME! She's edible, and she's fine with it!? Muteki Kanban Musume is also quite good! |
||||||||
|
|

I think the artist is Ichigo Mashimaro. DM, I've heard good things about the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya. Will look into it for sure. |

Has anyone seen Millennium Actress? It's the second anime directed by Satoshi Kon that i've watched (the first being Paranoia Agent) and it's pretty good, the guy definitely knows what he is doing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haven't seen that one yet but I'm watching paranoia agent right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What do you think of it? Also here's a trailer to Satoshi Kon's next anime movie - It looks like its going to be a total mindfuck - cant wait. |
||||||||

holy shit. |

that looks awesome! |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that's really cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know it's meant to be good, but I just found it a bit repulsive and empty. It's got some great fight scenes and stuff, but it lacks soul for me. I'm about to watch Princes Mononoke. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really enjoyed it. It was powerful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(thats refering to paranoia agent) though the same will be said for paprika once I see that. Satoshi did perfect blue also. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn, I need to finish Paranoia Agent.. I only got a few episodes in and then I thought I'd better buy it since it actually was available on dvd, but it never happened... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its got a great ending. and the whole series is full of surprises. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I know about Perfect Blue. I was thinking of watching it soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Paprika is finally subbed and you can get it from . I havent watched it yet and I dont know what the quality of this release is but I hope its good. |

Aumanga Daioh: Awesome! Ippatsu Kikimusume: Awesome! Definitely recommended. Each episode is only, like, five minutes long, so you can check it out quite easily. Muteki Kanban Musume: So far it's looking good, but it could get tiresome. I don't know yet. Pumpkin Scissors: It started out great, now it's in a kind of slower paced thing, but I'm hoping it'll pick up again when it gets back to the original plot, if it ever does so. |

4/5 His and Her Circumstances (Kare Kano) 5/5 Paranoia Agent 3.5/5 Fruits Basket 4.5/5 Excel Saga [ baseball coach on toilet :O ] The Texhnolyze: Music Only Music But Music soundtrack is tops. 5/5 Angel Cop Seems like there's no love for this forgotten film, it's become one of my favourites. I love the introduction scene: Masked gunman have broken into an office and taken the workers hostage. The door bursts open and someone wearing a motorcycle helmet comes through, shooting the place up. The last baddie gets his brains blasted all over the wall. The shocked workers turn to their saviour. The helmet comes off revealing a woman!!! (reveal is played three times) "The name's Angel, but don't let that fool you, I can be a bitch if I want to." :) |

Gwely, that's a really nice collection *jealous* Nice shelves, too. I notice you have Haibane Renmei. I haven't seen it yet, but it looks nice... also: 4/5 NieA_7 4.5/5 Voices of a Distant Star 5/5 Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro One of my favourites, an awesome early Miyazaki. |

the girl who leapt through time - 10/10 highly comical and touching, with some of the best animation to come out of japan outside of studio ghibli. it's one of those japanese animated films, like the ghibli movies and satoshi kon's films, that go beyond the cheesiness and pandering you expect from anime and proves itself as a true work of art. definitely up there with the greats. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So this seemingly anime is only that, seemingly ultra drama? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't watch youtube videos. is that a trailer for the movie i mentioned in my last post? if so, then there's only a small section of Ultra Drama at the end. the rest of the movie is comedy with science fiction elements. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is awesome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it's a trailer, and it just makes it all seem pretty drama. It's all in japanese, though, and the only words I can make out are "taijmu travuru?!?" which I'm guessing is "time travel." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha. trust me, it's a comedy. a laugh-out-loud comedy. :x watch it, and if you hate it, then never trust an anime recommendation from me again! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where did you buy it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i downloaded it since it's not available in my region format of dvd. i hope it is eventually since i want to own a physical copy of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm. I'll have to look around a bit then. Regions don't matter. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's a japanese dvd out but it doesn't carry subtitles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah. That's a different problem. Also why I love fansubbers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you seen diebuster yet? it's from the team that did flcl but it's not as good. the best thing about it are the designs for some of the characters and robots. |
