qualia Posted March 15, 2011 reminds me did you know they made a real life version of wicked city? absolute crap for the most part, i remember they totally changed the story to be about drugs or something, only reason worth watching is for the vagina dentata spider oh i found out above that other anime above was from a 1986 dvd neo tokyo, haven't seen though it looks pretty crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheather Posted March 23, 2011 I will definitely be back here to see get some ideas for what to watch. Currently I'm watching an anime series called Noein. So far pretty good. Better than stuff like death note at least. I hate watching dubbed versions of something if I can simply get a subbed version instead though. Most dubs are awful too Going to watch Ghost in the Shell after Noein. Have both of them and I remember being fascinated by it years ago, it was on SBS I think, but I didn't understand it at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted April 9, 2011 Found another quite good short anime Angel Beats! Death and reincarnation are inescapable, but what happens in between? Without warning and without his memories, a boy who only recalls his last name - Otonashi - wakes up next to a girl named Yuri who offers him a gun and tells him to shoot an angel. Assuming it must be a misunderstanding, Otonashi is then almost killed by the angel and is drawn into Yuri's army to battle to delay the beginning of his next life. Immortality is within reach, but if Otonashi remembers how he died, will he keep fighting or allow himself to vanish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FancyPants Posted April 10, 2011 I saw a particular anime movie on SBS back in the '90s and if anyone could tell me what it was I'd be grateful It was about some chick whose vagina was poisonous but she had some kind of magic power and this bad wizard dude was trying to get the power from her. I don't remember much else but that. Also I like Elfen Lied, I need to get the rest of the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FancyPants Posted April 10, 2011 Thanks Synchro! Looks like it. I'll have to visit a JB today and get that and the rest of Elfen Lied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheather Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Just finished Elfen Lied first season - excellent, but I didn't like the ending, just a big unimpressive cliffhanger. I think I may prefer the manga, so I'm going to look in to that. Also it was English dubbed. I can't stand dubbing. Much prefer subs. I stopped watching Noein halfway through. It's getting pretty meh. It doesn't feel like there's any real development. Edit: (Elfen Lied) Also no real twists. The whole thing panned out exactly as I thought it would.

-YT- Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Nerd alert Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood - easily one of my favourites, Some what of a marked difference between this series and the first one realised a few years ago now. The animation seems to rely more on computer animation and simplification of technique, The story starts of the same until about halfway through the series then takes a turn as this is exclusively based upon the original manga story ( which in essence is a remake of the story of paracelsus and his creation of a homoculus/golem ) i quite dig the character development/philosophy, FMA's adherence to not taking anothers life and his unconditional love for his brother, willing to give up his power to save someone he loves. Fathers unwavering belief that he can consume and reach godhood, Scars hatred and lust for revenge all these coalesce into a really great story... well i think so Code Geass is pritty epic kinda like playing a chess game against a life long friend who you would love to beat heh Sure ive posted about Blade of the immortal before but this is fairly good, a lot of violence etc but beyond that is an interesting story of a man who kills 100 men in service of a corrupt lord (unbeknownst to him) he kills his sisters husband who then goes insane and ends up killing herself, after which he meets a nun and becomes immortal vowing to kill 1000 evil men to regain his mortality and finally die. he meets a young girl whos parents were murdered by a rival swordsman ( whose techniques are unacceptable to the current system thus making him an outcast in the rigid caste system) the immortal vows to help the girl avenge her parents. the difference here is that the protagonists and antagonists are not so clear cut aka black and white, each has a deep seeted belief in what they are doing is inherently right and inevitable, from wiki " even the supposed antagonist Anotsu, who espouses an "end justifies the means" philosophy, elicits sympathy from the reader via his ultimate goal - in that, fighting the widespread corruption of his era and therein fashioning a stronger Japanese society" please keep posting havent found anything worth watching for a while now Edited October 20, 2012 by -YT- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) so a few i've seen lately i guess mobile suit gundam 00 samurai deeper kyo - watching atm, it's ok , nothing special started watching peacemaker kurogane too, but seiously that kid was too annoying so i couldn't get past the first few episodes i also wish they'd hurry up and finish hellsing ova, that's psycho that series Edited October 20, 2012 by qualia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) batman: gotham night - pretty good, many high profile japanese anime studio's involved blade of the immortal - samurai series, pretty good basilisk - if you like ninja scroll you'll like this otogi zoushi - not that great but worth a mention for the historical references (a little course in japanese history actually) Edited November 26, 2012 by qualia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
