Anime

[CrimsonWolf]

Does anyone here watch any Japanese Anime? I've been watching it non-stop for close to two years now. Some of my favs are: Tsubasa Chronicles, Elfen Lied, Full Metal Alchemist, Hunter X Hunter, Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, Shakugan no Shana, Ouran High School Host Club, Bleach, Fate/Stay Night and Air.

Elfen Lied is a big WTF. I'm not going to mention my favorite anime, simply the anime that is superior to all others in my oh-so humble opinion. Trigun (duh), Gungrave (the parts not based on the videogame), Samurai Champloo, Wolf's Rain (shut up nay-sayers), FLCL, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bepop, some others And my fav movies: Ninja Scroll, Akira, Metropolis, Most things made by Miyazaki, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bepop The Movie, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust... some others I liked ones like Fullmetal alchemist but I thought it started to go down hill right around when they found their dad. I liked Ghost in the Shell but it's kinda slow.

I still have yet to see HellSing...my friends have recommended me to it but I never got around to watching it... But does it have anything to do with Elfen Lied? I read a review and it said that the military group that went after Lucy was called the HellSing so I figured it might have something to do with that show...I could just be going out on a branch though...

[GestaltAlteration]

Hm. I've never seen Elfen Lied but if I had to guess I'd say there is no connection between that and the anime Hellsing. (Van Hellsing, maybe).

[Original Poster]

No, none at all. Hellsing is about vampires, Elfen Lied is about gruesome violence.

Resisted anime for some time now, have only recently gotten into Death Note and I can't get enough of it.

[Identity X]

Anime/manga turned this timeless classic into, uh, THIS: Bastards.

Does anyone here watch any Japanese Anime? Seriously.. who asks this question on an INTERNET FORUM and seriously expects a hail of "nah.. not my thing". This is the internet. The home of anime, intellect and cartoon tentacle porn.

And tired memes. ALL YOUR TENTACLE PR0N ARE BELONG TO US!!!!!11111!!!!!!

I'm sure theres at least 3 other threads like this... But, in interest of keeping things on topic. Cowboy BeBop is by far my favourite. Death Note was awesome, Elfin Lied was awesome, and another one I've really enjoyed is 12 Kingdoms. I got to episode 47 out of 50. I'm dying to figure out how it ends, though apparently its a cliffhanger waiting for another season according to the Manga community.

Anime/manga turned this timeless classic into, uh, THIS: Bastards. Lol. I thought the cell saga was pretty OK.

[Daeva]

I've only ever really enjoyed one anime that I've seen, the rest haven't been able to hold my attention. Gundam Wing. I don't like any of the other Gundam series, just Gundam Wing.

[ExoByte]

Ah, Gundam Wing was an awesome one. I've got the movie, The Endlass Waltz, on my compy.

[GestaltAlteration]

That's one of the few animes I couldn't get into. Weired.

[Daeva]

Ah, Gundam Wing was an awesome one. I've got the movie, The Endlass Waltz, on my compy. I've got all 49 episodes on my computer and I've got a VHS of the movie, haven't gotten around to downloading it just yet. All of my episodes are in the original language though with English subtitles.

Lucky The subbed version is probably so much better than the dubbed. The dubs aren't bad, they're actually pretty good in Gundam Wing which is pretty rare in animes. Most dubs suck. But the dubbing in Gundam Wing is actually pretty good, the problem is it had to be dumbed down so it could be used on kids channels like YTV and it just sounds so childish

Anime/manga turned this timeless classic into, uh, THIS: Bastards. Not to be rude, but that's probably why it's says loosely based...

The entire season for GW was only 3.73 gig. And it is really awesome hearing the characters as they were meant to be heard. ^_^

[ExoByte]

Would that site be Anime-Eden?

[Daeva]

Would that site be Anime-Eden? No, that site looks like you have to pay. The site I got was completely and utterly free.

[ExoByte]

Anime-Eden is totally free. I use it all the time, you get better server access though if you donate understandably. So download speeds are way faster if you pay, but you don't need to.

Favorites Naruto DBZ Death Note Gantz Rave Master -- First 8 or so volumes G Gundam FTW Samurai Champloo There's more, I'll think of them...
