Meh. I didn't really like Escaflowne. Granted, I'm rather fanatical when it comes to Mecha (If it ain't Gundam, Mazinger, Macross, or a Tomino creation, it's inferior), but still.
Escaflowne kicks ass.

Full Metal Panic
Has anyone ever seen a movie called "Rock N Rule"?
Wow, really? I thought it was beautiful.
Ghost in the S is a mind-blower, but watch it at least 3 or 4 times over a year to really understand it.
Ninja Scroll is gory but excellent
Any Miyazaki is worthwhile - Nausica: Valley of the Wind, Kiki's Delivery Service, Laputa, Porco Rosso. Just be aware that his films are thoughtful, not your typical blood-and-guts. Read about him here:

The new version of Appleseed is okay.
As for funny ol skool series, check out Ranma 1/2 (original series) and Robotech.
Manny, the top 3 animes right now in japan are "Naruto", "Bleach" and "One Piece".
But it really depends on what it is that you're looking for.
You looking for action? Drama? Senseless killing? All? lol
You could start off by going with what some of these guys are recommending you to watch in "Dragonball Z". (DBZ, is conisdered one of the greatest animes of all time)
But if you want NOW, I recommend the first 3 I mentioned.
There was this one series that you might find intriguing, that was super short, but very good.
That series was called "Death Note".
I know some places where you can download episodes from these series or whatever it is that you decide to watch.
Youtube might not be a good place to search since most of it got banned.
Try dailymotion (best for anime) or Crunchy roll.
(my sig is from bleach btw.)
Miyazaki's good, no doubt....but he's got nothing on Yoshiyuki "Kill 'em All" Tomino. Astro Boy, CREATING Gundam, Space Runaway Ideon, L. Gaim, Brain Powered, Aura Battler Dunbine....the dude's a *god*, certainly in the mecha community....way better than Miyazaki, IMHO.
It's like comparing apples and oranges. Miyazaki is a magical realist storyteller, you're talking about sci-fi mecha series. Personally, I love the best of both and don't really compare them.
Tezuka created Astro Boy, not Tomino.
In Japan, Miyazaki is the most popular anime creator of all time, no question. I lived there for two years and he is a God in Japan.
I just wish someone would make Akira 2 and 3 - Akira only covered 1/3 of the original comic book story, the rest of which would make great movies.
I guess I'm more a cyberpunk fan than anything, but Miyazaki holds a special place in my heart...
btw you guys should check the dates on things that are bumped. This was a good bump though.
Samurai Champloo is great but don't forget about Rurouni Kenshin don't watch the English version Samurai X
dont waste ur time on sumarai champloo = its lame
7 sumarai is better
deathnote is also good, try the anime and movie...
lol
oh well. so what did you decide to watch?
I have never seen a more obvious "I'm coming out as a geek or a loser" thread than this one. Unless you're Japanese...or 9, this is just a bad thing to admit.
I hope I get alot of $h!t...but my generalization is pretty accurate.
I wasn't saying Tomino created AB. I know he worked on it, though...I think the Japanese le of it was Mighty Atom, and I *know* he worked on it. And I like Miyazaki, as well. I was referring more to the general tone of each one's work. Tomino's referred to as "Kill 'em All" for a reason. Well, three reasons (Ideon, Zeta Gundam, and Victory Gundam)
Mein Freund, I came out as both a geek *and* a loser a looooong time ago. And trust me, your generalization is *far* from accurate. Despite being a nerd of...biblical proportions, I have enough of an interest in the NBA to post in the Spurs section. I'm not giving you **** here...just telling you that you're wrong. And a little narrow-minded. Filthy Oldtype.I have never seen a more obvious "I'm coming out as a geek or a loser
I hope I get alot of $h!t...but my generalization is pretty accurate.
Dragonball and Dragonball Z are the best animes in my opinion. I didn't like Dragonball GT.
Some of the Dragonball & Z movies are also great to watch.
I've got the full collection of this anime, from serie, movies to specials and the full comic book. I also own some video games from DBZ and they kick ass.
eureka 7 is pretty good
Emphatic agreement on the VGs. Say what you want about DBZ's quality as a series, but you can't deny it makes a damn good fighting game. Tenkaichi 2 is SO DAMN ADDICTING!
Akira is one of the best movies of all time, not even limiting it to Anime. Everything about it is almost perfect.
VHunter D Bloodlust was pretty tight too.
DBZ is my favorite anime series ever, I remember coming home after pre-calculus honors, and watching Goku fight Freiza over an entire month's worth of episodes. They fought all freaking month...I couldn't concentrate on the math cuz I was just wondering how bad goku would get his ass kicked this day. Vegeta = crunk.
did you see metropolis and steamboy?
I know its an old thread, but Neon Genesis: Evangelion gets my vote - fantastic series, even if it was only 1 season... Brilliant animation, story, everything. Loved it.
Gundam>Eva. But yes, Eva is pretty badass.
Yeah, cartoons are only for kids, geeks or losers. Haven't heard that generalisation before...I have never seen a more obvious "I'm coming out as a geek or a loser
I hope I get alot of $h!t...but my generalization is pretty accurate.I bet you don't know what the you're talking about. Ever seen Ghost in the S , Ninja Scroll or anything by Miyazaki?
Shagia - fair enough, but trust me as someone who lived there that Miyazaki is considered above all others, even Tezuka and Tomino, as the God of anime in modern Japan. He's like Matt Groening x1,000,000 over there.
I own the Eva season but I don't have the movie.
, now your talking japanese to me. How many dvds did all that take up? How bout I mail you some dvds and you copy them for me?
