Anime

[Mister Sinister]

Yeah, cartoons are only for kids, geeks or losers. Haven't heard that generalisation before... 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.

Point taken. I mean, I <3 Miyazaki's work, but, as a mechaphile, Tomino's going to hold a higher position.

Switching topics, anyone in here like Yu Yu Hakusho?

Akira, Steamboy, Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Porco Rosso, Ghost in the S , anything by Miyazaki or Katsuhiro Otomo.

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.

You're posting on the internet on a site about the Spurs. Everyone here is a loser geek. Plus Akira alone is more in-depth than 99% of the stuff that comes out of Hollywood.

Fair enough.

I love mecha too, but my faves are the simple old Macross VF-1s. Very cool. The Hovertanks in Southern Cross were cool too (although not so attractive in Battloid mode).

See, for me, it doesn't get much better than the classic MS-06 Zaku II.

Yeah, classic.

I was also into Battletech the wargame and there are some VERY cool mecha in the battletech universe, from the classic Shadow Hawk or Archer to the Clan Mad Cat.

SEED trilogy, theres another one on teh way

stuff kira, asuran is a superior in any way....


oh last year i also watch Ouran High School, which is a bout a poor girl who attends a rich school, then joins a boyz club whose job is to cater to the female gurls at school, and they dunno she is a gurl....this is in the process of becoming a live action series...

GTO was also good.

Girl has an "i", dude. You're making us Aussies look bad.

That sounds like a remake of Ranma, but without the Panda-bear father.

Ugh. Don't remind me. Kira "Jesus" Yamato needs to die in a colony drop. UC>AU.

Dragonball Z - I agree with Duff, the Japanese version is way better and I'm in the process of downloading them all. It's probably the best action cartoon ever made.

Besides that the ones I've seen and liked are: sing, Ninja Scroll and X.

Disagree 100%! There is nothing I like about the Japanese version. For sure I can appreciate Akira Toriyama (the creator) bringing to the world such a great cartoon, but the English version is where it's at. As dumb as some of the names sound, they're even worse in the Japanese version. Kuriran sounds awful IMO. In addition, they seem to like to give every character except for Piccolo and King Kao very feminine voices. The music is also atrocious. The English version - especially near the end like the Majin Buu Saga - is some of the best editing ever. The music, the sense of emotion brought to the table by the voice actors and the sense of desperation in both really bring DBZ to the point of artistic. I can live without the excessive blood and swearing; that's not what DBZ is about to me.

And that's pretty much the only anime I've seen other than Vampire Hunter D. All the other animes seem to have a lot of robots and swords.

And yes, I know I'm the only person in the world that likes the English version.

3 words...

Samurai Pizza Cats

yeh i totally agree

the producer of that series is a bag

asuran was perfect for main lead, then he pulls a 180 on him and selects that other emo ot who acts impulsely....look at how many times he gets pwned by asuran or other pilots....in many of his fights in destiny he goes seed, and asuran only went seed 2 times in 50eps still pwns.


samurai pizza cats, yes that pwns the white one

[TDMVPDPOY]

try eyeshield 21...if ur into nfl football

[MannyIsGod]

So I just watched the first 2 movies in the remakes of Evangelion and ing WOW. Total improvement IMO. I love the new take on things.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Good bump. LOL at you only seeing Akira for the first time in 2005.

I tried to get into Gundam 00 when they show AniMondays on SyFy, but the plots are always so deep, so political, that if you wait a few weeks between episodes, you get kind of lost.

Still haven't seen any Eva. What did you like about the new movies? I remember hearing how that show was a weaker Gundam.

[MannyIsGod]

The movies are tighter. They managed to make them more dramatic and intense than the show because of that. Its pretty bad ass. You should watch the show then watch the new movies, IMO. Some parts of the show get really lost in translation but I still thought it was amazing.

I watched some Gundam and I liked it but I never got into it the way I got into Evangelion.

[DieMrBond]

I only found out about the new Eva movies like last month... super slow, haven't kept up with Anime / Manga at all.

Now i DEFINITELY have to check them out, thanks for reminding me Manny

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah I only found out about them because I saw the blurays on amazon and I was like wtf is this.

[koriwhat]

anime is for s! no wonder you love that MannyIsGay.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Come on, koriwhat, you know you've jacked off to hentai anime porn at least a few times in your day.

Those Japanese know their .
