Nightbat Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 Already did a search on A7's infamous Anime reviews (unfortunatly, the old boards are still offline, problem is,..he had one review there of something I really liked) But couldn't find anything interesting any ideas for me? These are some I already have: A-ko, BGC, Steel Angel Kurumi, Nadesico, Macross & DYRL? (ofcourse), Mahoromatic, Noir, Appleseed, X/1999 (Movie), Escaflowne (movie), New Dominion Tank police, Akira now I'm looking for something less dark than Akira or X/1999, most enjoyable so far have been SA Kurumi and Mahoro, macross and BGC are a bit the "Inbetweens" So it better be "good story" or "good fun" or both (Ecchi is ok by me) Quote
joke-machine Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 A couple I would recomend-- Perfect Blue: Super trippy mind games, pretty dark story. Neon Genesis Evangelion: Another intense plot driven action anime, one of the best ones ever made. Ninja Scroll: Fun action without too deep a plot. Doomed Megopolis: Another great horror/action flick with a real dark element that makes it messed up in sooo many ways. Quote
Agent ONE Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 I recomend Macross... everything is good except for that 7 part. Quote
Nightbat Posted November 19, 2003 Author Posted November 19, 2003 (edited) gentlemen... the punchline: These are some I "already have" : Edited November 19, 2003 by Nightbat® Quote
imode Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 If you want to watch new shows, I recommend Planetes. Low on action, high on character development. Quote
treatment Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 (edited) ohhh, too many to suggest... well, here's some good ones. not so dark, but thoroughly enjoyable. in region-1, too. [*] Dai-Guard [*] Irresponsible Captain Tylor [*] Ranma 1/2 first season Oh, yeah. Mahoro r0x0r! Edited November 19, 2003 by treatment Quote
J A Dare Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 So it better be "good story" Anything by Studio Ghibli...although I prefer their older stuff, e.g. Nausicaa, Laputa, Porco Rosso, etc. or "good fun" or both Tenchi Muyo OVAs! (Ecchi is ok by me) Sakura Diaries! Quote
JRock Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 If you can stand Romantic Comedies, I reccomend Ai Yori Aoshi. Very entertaining. Heat Guy J's pretty good. If you like Ol Skool Anime, You gotta check out Aura Battler Dunbine (One of Tomino's creations with Miyatake designing the mechs). Licensed by Royalty's looking real sweet. Got the show on preorder myself. Quote
Skippy438 Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 I enjoyed Full Metal Panic alot. I've only seen one ep of Supersylph Yukikaze, but the visuals were great and it looked very promising. Quote
91WhiskeyM6 Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 I'm digging Full Metal Panic right now. Quote
Ali Sama Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 The Escaflowne movie was great. sorry to say this but tha tone sucked. the character design was bad it self sicn ehtey changed it. they changed all th ehcaracters adn their pail comparisons to their tv counterparts to th epoin tha tthey ruiend alot of them.

JRock Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 (edited) Crusher Joe is very good. .........FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!! -Triumph the Dog Edited November 20, 2003 by JRock Quote
jonwayne Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 My personal favourites are: Slam Dunk BT'X Initial D Quote
gnollman Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 (edited) Sakura Diaries! This is a great one, but pick up the Collectors edition instead. It makes more sense and is uncut... If you're looking for Comedy.... Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai (not in distribution yet, but licensed) Azumanga Daioh (likewise) FLCL GTO Card Captor Sakura The Ping Pong Club Iketeru Futari (not licensed, fansub only) If you're looking for Sci-fi action..... Evangelion Crest of the Stars Banner of the Stars Banner of the Stars II Outlaw Star Action/Supernatural Action.... Neo-Ranga Gunsmith Cats: Bulletproof Cowboy Bebop Fantasy.... Rune Soldier Louie (great comedy to this one, too) Hentai.... Koihime La Blue Girl (always a classic) Sakura Diaries (light hentai, nothing overt) Romantic comedy, etc.... His and Her Circumstances Onegai Teacher Onegai Twins Edited November 20, 2003 by gnollman Quote
gerwalk25 Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Crusher Joe is very good. Ditto. I heard about that title (i.e Movie) a long time ago and I just bought it recently as a set it came with the two OVA's as well. ~G25 Quote
Nightbat Posted November 20, 2003 Author Posted November 20, 2003 Thanks for the info guys decided for the moment to try out FLCL and Sakura Diaries though the term "any anime is good anime" isn't true (it used to be) It surely will be bette than the crap kiddyshows that I can watch this moment Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 something that made me laugh is photon (I think it's as short as FLCL), and duel. A cool series to watch is rurouni kenshin. Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Yea I would recommend FLCL as well and Rahxephon, Vandread, Full Metal Panic. I dunno if I can recommend Lain though I am almost all the way through it and I personally am not impressed. Rob Quote
Keith Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 There's lots of great stuff out there. -Galaxy Express 999 -Space Cruiser Yamato (not the starblazers version) -Giant Robo (there's a great set that was put out in Korea with english subs) -Arcadia Of My Youth -Orguss -0079 Gundam movies set -Zeta Gundam -Victory Gundam -Gundam Seed -Macross 7 -Mahoromatic -Mospeada -Mazinkaiser -Cowboy Bebop -Another vote for Irresponsible Captain Tylor So much good stuff out right now.

Max Jenius Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Akira(Strictly from an academic standpoint) Ghost in the Shell(Amazing, even today) Ninja Scroll(Great animation, classic tale) Inu-Yasha(Action, comedy, romance... good survey of genres) Cowboy BeBop(mmm... Faye) SDF: Macross(duh) Macross Plus(duh) Macross Zero(duh) Macross 7(I don't care what anyone says, I like it. So does a friend of mine that isn't even a Macross fan) Ranma½(Gets way cheesy... I like it a lot less than M7 if that says anything) Love Hina(Fan service.) Neon Genesis Evangelion(If you realize that it isn't about the giant robots, you'll be ok) Big O(If you realize that it IS about the giant robots, you'll be ok) Robotech(Watch it after you've seen the original SDF: Macross, interesting comparison) Mononoke Hime Naussica Quote
zeus the zentran Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 I'd reccomend classics like mazinger z,Galaxy Express,My youth in Arcadia(captain harlock movie},utena,orguss,megazone 23 pt1 and 2,night on the galactic railroad,and arion. Quote
treatment Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Thanks for the info guysdecided for the moment to try out FLCL and Sakura Diaries though the term "any anime is good anime" isn't true (it used to be) It surely will be bette than the crap kiddyshows that I can watch this moment Be forewarned that there are two versions of Sakura Diaries. [*] the altered individual discs (4 discs) [*] the collector's edition brick (2 discs) The individual discs ($24.95/disc), iirc, were the censored version, i.e. digital bikinis and stuff. I think the subtitles and the english-dub clashes/different on many levels, as reported by many sites before. The Collector's Edition, however, was the actual uncensored version and contains a better and different subtitle-track. It also does not contain any english-dubs. It's the better deal of the two since I got my copy long time ago for like $30. You might get it around between $30 - $40 on retail. ---treatment-- Quote
Commander McBride Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Let me be another to reccomment Full Metal Panic. I'm up to the 3rd DVD< and loving it, I'm gonna go pick the 4th up today, I think. Quote

The Collector's Edition, however, was the actual uncensored version and contains a better and different subtitle-track. It also does not contain any english-dubs. Believe it or not, I got the Collection (R1) with English subtitles for €37 (If I can get a boxset I always buy that, rather than shelling €€€ out for loose discs) As for English dubs: I never switch those on (if possible) kinda weird though.... $100,- for digital pixels,..or $40,- for full frontal nudity censorship must really be expensive Quote
MrDisco Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 i have both sets. what i really really really want is the manga translated :| Quote
bandit29 Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) If ya want to watch a show with some balls, check out Berserk.

drifand Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Gasaraki!!! Excellent 'real world' mecha fights in urban settings, never mind that plot-wise it's mostly a clone of Evangelion. Quote
