how are these anime shows?...

[khyronic]

Just asking for quick thoughts on the following shows. If you've seen any or all as I am leaning towards watching some. Thanks in advance!

Nadesico

Crusher Joe

F-Zero TV

Ninja Scroll TV

Ghost In the Shell TV(Is this one even finished?...)

Kabuto TV

[Panon]

F-Zero TV

Bad enough that nobody is even bothering to subtitle it.

Ninja Scroll TV

Poor.

Ghost In the Shell TV(Is this one even finished?...)

Excellent. Still ongoing.

Nadesico: Pretty good -- kinda a sci-fi spoof that turns serious like Macross.

Crusher Joe -- never saw the TV/OAV, but he manga's good. Same universe as the Dirty Pair, only these WWWA Trouble Consultants are competent at doing their job with out blowing up planets

Ghost in the Shell: SAC: Nice political thriller/cyberpunk action.

Those are the ones that I've seen in one form or another.

Nadesico

- Great satire on fans and fandom mascerading as a giant robot SF series. Some of the more subtle parts require knowledge of the history of anime and science fiction.

Crusher Joe

- Classic film/OVAs with lots of action and an intelligent plot. Good animation, but the designs are dated (whatever that means).

Ghost In the Shell TV(Is this one even finished?...)

- It's still airing, as far as I know. They only do a couple episodes a month. What I've seen of it is good though. More comparable to the manga than the movie.

The others I've not seen.

There is no TV. Just one film and two OVAs. Also, it's not in the same universe as Dirty Pair, except that Dirty Pair also exist as fictional characters in Crusher Joe. Both the Crusher Joe and Dirty Pair novels were written by the same author.

Ninja Scroll TV is the greatest comedy ever, I mean I fell out of my chair laughing. What's that? it wasn't supposed to be funny?

Yeah the TV show is pretty poor, though entertaining if your willing to MS3K it. That's what my friend and I did when we 1st saw it.

The Ghost in the Shell series is another matter. It's alot closer to the manga than the movie is. GITS SAC also manages to be entertaining and reasonably intelligent at the same time.

off topic, but not completely.

It seems you're looking for new anime to like !

I like those series in case you don't know them :

Planetes : story in space with high accuracy about space technics, realistic story in 2070, when walking on moon is something every body can do, but still, dangerous

Gunslinger girl : story of young girls (10-14 years old) brainwashed with mechanized bodies (a few bones and muscles are carbon fiber!!) and they're used as "tools" to kill mafia guys by an Italian secret agency. Actions takes place in Italy. Good graphism, good characters and guns, extremely good music intro/outro as well.

Area 88 : story about planes (Tomcats, Migs, Skyhawkes, Corsaire II, Harriers...) piloted by mercenaries for a country in war with another one. It's the story of a japanese reporter that is sent to the base #88 to make an articles/photographs of one of the mercenary, who is japanese as well. Planes graphisms are perfect (CG), story is a bit poor, characters are poor too but there's only 3 ep availlable at animesuki so I guess they will develop the characters later.

Daphne in the brilliant blue : nice bimbos with bare naked bodies. No other remark

I like other series but it's not in the same category fight/robots...
