The Anime Thread!
 
You a fan? What series' have you watched? Currently following one? What's your genre of choice? All that general stuff.

I was hooked on Toonami back in the day, but when its popularity started phasing out, my interest more or less did as well. Just got caught up in school & other stuff. But I watched almost everything on there... Big O, Outlaw Star, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Dragonball Z, etc. Plus I was (and still am) a huge fan of Pokemon. After most of 'em went off the air I was into other things, playing music mostly, and anime was the farthest thing from my mind.

More recently though I've been diving into it all over again. When I moved out of state I had to find a few new things to occupy myself with, and after a while some of 'em got stale so I started going to conventions. In doing so I saw how invaluable certain series' were to fans, kinda like (most of) us with the turtles. Plus I realized there was a lot more genres than just giant robot fighting shows (which I find incredibly boring usually). Not long after I got Netflix, which happens to have an extensive selection of anime so I gave a few shows a shot and since then I've been tearing through bunches of 'em one after another. EDIT: Now I have Roku, which runs Crunchyroll & other anime services, which have subbed series' old & new. Much better. I've become a terrible weeaboo since I made this thread years back.

Here's what I've watched so far (as of 7/4/2014) in the order of viewing-

Kiss X Sis

Anime sucks.

...these days it does, anyway. I love the 90's and early 00's, though. It's especially awesome if you turn on the English dub. Hilarity ensues every time.

Howl's Moving Castle

Sure I'm forgetting some, just too many to list.

I was just expressing an opinion without providing a cookie-cutter list, dude.

CyberCubed 11-13-2011 04:23 PM

I am not much of an anime fan to be honest. I watched Pokemon and Dragonball Z like most people did but that was the extent. Never bothered to get into anything else.

I was always more into videogames and Superhero cartoons.

SherlockJr 11-13-2011 05:39 PM

Used to be a big weaboo (for those who don't know, that term refers to an obnoxious anime fan who thinks Japan is the greatest place on Earth and throws random Japanese words into their vocabulary) back in my first two years of high school. I've since grown out of that, but I do like animation in general, so that includes anime as well. The only series I really like are Princess Tutu and Revolutionary Girl Utena. I also love Ghibli to death.:)

TheCanadiandrome 11-13-2011 05:55 PM

for me:

Dragonball
Dragonball Z
Dragonball GT, although not that big a fan
Sailor Moon
Various Pokemon Series'
Yugi-Oh, although to, not that big a fan

ToTheNines 11-13-2011 09:58 PM

Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop are the only two I own on DVD.

Lethal Lullaby 07-12-2012 04:00 PM

I know this thread is a little old but I just have to know something real quick. Is Deathnote any good? Because that L character seems interesting and I think I might watch it.

愛 07-12-2012 04:07 PM

Death Note is good, but there are some plot holes in it. The story, while it tries really hard to be believable, the main character has the most durable plot armor I've ever seen in my life.

zkarlette 07-12-2012 04:13 PM

I really recommend Death Note, if you watch the movies too , you'll love "L".

Yes, DeathNote is really great, it is considered the top modern Anime by many

GK Punk 07-12-2012 10:18 PM

Death Note is pretty great. It's one of my favorites actually. (I Even own a replica of the Note Book.) It's a psychological Anime with a mix of the super natural more than anything so if that's your thing, you'll dig it.

Mr.Turtle 07-12-2012 10:24 PM

death note the anime is really good. the music n the voice casts n stuff i mean. together it's really good.

GK Punk 07-12-2012 10:28 PM

The music is fantastic in Death Note.

Mr.Turtle 07-12-2012 10:36 PM

not the ed tho...

GK Punk 07-12-2012 10:38 PM

Both of Ending themes are great.

Mr.Turtle 07-12-2012 10:45 PM

not really.

Just got Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? in the mail. Beautiful animation. I just wish there was more action in it.

Mr.Turtle 07-13-2012 09:27 PM

anyways im not a anime fan at all but i have to admit that a few of them r really neat.

Allio 07-13-2012 09:41 PM

Lethal Lullaby 07-21-2012 09:23 PM

My thoughts on what I've seen on "Death Note": This anime is actually pretty interesting. :) I already know my top three characters too. :tgrin:
  1. L.
  2. Matsuda
  3. Ryuk

Cure 07-21-2012 09:36 PM

The only anime worth watching is where every other character name ends in -mon.

Moonlight1102 07-21-2012 09:39 PM

One of my favorite animes has to be Bo Bo Bo BoBoBoBo.

Mr.Turtle 07-21-2012 10:11 PM

I hope you have reasons to back that claim up, broseph.

Mr.Turtle 07-22-2012 12:15 PM

i like dragon too but i dont quite buy the graphics. it just looks so out of date.

Redeemer 07-25-2012 01:20 AM

I have been watching Deadman's Wonderland on Cartoon Network on Toonami and it has been really good, I was unsure at first, but there is something about the show that keeps me watching it

Shreddhead 07-25-2012 01:29 AM

So Ive recently, last 5 years, gotten into anime a little. I grew up watching shows like:
Dragonball
Dragonball Z
Pokemon
Digimon

But now i have a true appreciation for how amazing this form of entertainment can be thanks mainly to 2 shows
COWBOY BEBOP
and
TRIGUN

I cannot tell you how much i enjoyed these series, and now im perusing others. The next few that im going to try to watch through are:
Outlaw Star
Full Metal Alchemist
Wolf's Rain

Shreddhead 07-25-2012 01:35 AM

Sorry for the double post, but i had to put these two intros up.

Cowboy Bebop



Trigun

Mona_Lisa 07-25-2012 02:28 PM
