I can't believe I forgot to mention this in my last post, but there's a series that was just completed in Japan, and it's one of the best anime I've ever seen. It's not quite perfect but it's damn near that level.

Fate / Stay Night

It's hard to explain the premise without it sounding totally cheesy, but um..
Basically, it's about the Holy Grail War that occurs roughly every decade in which 7 Masters summons 7 Servants who fight each other in order to attempt to determine who is worthy to touch the Holy Grail and have their wishes granted.

Lol, I know. I still think it's one of the best jokes the show has. lol.

I still haven't finished the first season (still in the semi-finals of the First years baking tournament) I still need to download the rest.

Now here's a good idea I just thought of. A few videos to give you all an idea of what City Hunter is.

I personally think it's a great anime, and I also think that too many anime fans haven't discovered it yet, which is a shame. It really is quite good and not one to be missed.

You can find alot of info on City Hunter here

Now, on to the videos. They're quite short, lasting about a minute or two.

Enjoy! ^_^

Currently, in the US, only the first two OVAs are available on DVD and the Japanese voice track is not included (I usually prefer English dubs, but the one for Devilman is just BAD).

I'd recommend getting a bootleg of the 3 OVAs. They're quite good.

The 70's TV series is fun in a campy, VERY 70's Speed Racer sorta way (but ith more gore and nudity).

DO NOT TOUCH the live action Devilman movie. It goes the route of the likes of X the Movie and crams a decade's worth of story into an hour and a half, making some of the worst changes and casting decisions I've ever seen. Much of the CGI is also utter sh**. Don't bother.

I missed this post, I have the Devilman DVD but it has no subtitles only a horrible English track! Gah, I wanted to see the movie too haha but I figured it would be awful. The Casshern movie was awesome though, but I never saw the anime for it.

*pokes head in* Yay! An anime thread!! *plonks down on a beanbag*

Alright, this is my list so far -

Fullmetal Alchemist - Interesting and uniqe characters, a story that twists and turns like a snake, some kick-ass fight scenes, and more short jokes than you can poke a stick at...number one in my book. Definatly. B)
Trigun - I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but this one is definatly worth checking out. A uniqe blend of western and sci-fi, with a lot of guns, and a quarel between two brothers. Definatly worth checking out if you haven't done so already. Also, in each episode, keep your eyes peeled for a black cat that manages to sneek its way into each episode *chuckles*
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Each episode kinda stands on it's two feet, but follows the same group of people. Set in our world in the future, we follow a group of people defending the world against criminals with state-of-the-art technology. Also, guys might like to note the sexy star.

Fruits Basket - I've only watched an episode, but I like it. Very popular, it is about a girl who finds and befriends a group of people who are cursed; if they are hugged by one of the opposite sex, they turn into one of the animals of the zodiac, like a dog, rat, boar, lamb (one guy can turn into a cat, but he is an exception. Its nice to get away from the fighting once in awhile and have some light-hearted moments, and this is my retreat.

And...well, it's not an anime to my knowledge, but it IS a manga, so I'll post it - Hana Kimi (For you in Full Blossom). This is my main retreat for those mushy moments. I don't like them all the time, but I just can't stop reading this. A Japanese/American girl by the name of Mizuki is in love with a high jumper in Japan. What does she do? She finds out where he attends school, cuts her hair, and dons a demin vest to hide her chest, and leaves for Japan to attend the high jumper's school. The catch? It's an all boy's school. Misadventures insure, along with the cute moments between Mizuki and the High Jumper (Sano Izumi).

...that was irrelivent, but hey, it could become an anime. (^_^

I saw a few episodes of Fruits Basket, but I think I prefer the manga version... I think the whole Zodiac mythology is fascinating, but Tohru annoys the heck out of me wiht her constant philosophizing and soul-searching.

Kaneda · 08-21-2006, 07:43 AM

Here's some I like......

Akira (it's a movie but watch it you'll love it)
Those Who Hunt Elves
Cowboy Bebop
Ghost in the Shell (the movies are better than the show)

Pretear
New Cutey Honey

There's more but I'm done thinking of them.

Pokemon, Digimon, Dragon Ball, Fullmetal Alchemist and Naruto are ironic yet delightfully hilarious and therefore some of the best anime cartoon shows ever made.

Peanut · 08-22-2006, 11:35 PM

Digimon. Now and forever.

*Drtooth* · 08-29-2006, 03:08 PM

I don't wanna say "best" so I'll just say personal favorites.

Akira, Ghjost... all that stuff is a given...

NAruto
One Piece
Bo-bobo (If you knew me, you'd know the reason)
Dragon Ball (I liked them all, but the classic Kid Goku stories from the 80's are my favorite)
original 1980's Kinnikuman (I kinda liked Ultimate Muscle to an extent, but it's a poor substitue for the real thing. At least in Anime form. The Ultimate Muscle Manga was shockingly good)... even though I have never really seen it.
Lupin III
Saint Seiya
and Ranma.

Oh... and Dr. Slump... the damn guy looks almost exactly like me. It's freaky!)

*Fang Wolf* · 08-29-2006, 06:35 PM

Mine are this:

Transformers Energon and Transformers Cybertron

I'm not really a fan of anime but I stumbled across this series last year and absolutely loved it.
