The Anime Chat Thread (Nerd Warning)

Dude yes, I'm actually watching Champloo at the moment and I'm going through the Gundam series.

Good series:

[chadthestampede]

Just avoid G Gundam.

Yeah, that is one I plan on avoiding. So far I have watched Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed/Destiny, and Gundam 00.

I gotta get back into watching anime. I've gotten out of it in the past few years. There's almost too many of them though, it's rare that I find one I'll get into. The popular ones like Bleach and Death Note just drag out too long too be good.

I've heard that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was pretty good. Also what are the Evangelion 'rebuilds' you mentioned earlier? The only thing close I've seen is the movie.

My favorite series by far. Must sees in my opinion (if you like dark fucked up anime).
Mnemosyne
Kemonozume
Death Note
Elfen Lied

These ones could've been better, but definitely not the worst.
Darker than Black
Blue Gender
Escaflowne
Ghost in the shell
Samurai Champloo
Princess mononoke


Personally can't stand most popular anime, if anybody can suggest some other good dark anime please do.

[A Sucked Orange]

Classics for me.

Akira
Ghost in the Shell 1,2,3
Monokoke Hime
Evangelion

FF7 ftw too.

The rebuilds are a new set of movies that use an alternate story. The original plan is 4 movies although only 2 have been released. The movies are 1.11 you are (not) alone and the second, 2.22 you can (not) advance. They are really good and the animation is hands down the best around.

Evangelion is my absolute favorite of all time, and the rebuilds are absolutely superb, even if the plot is watered down a bit.

Ummm.. rebuilds? Say what? What means this "rebuilds"???

And shit, I totally forgot about Samurai Shamploo! I was addicted to that shit when it was on Toonami back in the day, that and Big O.

The same makers are making new movies using an "alternate story". The first movie follows the original story close, up to about episode 6 or so, before Asuka shows up. The second movie drastically deviates from the original story. The animation is the same style as original but is really improved.







Also features a new character, Mari.



The way they decided to make unit 01 glow is fucking stellar.

I got all of Initial D, all DBZ movies, and a whole bunch of other things. I have been into anime since I was about 6-7. Before I even knew what it was. Voltron and Tranzor Z. ( I think that is how you spell it?)

There is so much good stuff out there, and the Japanese are very sick, sick, crazy ppl. lol...but they make good shows.

[Holland]

I was around when Toonami first came out, in the afternoon block anyway. So it started there for me.

[brainspo0n]

Lupin III
Gunsmith Cats
Riding Bean

I like Initial D, I read the mangas for a while, but damn the distribution of this franchise in America SUCKS

[chadthestampede]

I'd be willing to bet that I'm the only one here that drudged through all of Final Fantasy Unlimited and G Gundam.
