An interesting anime movie is Tekkonkinkreet. It's weird but I liked it. It won several awards across the globe in different festivals as well.

I'm a little unfamiliar with all of this since I originally came from the Fullmetal Alchemist section on War-Cry ( when it still existed... people really should give out announcements to the members before they go changing partnerships >.<; )

But if this is an anime/manga thread...I'd have to say that my favourites are Cowboy Bebop, Ouran Host Club and Fullmetal Alchemist.

how about listing what youve seen, liked/disliked, and the genre(s) of anime that you like. from there, we can all give you suggestions.

@greever: In regards to that site you were making, im interested in trying to pick it up. Do you still have the original source code, and is it a free domain or paid? Ive been bored at work as of late, and would be interested in getting something together.

Greever:
I have a horrible admission to make.

I watch one piece...

...and I like it.

I used to like the old english dubs, simply because the voices. When I generally like the story of an anime/manga I'll take to reading/watching it in the subbed form. But the show has like 400 freaking episodes doesn't it? I just gave up and stopped watching it altogether. Besides, they don't even have the same voice actors for the new dubbed episodes they're showing. I flicked it on the other night for a few minutes and was like "WTF is going on? Why does everyone sound so weird" Then I went to eat some face in TF2

I'm pretty sure myself or someone else has posted this before in a thread about a similar topic, but here we go.

its what they do best =X

Haha... yeah. :-(

I only watch the japanese sub'd episodes, and I have watched every. single. one.

GAWD IT TOOK FOREVER TO CATCH UP!

Three sword style ftw.

Oh, and no, I don't have the code for the site. I was paying for the domain at the time and I ended up losing it the last time my PC decided it needed to be reformatted.

Sorry.

If you decide to have a little fun and make another site let me know, I'll help out where I can.

alrighty greevy, im relearning dreamweaver because i really cant stand writing pure code out. dreamweaver makes it fun.

on another note, i just watched Azumanga Daioh again, i cant believe i forgot how funny it was.

hey thanks to the one that suggested watching Serial Experiments Lain. that anime is awesome!

confusing though right? i believe Inari suggested it, and i backed it up.

it is a bit confusing when they end an episode in the middle of some progression, and then the next episode starts off at different place and you have no idea whats going on and what has happened. but they do a very good job on clearing everything up in the end though, something that so many animes fail horribly at.

Now go watch Hunter X Hunter in its entirety if you haven't already.

Im actually downloading it again because its one series i have the "hots" for.

Greever:

i tried, but after watching an 8 year old kid fishing up a "monster" fish i decided i'd keep to something more traditional. i guess you would like that kind of stuff, seeing as to how you seemed to like that Beck anime, no offense.

No, actually I forced myself to watch almost the entire first 20 episodes of Hunter X Hunter before it got good. Then they started killing people and stuff. You just have to stick with it.

I like Beck cuz I like guitars/rock. Of all people i can't believe YOU don't like beck.

like i said, i've only watched the first ep of Beck. what is the point to it if they are just going along with some kid's pubescent life? i would much sooner watch santa barbara.
and just because they have some dude in there that plays in a rock band doesn't make it worth watching. just because i'm a fan of the guitar doesn't mean i like playing guitar hero nor does it mean that i watch documentaries about the lives of famous rock celebraties.
do you really enjoy watching how other people fare in their lives? i sure don't. it makes me sick.

Yikes... If I just based what I thought of an anime off of one or two episodes I wouldn't like the majority of anime that I have watched. One Piece for instance, I didn't fine much remarkable about the first episode or the majority of the first season of it; but it is quite an impressive series and story as a whole.

The first 4 or 5 episodes of Beck are kinda boring, but it gets better. I like how they incorporated a lot of musical influences from Cobain to the Rolling Stones, they even touch on the Beatles.

I don't play guitar hero either btw, and probably will not. I will watch a documentary about someone's life if I find it interesting.

Patience and coping with the void of instant gratification in some things can be tough.

if you like Comedy, Drama, Romance type animes, I highly suggest Clannad and Kanon. Clannad has so many bits of random humor it makes you want to watch it over and over again. Kanon is very good as well with the humor, but its a bit more serious.

I know it's not anime but I've been watching it lately and I can't wait for more episodes.

Avatar the freaking air bender. I <3 that show. Great story & animation, funny/well developed characters. We need more shows like it =p

for a show made by Americans, actually researching martial arts to put with the animations, its well done. The story could use improvements, but i havent actually seen past chapter 1.

Yeah, for a series that's on Nickelodeon I'll have to admit it is impressive; though still not quite near the quality of japanese animation.

If you haven't watched past season one you really need to check out the other episodes. It's got a great story, deep character -> man vs self / man vs man and all other forms of conflict. Different twists and exciting arcs/battles. Even Sokka, a character with no bending powers and is basically just comic relief goes through a period where he trains himself so he becomes more than just a stupid gimick for the show. (He makes me lol also). Lots of romance and romantic twists and such.

I think the animation is done really well personally. You make it sound like every japanese anime is of better quality than it, just graphically speaking. I like its style a lot more than many animes I've seen. I'd watch a kagillion avatars before I'd sit through an entire episode of something like the prince of Tennis or some crapspasm like that.

No, I didn't say it was bad; I think what I've seen of it is quite good actually. I personally prefer the animation/artwork/style of artists like those that produce anime similar to Noien, Gatz, Berserk, Claymore, early Naruto episodes, and several more that I can't even think of righ t off hand. They offer a lot of variety and detail and don't have to dumb down and rush through their plots/storylines for an American audience.

Trust me, there is probably more bad anime than there is bad american animation; just based on the sheer abundance of animation that japan turns out. If you grew up in the 80's as a kid you'd notice the disturbing trend of eliminating cartoons from television almost competely. I remember getting up at 5a.m. on a saturday morning and watching cartoons until 4 or 5 o'clock in the evening. Good luck finding saturday morning cartoons now though...

Japan? Any given time of day (even primetime) you can find quality animation on TV. And no, Southpark and Family Guy (as wonderful and entertaining as they are!) do not really fall into the category of "quality" animation.

So yeah... I think I'm gonna try to dig up some He-Man, Transformers, Go-Bots, Wildcatz, and G.I. Joe now from the interweb. :-D

Those last few shows you described all eat face. I misses them <3 GI Joe always confused me though. When I was little blue = good and red = bad; in GI joe I always thought it was so backwards! Never could tell what was going on.

So I take it you've seen Red VS. Blue then?

lol

Greever:

RvB is godly.

Not enough of them. I watched mostof their first season and a few sparratic episodes here and there, but I haven't gotten to watch any others than those few

the internet episode is ftw. YOU WANT A LARGER PENIS?? WHERE DO YOU WANT IT??
had me rofling

lol R v B is the best ever, I remember when my friend first showed them to me, I couldn't stop watching them for like 3 days straight.

any idea where i can find an active torrent for the earlier naruto episodes? like 1-100? i wish i had never deleted them

Not sure about active torrents, but you can DL via FTP at National Anime for pretty cheap. Narutofan just did something screwy and turned all their sites into some new crappy network/ring of sites and it messed up my billing, otherwise I would give you my username/PW and let you download them all direct there.

any idea which group's subs they have for naruto at National Anime?

I think it is Dattebayo, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to confirm when I'm at home on my PC and can check via my FTP client.

i need someting awesome to fill in the gap that claymore left. anyone can suggest something? i'm down to just naruto and random animes i try from time to time.
