I am watching Naruto from the beginning - I am just about through to the end of Season 6 now! I love it. I plan to watch all of Avatar next, then probably Bleach and FMA.

The reason I'm watching Naruto and Avatar first is I have pre-teens who watch with me, so I wanted to start with something age-appropriate. :)

Seriously? Are you watching the Japanese version with subtitles or the watered down N. American release of Naruto? There are some pretty graphic/bloody fights throughout the series.

I'm more of a mecha guy. Been enjoying Gundam 00 and Gurren Lagann, myself.

Hey, what ep did that whole rescue Orihime arc end? Or rather, when did this thing with the assassins and their wacky katanas began?

Ok new to the manga/anime.. my experience includes Full Metal Alchemist, Apple Seed, Naruto(1st show), Ghost in the shell: SAC, and others I can't spell or remember the name too sad I know.

Does anyone have any information on Naruto shippende (spelling) english dub is coming. I can read subtitles but I like to watch the show not read it. I got a major headache trying to do that with FMA.

Please let me know if I'm just dumb and missed the news of it also.

i dont think the dub will be coming for a while due to the sheer size of the first one (thank you crappy fillers), but i could be wrong.

i was at blockbuster today scanning the 4 for $20 bin, and i stumbled acorss 2 animes, was wondering if ether would be worth actualy watching.
First 1 is "Angel Sanctuary: episodes 1-3" , the art on the cover kinda lookes like work from clamp, or whoever made the x1999 movie.
The next 1 is "Karas,The Prophecy" the cover has what apears to be a samurai mech? (awsome)

i bought them because nether are DUB's, which is usualy a good sign. Any info would be great, thanks ^^

just watched Karas, i realy liked it, even with 1/2 of it being full CG. Thought it was a stand alone movie, but the ending was basicly during the money shot, very abrupt, I just hope theres more to it, i want to see more ^^.

Over the many years I have watched LOTS.. of anime and not being a sheep to trends I wasnt a fan of Naruto or DBZ. My introduction to anime came at the hands of the like of Akira, the Robotechs and Voltron, Cowboy Beebop, Fist of the North Star etc..from back in the day.

Of recent years I have really enjoyed The Full Metal Alchemist,Bleach, Robotech: Shadow Chronicles, Elfin Leid and many others..

There are some truely exceptional animes out there, something for everyone and every taste but It can require a lot of viewing and possibly trawling through not so exceptional anime to find them.

well i just watched angel sanctuary 1-3. Its well written and the art is great....but holy crap its demented. Brother loves his sister, they run away to be together...and the brother is actualy the embodyment of a female angel......its like a Jerry springer anime. O and its about angels declarring war on god, as if it couldent get any more twisted 0.o

Soul Eater. Go watch, it is interesting. Better yet read the manga. :-P

Any new series out that you guys have been consuming that are worth my time? Manga or Anime.

I do not <3 Mech either.

D.Gray-man is pretty good, but not great: its about exorcists with powers to defeat demons....

Shigurui also a good one: a very bloody samurai anime (has 12 eps)

also Gintama: what happens when aliens visit Japan in the Samurai era? a good comedy :D

If you are looking for something fresh and unorthodox, go read the Gantz manga. If you dare.

I watched up to 25 or so. It's a bit strange, but a good watch. Nothing very special, though.
So-so, in other words.

Eh, if they scrapped bleach I'd be fine with that. Naruto was at least worthwhile watching. Something to do when you are bored.

I watch both and the only reason i watch is because of boredom (boredom that i have at all times...)

doing things while you are bored still means you enjoy them, i get the feeling you are trying to say "I watch them when nobody else is around". Its ok to like anime that USA has butcherd, it was still good at some point in time.For a good laugh, try and play the new DBZ game on the 360,not only do they stop each battle 5-6 times for the worst cut sceens in history, but the actual lines they deliver will make your ears bleed. Im sorry for anyone who actualy does try the game,it might make you hate anime, and your 360......EVIL I SAY!

Eh, I personally liked Burst limit for the controls, yes, those cut scenes were annoying, yet the game was actually balanced, which is unheard of in most DBZ fighting games. Plus, you can turn those off.

u cant turn the cut sceens off in story mode, which you play extensivly to unlock everything, thats why it is so painful, but i agree the controls are very responsive, and "can" be fun, i wish it was more strait forward though like the GT game for PS1. BTW
theres a new Narruto game coming out around Dec. , i never tried the others but i might try the new 1.
