So far, I think the original FMA is way better.

Jury's out for me.

Brotherhood is just truer to the manga.

I like what I've watched so far of Brotherhood, I just can't seem to stay up till 2:30 on Saturdays anymore to watch it...

FMA Bro-hoof starts better. I'm not sure which is the better overall series, because it doesn't take too long before they're kind of on equal footing, but FMA Bros Before Hos wold have hooked me a lot faster.

I really like the intro song.

Yeah it's hype.

I just finished Brotherhood a couple of days ago and I will say the original is better still. Not way better like I stated before. I do like the addition of some of the characters that weren't in the previous anime and the story of the dwarf in the flask is more interesting than the original anime idea.

One thing that leaves me to desire is when they showed more of the world map on the final episode and I wish there was more information on all those other countries.

I have a big date coming up. We are each picking out 3 episodes anime to watch at my place. I have decided that Avatar "the blind bandit" will be one of mine. Any suggestions on the other 2?

I would suggest some put I only like something like 3 animes. Urusei Yatsura? :?:

Avatar 'Air Bender' Avatar? That's just barely anime.

It's a date, so run with Inuyasha, The Big O, or FLCL. Something that has male and female leads bickering.

how long until this becomes the Hentai thread?

I honestly hope not because that would be just plain wrong.

it's only matter of time... :-\

anime post: Eden of the East is tops. check it out.

This thread is old and woefully under used. The premise still works, though.

Just watched half of the first episode, I don't think I could get into this.

Grave of the Fireflys is a great film to put you in the mood.

If the mood is mind shattering depression.

I thought it was great. I also like Dragon Half and Armitage III. Armitage III is the only one not a comedy.

Cool theme too:

Would have been even cooler without 1:55 to 2:02.

That's all I can suggest because that's all I know.

About a year and a half ago.





Agreed. Doesn't need to be spammed up with a lot of nothing, and I can look back on it occasionally for ideas of other things to watch in lull periods when I'm not into something at the moment...

... and I misread that as "wonderfully under used". I guess I don't quite agree with you.

On what?

I like the fact that it's underused, so I disagree with the "woefully" part. As I said, I initially read that as "wonderfully under used", and was agreeing with that. Not cluttered with a bunch of BS posts of people suggesting things that aren't even in the same zip code as anime, or trying to troll for 3 pages on how the live action Dragon Ball was quality scinema that in no way raped the franchise.

This thread is kind of like a time capsule. Disappears for awhile, then someone bumps it and joy is had by all those that forgot about it and go "ah, yeah!"

Anyone recommend what i could get for my 10 year old, as i know some of it is cartoon porn

Jap kids are more advanced than ours, so their kids shows are often marketed as teen shows for us. Basically find some pre-school stuff, though those animes rarely get licensed for the states. A lot of 'gotta be the best'-type anime's seem alright for younger kids, boys in particular. I can't recall any titles, though.

Cheers

I've actually watched some anime recently.

Deathnote. I liked it, then it started getting ridiculous.

So a new DBZ movie is coming out.

An anime film or a live action one? I saw the live action one with and friend (neither of us are DBZ fans) and we both thought it sucked. I think I thought it sucked slightly less, but still.

The one guy I knew who likes DBZ said he loved it. So many it's something only fans like.

Anime.

And that movie was not good for fans.

I like the stand alone DBZ movies a lot more than the series.

And yeah the live action one is shit.

Although they did come out with a new, albeit short animated flick a few years ago that was also pretty terrible.

This thread should be renamed "The Anime Thread For People Who Like Being Virgins"

I've done sex before. With ladies!

Guillermo Del Toro is gonna bring "Monster" to the small screen and make it a series on HBO.

Dunno how he pulled that off with network brass, but call me intrigued.

Flame of Recca, aside from Sailor Moon and Wedding Peach which is a rip-off Sailor Moon. Or how about Akazukin Cha-Cha? She's like red riding Hood anime then transforms into Sailor Moon-ish archer.

Gundam Unicorn is freaking fantastic. The animation is gorgeous. Battles look incredible, and the audio is amazing. The sound effects are thunderous, and really give "weight" to the mechs better than any other gundam series. You get a real appreciation that these are 20+ meter steel machines of death battling it out.
Soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard for anything, anime or live action.

Still has the typical over the top Gundam melodrama, but I don't mind as much because most of the characters are likeable and endearing. And also because the voice acting is stellar. Not often that I prefer a dub to subtitled, but this is a rare case of the exceptional dub.

Only problem is that you have to slog through Original Gundam, Zeta Gundam, and Char's Counterattack to get a good understanding of the backstory, and the motivations of all the different factions. Though they've condensed the two tv series into movie trilogies. I haven't seen them, but I'd bet the stories hold up better as movies rather than long drawn out tv series.

6 episodes so far and the last will be out spring 2014.

Finally got around to watching Attack on Titan. Good stuff, but I don't quite see it as "the next big thing"; that people are treating it as if it's going to take the world by storm like DBZ or Pokemon seems a bit of a stretch.

Read the manga Guycott. It's pretty intense. I started it recently now that Gantz has one chapter left to go.
