Naruto, Nana, Paradise Kiss, Bleach, Moon Phase (just started watching), Death Note, Fruits Basket, Elfen Lied, Hell Girl (only upto 9), Trigun, InuYasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Darker than Black, Cowboy BeBop, and so many more.
Funny how you don't realize how many you've seen until you go to list them. Love it. :)

Glad to see another Paradise Kiss fan here! I love that anime! I actually have a cosplay of Miwako >.> The pink curly wig is fun.

I've been wanting to watch Nana, but I haven't actually had the time to yet. Someday though. :3

I haven't seen mention of one of my favorite anime movies - Fist of the North Star. Neither have I seen my other fave Ninja Scroll. Ninja Resurection was not nearly as good as Ninja Scroll.

I've always been a Yugioh fan and actually play the card game. Yes, I know it was designed for 8 year olds, but they can't appreciate the skill quite the same ways as a late 40's adult. The series is a closet addiction of mine.

Bastard was a fun series (I thought so) although hard to keep up with once in a while. Just kind of "out there" for someone my age.

Has anyone seen Ah! My Goddess? I love it! A friend had a small collection and I was amused by the entire concept.

Of course, Ghost in the Shell is in my collection as well as some Ranma 1/2. As far as "Subs VS. Dubs" - I vote DUBS unless you understand some Japanese or just feel like reading a good movie.

So there's my say.

Also.... I did like Rumbling Hearts for most of the series, but then at the end when he went with that one chick, I was P.O.ed. I mean, they bring up all the suspense, leave you waiting for whatsherface to get up from her coma, then they can live happily ever after, but that one chick just had to ruin everything... she even slept with his best friend... gah, that ending made me mad... and now I hate that show... :)

Wow yeah I loved Rumbling Hearts too! I think it's great that you liked it and it pissed you off. It had a few goofy side characters otherwise was some emotional drama.

totoro — Thu, 31 May 2007 16:24:28 GMT

Despite being a major lover of Japanese things, I actually don't like most Anime I've seen. These are the anime I like:

Genshiken - I love this reality based anime, although, it does kind of drift into too much fanservice in later episodes.

His and Her Circumstances - at least the first 10 episodes are genius. It falls apart in a big way midway through its run, but the poor quality of the latter episodes does not detract from how good the first episodes are!

Seriously, that is it. I have tried many others and always wind up disappointed. I don't like mechs, violence, monsters of the week, androids or fanservice. I just like the reality based Anime, of which unfortunately very few seem to have been made.

I think of Ghibli as a different category from Anime. Of their films I most like:

Kiki's Delivery Service

My Neighbor Totoro

Spirited Away

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Grave of the Fireflies

It seems like you've seen most of the biggest name stuff as far as movies go. I know of some more that you haven't, but I haven't seen them either, so I can't really recommend them. Except for the Cowboy Bebop movie, but I'd recommend watching the whole series before the movie. I think that series is probably the one that has brought the most people into becomming anime fans. I think it was made by some of the same people as Wolf's Rain as well. But if you watch a few episodes of Cowboy Bebop, I'd be surprised if you don't get hooked.

I actually saw the Cowboy Bebop movie a while ago when I was in the Calvin College Anime Club. I thought it was ok, but I didn't love it which is why it wasn't on my list. I did like the character of Eddy...or whatever that tech savvy little girl was named. She was funny and I liked her costumes. Perhaps I should have started with the series. Where do you get your episodes from? Are they available at stores like Blockbuster? I used to have Blockbuster Online...but I just wasn't watching as many movies as I wanted to while paying the 17 bucks a month...maybe I should give it another shot! Hah, perhaps that would curb my WoW enthusiasm a bit.

Thanks for the suggestions DJS. I will check into Wolf's Rain as well.

Anyway, here is my question: If I like the above stuff....what other movies should I check into. I mean, I obviously love Hayao Miyazaki but other than that, I am really unsure about what to look into. The voice talent and other celebs he pulls in are awesome. Neal Gaiman and Billy Bob Thorton and Christian Bale...wow. Good stuff. I think I will look into Wolf Rain and I was kinda a fan of the Gundam Wing stuff I saw on Cartoon Network....but I feel like there are always spin off series and I am afraid of getting lost in a crappy side show. Also, it sorta bums me out when a show gets mired in drawn out battles that shouldn't last NEARLY as long as they do (See Dragon Ball Z...bleh). HELP!

Well sorry to say I haven't watched Gundam Wing but I have seen Gundam Seed which is similar by a long shot (from what I've gathered). So I think you should check Gundam Seed out because I thought it was good and they don't have fights that drag on like Dragon Ball Z ( I got thought they were just making an escuse to continue the series with this). The only sequel to Gundam Seed (that Iknow of) is Gundam Seed Destiny but you don't need to watch it like how some series you do because it ends in a cliff hanger (curse series that do that...It drives me crazy not knowing the ending). And I didn't think that Gundam Seed Destiny was that great (that's only my opinion Don't take it to heart )

As for movies I haven't seen that many so I can't really help you...Sorry :(

I do think you should watch Wolf's Rain because I think it was awsome and maybe sence you like series that have fighting in it (but not ones that drag on with fights) check out Busou Renkin or for something like Sousei No Aquarion which has sort of a Gundam ideal with people fighting in a robot thing.

Hope this helps k...Thanks

Re: What anime have you seen?

mattypro — Tue, 01 May 2007 18:22:54 GMT

I have a question or two to throw into the mix. But first things first!

Welcome to the site DJS. I noticed that you just joined on the 28th. This site rocks and I think you will find it very fun and helpful, not to mention interesting. Also, Canada rocks...sorta wish I was from there...sigh

Second: Rizzo, I had no clue you liked anime. We should watch some together.

Ok, on to the questions:

I have not seen an over-abundance of anime (as it seems that the others who have posted here have!) I have stuck mostly to movies, but the occasional series (mostly from watching the anime hours on Cartoon Network) has caught my attention and I have wanted to see more.

A couple of series I have enjoyed:

Thundercats

Gundam Wing (dont know which one lol)

Voltron

Dragon Ball Z

Movies I have seen and enjoyed:

Appleseed (visually stunning....just spectacular)

Ghost in the Shell

Ghost in the Shell II

And since Anime refers to Animated, I will also add:

The Iron Giant

The Incredibles

Boy, does Iron Giant roxors. I love it so much. When people talk about Superman, i dont even think of Superman anymore...I just think of the Iron Giant. Also, I think that it was the first movie that Brad Bird did...the same guy that did The Incredibles. I dont really think they count as "Anime though"...so dis-regard them if you want.

Anyway, here is my question: If I like the above stuff....what other movies should I check into. I mean, I obviously love Hayao Miyazaki but other than that, I am really unsure about what to look into. The voice talent and other celebs he pulls in are awesome. Neal Gaiman and Billy Bob Thorton and Christian Bale...wow. Good stuff. I think I will look into Wolf Rain and I was kinda a fan of the Gundam Wing stuff I saw on Cartoon Network....but I feel like there are always spin off series and I am afraid of getting lost in a crappy side show. Also, it sorta bums me out when a show gets mired in drawn out battles that shouldn't last NEARLY as long as they do (See Dragon Ball Z...bleh). HELP!

Well the amount of anime for me is limited inless I actually look for it (internet downloading) and I wouldn't say Inuyasha is kiddy but their are some way better series out their. The reason why I got hooked on anime isn't because of the series Inuyasha itself but more because I enjoy how it was different from normal cartoons that I'd see on tv and how just the look and feel of anime gave me. I also wanted to watch other stuff like it and so went searching on the web to see what I could find if I coulld find something better and I did that was Wolf's Rain and that drove me to look more and so on...

So Inuyasha isn't my favourit because after watching it I got hooked on anime, but more because it got me interrested in a new t ype of show which led me to pursue more series like it (anime) and thats why I fell in love with anime not so much because of Inuyasha itself.

I don't think its kiddy like pokemon but it is sorta at that level. What I mean is that compared to other series it can seem a little tame at times but I find it to resemble more like Kiba not as good but still the idea that the main "hero" isn't the typical kind of hero (not as good ) and it also has a bit more of a love that will never happen with the character Kagome (who fights for Inuyasha's love against Kykyo Inuyasha's previous lover) so it has more substance then Pokemon consisting of a more romance and action aswell their is a goal to it which is to defeat Naraku so in that sence its better then Pokemon. But it's still doesn't compare to some of the other anime series out there.

Hope that answered your questions k

dEaTh_jIg_SAw:
Thanks for reading and tell me if i did something wrong so i can improve on it k

What could you possibly have done wrong? Thanks for posting!

You said that Wolf's Rain was the 2nd series you saw. That's one of my absolute favorite. As the first one you saw that hooked you, would you say that Inuyasha is one of your absolute favorites? I've seen images of that main character all over the place, but I really don't have any idea of the story or the feel of the series. It's not really kiddy like Pokemon is it?

Spirited Away
Samurai X

Ghost in the shell: 1 and 2

Read manga for Berserk, Ghost in the Shell, and Gundam: Blue Destiny

I will throw up my list later today (Monday). But I just wanted to comment; I am not a fan of ecchi. In general, I think it can ruin a lot of anime. Granted, the stuff that it is supposed to have it, i.e. excel saga and popotan, the more power to it. However, I watch anime for the unique stories and humor. Ecchi just doesn't work into either of those categories. That is just my personal opinion, though. The only thing that came out of Popotan for me was an opening theme song that infected my brain. Almost to the point of *kaploey.* That is not a good thing, for me...

I'd never been there before, but it seems like a pretty good site. For looking up information about series I like to use animenewsnetwork.com. Usually when I watch anime online I use youtube or crunchyroll.com because my computer can't really handle downloading all that stuff (plus i don't have a bittorrent player so most downloads I can't watch anyways.) I used to download off realitylapse.com, they're pretty good, that's where I first watched FMA and Chobits.

I think the first anime series I watched entirely on DVD was Utena. I watch most of my stuff online ^^;; The only series I own fully on dvd are Utena, FMA, Captain Tylor, and Please Teacher (though I watched FMA and Please Teacher online before buying them. Actually, I think you'd like Please Teacher alot if you watched it.)
I have most of DearS on dvd now, I just haven't gotten around to watching any of it ^^;; But I have alot of the series I've watched partially on dvd, plus I buy a ton of the merchandise, so it makes me feel better about watching them online ^^;;

Re: What anime have you seen?

Risselada — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 07:42:00 GMT

Yeah I think that's the plot of the Green Green OVA.

Berserk is actually the first entire anime series I ever watched on DVD. The only other anime series I'd seen before that was The Slayers which I had watched all on downloaded video files. I know some people who hate it just because of the way it ends. It get's incredibly weird in just the last episode or two. And the ending is rather abrupts and unsettling. I guess what is the ending of the anime series was just a wild turning point in the manga, but not the actual end of the manga. They never were able to make any more anime about the rest of the manga. Still, an amazing series that I would recommend.

Wolf's Rain is HIGHLY recommended as well. It may be my absolute favorite so far.

Popotan isn't too long. Just 12 episodes I think. I watched that one all on downloaded videos too. That was before it came out on DVD. At least, I believe it's on DVD now. I'll probably end up watching it again some day. It's just really sweet.

Have you ever been to the website http://www.animenfo.com ? It seems like the most comprehensive anime website and database I've been able to find on the web. Let me know if you know of any site you think might be better.

Re: What anime have you seen?

superdrive0 — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 06:32:45 GMT

Heh, i think everyone likes a bit of ecchi (or in some cases, ALOT xD)

Is the ova of Green Green the episode where they come up to visit the boys again in the winter? If it is then I should add that to my list as well.

One of my friends has been after me to watch Beserk lately. I probably will eventually once I get done with some other series.

I saw part of Scryed and I didn't really like it either, I never finished it. I also saw part of Wolf's Rain, but I borrowed the dvds from a friend, and since they didn't have the end of the series i never finished watching it. I would like to though, it's a really great series from what I've seen, and i know alot of people love it.

I'd never heard of Popotan before, but from reading the description on here it seems interesting. How long is the series? May need to add that to my list of anime to watch...
