The awesome anime thread.

Claymore is fairly new and is unlicenced so you'll have to d/l a fansub torrent.

Cowboy Bebop is one of those rare animes where the dub is vastly superior.

 

[Vilden]

Cowboy Bebop is pretty boring anyway so it doesn't matter if it is dub or sub. ^_^

My rec of the day: Seirei no Moribito

 

[Hubster]

Hentai is fucking sick shit.

 

[Vilden]

Hentai is nice.

I just finished watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and I highly recommend it.

Been looking to watch that one.. Which group did you download for it?

 

[Gorva]

Actually I streamed it so I have no idea what group subbed it. =/

 

[Discovery]

A really fucking good anime series is Shigurui,it´s pretty underground. Most violent anime i´ve seen yet but at the same time the most subtile.

Sounds interesting, is the overall tone of the show a serious one? I love violence but not when it's combined with typical anime silliness ala Elfen Lied or Gantz. I did enjoy Higurashi though.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Yeah i would say it´s probably the most serious anime i´ve ever seen. It´s a samurai anime. One interesting thing is that apart from the intro the series has no music in it at all,just some percussion. Another cool thing is that it has a narrator who speaks now and then. It´s not silly at all,completely free from pink haired girls with big eyes and mouse voices.

Anyone watch any?

i'm 26, so... no.

 

[Discovery]

Sure is comforting having such a mature adult amongst us:Smug:

 

[Blind Guardian]

I´m 23 and i started watching anime at the age of 19,didn´t like cartoons when i was a kid. Kinda backwards there i know but much anime aint for kids either.

i'm so glad cuz you realized it.

 

[Discovery]

I'm 23 and started watching it about a year ago. People just have preconceived notions that they don't want (or care) to lose. If they watched an anime that was actually good they'd change their minds, but of course most won't do that.

 

[Vitor]

cartoons are much better

 

[KMADD]

Urotsodji (i know im ripping the spelling to shreds) The Legend Of The Overfiend

Wind Ninja Chronicles

Big Wars (great film)

Akira

Blood The Last Vampire etc.

 

[Vimana]

Its stupid stuff like Yu-Gi-Oh and America leaving in some of the Japanese words to make it sound cooler that gives anime a bad name. Theres more to anime than people with big eyes and some cheesy plot.

Anyway some animes I have read that I like:

Naruto
Inu Yasha
Chrono Crusade
Fullmetal Alchemist

 

[waif]

If you read them they were mangas.
Yu-Gi-Oh: the Abridged Series: the best thing ever?

 

[Zephyrus]

You should check out some of the abridged DBZ movies.

 

[waif]

I should. Only DBZ doesn't require making fun of.

 

[angelic-rage]

Urotsukidoji?

Ninja Resurrection is pretty gory too iirc, was 7-8 years I watched it though.

Edit: Gungrave gory? It is very non-gory imo.

i sweaar that was the dodgy hentai ...
