It gets better. Starts off a little iffy. It's definitely a good anime.

Karin was a fun one...

Have you watched Gurren Lagann??
You really should check it out for some crazy mecha action and plenty comedy...
 
Yeah, Gurren Lagann was a great anime. I've watched it twice now via Syfy Network (english dubbed) and once via regular Japanese.

Look at the guy in the picture for "Nyan koi" is it just me or does this guy get parts in EVERY anime? I swear hes in several that ive seen before..

He's in To Aru Majutsu no Index for one.. Can anyone name any others?

Also if anyone HASNT read the manga for Fairy Tale. watch out for the anime.. its gonna be the next BLEACH/NARUTO/ONE PIECE.
 
LOL, I am starting to notice familiar faces as well as voices in animes.

I just saw the first 2 DVDs of Samurai Champloo, the story is ok (I will prob see the whole thing) but it was "beautiful" to watch and I really liked the different soundtrack as well.

By the way I really liked watching Black Lagoon are there other animes that are geared more towards grownups like that one?

if you liked Black Lagoon then you probably like Madlax. Area 88 (was good if you like air craft style stuff).. Saiyuki, Kite (its a movie) & Kite Liberator..

I really liked Madlax. It was gone shooting, and had a different story.

You Might like Noir.

Yeah, Samurai Champloo was good, imho, via the music and visuals.. The story was Ok.. I didn't keep watching it because of that.. But it does bring ya into it more later on in the series.

As for the Full Metal Panic.. It's great stuff..

A military man, that was never thrown into high school before due to growning up in the "middle east", has to protect this school girl who has some "magicial" powers that can run his Armour suit. But, you get funny stuff via his military background, and what he learns... just gotta watch it..
It's second season is just funny episodes one after another.

Beware kite may have some awesome action scenes but some good sex scenes too, if you ok with that, kite will blow your mind...
Kite librador was weak...
From Kite creators comes Mezzo forte 2 ep full of action and sex and then theres mezzo Tv more reserved and no sex...
Try bebop, wolfs rain, armitage is good too, ergo proxy is quite awesome too and will have you thinking hard sometimes, Texhnolyze is also awesome and Lain from the same guy is quite good...

Is that enough??

Noir and madlax are almost clones but still good, although not as much as the one i mentioned, their music is specially good, theres a 3rd replica of those 2, although i dont remember the name its not worth your time as is the weaker of the 3...
Noir was original, madlax was a little repetitive...
 
Im not so much into the "sex" thing or the young girl panties thing either...But I do enjoy the interactions of the characters and the "Creativity" they show with their stories is just amazing to me.
I have insane skills in many fields but am so "artistically challenged" its not funny so they are a big inspiration to me.
 
The ones i mentioned are top in quality, and they aren't just dumb action movies...
For example, kite is like an adrenaline rush, awesome animation, great character design and good story...
Mezzo forte is quite good too, oh i remember you can get sexless versions of these...
Bebop is one of the best of its kind ever, that says it all, great characters story, art music, etc...

Wolfs rain is the exception here, its not cyberpunk, its not very action oriented but made by bones it could only be a masterpiece with a great story...
"Wolf's Rain is absorbing and fascinating, with interesting characters, a novel plot and brilliant music. Definitely recommended." what they say...

Texhnolyze was envisioned by a master of the cyberpunk Abe Yoshitoshi, "It's a waste of time to recommend this series to “fans of (insert anime series here)” because there literally isn't anything else like it out there on the market right now. This is a radical departure even for Abe, who specializes in unorthodox anime storytelling. It almost belongs more in the foreign film section than with the rest of the anime on the shelf; it's that different. If you're looking for something new or are interested in expanding your horizons, this is a definite purchase for you. It's as close to art as anime gets while still being captivating." ANN source...

And then there's LAIN from Abe as well, can you keep up with it?? "Let me conclude with saying that Lain is definitely not for everyone. It's very eccentric but it certainly has a point and it's accomplished in a rather interesting way if you don't mind watching very cerebral anime. There's little to no action, no comedy, no nothing, except some very serious thought provoking drama. It's bizarre enough to make you watch it at least twice. Check it out." ANN

ergo proxy is something else as well, maybe it has a little of Armitage Thexnolyze and LAIN "Ergo Proxy certainly isn't for everyone. It's a dark, brooding, slowly-paced sci-fi mystery with philosophical underpinnings; this is unquestionably an adult anime. People expecting nonstop robot fights will be disappointed, as will anyone who isn't patient enough to stick with the storyline. Overall, though, this is a mature, engrossing series; it's a nice break from the piles and piles of harem comedies and dating-sim shows the medium has become inundated with." ANN as well...
 
kite sounds good. i'll have to have a looksee at it.

Kite was good. I think the second movie is better.. The worst part.. I did what I did with almost every movie I have seen via it having a squeal... I watched the second one first.. But, I didn't know it was the second one.. lol

So, that's why I like the second one better.. I guess you can throw on there that it should be a series after you watch the second one.. You really get the feeling

that your missing something that wasn't apart of both movies
At lease i thought so...

Sorta of how Blood+ was.. You got an Awesome movie that just keep making you ask.. Why..

Or Karas.... I loved the movies... but it was making you want MORE... They left it SO wide open..
 
Karas was quite breath taking too, it made me buy the dvds and in the end the dvds where a waste of money, although the anime was great...

By second movie do you mean Kite librador??
It wasnt near the level of the first one...
 
i have a dilemma. i can either watch storm rider in 2.1 chinese or 5.1 german?
 
If chinese is the original language it is a better choice, if both are dubs from the Japanese and u are german, then go for it...
Yesterday i downloaded an anime ep subbed in German which i dunno and ended up watching it withouts subs...

Here is a Kite AMV after watching it some time ago i went after the movie right away...

Yeah, I got the Karas Dvd's myself. But, I have since lost them due to having it on my hdds when I had the dvd's... lol

Yeah, Librador was the first one I saw. then went to Kite.. I do have to say that your right. Kite was a lot more death and carnage then Librador. I just seem to like Libraor's art..

That was a very nice, very nice AMV
 
i looked for kite, and it did seem to be classified as hentai and porn on many websites.

i'd enver have downloaded it without the recommendations here (and that AMV) - will watch it later
 
If you love blood and gore, then you'll really like Kite. everytime I think of Kite, I think of Blood+ and how the main characters are...

Kite is indeed as hardcore has you can get, with gore all over and plenty of sex and rape and all uncensored but that is the directors cut, there is a toned down cut version without the sex, you can try to get if sex bothers you or just get the directors cut in all its glory...
Your choice, the same applies to Mezzo forte, the obvious choice if you liked kite and Mezzo Dsa if you liked Mezzo forte...
 
i'm getting the directors cut :P


currently watching Night Wizard, got 400GB of anime at respawn and picking through it... i expect to finish in about 6 months lol.
