Nah death note wasnt gory at all...
Ill show you what i showed everyone, you might like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8OyGX39YRo

EDIT:

I have watched The 4 ep prequel OVA of Darker than Black today after having been subbed for a while...
The OVA is what you would expect of this anime, the very same quality that defined DTB...
These 4 episodes do explain all that happened between both stories, what and why happened to Yin and what became of BK-201, it was very interesting to see Yin develop all that much...

I might have to rewatch the entire anime now, i got addicted to it again...

I really need to watch the anime.. I put it on my lappy for when I went on Vacation but watched Casshern Sins instead.. lol

Do u like horror??
Just reminded of Higurashi, the most gory anime ever made, ive been bugging the guys here to watch it, but they seem scared...

I still say Elfen Lied is more gory.

I was pretty immature back then and DB was like the first bit of anime I ever got to see. I liked the intensity and animation although looking back on the series as an adult it really seems silly. It did it's purpose in getting me interested in japanese animation, and helped me get past the initial disinterest.

The only reason I liked pokemon was because the video game was fucking awesome back then. I was like 13 and we all had gameboys at school and whatnot. That game introduced me to jRPGs a little more. Soon after I got into Zelda and Final Fantasy. It should be backwards.

Sounds really corny but that's the truth. I do not whatsoever like pokemon or dragonball anymore really, but I do still have pretty indepth memory of the series. I miss the feeling of going through the arcs though, it was like an epic journey.

I like the 10-40 episode anime. It's what I call real anime, anime that is not based on manga. Stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, GTO, etc. Short but sweet.

I didn't finish Initial D or know if it's even still going, but I enjoyed some of it too, mainly due to me being a nut for racing and automechanics.

Some good series mentioned in there. And my comment about BD and Pokemon wasn't in reference to anyone else's tastes. Just a statement of my tastes, and the reason I think they never interested me.

I think you could take a look at it, higurashi is better than elfen lied, not that much bloody but more suspense and true horror scenes, you can check on youtube for trailers and amv...
There's also Shiki, Shiki has just barelly started with only 6 episodes, but everything about it is great, the animation, the music, the atmosphere, i think the character design is very good, but thats a personal opinion of mine, i know that many dont really like the characters on the anime, but its kinda like higurashi, moe characters on an horror anime that can turn into perfect psycho's the next frame, although in shiki there's no moe at all...

I haven't seen shiki yet, but I just don't think Higurashi is all that great. Everybody raves about it, but it was boring to me. I felt no attachment to the characters, and the story was too repetitive.

Dj, I think you need to make "orb" a little bigger in your sig! Make sure you can get more of us over there!

I'll have to look into higurashi. I do like the horror stuff.. But, I tend to laugh at a lot when I watch it... Just who I am..

BB86.. Yeah, I never liked South Park.. I do like Family Guy, but I never liked how South Park is... Yeah, there is some funny stuff, but not worth my time to sit down with it.. A lot of "American Anime" I don't tend to care for.. Hell, most of "sitcom" style tv isn't even watched.. I've seen Anime, and went with it.. As for DB... Everyone should know I can't stand it.. Loved it, but now it's being so shoveled down our throats that I don't like it anymore..

I don't really like South Park at all either. It has it's moments, but I couldn't care less if I see it or not.

Unnatural things like Sky High stayed longer in my head than human killing other human.

Things that make sense is usually not as scary... for me.

Elfen lied is more bloody, not really gory like Higurashi...

We all talk based on our personal tastes...

You probably only watched the first higurashi, admittedly it doesn't follow a straight plot, there is no explanation whatsoever of what is going on and you might feel lost, for that there is a second season that presents the solution to every arc dealing with the explanations of the situation, in other words it is the solution to the first series...

Oh my Good, they killed Kenny!!
You Bastards!!

HOTD is more bloody and more boobsy. LOL

I still disagree. I mean, just look at the way the secretary's head was unscrewed from her body in the first ep alone.

kid41212003 · Aug 19, 2010

Just started watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.

I haven't watched any this good for awhile.

I liked it a lot too. Although, I like watching earthquake documentaries and such as well, so that might have had something to do with it. lol.

djisas · Aug 19, 2010

Interesting twist in that anime, but admittedly, i saw it coming early in the anime...
The anime makes for a good drama...

Mussels · Aug 23, 2010

just a heads up to those looking for mecha anime, dont overlook bokurano.

i just rewatched it, and its still as awesome as the first time i saw it.

One of the few animes where the ending DOESNT suck.

Solaris17 · Aug 23, 2010

just finished angel beats, marathon'd it...feels bad man.

AhokZYashA · Aug 23, 2010

angel beats is the only anime that makes me cry.
idk why i cried tho..

djisas · Aug 23, 2010

Just because it has a little bit of tragedy??
Have you watched some real tragedies like kimiga nozomu eien or clannad or even tokyo magnitude 8.0??

AhokZYashA · Aug 23, 2010

thats why idk why i cried, only the last ep tho..

watched clannad, cried, but dont know whats it all about..

im currently searching for grave of fireflies

djisas · Aug 23, 2010

Grave of fireflies??
I can already see a pool of tears surrounding you...
Thats is the most tragic tragedy ever...
You could buy the dvd for cheap, its worth it, any ghibli dvd is worth collecting...

AhokZYashA · Aug 23, 2010

i guess i have a soft heart lol

My name is Wile E, and I approve this message.

djisas · Aug 23, 2010

Mb i should start buying some Ghibli BD's, when they start doing them...
If i could get some of the older movies in glorious remastered HD quality...

AhokZYashA · Aug 23, 2010

ugh, cant wait for it..

but im watching K-ON!! now.

entropy13 · Aug 23, 2010

K-On!!, Giant Killing and Kaichou-wa Maid-Sama will be ending soon. K-On!! will definitely not have a season 3 unless the manga is continued. Giant Killing and Kaichou-wa Maid-Sama would definitely have season 2's (Giant Killing might end after the Osaka match, Kaichou might end after Usui fends off the other guy's advances on Misaki, both of which aren't the end of the manga...).

TheLaughingMan · Aug 23, 2010

I guess it is time to watch Higurashi
