Anime Nation

[Cold Storm]

I wouldnt say huge nor big. Huge/big would mean mainstream and anime is far from it. Its just like any other sub culture here in the US. It has its supports and when they go hard core they go hard core

Well, where you have the money for it, it's huge... Mostly its like you say... Mainstream would be great, but the government, and old people can't take into account for how it is growing... but why not? we dress for cosplay like our founding fathers did for the balls they threw...
Who here in the us can watch the Anime Network? I just get the video-in-demand stuff....

 

[Cold Storm]

You know, after looking at X fires avatar, I remember a anime I liked a lot.. Get Backers... anyone else know if it?

 

[Mussels]

Can I make a suggestion please?

When you list your favourite anime, could you please put at least a brief summary of what's it's about as well.

thats a lot of effort for some of us - wiki is a great place to check for anime summaries (thats where i go)

i have to drop the girl off at a friends house, when i come back i will list my all time fav animoo. It.... may take a while. hehehe. (gimme 3-4 hours)

It's a really old movie... but one of the best, still!


At the same time (years ago), I also watched a non-anime movie called...Shogun Assassin (JAP Movie). I watched it when I was in the UK studing, and It was banned there from 1978 untill 1987..... Had many anime elements, especially the background sceenes and atmosphere of battles.

[NeoCrisis]

oh lordy theres soo many....
I have favorites in each category...
but all around i would have to say Eureka 7 for the strong character development, story, and action sequences ive probably watched that series 3 or 4 times now.
Death Note, Lucky Star, Ef-a tail of memories, Genshiken, Elfen Lied, Initial D, Kanon are also up there as my favs. Also Basilisk just cuz its like Naruto but on Acid!

 

[xfire]

Subed or dubed don't make a difference but about a year back Animax our only source of anime(apart from Cartoon Network) tried to air in Hindi but luckily its back to english. Cartoon network comes in telugu though.

death note and macross 7. win.

death note has to be #1, simply because of its design. The show never lets up - there is never a dull moment, the plot is constant (it mutates as it goes, but its the same plot evolving - its not like it suddenly changes) the show was planned out start to finish before airing, so its perfectly balanced - few shows make me sit there and watch start to finish without even taking a break.

Macross was just unique. Without even seeing the originals it all made sense, the music is perfect for the show and nothing else has come close to it in this genre -cause there isnt anything like it!

Runners up: Gurren lagann, eureka 7.
