Back in dunno 2004 or something, I was always making fun of a friend of mine who loved anime. Then about 2006 some other friend showed me the Bleach fight between Renji and Byakuya, thought it was awesome and like a flashback remembered watching Dragon Ball, Captain Tsubasa, Doraemon and *cough* Sailor Moon as a kid.
Thought, well why not, lets watch Naruto and Bleach which are similar... then BAM!

So hooked that I watched both long running series all the way up to date in a few weeks. And at uni you just meet people with more and more suggestions... otaku-des!

But it all sort of slowed down, until this thread. Haha! Back to the good old days of sleepless nights watching in AWE!

All that and more, i loved SM when it started showing on tv, theres more classics like saint seya but it never really dragged me in...

Dragon ball is a good suggestion for mark, even him would be busy for like a month or more trying to watch everything...

Speaking of classics, there's also ranma 1/2, anyone watched it??

KieX · Jan 27, 2010

Not watched ranma 1/2. Would you recommend? Gonna watch Madlax tonight from your previous recommendation.

I believe KickAssAnime releases are the best for FMP.

If you want to get like 30GB worth of it, ranma is a very old anime 1989, but its great comedy, its a very crazy anime, thats for sure...

Oh and there's plenty of nudity too, guy's turning into girls, pigs, cranes, pandas or even girls turning into a cat, there's a bit of everything and of course more martial arts than in any other anime except maybe DB...

LOL, Ranma
Quote
"Saotome Ranma, a teenage martial artist, and his father Genma travel to the 'cursed training ground' of Jusenkyo in China. There, despite the warnings of the Chinese guard, they fall into the cursed springs. From now on, whenever Ranma is doused in cold water, he turns in to a girl, and a cute, well-built red-head at that. Hot water changes him back into a man again, but only until the next time. To make matters worse, his father engages him to Tendo Akane, a girl who hates boys.

(Summaries provided by ANN and AniDB)"

Sounds like that new one where guys change into girls too...(Kampfer)

Dam, how many eps do all those have?

Any Naruto manga readers find that Sasuke is getting too powerful?

djisas · Jan 27, 2010

Just finished reading the latest chapter :eek:

He was always sure to be powerful. But man I never expected him to become so incredibly cold hearted in seeking revenge. His character has become so dark and hateful it simply beggars belief.

Very interested in what Naruto will do. Poor guy would now have such a difficult time to bring Sasuke home. It's heartbreaking really.

Cold Storm · Jan 27, 2010

OH, how i love FMP. That anime was great.. So, SOO wide open at the end.. Man, I wish it would kick start again.

Kid, nice picture. I'll add it to the op later on..

LOL, Freyja mentioned that to me the other day...

djisas · Jan 27, 2010

Everyone goes to wiki nowadays...

MKmods · Jan 27, 2010

I dont read stuff but I have seen a few eps before on TV and it looked pretty cool, today when I was goofing off I saw it at CrunchyRoll, I may watch it over the weekend.

djisas said:
I meant hope you enjoy Shoujotai...

Theres a recent ova, for it, check it out too...

found it, I saw the first ep and it was more cute like the series. Il probably save the other 5eps for some time when im sad.

djisas · Jan 27, 2010

I should get a title for that...

im out to haunt some dreams...

Cold Storm · Jan 28, 2010

Man, I use to love watching Naruto.. But, once the first series was getting to the end, I just didn't care to much anymore... I love the movies.. lol

Bleach and Naruto now I solely follow as Manga because I simply can't stand having to put up with one lame filler after another. :banghead:

Once there are no fillers and the story catches up though, these two oldies will actually have a refreshingly new style. Specially Naruto, if they stick to the Manga and get rid of those fillers it will actually become Must Watch Dark Epic anime. Bleach Manga on the other hand, has some really good action, but it feels very rushed. What I was expecting to be awesome fights, ended prematurely :shadedshu Maybe the anime should take the bold move of extending these instead of stuffing the series with more fillers :rolleyes:

I started watching Code Geass (good) and Michiko to Hatchin (Excellent). Michiko reminds me of Black Lagoon (more grown up anime) Michiko is a hottie and very rough around the edges, acts tough but gets her ass kicked pretty good too. Its a very interesting (realy sad at times) story about street life for kids in Brazil.

Normally I get bored with the opening scenes of animes (especially having to watch them over and over each ep) but I really liked the go-go one from Bleach. However the one from Michiko is a blast to watch (my new fave opening scene)

I'll give Michiko a go then. After Black Lagoon, after Madlax.. I need an extra set of eyes and brains to keep up :roll:
