Think I've seen all the ghibli movies now, will check a list see if I missed out any. Own 8 of them on DVD cos I like them so much.

djisas · Jul 20, 2010

Have you watched only yesterday, its quite a nice story, whisper of the heart or grave of the fireflies??
Grave of the fireflies is one of the most sad, if not the most sad anime, if someone is feeling to happy go watch it to wipe that grin out of your face...

Nope, not seen them. Just checked the list of ghibli productions, seems like i'm missing 2 more movies on top those you just mentioned and these shorts which I'd never even heard of:

Right.. time to complete the list :laugh:

check this http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=60
Ghibli as been more involved in modern anime than anyone could think, they even worked on evangelion and gurren lagann or even FMA and FMAB...

Not a ghibli movie, but its as close as it can get, miyori no mori, it is a great movie...

Elfen Lied

I ended up finishing this one not too long ago. I don't have very much to say about it, because I can't think of anything, other than one of the best I've ever seen.

So here's what's been added to my list:
Elfen Lied
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Higurashi
Trigun (I remember watching this when I was a kid, I remember it being similar to Rurouni Kenshin, but that's about it)
Samurai Champloo (Same story as Trigun... I remember watching it, but not much about it)

djisas · Jul 21, 2010

If thats a list to watch, add bebop, escaflowne and wolfs rain...
3 high level titles very unique and different from each other, anime that has marked a generation...

Cold Storm · Jul 21, 2010

I need to rewatch Wolf's Rain. I've been thinking about that anime for the past few days.. It's a real eye opener.. Even if you think of the world now..

Escaflowne will all ways be on my top 10 list!

Watched Occult episode 3 last night.. I can't believe that FMA:B got me to start watching stuff episode by episode.. But, then again, I work so much time goes by to fast.. :roll:

djisas · Jul 21, 2010

the thing about watching episode by episode is that you can watch a bunch of anime at the same time and dont have to wait for months before watching anything...

Next movie: Steam boy another masterpice
and everyone should really start watching some ghibli movies, every single one is a masterpiece by itself...

Steamboy is quite awesomsauce. It's one of the rare ones that I actually like in English.

Also add Witch Hunter Robin, Gungrave and Hellsing

I can't stand watching multiple things at once. I like to complete a whole story before I move on tot he next. I prefer things to stay fresh in my mind. Watching multiple things prevents that, as sometime you start to blend things together in your mind.

All that said, I think I'm going to watch Coyote Ragtime. Downloaded it eons ago, and forgot about it. Need to watch it.

djisas · Jul 21, 2010

Coyote was a good one with some action...

entropy13 · Jul 21, 2010

I see, so that's why Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~ subs took so long. Fancy karaoke for the OP and ED, fancy subtitle animation during fights...

djisas · Jul 21, 2010

waste of time...

Cold Storm · Jul 21, 2010

Coyote was a great anime.. I should rewatch it as well.. I'll do it come this weekend. I'm still rewatching Trinity Blood again.. :roll:

TheLaughingMan · Jul 22, 2010

Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom

I completely lost all respect this anime in the last 2 episodes of the show. The ending was by far one of the most BS moments in anime history. The ending act is contrived, blunt, strangely harsh in an anime so up its own ass about emotion, and badly put together. Granted I didn't think much of it before, but the second arc was going well and seemed to have unique character. Then it just pissed it all way. Fail.

I am watching Planetes and it is good so far. The characters are a bit over the top, but I like weird people. I wonder why?

Future boy conan is also a series and very good!

entropy13 · Jul 24, 2010

Shiki ep 3, Mitsudomoe ep 4 and The Legend of Legendary Heroes ep 4 are now subbed.

Amagami SS' ep 4 is subbed now as well, ending the Haruka Morishima arc.

scoutingwraith · Jul 24, 2010

I've been following the new line ups and really there are some decent ones there.

BTW....Amagami SS is made into several arcs for each character right?

6 arcs of 4 episodes each = 24
Total length of series = 24

Kaichou-wa Maid-Sama has been subbed now. I didn't know Animax shows it too.

TheLaughingMan · Jul 24, 2010

Wow, Planetes is really, really good. On episode 10 and good stuff.

Mussels · Jul 24, 2010

just started watching Asobi ni Ikuyo - loving it so far

Cold Storm · Jul 24, 2010

Are they finally finishing up Hitman Reborn? I just saw that 194 is "final battle begins"..

djisas · Jul 24, 2010

Even if it is the final battle, they will just come out with a new season, even if they decide to end it...

Shiki 3: Some seriously wicked characters and a frightening appearance both mother and daughter...

Let me recomend you all some fun: Ryofuko-chan 4 ep long and lots of fun:
This short 4 ep OVA is all about dead pan dark humor, it makes fun of everything and everyone, just try to imagine the siltation they are casted in, Ryofuko is an hyper genki girl with an immeasurable amount of energy to waste playing and her loyal general is an old perverted man incarnated in a loli's body (he feels like fish in water surrounded by women...)...

Let me just warn that this anime features an 90% loli cast, a crazy horse, a very perverted stuffed animal that changes form every episode, moderate amount of nudity and huge doses of comedy...
Stay away if you not comfortable with that...

AhokZYashA · Jul 24, 2010

anyone knows how many episodes of Shakugan no Shana S?
I only got to three.

djisas · Jul 24, 2010

4 if im not mistaken, after that a new tv anime is to be created...

scoutingwraith · Jul 25, 2010

Anyone know if the Black Rock Shooter OVA has been released?
