Yeah, the manga is apparently massive, but I’m never looked at it myself.




The movie follows the series (as in has the same characters etcs), but it stand alone as well (its plot is not related to the ongoing plot of the series). It’s based between episode 22 and 23 (or there about) and it’s essentially a feature length, high quality episode. It’s very good.




Giant Robo is the 5th anime I ever saw (the first series I saw) and is without doubt one of the great animes of all time.

They are releasing a remake of it next year.




I agree Patlabour 1 and 2 are good, there is also 3 and 4 plus a series, but I never saw them

The original Appleseed is also a good anime movie, they also did a remake of it around 2001, but I never saw that one.


Trigun is another good sci-fi, but very comedy orientated, as well as action






I liked Crest of the Stars also, they also released two sequel series completing the story… I never did get around to watching them

Why is everywhere penguin obsessed recently



Cool, I'm a big fan of YUA

I seriously hate CG movies with talking animals, but either way, I think it's fairly clear that Penguins are apocalyptic signs of the coming of the Monkey Messiah and the end times of humanity, after which the world will be ruled by lesser primates who have learned how to work computers and post on internet forums.

That future reality is surely bleeding through into our current times already... OOK

... I'm not sure how to respond to that




Any other Kiddy Grade fans out there awaiting the arrival of season 2?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9M3Bl9WuNc

I've never seen the first Kiddy Grade, but this clip you linked makes season 2 out to be action-packed, mecha-containing, and somewhat fanservice-y!
Most likely, I will give it a try! Thanks.

That would be because the first Kiddy Grade was action-packed, mecha-containing, and somewhat fanservice-y! And you should give it a try

I've seen up to episode 6 of 'Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny' sub. It has a lot of action, not-so-rare hyper-violent moments, a nice soundtrack (in my opinion,) but the fanservice is ridiculous and almost seems somewhat tasteless at times!

I think it's worth the watch so long as you can tolerate the ridiculous fanservice. RIDICULOUS!!
...

Well, see ya.

after watching episode 6,7,8 of Claymore i think I'll keep with it episode 8 was man wtf!

Yeah, I must admit I never saw it comming

Talon. Saya just left the girl school. Going after Diva. Hope that helps. That's where Adult Swim has the show right now.

Blood+.

As this "Claymore" is easily accessible to me at the moment, I'ma go start some on its way right now considering these comments on it.

….um… further ahead than me by the sounds of things






You should, it’s a very good fantasy anime… and Claymores are cool because they are Scottish…as in actual Claymores, not the Claymores in this show

^Thanks for replying! Now I don't have to double-post.
I watched the first 2 episodes (of Claymore) so far. I LOVE how it seems to be moving along rather quickly, yet remains serious and interesting. I'll definitely be getting more.

As for Claymore the sword... They're rather big swords, aren't they? I prefer Flammenschwert, a (probably) German sword. ;D

I prefer the Japanese katanas myself

I just got through watching episodes 1 & 2 of 'Code Geass', subtitled.
Damn cool so far, and I'll be watching more.

Yeah. It does.

There won't be Blood+ this Saturday. 'Cause they're doing a marathon. ;_; I want my Blood+!

I'm watching Monster Princes now, quite funny. About the Princess of all monsters, lives in a house on a hill with her sidekicks and her monster subjects turn up every episode to kill her as part of a coup... she kills them... her sidekicks die... she revives them... and she waits for the next lot of renegades to try it again tommorrow

I went to best buy on tuesday to pick up the first volume of Haruhi. (They even advertised it in their weekly ad!) I had $50 burning in my wallet, and so I was thinking of getting that and something else. I was actually looking to see if they had a copy of M, but I wasn't surprised when they didn't have it. anyways I then stumbled across Outlaw Star, and being one of my favorite shows that I never finished, I was compelled to get it on the spot.

2 DVDs (8 episodes) < 6 DVDs (26 episodes) I couldn't help it.

Forgive me, goddess Haruhi!

edit

anybody see paprika yet




http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/paprika/trailer/

I'm in the process of getting it... but if I'd known it was that sureal I wouldn't have

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denno_Coil

I want to see Paprika... I adored Paranoia Agent, and I want to see more of Satoshi Kon's stuff.

I got up to episode 11 in Code Geass. It's awesome! One of the best ones I've seen.

Some things in it:
- Stylish Giant Robots
- CLAMP or CLAMP-esque character looks
- Wars
- Weird Powers (The Geass)
- A cat who shows up sometimes (What? I'm just mentioning things off the top of my head.)
- Pizza Hut!! (yes!)
- Terrorists (but they're GOOD terrorists!)

I love this one. ALSO the ending theme is from Ali Project. Bonus points!!

Well, here's some where I'd never thought I would be. Posting in the Anime thread. LOL.
Just curious though, as to if anyone has heard anything about a 3rd season of 'Big O'?

No. I haven't. I think the show is done. :/ I think you have to do research on the matter.

I doubt there will ever be a third season of Big O. The show was a major flop in Japan, and was cancelled after series 1. It was only in the US it made it big and after a lot of presure from Cartoon Network and Bandai that Sunrise, Inc agreed to make the second season. However, the second season didn't do as well in the US as they first season had. Therefore I doubt there will be a third.

However, the director of Big O also did Giant Robo, I'd check it out, its very different from Big 0 (more mechs, but also super-powered warriors fighting over the planet), but its one of the greatest series ever made. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Robo_%28OVA%29

Please can I ask a favour, judge me all you want I don’t care , but the anime community are voting for our favourite lesbian anime couple and I would encourage all Konoka/Setsuna fans to go vote... obviously Chikane/Himeko fans can vote too... but I'd rather not emphasis on that

Please Please Please Please


Edit: I removed the link now the vote is over in light of lots of pics of girls kissing could be taken as soft porn

Did it so far Konoka/Setsuna are winning by 2%

LOL at that site my mom just walked in on me, she is giving me that look that are you a pedophile look.

Thanks

... given how many animes deal with boy-girl high school romances, it would be shockingly hypocritical if girl-girl high school romances like Konoka/Setsuna were counted as well... that... particuarly when in the same series the main male character is 9 years old and has a relationship with a 16 year old girl and nobody blinks twice.

Poor cute animated lesbians don't get a break

Oh my god, Konoka/Setsuna won, and now the fans of the other couple Chikane/Himeko in this yuri forum I got to are going insane, ranting about K/S fans rigging the vote and the result meaning the yuri fandom will be hurt. Do the words 'immature', 'bad loser', 'taking this way to seriously' and 'oh, for frog's sakes' come to mind?

On a seperate note, Inu Yasha has finally come over to the UK and I bought season 1 boxed set. I'll be off watching it in a few minutes, I'm just hoping after all the hype from US fans it actually delivers.

I didn't understand Claymore 10 that much did those four go fight the awakened male to die and I don't know satisfy his lust or something? If so thats messed up!

It seemed to imply that they were sent to die - maybe a deal the organisation made 'don't rampage around, and every year we'll send you some claymore's to eat'. But it didn[t really go into it. No doubt we'll find out soon.

Claymore btw, is one of the best series of the last few years me thinks.

I watched Claymore episodes 1 to 10 a couple days ago at a friends house, it seems to have a lot of potential - though the start didn't really show that potential until episode 9 and 10 which is when it really gets started.

I gotta agree with you Talon, this may be the best anime out this year~

Ahh...my last message on this thread 3/29/06
And i didn't even see the movie yet

I never really like FMA, but I got a friend who's obssessed with it

That friend and I have something in common


Trinity Blood...is there a second season?

Nope, just one series

why now!? why now?! fansubs recieved a C&D today! with last two episodes remaining i hope someone will subbed the last two episodes of Death Note and release it . underground subbing or something. just please continue the last 2 episodes.

For any Devil May Cry fans, the anime series of it was realised last week

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encycloped...ime.php?id=6905

gonna watched it. if i'm done watching Code Geass and Death Note.

Claymore 12 wow! Just wow that was one of the coolest build up episode and its just the begining of what is to come between number 4 and number 47.

And dammit I could not hold out I looked ahead of the anime and read the manga. I just needed to know what going to happend I read as far into the plot as possible what will be episode 19, this series is going to awesome. And i like how the anime is just about 100% exactly like the manga.

I've been watching Lucky Star recently, it's hilarious~~ You can use Tvlinks to catch episodes 1 - 10, though you'll have to wait longer for episode 11. Lucky Star <<< clicky the Linky.

Bleach is full off cruddy fillers at the minute too...

And Claymore is seriously improving so much each episode!

My friend that lives in Canada. Watches "Lucky Star," I haven't watched it. :/

You should, click on the link in the post above yours, you don't need to download as the programme is hosted on the site. It opens a new window which plays the video~

I would. But I wouldn't be able to hear anything. No sound.

Haha, well, it's in subtitles anyway. But yeah, no sound sucks.
