i like sci fi classic and traditional, but i went for traditional cause i thought ninja scroll was the bets thing ive ever seen
I'd recommend: Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honniamese (R2) Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (R2) Spriggan (R1) Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade (R1) Quality films that should grace all anime fan's collections. ...and throw away the copy of Legend of the Overfiend for being the dire piece of poop that it is. I think I have about 30ish anime DVDs. Stuff like: Trigun Love Hina Initial D Kenshin FLCL Excel Saga All the usual films... Yada yada.
legond of the overfiend is sudo hentai, and ive watched it once i think. and yes it is pap. ive watched most of the lupin III films, and i have to say, The Castle of Cagliostro is one of my favourites im ashamed to say that i have never seen any of the trigun films/series and i really really want to. where did youget ur dvd from? and im waiting for a box set for cowboy bebop to come out, cuz they are very good i must have seen about 50 films tho, just really cant remember then all all heil the scifi channel
The Trigun series comes in many flavours depending what country you buy it from. Depends if you wanna spend more or less, quality dependent of course. Mine's a Hong Kong set, but I know guys with the Region 1 set that cost $200ish. Obviously, the subs and dubs are better on Region 1. Cowboy Bebop box sets have been out ages and ages and ages in Japan, China and the US. I wouldn't hang around for any kind of UK release as that seems hideously unlikely. The feature length 'Knocking On Heaven's Door' is scheduled for a theatrical release this year you lucky Americans. Me jealous. eBay is my preferred choice for anime DVDs or my frien'd friend, although I'd only use eBay if you definitely know what you're after. Copies of series vary so much you may end up with a really dodgy version.
i can't really pick a category here...i'd have to say i've seen and liked from most/all of the categories ... i get most series direct from tv (fansubbing delay == maybe 2=10 days) and if i don't like it i just won't get more from that series.... but i already ave too much (atleast over 500 eps of random series archived.. probably more)
All the anime I've got falls under the 'classic' banner: Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honniamese Akira Princess Monoke Haven't bought any anime in a while though. Any suggestions? I've been meaning to give Ghost in the Shell a try...
I think is La Blue Girl you are thinking of K for Hentai Oh and Urotsukidoji (Uncut - perfect edition) rocks!!
fighting stuff. dragonball z is ****. but streetfigher 2 and fatal fury 2 rule. i liked ghost in the shell and akira. but stretfighter 2 rocks
OOOOH I FORGOT TEKNOMANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THAT SHOW... especialy now that im old enough not to laugh at the name "balzack"
Aha, that was the one I thought of half way through and forgot to stick on the end. Hence no Gundam or Eva in the polls... I was leaving em til last. Which is a little silly. I'll add it and can change your vote to Mecha if ya like, you must like Full Metal Panic and Patlabor and the like eh?
wow, how long have you had kenshin and excel saga dvd,s K? anway i highly recomend Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai, the magical shoping district, its a great parody anime. Azumanga Rocks
I class anything you left in the house as mine now Bow down to my brother people, he is uber otaku! Can't you get on MSN sometime? I need to talk to ya...
Thanks for the life sucking option! That about sums it up for me. Eventhough my collection of anime DVDs is small, about 25 I think; the last six or eight were bought in the last 3 weeks! It started years ago with Akira, Ninja Scroll, and Wings of Honniamese. Then it spread, oohhh did it spread. I bought Ghost in the Shell before I had a DVD player, only because I knew I was getting one for Christmas. Then came Rurouni Kenshin and buying up all the Neon Genesis DVDs as they came out. Talk about gut-wrenching, waiting for the next Evangelion DVD to come out was making me crazy! The story was well beyond emmersive for me, I was locked in to it completely. Favs are: Single,Feature Length: 1. Akira (duh!) 2. Metropolis (wow, just wow) 3. Ghost in the Shell (interesting story) 4. Ninja Scroll (classic) 5. Armitage: Dual-Matrix Single, Short Length: (under 55 minutes) 1. Blood: The Last Vampire 2. Riding Bean (just something about it that I liked) MultiEpisode/DVD Sets: 1. Neon Genesis: Evangelion 2. Hellsing 3. Gasaraki 4. BubbleGum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 5. Rurouni Kenshin (way too long, going on the first four right now. Wanna buy more, but other interests at the moment) Lately, I have been concentrating on strengthening my anime collection. Getting the last two Hellsing this weekend (tomorrow?), might buy the Gasaraki DVD set soon, and I am looking forward to purchasing the BubbleGum Crisis DVD set soon as well. I have a disease and there is no cure (see sig below) Signed, Terminal Lates, Ryan B. EDIT: Oh yeah, dragonball stuff just sucks the infected nipple of a dead lemur. It's like Barney, it should have been killed before it became popular. I just don't see how anyone could watch it without having the utmost extreme patience and a high tolerance for drawing out five minutes worth of storyline into an hour and a half. Anyone that I have met that enjoys watching dragonball stuff was either a spazz or the type who could turn directions to the bathroom into an adventure story (complete with tense situations, death and ressurection, and funny anecdotes that aren't really funny and are followed by some odd pose that makes no sense at all.) End of rant! Arrgghhhh
I kinda prefer the Studio Ghibli stuff.. films from Hayao Miyazaki. One of the most recent being Spirited Away. Others have been Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro... a few others too, but I like these best. The films put out by these people are awesome, always so whimsical, charming, and beautifully animated.
