So what are your fave animes?

Search for threads in here by Wraith. You will recognise them by the Anime Apolyton title.

Personally, I like Lain and NGE, but haven't seen a great deal other than that.

A DL is a doubai lojin, which is Chinese for "Stupid Finn".

Space05us · January 1, 2004, 04:54

are you a DL, or are you an ani-furrie?(I forget the term, kogouatioasnf or something like that, the ones Stefu always mentions.)

Too many.

--"So are there any fans of Anime on this bored?"

A few, but if you're here just for anime discussion you're going to be bored ^_^

My personal favorite is Haibane Renmei, followed closely by Serial Experiments: Lain. I haven't really done any strict ranking after that, but there are a number of good ones around.
Other favorites of mine would include Berserk, Crest/Banner of the Stars, Twelve Kingdoms, Alien 9, Twin Spica (currently airing in Japan), Utena, Porco Rosso and Jin-Roh.

I only agree with two of your list; Excel Saga and Ruroni Keninshin (as far as the OVAs are concerned; didn't like the TV series as much).
Evangelion isn't bad. Outlaw Star and Saber Marionette J are okay but nothing special. I didn't like .hack much, and really don't like Trigun (far too melodramatic, a message show, with static and uniteresting characters).

--" I'm new to this site and didn't know where the search thingy is,"

Up near the top of the page. If you're logged in it'll be next to "Control Panel".

I usually do one every other month to cover the latest US and Japanese releases, with a little manga tossed in as well.
Need to start working on my year-in-review one now.

No, he'll douse you in chemicals and set you on fire.

I didn't come here for Anime Discussion, I came here because of Civialization 3, I'm scaried to find out how much I spent on that game.

I have never seen those (exccept Crest of the stars, I saw it on Tech-TV), I been meaning to see Lain, I have a friend who loves it (it also looks cool). I also heard Utena was good.

BTW Theben, thats a cool avatar. I love that webcomic.

Seeker · January 1, 2004, 13:09

I thought you didn't like Berzerk wraith?

BTW, I watched the Band of the Hawk DVDs again just for the 'bloopers/outakes' which I wasn't aware of, some are pretty funny like Griffith singing 'I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No'.

Wow I didn't know it had a Forum ^_^;;, Now that I looked for it I saw it. I don't know if I'll post there, I am already posting at afew other boards, and thinking about posting at the Life of Riley (my fave Web-comic) Board again.

Does Inuyashu (sp) count?

Theben · January 1, 2004, 19:38

He must be a DL. He didn't spell my name Theban.

--"I have never seen those (exccept Crest of the stars, I saw it on Tech-TV),"

That's unfortunate, it has an atrocious dub. Bandai really went half-assed on this series for some reason, and even the subtitles weren't done very well.

--"I thought you didn't like Berzerk wraith?"

I don't know where you got that impression from. I've got the series and what there is of the US release of the manga. I have said it won't be for everyone; the low-budget animation, gore, and larger-than-life characters will turn some people off. But I like epic fantasy stuff.

--"Does Inuyashu (sp) count?"

Sure. Inu Yasha is anime. The dub is a bit unfortunate, though, involving Trish of Viz, who has a habit of trying to "improve" scripts by adding lame jokes.

What, you don't think Socal accents 'accentuate' the characters?

Be nice if AdultSwim used subtitles instead.

I've registered but have yet to post. There's a least 1 furry and seem to be quite a few otakus. Scary.
