I'm pretty sure he was joking about the first part.

And since it's an anime thread, I'm pretty sure he/she wants anime. You could search or create a movie thread if necessary.

And to get back on topic, I'm watching the first episode of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It looks really promising!

[kenshinS14sks]

omg i just remembered.. . can't believe noone's mentioned one of the BEST fighting movies

s-CRY-ed!~!!!


wowowoowoowowowwo buy my car

[kingkilburn]

Man I hated that show. It has a cool theme but it's to damned corny.


For the best fight scenes I would have to go with Cowboy Bebop.

I loved the first Battle Royale, but the second one was an absolute abomination of a movie. Greatest dissapointment ever.

My favorite animes:

Heroic Age
Macross Frontier
Eureka 7
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

My least Favorite animes:

Stuff that is manga derived, aka
Dragon Ball Z
Naruto
Bleach
etc...

Mainly because the manga moves so slowly that they have to artificially slow the anime down somehow to compensate...so what do they do?

How bout 15 minute stair downs between two characters before a fight? Or 5 minute recaps of the previous episode? Or Filler episodes that are poorly written and animated?

I think there is about 10 minutes of content in a 30 minute show with manga derived animes.

Sure, as a manga, Bleach, Naruto, DBZ, etc are amazing....but as Animes...they suck balls.

full metal
gun sling girl is good 2
trigun the shit

fate stay night FTW no one even mention this???

[kingkilburn]

You can't say that about all manga derived anime. Take FLCL for instance. The only thing lost is the art style. It has all the intensity and strangeness intact.

The original Dragon Ball was good too.

[kenshinS14sks]

jungle wa itsumo hale nochi guu!!!!!!!!! freaking FREAKING HILARIUOS!!!

[ESmorz]

Just started watching Gundam00.

It's really bad ass compared to most of the other Gundams. The story line is like a good book.

[OptionZero]

gurren lagaan is badass

classic giant robot story there

macross frontier is mecha porn, political drama, and high school drama
mainly tho
its mecha porn

nobody does fightes like shoji kawamori and bandai basically said fuck it here's a monster budget, animate the fuck out of it

[aznpoopy]

id typically agree with that but macross 7 has sullied kawamori's reputation in my mind. macross frontier kicks ridiculous amounts of ass however, so i guess he's redeeming himself. episode 7 was incredible. this is definitely the best macross since the original and plus. i think it might even be better than plus. its what 7 should have been. next ep looks like its gonna tie in to zero... should be interesting what they have to say about it.

gurren lagann was over the top ridiculosity. 3rd arc was a bit weak but i loved the plot advance they did mid way through; very nice ending as well.

besides macross frontier i'm fairly hooked on code geass r2. and killing time with slightly pornographic comedies kanokon and to-love-ru.

[norcal_black240]

Gurren Lagaan was insane. I never seen a ending fight sence where the characters threw galaxies at each other! Ending was sad but so is every good anime.

**Spoiler alert**
Didnt his brother say he was gonna return better than before 10 days/years right before he died??? I was waiting the whole series and he never came back!

I just finnished watching 9th episode of Macross Frontier. Im enjoying it but still not as good as og or plus... yet.

[02BRB20]

Aero bumper and Kosei's????? Dang Ippo


rolling go! hahahaha

[CrashQueen]

It looks really interesting so if you have give me your input on it....

[PhAtXSuMo]

only anime i have watched i woudl say is Initial D, Ranma 1/2, DBZ

[playthe_part]

Everything I have watched has probably already been mentioned in this thread.

Recently watched "Welcome to the NHK" and I got to say it is one of my favorite animes I have ever watched. The first part is okay but the middle and end episodes are great, so give it some time.

Wow, what a cool thread.
It really has been quite a while since I watched anything anime related.
But this sure is bringing back a lot of memories of cool shows!
I think it is definitely time I get back into it!
Always fun to watch and escape reality for a bit.

A lot of cool recommendations in here for sure.
For some reason I really enjoy anime from the 80s and early 90s before computers played a huge part in the animation and overall feel.
The details and design seem so much better and technical looking in the older animes. Like AKIRA and GHOST IN THE SHELL for example.

Been wanting to check out BARI BARI DENSETSU for a while but cannot seem to find any downloads nor one that is subtitled. Awesome animation and it is from the creator of Initial D, Shuichi Shigeno. It deals with motorcycle racing. From 1986.

[koroshiya87]

cowboy bebop, deathnote, trigun, samurai chammploo

[muddafakka]

Macross Frontier got me hooked. I watched the first 10 episodes this weekend on Veoh. Gotta watch the rest on Youtube...unless there's a better place someone can recommend me?

Did anyone see the UH-60 Blackhawk in ep. 9 or 10?

And I had this stuck in my head all day

[Leetheslacker]

i'm watching cowboy bebop again. for the millionth time.

its like the only anime i actually like the dubbed version.

i really should get all of champloo cause its in the same vein as cb.

[braingone]

I don't really watch any anime outside of adultswim.

Cowboy BeBop, Eureka 7, Ghost in the Shell, are prob my top3. Death note and bleach are good too.

Oh and does anyone know if the latest Death Note episode on Adult Swim(Saturday) was the last one of the series?

[Om1kron]

I'm really into mech anime's and love series anime too as long as I can sit and watch it in one shot. I'm glad I didn't discover macross frontier until late august.

Last episode is this thursday =(

[trad1987]

Ive only seen initial D and wangan midnight. Initial d was sweet for the first 2 stages, but the second two lacked storyline. It was just battle after battle. It got boring.

Wangan midnight was sweet. Has anyone else seen it?

[kenshinS14sks]

-cowboy bebop was awesome, music, animation, and storyline were great
-mononoke is a classic that needs to be watched and is even still good by today's standards
-ninja scroll is the standard by people's "introduction into anime" but now that i'm of age. . . it's just soft porn and there are a lot better animes out there
-initial d . . . was good maybe for like the first 5 minutes . . . into the first episode . . . and then it got boring really fast with badly repeated computer animated racing scenes, etc.

[powersteeringless180sx]

I've been watching Macross Frontier it's soooo good....

For some comedy I've been watching Ranma 1/2 and Desert Punk.

I just ordered a copy of Macross Do You Remember Love Yesterday.
