Man i tried to get into Naruto but it's boring as. It has more talkng shit and less fighting then DBZ.

I almost gave up with the naruto the original
but shippuden is really good besides some retarded plot/characters

about blood+ i thought that was rubbish i watched 20-30 eps and it appeared to go absolutly nowhere so i stopped watching it

[stereomonkey]

Oh, and Full Metal Alchemist.  The rehashed series does the manga justice

Well you need to watch all 50
I thought it was great (but I do like Vamps) - probably my 2nd fav series after GITS SAC1.
Though ive only watched blood+ once (fansub) while ive watched all the GITS stuff at least 3 times, hopefully it holds up as well with repeat viewings.

Fuck yeah! You reading the new Blackest Night arc? That shit is arc of the year imo.

I just saw Grave of the Fireflies tonight. Not as good as I was expecting. Very depressing...

Uhh yeah, that was kind of the point...

I remember liking perfect blue quite a lot.

[geneterror]

Perfect Blue is AWESOME, well it was when it came out I haven't seen it since then.

Grave of the fireflies is one of my all time favourite anime movies even if it is fucking depressing!

In terms of animation quality Ghost In The Shell: Innocence is still one of the best movies I have seen.

Has anyone else seen Aachi & Ssipak? I fuckin' loved it. Was good to see high quality animated movie out of Korea, also made it seem even more original becasue it doesn't stick to established traditions we have become used to from Japan. Shit is funny as fuck (literally if you have seen the movie) I have it on my comp of anyone wants a copy.

[samurai black]

aww man, aachi and ssipak is amazing. i had a pirate copy too, and i liked it so much i went and picked up the dvd  

and was perfect blue the one with the popstar and her nutcase stalker? if it is, then i liked that one as well. still waiting for jb to bring afro samurai: ressurection, so i can have a legit copy


also, this isnt really anime, but any of you guys watch the venture bros.? its friggin awesome

[electric]

I watched Perfect Blue the other day... fucking amazing movie, both in plot and animation quality (for an early 90s anime)

I also watched Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade the other week as well... So amazing... It's quite sombre, but it's really well animated and has an interesting plot... I'm sure a lot of you would like it

[fluxcore]

I liked jin roh as well, when I re-watched it it wasn't as compelling though.

[samurai black]

i hated jinroh cause the whole thing just went over my head.

[geneterror]

I liked jin roh as well, when I re-watched it it wasn't as compelling though.

I agree, once you know the story it's not as good a second time.
Visually awesome all the way through though.

[maelgrim]

Jin Roh is ok - definitely not so great a 2nd time.

Just remembered some more I enjoyed:
Wings of hominesse
Metropolis
Princess Monoke
Tekkonkrinkreet
Paprika

Well if I knew it was depressing I wouldn't have watched it. Why would anyone want to get depressed from watching a film?

Thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought like this.

[fluxcore]

I like a lot of films that have depressing endings, I think it's unrealistic and twee to end every movie with 'happily ever after'. Just as a particularly strange example, I really hated in Wall-E that he regained his memory and everything, I thought it was really awesome that he basically got smashed to bits and then forgot everything. I think that would have been an excellent end.

Anyway, I take it you did absolutely no research into Grave of the Fireflies before watching. A war movie where a sibling dies, yeah, SURE TO BE A BARREL OF LAUGHS AYE
