Hoagie_one · « **Reply #7 on:** May 03, 2005, 01:43:47 pm »

Noir is pretty good too.

ErikRuud · « **Reply #8 on:** May 03, 2005, 02:01:21 pm »

Battle of the Planets and Star Blazers were on when I was a kid too!

I watched a lot of Robotech on TV in my twenties.

Speed Racer! (It IS anime, just very old)

I generally prefer the movie length animes.

Akira
The Profesional: Golgo 13
Battle Angel
Ninja Scroll
Vampire Hunter D
Doomed Megalopolis (Although some of it is pretty disturbing)

Cowboy Bebop
Armitage
Battle Angel
Ghost in the Shell

Have seen the entire Escaflowne series but didn't care for it too much.

grueinthebox · « **Reply #12 on:** May 03, 2005, 05:46:05 pm »

A few that haven't already been mentioned...

Beck
Azumanga Daioh
Stellvia of the Universe
Samurai Champloo
Serial Experiments Lain
Battle Athletes Victory
Now and Then, Here and There
Love Hina

For Otraotaku, I'd highly recommend checking out Samurai Champloo if you haven't already, based on the list in the original post...

xar256 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2005, 06:06:19 pm »

Inuyahsa
Vision of Escaflowne <Loved the show...The movie OK - A totally different retelling of the series>
Cowboy Bebop
Ninja Scroll <Cut my teeth in the anime world with this one>

Also heard good things about Bubblegum Crisis

Xar256

ErikRuud · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2005, 08:09:19 pm »

I have seen some of the BubbleGum Crisis but they didn't impress me all that much. There not bad, but not great.

JB · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2005, 10:15:54 pm »

I recommend Vision of Escaflowne.

As well as Shoji Kawamori's other creation, Macross(or just MAcross Plus if you can't handle low-budget animation).

On a totally unrelated note, Magical Project S is good if you'd like a magical girl spoof

On the manga side, I strongly recommend Magic Knight Rayearth. I haven't seen most of the anime, but as I understand it they dropped one of my favorite plot twists in entertainment history.

Similar recomendation goes to Wish.

TalkingOctopus · « **Reply #16 on:** May 03, 2005, 11:18:16 pm »

Full Metal Panic
Monster

crashwg · « **Reply #17 on:** May 04, 2005, 12:28:39 am »

I've never realy been into Anime at all untill they started showing Ghost in the Shell: SAC on Adult Swim. I have vol 1, 2 & 4 on DVD so far!

My GF is totally into Fullmetal Alchemist. I think it's pretty cool too, but she's like obsessed! She's got vol 1 & 2 so far.

NiN^_^NiN · « **Reply #18 on:** May 04, 2005, 07:40:54 am »

I love Rurouni Kenshin it's a great series

i spent $720 on the full dvd set to get it

I don't have to much time to watch anime but i got spirited away for Xmas and i must say that is a very good movie.

It is kind of a kids movie but it has some wonderful scenes its like a moden version of lupin III (style wise)

i reccomend it fully

Harry Potter · « **Reply #19 on:** May 04, 2005, 08:58:20 am »

Steamboy is pretty good.

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #20 on:** May 04, 2005, 10:48:19 am »

Lain is a good series. MY favorite series by far is Neon Genesis Evangelion. That series kicks --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- (although the movie: End of Evangelion was far better than the end in the series.) There is even a live-action Evangelion in the works.

FLCL is good, too.

Evangelion & Record of Lodoss War

ive yet to see a better series than those 2, as far as movies, princess mononoke is badass

bionicbadger · « **Reply #26 on:** December 29, 2005, 06:12:00 pm »

Crayon Shinchan (have the manga too)
Video Girl Ai (have the manga too)
most of Miyazaki's stuff (have some of the manga)
Magic Knight Rayearth (have the manga too)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

Used manga are super cheap in Japan, its just a pain in the ass to bring 50lbs of them back overseas.

when I was stationed in Japan we would watch anime all the time... of course it was in japanese so we wouldn't understand it... We would just drink beer turn the sound down then make up our own word to what they were saying...

it was funny

LOL! RayB shows his true colors.

The series I'm currently watching is Samurai Champloo, Gantz and Ghost in the Shell SAC2. I just finished Elfin Lied.

lmao... you guys may wanna try naruto (after the first few episodes*)... (but stay far away from the english dubs) owww... "my ears ran red"

Witchboard · « **Reply #37 on:** February 15, 2006, 10:05:57 pm »

I've caught a couple on Cartoon Network. I'll wait for them to be released on DVD so I can watch the English subtitles. I usually don't watch them Englished dubbed.

wana10 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 15, 2006, 11:12:39 pm »

my list includes a lot of the above but the top of my list is anything by miyazaki...

Is that Urotsukidoji? For some reason that Japanese word is easier for me to remember than the english translation.

I rented it back in the very early ninties from a mom and pop video rental joint who had it with other "Japanese cartoons" in the rack next to the Disney/family stuff. The thousand weener'd super raper demon thing made a nice contrast to Donald Duck.

farmecologist · « **Reply #40 on:** February 16, 2006, 11:14:21 am »

Thanks all, good thread! I'm not really much of an anime expert. However, I'll have to say that if Netflix is good for one thing, is that it 'recommends' DVDs that I never would have even considered.

Akira showed up on my Recommendations list, I rented it, and am now a big fan of Anime. I have also rented Coboy Bebop, Evangelion, Rahxephon, and a few others. Now I have some more stuff to add to my queue!

clanggedin · « **Reply #41 on:** February 16, 2006, 02:35:35 pm »

G-Force
Star Blazers
Robotech

There is an awesome Megas XLR episode where they fight a team based on G-Force.

yup, you show that movie to pretty much anyone now and it will turn them into Anime Freaks.. Great place to start*

I didnt like Dragon Ball Z that much ive got 2 the DVDs

samurai pizza cats. i used to love this on saturday morining watching it with my bowl of frosites, my mum loved it too as it kept me quiet for 30 mins.

Ghost in the shell is one of my favs at the mo ive got Series 1 & 2 and ther film and they dont dissapoint.

another series im collecting is Yu-Gi-Oh ive got the first 13 DVD's and the film, i know there is over 40 DVDs released but im waiting for them to be converted to region 2 before i buy them.

I remember Channel 4 did a manga/anime season with film per night some time ago (about 10 years) late night, it was really good, i wish they would do that again
