webcarrot Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Ah, yes of course, anime. Unfortunately I can't buy it where I am [no really, that's not just an excuse], so I just download [am 56k], or get it through friends. I can't find the space to put it all : Cowboy BebopTrigunHellsingNoirGundam WingChobitsSlayersLove HinaLain All great , but I won't bore you with the whole list Manga's great too, and can be found relatively easily online, have downloaded over 2.5 gigs already [ouch]. Check out I''s [if you can find it anymore, I think mangaproject.cjb.net has torrents now]Battle Angel AlitaHellsing [Although I think most groups stopped scanlating when it got licensed]Ichigo 100%Neon Genesis EvangelionShadow Lady [Any tips where I can find volumes 2 and 3 of this?] and of course, last but not least : Ranma 1/2 ! This manga totally cracks me up ! Anyway, I go on too long, you're probably all asleep by now:P, go here for more:http://www.noated.com
NeoMaster Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 I don't watch a lot of tv, but I do enjoy watching anime. My favourite series of all are the Rurouni Kenshin. I've seen the 95 episode series and the 6 ova's. I really like the story and everything. Another favourite of mine is Escaflowne, which im rewatching again. Current series that I watch are Wolf's Rain, Naruto and Gad Guard.
AntiWinner22 Posted February 6, 2004 Author Posted February 6, 2004 You guys buy the original american DVDs? I buy the Korean and Chinese versions that have a 26 episode series on 3 discs. Only $30 for Cowboy Bebop in both languages is a mighty good deal to me!
Wizard Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 I Mostly download the series i like/love/have interest in. Because its mostly aviliable in my area. And buying DVD's online, ugh, bad experiences there. I Got pretty big collection, all on CDr's
ovalprocess Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 i used to like anime a lot, but its become too mainstream. now i like to watch a lot of underground iranian cartoons... the artwork is CRAZY. i like ghost in the shell, spriggan, trigun, and hellsing.
Gryph Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 (edited) i used to like anime a lot, but its become too mainstream. now i like to watch a lot of underground iranian cartoons... the artwork is CRAZY. i like ghost in the shell, spriggan, trigun, and hellsing.Same here, except for the underground Iranian cartoons. I used to watch a lot of anime till I saw the 13th tape of Evanglion (before it got REALLY famous). I was so turned off by that tape that now I'm very wary when I buy (or rent) an anime. Spriggan is the latest awesome anime that I've seen in a while. When I used to watch anime, I was into these:GoldenboyThe SlayersRecord of Loddoss WarsCutey Honey (right when I hit puberty )Gunsmith CatsThe GuyverVampire Hunter D AkiraNinja Scroll (just the first one)Ghost in the Shell (I hear they're making a sequel or something)other random fighting game animes (Fatal Fury, Street Fighter, Battle Arena Toshinden etc.) Now I prefer real movies.

Agozer Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 There isn't a Ninja Scroll 2. Ninja Resurrection was just a very similar anime, but not a sequel...and it had nothing to do with Ninja Scroll, the protagonist wasn't even the same.
Gryph Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 I thought there were 3 of them that had ties together. Oh well, by then I stopped caring and just believed what my friend told me. Whatever it was, Ninja Ressurection sucked big time.
Thraxen Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Yup. Currently I'm keeping up with Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, and Planetes. I love the availability of fansubs these days. You can watch a show just 1-2 days after it airs in Japan. Good stuff.

Whatever it was, Ninja Ressurection sucked big time.There were three similar animes...The original Ninja Scroll and Ninja Resurrection... Before you say that I can't do math: Ninja Resurrection was in two parts, The Revenge of Jubei and Hell's Spawn. Both Ninja Scroll and Ninja Resurrection had a protagonist named Jubei (and looked very similar), but that wasn't the same Jubei. Edited February 6, 2004 by Agozer

Doesn't matter though because only Ninja Scroll was good. I remember some flockhead told me that the Jubei from Samurai Showdown is the Jubei in Ninja Scroll. I wanted to slap him.
ovalprocess Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 gryphon you might like the "new" ghost in the shell: stand alone complex tv series that just finished airing in japan.
Gryph Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Alright, I'll watch it if and when I get my hands on it. Thanks for the tip. I'll be on the look out for it.
Sturmvogel Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 (edited) Yeah I watch decent amount, but school and an aging comp. have hindered me a bit. Some awesome series to checkout: Vandread..spectacular!!Vision of EscaflowneWitch Hunter RobinNaruto Inuyasha (surprised no one mentioned this!!)Hellsing (yeah its well known now..)Junni Kokki...just spectacularRahxephon (like Eva but weirder)Heat Guy Jay (cool show, about a suave detective and his robot companion, kinda like Cowboy Bebop) Edited February 7, 2004 by Sturmvogel

Only $30 for Cowboy Bebop in both languages is a mighty good deal to me! That sounds suspicious. You need to watch out for bootlegs -- espcially in places like China.
