What anime are you currently enjoying?

Jasper · 05-07-2006, 00:05

i know we have at least a few anime fans on-board...we should try and increase that by spreading the anime-love.

i'm currently watching Elfen Lied, about to start watching Gunslinger Girl. on my to-get list are Ai Yori Aoshi vol 2 and Fruits Basket.

Elfen Lied is totally awesome...a little more violent than i was expecting, but it's wicked. for those who aren't aware, it's about a sweet, benevolent girl who has brutal, supernatural powers, and the ability to dismember a person from quite a distance. she's also able to stop bullets. episode one sees her washing up on a beach and being taken in by an unsuspecting couple, who aren't aware of her extraordinary powers.

I've never really wathced any of this type of stuff. The only film I've seen is Akira which I quite enjoyed although it seemed to go on for ages (not sure what the actual runtime is).

I might have to grab a film or two just to take another look

Any beginner recommendations?

For something a bit different try Habaine Renmei beautifully animated and shows relationships between charactors whilst having a hint of Ghibli charm

Also Wolf's Rain one of my favorite series and again a departure from the norm, nice fantasy setting and beautiful music

Blue Sky, Appleseed (the latest film) and Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex should all appeal

Appleseed (latest movie)

In the last two months I have watched "Castle in the Sky" several billion times.

Wolf's Rain is great

Can we mention fansubs?

Oh how I long to talk about fansubs.

Matblack · 07-07-2006, 07:29

I was watching Black Cat and Blood+ both great series and worth downloading.

Wooo

Blood+ is excellent so far. Really enjoying that show. Started off a bit slow and most of my friends gave up but I just knew it had to get better based on how the original film turned out. Bleach is also excellent. I love that its weekly. It has a great blend of comedy and action together with plenty of annoying "To be continued" messages.

Anime I have lying round to get into includes;

Naruto
Mushishi (sp)
Ergo Proxy
Noein
Samurai 7
Samurai Champloo
