I've seen complete collections of Full Metal Alchemist up on the newsies recently, but I don't know anything about it so I didn't grab it. I guess i'll go see what it's about. Thanks doods.

I just read a *small* synopsis of Rahxephon and it sounds like bizzaro Eva :x

Don't pay much attention to the first few episodes and defenitely don't give up. You'll see how much of a better show this is when you get into the real "meat" of the show.

@ Samurai Champloo 16

Samurai Champloo 16 is another two-parter, probably has to do with the fact that it will be switching networks after the 17th episode. Anyways, finally starting to get bits and pieces of the samurai who smells like Sunflowers. Highlight of this episode is the guest appearance by Ohtsuka Akio who plays Batou in Ghost in the Shell and Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid. Mr. Green

Melody of Oblivion keeps getting better and better but I just hope that Gainax doesn't botch the ending like they are so well known for.

Mahou Shojoutai Arisu has got me really hooked and I really hope somebody licenses this series. The animation, music, and the zany atomsphere of the series is just great plus the character designs are really good. However, the most important thing is that it has a very interesting storyline and characters. Didn't someone say that this anime is being done by a very small group of people? I guess that would explain the 4 week wait between episode 17 and 18.

To try not and scare you off because of what John said, Gundam Seed is not your average Gundam. It has lots and lots of depth. And tons of great characters too. Tongue

I know there are lots of Gundam haters out here, and somehow, they all seem to love Seed. Odd huh?

Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2004 11:01 pm Post subject: Re: Anime Pub Thread v.503

Seed takes the best aspects of every Gundam series and combines it into one amazing Gundam anime. You can see the similarities in previous Gundams but Seed just manages to capture the same greatness.

Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2004 11:03 pm Post subject:

Well, admittedly I wasn't absolutely hooked on Seed until Alaska. That was when the ownage started.

Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2004 11:22 pm Post subject: Re: Anime Pub Thread v.503

You missed Narutaru and Da Capo in that list.

@ Seta:

This took me the SHORTEST amount of time to do, and yet it's my favorite by far. Again, if you hate it, whatever, tell me.

One with your background, and one just shopped and cropped.

Hey Leftover, could you make a sig with Canti (red), and if possible add in this symbol:

?

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 3:59 am Post subject:

Yeah sure, but I'm going to move all my sig stuff over to the Fan Submission forum. So head there to check up on things.

Yeah, I'm sure she'll be back at the end though. Her new haircut (that you'll see in s2 ep 6 or 7) is interesting. Mr. Green

Mikey, I think I would actually use a Sousuke/Chidori sig, but they both have to be in it. I figure you have plenty of ammo for that?

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 4:32 am Post subject:

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I've already watched up to episode 7 (it was episode 6), and I figured her hair would be even shorter. The first time I saw her, I thought she was Rei.

Also, the first person in that shot of the University cafeteria looks so much like Yukari-sensei it's uncanny.

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 4:35 am Post subject:

Damn right I do Doom, I'll throw ya on the list.

Just finished watching Paranoia Agent (yeah, I'm really behind of that series) today and that was a really messed up ending but it was good. Can't wait for the DVD's. Mr. Green

Does anybody know how many episodes Otogizoushi is suppose to be? Judging from the current episode it looks to be only 13 episodes long, which is kind of dissapointing as I wanted to see more from this series.

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 5:10 am Post subject:

I was discussing that with Garbo yesterday and I agree, it looks like a 13 ep deal, but I certainly wouldn't mind more.

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 5:28 am Post subject: Re: Anime Pub Thread v.503

I guess they have to end the series since they are starting a few other projects but I would like to see more from this series.

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 5:43 am Post subject:

Finally watched ep 155 of IY.

Yeah, bite me, I love the show.

Mr. Green

And so we wait for the next 150+ ep Rumiko series...

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 4:40 pm Post subject:

The only Rumiko series not worth watching is Ranma.

The rest of them are totally worth it.

love

I like Ranma too, but the anime is god awful.

In my opinion it goes in this order:

Maison Ikkoku
Urusei Yatsura
Inu Yasha
Rumic Theater
Ranma

MY personal tastes however:

Urusei Yatsura
Maison Ikkoku
Inu Yasha
Rumic Theater
Ranma

Hahaha, Mikey's so funny.

Maison Ikkoku is the only one I think is a "must see all the way through". The rest you can watch at your lesuire.

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 9:29 pm Post subject:

I'm not the biggest Rumiko fan either, but I do say yes to MI.

Haven't seen UY, need to :O!

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 9:31 pm Post subject:

Urusei Yatsura is pretty good. I'd rate Inuyasha higher than it though, for some reason. I just like it more Mr. Green

Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 10:42 pm Post subject: Re: Anime Pub Thread v.503

Urusei Yatsura is just flat out my favorite anime ever. Ever. I mean flat out fan boy extreme favorite. I haven't seen it all (it's impossible to find) but there's just this charm to it (in both anime and manga form) that has kept me glued to the tv or computer watching it endlessly.

I think the voice of Ataru is the best voice I've ever heard (can't describe, it's just crazy and I love it), the sound of Lum flying has me giddy, the way Takahashi draws them is adorable, and the way the entire cast can just bounce off of one another effortlessly in EVERY DAMN EPISODE is something I've rarely seen done (save Azumanga).

Ah, I'm floating off again love

.

That's my reasoning though. Maison Ikkoku is probably her best work, and ironically the only one with the no cracked alien, super powered, hi-jinks of that sort either. I love it because in practically every other anime she's done (save RT) there is an element of romance there, but it's put on the back burner for most everything else; action, comedy, and so on. In MI she manages to make romance a HUGE (if not the most important) aspect whilst being able to factor in everything else she's known for.

As with Inu Yasha, well it's the characters again. Yes, the plot has had its points where it's dragged on, but when the show does focus on its characters, and progresses them, it's just unbeatable for me. The sense of humor is great too. I loved the three monkeys episode, that was gold, as was the drunken hot springs.

Right, I'll stop now.

Mr. Green

Posted: Tue Sep 21, 2004 12:57 am Post subject: Re: Anime Pub Thread v.503

Mikey is a traitor to Escaflowne? Sad

For Takahashi? I don't believe that.

Posted: Tue Sep 21, 2004 1:43 am Post subject: Re: Anime Pub Thread v.503

Oh, see there's a difference.

My favorite anime EVER is Urusei Yatsura.

The best anime I've EVER seen however is Escaflowne.
