| Re: Recommend: Anime Has anyone watched Full Metal Alchemist? Or Flame of Recca? These two are really good.I think I have all the flame of recca episodes, and most of the FMA. What else?um... i have lain, hellsing, kiki's delivery service, tonari no totoro, pirncess mononoke, spirited away, perfect blue, ghost in the shell 1/2/SAC ep 1-4, sword for truth, ninja scroll/seires 1-3, chrono crusade1-18, elfen lied 1-6, X, macross plus 1-4, cowboy beebop,arika. and i can't remember the rest of what i own. i think i got most of it though. Then you have all the stuff I have watched that I don't own, which is a lot. My friends have not as much as me, but its all different series and movies. Oh, i forgot FLCL. That is a mind trip. Almost and just as much as lain. it's crazy. and the manga is also really good  I think there is only 6 episodes in the series and I'm missing 5! AGH! the file was coruppted on the disk. I was very sad. |

| Re: Recommend: Anime I have to say, all of the Studio Ghibli I've seen are great: Spirited Away, Mononoke, Kiki, Totoro, Naucissa were mentioned. My favourites though are probably 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky' and 'The Crimson Pig'. I was fortunate enough to catch them both at a Studio Ghibli season at my local independent cinema. Laputa is a sort of steampunk adventure with the coolest robots I have ever seen. The Crimson Pig is about a pig who is a fighter pilot in the second world war (he is not crimson, his plane is). Really dry humour and some great dogfights. (Guilty admission) Sorry if someone has mentioned either of these earlier in the thread, I only read the last 10 or so postings. Has anyone seen 'Blood: The Last Vampire' (from the creators of 'Ghost in the Shell')? I bought it on a whim and it's only about 45 minutes long, so I can't decide whether I like it or not. It looks beautiful but there is hardly any time for character development or anything else much. |

| Re: Recommend: Anime I was addicted to Gundam Wing when it aired on the Cartoon Network several years ago. I never really got into the other Gundam shows however. Brian, have you checked out Princess Mononoke yet? It is excellent. Another name I will add to the list is Fist of the North Star, the original movie version (not the series that came out later). |

| Re: Recommend: Anime Subbed vs. Dubbed an age-old dispute. Subs - For non-lazy people that don't mind reading through out the whole anime. Voice acting is slightly better (depending), and it is also slightly more accurate. Dubbed - People that don't want to sit there and listen to japanese they cannot understand, and would rather not read it. Not all dubs are bad. Honestly it is up to the person's preference. Both have pros and cons. Subs may have better voice acting, but sometimes the text flies by too fast or the person is a slow reader. Or the subs much like dubs do not do the anime much justice. Me? I watch it both ways, it does not make me any less of an anime fan. =) Reccomendation: Watch whatever you can get a hold of. Watch it however you want. Decide what you like and don't like and how you like to watch it. Animes I have seen/Would Reccomend: El Hazard, Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals, Final Fantasy: Unlimited, Hellsing, Metropolis (Recommended: very good, I think), Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies (Reccomended: very good, but very sad.), Saiyuki, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Ruin Explorers, Slayers, Legend of Crystania, Excel Saga. |

| Re: Recommend: Anime If your just getting into anime then some essentials are: Laputa - Miyizaki/Studio Ghibli - beatiful visuals and heart-warming story Princess Mononoke - has it all Spirited Away - Miyizaki/Studio Ghibli - great story Wings of Honneamise - First of the Big budget animes i think Perfect Blue - amazing story Metropolis - An amazing mix of early 90's jazz feel with robots, giving a pre-matrix feel to the world (especially if you've seen Animatrix's second renaissance) Blood the Last Vampire - Amazing visuals All are very good to look at and with plenty of story too. |
