What Anime do you like?

Loved both Vampire Hunter D films.

Watched Ghost In The Shell but wasn't too keen, maybe if I watch it a second time I'll like it more.

The Final Fantasy 7 film Advent Children was really good but I still think they could have done better.


As for series my favourite would have to be Tenchi. Leaves you with a lovely warm fuzzy feeling inside. Ryo-Oh-Ki is the cutest thing!

Liked Hellsing a lot, darker and more in depth.


I'm also a secret Pokemon fan.

I haven't watched that much Anime, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
What is your favourite?

Re: What Anime do you like?

Personally Ghost in the Shell was my favourite anime (in terms of pure story, it's probably one of the more coherent ones out there! )
Other good ones are Cowboy Bebop, Castle in the Sky (my favourite Ghibli production) and I quite like the new Sky High (may be Wonderful Days in the US) for the sheer beauty of it's animation blending minatures, 2D animation, CGI & real world plates

Yeah, Wonderful Days it was in Norway as well. Saw it in a theater one year ago. It is really a beautiful movie. The motorcycle scenes, the gunfight in the canteen, and that scene where the truck went through the window. And the song was beautiful as well.

Unfortunately they hadn't made as much of an effort with the story.

Re: What Anime do you like?

I have seen quite a few mangas, my brother used to be a huge fan, he has kinda gone off them now.

I have seen Akira a few times, ghost in the shell, princess monoko, shadow skill, street fighter... I admit I cannot remember many of the names.

I have also sen some very, very sick mangas.
Some which I could only view for 15 minutes before I had to turn them off.
It makes me wonder about the people who think them up, surely they must be very disturbed.

Now, now, remember this: Animé are animated features/series, while manga are comic strips and graphic novels.

Well, that's the standard complaint with most anime isn't it?
Either generic paint-by-numbers popcorn sci-fi/fantasy or mental, headcase "make no sense" surrealism.
