Akira was a good movie. Armitage 3 was good. Cowboy Bebop movie was alright. I'd like to get into a good anime, last one I watched was Naruto and it got reaaaally gay.
Naruto is alright, the only reason I got into it was because this kid I know said I would love Kisame, but for anime moviez the only movie that got my heart racing was Perfect Blue
Damn straight, my personal favorite. The original with subtitles is so much better than the dubs though.
Lol I have been on and off with the subs and dubs for Berserk today, I had to keep switchin' thru, but I could careless about it, as long as I see Guts fuckin' people up, it's all the same to me
The manga is at least 100 times better and I thought the anime was damn excellent. Edit: And its a lot more violent in content as well. Give the original Bubblegum Crisis OVA and Appleseed (The movies are better then the OVA) a try, probably right down your alley, Cyber City Oedo 808 is also in the same vein, but no where near as good. For more supernatural try 3 X 3 Eyes and if you liked the mindfuck aspects try Serial Experiments Lain and Shadow Star Narutaru. Also if you liked the fighting aspects of Naruto, but hated the really fucking stupid parts give Hunter X Hunter a try, 100% better in every aspect and removes all the crap filler.
I've been watching anime like a fiend lately. gundam 00 S2 is getting more and more awesome. Toradora is perfect for the slice of life genre and is one of those romances you don't mind watching because the story is actually good. This last week of toaru no index was awesome and next week seems very promising. Kannagi is on the top this season though. Very original for the somewhat common plot. It's dirrected by the guy who did the first 4 episodes of Lucky Star and this show is pure comedy. I also just recently started Gintama, which takes place in edo japan, though in the 1800's there are aliens and it's futuristic. insainly funny show, the main character reminds me of Onizuka. The show has no plot but reflects on society so it could go on forever. Along with gintama i'm watching Eyeshield 21, which is about (American) football, the plays don't make much sense and the main character stats of whiney, but its a damn good sports show which I'm not normally intrested in.
You know I finished Berserk on Saturday and I gotta say I was disappointed on how they just cut it short like that
I absolutely LOVE Berserk (especially the theme song) and I will agree that the ending is very disapointing.. Especially since they have no plans as of now to make a second series. But still, Berserk is one of the greatest anime series out there
I thought Guts was just a ridiculous character and it just kills me that they haven't made a second season at all
Tons of great titles already mentioned, I don't think anyone mentioned this yet though [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eFKDEd8__o"]YouTube - Kamina's Giga Drill Breaker![/ame]
I am a giant anime buff, but I just can't for the life of me read manga... I even tried to when it came to the Beserk series for the simple fact that it is so awesome... but still, no way. not to mention the fact that each little book costs a fortune and takes about 20 minutes to read. But I do have the awesome War Box edition of Beserk! on my dvd rack... and I got it for only $20
Yeah, the price is a killer, I need to learn to read Japanese and start buying the Japanese versions (Less editing and far cheaper). For anime I need to gather a whole bunch of energy to get into it, but with manga I just pick up a book and before I know I am already craving the next one.
