Socoder -> Film + TV -> Anime Picks

Jayenkai	Been a while since I watched one, but Joe Mallozzi's blog (writer for Stargate) got me reminiscing. Mmmm.. Storylines that follow through!!! What are your faves? Joe picks his top 25 from what can only be described as a ginormous collection of dvds!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JL235	Evangelion and Ghost in the Shell rule. They are the best. Cowboy Bebop wasn't that great; I personally think it's way overrated. Ninja Scroll, Trigun and Death Note are others that were good. Cyber City (which isn't on the list) is a personal favourite of mine. And of course Akira.

Mog	Here's my pick: Ghost in the shell Lupin III Battle Angel Alita Fist of the north star Detroit Metal City YuYu Hakusho Escaflowne I'm on the fence about Cowboy Bebop. I loved it on up until the end- then i was left with a bitter taste in my mouth. For those who've seen it will understand but Seriously guys? Both of them? Fucking cop-out.... Also feel that way about Ghost in the shell: SAC, the ending seemed rushed... -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene

JL235	Mog Also feel that way about Ghost in the shell: SAC, the ending seemed rushed... I agree, it was a real anti-climax. But it does fit the whole SAC world perfectly.

Phoenix	I don't watch anime, but I really should give it a shot. What's the best starting point?

JL235	Get a series, watch it, end of. One thing that's really good with anime (and not so good with western TV) is that because it's all animated they can have less cheap talking sections. This means the plot can revolve at a much higher pace, which in turn is more exciting. I'd personally recommend Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex or Neon Genesis Evangelion. Both are very highly rated and critically acclaimed. You'll love them, like them but prefer something else, or hate all anime. Code Geass is another excellent series.

Jayenkai	Another vote for Neon Genesis Evangelion. The ending of that is a bit.. um.. ... .. urm.. .. But you'll love it! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Spare	Only thing Ive watched is death note I think, did like it.

Cower	I like a lot of anime, so let's see how many I can remember.. Monster Gurren Lagann Eureka Seven Fullmetal Alchemist (both series) Daughter of Twenty Faces Ghost in the Shell Code Geass Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Hellsing Trigun Kimi ni Todoke Cowboy Bebop Battle Angel Alita Fist of the North Star Toradora \|edit\| Berserk \|edit\| I haven't finished watching a few of them (Ghost in the Shell, Zetsubou Sensei, easily haven't finished Fist of the North Star, and probably one other but I can't remember which), but I generally finish watching everything I like. Also, unlike most people, I hate Evangelion. I honestly don't know how people can enjoy that trainwreck of a show.

JL235	Is Hellsing any good? Someone just recommended it to me.
Tue, 25 May 2010, 15:50
Cower	Very good, but if you don't like violence, it's not for you.
Tue, 25 May 2010, 15:54
ShadowIce	Ruroni Kenshin! HANDS down!
Tue, 25 May 2010, 16:12
JL235	Cower Very good, but if you don't like violence, it's not for you. Then it's for me!

Evil Roy Ferguso	I second most of Noel and Mog's lists, especially Fist of the North Star. Now that's a manly show. I also add: Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku (The Legend of Koizumi) Great Teacher Onizuka Slayers Yakitate!! Japan
Wed, 26 May 2010, 01:22
Cower	Oh yeah, I totally forgot to add Yakitate. Can't go wrong with that.
