Not for those with a weak constitution)Cowboy Bebop + The moive (I must buy the new remix edition with 5.1 doby digital sound.) Crest of the Stars/Banner of the Stars Gundam Wing Carried by the Wind Full Metal Panic (the entire Series ) Goddannar Maburaho MadLax Tenjo Tenge Mahoromatic Paranoia Agent Serial Experiments Lain X Tenchi Muyo(the entire 7 disk OVA) Parallel Dual! Lunar Legend Tsukihime Ma RahXephon Noir Excel Saga Love Hina Peacemaker Gunslinger Girl Hellsing FLCL Just to name a few.  |

Well I am a Anime watcher and a gamer.
Pushing 300 gigs of shows right now, not including my modest dvd collection. If y-all like Hellsing, look into Hellsing Ultimate. A little closer to the Manga. |

I watched Dragon Ball Z when it was on cartoon network. Also watched the original Dragon Ball (but it wasn't as interesting - and it was pretty dated too - I'm sure all of those were made back in the 80's or something).
DBZ was good though - I especially liked the Cell character. Dragon Ball GT didn't impress me much either though. I've never really gotten into it other than DBZ. I suppose I could, but I wouldn't know where to start. |

I have loved Anime and Manga since I first stumbled across Robotech in the mid 1980s. I liked Kimba too but I hardly count that as true Anime.
Robotech (also Macross... and make sure you pick up the new Robotech movie on DVD, it's quite well done) was the first "kid" storyline that had permanence ... characters died and they were treated with respect. There was even a love triangle (I may have been a little bit in love with Lisa Hayes) in and amongst all the giant robot gallantry. Even though I can't read a lick of Japanese, I have a pile of "Hobby Japan" and other Japanese magazines because they always had the coolest new robots. As for other series and movies, I have GiTS (and I'm a HUGE Shirow fan), and have a few other OAV movies that I need to re-watch as their name escapes me right now. Patlabor, etc. Adult Swim needs to get back to what made its Anime block a success: Giant Robots.

 Crap. Even the nerds are going to call me a nerd now.  In my defense, I also really like stuff like: The Old Macross series, and the later Robotech Some of the Gundam stuff is pretty fun Ghost in the Shell Appleseed Cowboy Beebop Trigun Nausicaa (although the books were a million times better) |

Gundam 0080 is really good.
I really enjoyed Tenchi Muyo when it was on Adult Swim. Escaflowne too. I'm overdue for my watching of "Akira". I did not like "Ninja Scroll" or "Princess Mononoke" but love "Nausicaa" - I agree w/DKProf, the books were amazing. Cowboy Bebop was fun the few episodes I caught. |

I used to watch Robotech all the time when I was younger and I had Rick Hunter's VF-1J toy. I never really understood the story or the more adult plot twists back then, but I was pretty devastated when Roy Fokker bought it. More recently I've delved into the Macross series.
I also used to watch Ghost in the Shell on Adult Swim which I enjoyed, but I haven't seen it in a few years. On occasion I watched Full Metal Alchemist, but I never really got into that one. |

I don't think you can get it legally (Not on Netflix). I watched a fan sub and it was so-so. Nothing can compare to Macross plus but, it was pretty good considering the hiatus. It did blow Shadow Chronicles away but that wouldn't be too hard to do anyway... (It's on youtube) |

'Tis my weakness.
I guess that I an atypical fan: I don't really game (never played an actual online game - LAN games at work notwithstanding), hate Star Wars and LOTR, and have no other "dorky" hobbies. Hell, I spend most of my time woodworking and golfing. But I love me some anime. Damn you AdultSwim for sucking me in with FLCL about four years ago.
Au contraire, mon frère. I would say that this may be true of the stuff licensed in America, but it is probably the other way around for the totality of anime. What percentage of the shit that is released in Japan is actually anime adaptations of H-games? Or dating-sims? |

+1 I don't really mean to shit on your thread, but I've never understood the appeal of most anime. I watched Robotech as a kid. That's about it. I sat through a few episodes of some weird ass show called Death Note with a friend who's a big anime fan/watcher. I had to leave after a few episodes.  I just could not get into it. So much weird shit that somebody on acid made up. Yeah this guy can think 63% (or some other percentage, I can't remember) better when he's sitting crouched over knees into chest. Who the fuck thought that up? And why is it some specific number? Nevermind these dead zombie angel guys that kill people.

A few I have not seen mentioned, mostly rather rough, PG13 at the least
Speed Grapher - Decent story, very dark and perverse setting Gantz - Nearly up there with Elfen Lied for blood and gore And more kid friendly Outlaw Star - think Cowboy Bebop light Haibane Renmei - slow, but really really pretty Last Exile - gets a bit rough at the end, but otherwise good for kids Eureka 7 - "Space" opera, worth watching if you can get over the whole "Mechs surfing in the sky? WTF?" factor |

I've seen some anime, but I'm not into/obsessed with it like some of my friends are. I've seen parts of or all of the following:
Bebop (series and movie) Trigun Dominion Tank Police Escaflowne Naruto Ghost In The Shell SAC Hellsing Mononoke No Hime Some of my friends watch some really dumb shit, like this show called Eyeshield 21 or something. Some dumb anime about football. And this one show called Prince of Tennis; best part about it was when the main character killed his idiotic self in the end. The intro music for that show is so fucking terrible and emo. Just thinking about it makes me want to cut the producers' wrists. |

Yeah, there tends to be a "WTF" moment in most Anime movies. One of my favorite movies of all time (and I forgot to mention it before) is "The Wings of Honneamise" ... which is a phenominal movie, with a great sense of humor. Then the main character tries to force himself on a girl.

Them is fighting words. For its genre, Death Note is about as good as it gets. If you can't get into that, you shouldn't bother with anything else. (I still think the show peaked when you-know-who died, but I haven't finished it yet, so I'll reserve final judgment). |

Ah Gundam 0080- Greek tragady in space, I actually wept at the end. Escaflowne, is a classic one of the must see anime even though its ten years old now. I own Viz's Nausicaa Perfect Collection 4 volume set- you know it took Myazaki 16 years to complete that manga and it almost gave him a nervous breakdown. You definently need to get all of Beebop and the movie. |

Anime is like any other media, 80-90 percent is crap. Now sometimes it may be FUNNY crap (intentonally or not) and therefore entertaining at least once, but its still crap. And unless you are willing to read subtitles, probably more than 90 percent of the English dub work is crap. Its like watching the original Japanese version is forbidden to US voice actors and directors. There are exceptions. Macross Plus had a good English dub (very surprising considering how long ago it was released). Ranma 1/2 had a good dub, Cowboy Beebop is a very good dub and I have had a number of very picky fans I know tell me they think the English version actually fits the mood better than the voice acting in the Japanese version. Strawberry Marshmallow has a very good English dub, one of the few I watch always in English. |

So she could totally relate to the "RAWR! TEEN ANGST!" Of course, when you realize that the entire series is an autobiographical piece about Hideki Anno's own psychosis, it starts making more sense. |
