Who watches Anime? (Page 4 of 822)
Are you liking Haruhi? And as much as I like Gundam, 0083 is not my favorite. I own it, and I do love the dogfight sequences, but the badly written attempt at a love story was out of place. |

| Second episode of the Hellsing OVA is better than the first; much less rushed. Also, Jan Valentine is still a whiny bitch, but Luke Valentine is actually much more badass than in the tv series or even the manga. Still goes out like a bitch though, which is as it should be. I'm a bit disappointed they revealed that the Third Reich is behind the Millenium organization's vampire experiments though. |

On way I've found to (potentially) get people into anime is AMV (anime music videos). It gives people a "trailer" of the show without having to force something to sit through a series. Good ones for some series: Azumanga Daioh Beyond the Clouds RahXephon Evangelion FLCL Paranoia Agent The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya The quality sucks. You can download the better version from www.animemusicvideos.org |

Here is another Eva AMV. Music by The Evolution Control Committee |
"Rocked by rape" somehow seems fitting when talking about Eva. "Tons of cocaine..."

Everyone seems to love the "Tons of cocaine" part

I strongly suspect you mean LSD not cocaine, or have you not watched Evangelion? |
Democrats like five of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights. Republicans like the other five. Libertarians like all ten. - mtk
We were talking about a scene from that AMV. However, if you want to get specific, the drug of choice when talking about Eva are anti-depressants. To wit, about episode 14 when Hideaki Anno stopped taking his.

AMV Hell 3 is the best of the series. AMV Hell 2 had some good ones, but overall wasn't as funny. AMV Hell 0 is just... disturbing. Disturbing as only the Japanese can be. |

He is the epitome of a true ARFcommer. And hence why he's my avatar. (Had to replace that pesky Glock with a 1911, of course, though) I believe EVERONE here on ARF would appreciate at least some of FMP, and definitely most (if not all) of Foumoffu. The Steyr TMP/SPP "ad" in the first ep of Foumoffu is just classic! ETA - Oh fuck yes. I just found it on YouTube - www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_jOS2e2y-I |

Or the scene in that same ep where he some how pulls out this massive pile of weapons that he was CCWing |

don't much care for FMP... Except Fumofu... love it. I'm not a big mech anime fan... The only exceptions are Patlabor and Nadesico. Both are comedies and Nadesico makes fun of Mech animes... |

How can you not like FMP? Its got robots and ccw in high schools. Sousuke Sagara should be ARFCOM's anime mascot He's a socially awkward loner with a ton of guns. Sousuke Sagara |

Heads up, anime fans and DVD collectors. DeepDiscountDVD is having a scary good sale. They already have the lowest prices around, but for the next two weeks they have an additional 20% off (promo code: SUPERSALE). This is what I just picked up: Venture Brothers Season 2 Box Set Ghost in the Shell: SAC Box Set His and Her Circumstances Box Set Boogiepop Phantom Box Set Invader Zim Box Set Perfect Blue Millennium Actress Genshiken Box Set Vision of Escaflowne Box Set for $172 and free shipping.  That is a hell of a deal.

Don't know if it's been said already, but....2 posts on ar15.com, and this is one of them? I'm going to guess you're not old enough to own a gun yet? |
+1, the very fact he said that means he's never seen any in his life. |

They're showing ads now saying they're going to have an official anime night starting Mondays next week at 8PM/9PM central time. Based on the ads, it looks like they're not going to be very censored either. I'm not a huge anime fan, but I didn't recognize any of the stuff they showed. |

Official SciFi statement. They'll also be playing: -Solid State Society (Ghost in the Shell movie, more than likely high quality.) -Ninja Scroll (looks pretty good on paper.) -Blood: The Last Vampire (The series is okay, hopefully the movie is too.) -Read or Die (Looks mediocre.) -Blackjack (Looks boring, but might have potential.) -Tokko (Looks really good.) -Noein (Looks kind of weak.) -Streetfighter 2-V (The game was great, anime looks dumb.) Haven't heard of alot of them, some sound kind of lame. ETA: I also added a first thought rating to the animes based on my search of details and plot ideas. |

Ani-Monday SciFi SCI FI today announced Ani-Monday, a weekly anime programming block, Monday nights from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. (ET/PT) beginning June 11. Ani-Monday will feature a collection of movies, series and shorts from Starz Media's successful anime distribution arm, Manga, and marks SCI FI's first foray into original late-night programming. SCI FI's Ani-Monday will feature the exclusive premiere of the anime phenomenon Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society. In addition, Ani-Monday will feature such films as Ninja Scroll, Blood, The Last Vampire, Read or Die and Blackjack. The anime block will also be home to the premieres of such new genre series as Tokko, Noein and such classic series as Street Fighter II–V. EDIT: Whoops! You beat me to it. |

+ eleventy billion. You forget to mention that he sees terrorists/enemies everywhere and draws down on everything.  A great scene is when he's at an arcade playing one a shooter game with the fake gun. He runs out of ammo so he draws his glock 26(yes he's a glock man) and shoots the screen. I'm sure someone here have done the same.

From what I heard Anno worked on several Animes that failed very badly. So he was really fucked in the head then. He planed to kill him self if Eva failed. |
Verdict: 50-50 on choices. Probably had to do with licensing fees. eta: OK, other than GITS:SSS, all the other titles are Manga USA distros. I'm sure that SciFi got some sweetheart deal to show a couple of new titles (Noein and Tokko) along with good titles (ROD, Blackjack). |
