Anime

[JV3r8]

Let it be known that I watch anime =3

For those interested, I'm currently watching or re-watching Spice and Wolf, Clannad, Black Lagoon, Hellsing Ultimate, Claymore, Darker Than Black, Gundam 00, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Welcome to the NHK, Rosario + Vampire and a few others.

I started watching anime with Robotech and Macross series in the pre-toonami days after school.

I soon moved on to Ghost in the Shell, Akira and Jin-Roh.

From there I branched out in 'fan service' type anime while ADV was gaining popularity as a post-production company.

I currently claim to have eclectic taste in anime.

I guess you can say my avatar is a symbol of that very idea...I doubt most anime fans could name the anime, let alone the character.

I still like robotech and macross.


I use to play the game, after I played D&D

Robotech is good.  Though for me it hasn't aged well.  I bought the complete series on DVD on a whim and wasn't all that super great by today's standards.

For anima I like Hellsing / Hellsing Ultimate, Berserk (though I didnt like the ending until I understood what the heck was going on from the manga), Last Wolf Brigade, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop (which I avoided for the longest time based on its name alone), Gungrave, Samurai Champloo (another one I avoided for the longest time based on the name), some Ghost in the Shell stuff and Trinity Blood was ok for a while.

Not really watching anything right now as I'm going through the back seasons of The Wire.  But, in my netflix queue I have Black Lagoon, Wolf's Rain, Witch Hunter Robin, Bleach, Basilisk and the new Appleseed movie waiting to go.

They're finally releasing the japanese live action version of Death Note in the US as well that I'm looking forward to.

Big anime fan here. I started with Yamato myself. And Captain Harlock. Of course Robotech followed. I think my favorite is the orginal Appleseed, not the CG (although the CG is very good). I am looking forward to EX Machina to come out. A company called Hot Toys has made 1/6th scale action figures of Dunan and Briarious. I have them pre-order. They should be out this month.

Trigun is a good one as well. I love Vash, he is hilarious. Kusinagi (sp?) from Ghost in the Shell is a great character as well. I watch all the Gundam stuff as well. Anything with big robots is cool in my book.

Interesting topic.
