Another Great thing from Japan!!!

Alright, not counting the cheesy Pokemon, Digimon, or any other kiddie shows of anime (which I heard are semi-good uncut) do you like it or not?

Anime is the best thing to come from Japan and the art and story line is what makes it so great!

So, if you do watch/collect/read/whatever anime, what's your fav and what do you like about? I know some people just totally hate it, but their are those true fans of it's artistic abilities and plotlines.

How did Initial D not get on the poll in an 'Automotive Forum?'

Gundam Wing freaking rocks. Hands down the best of all of those. There is so much politics and theory in that movie. :eek: I love that series. I also like:

Zoids
Yu Yu Hakusho
Dragon Ball
Initial D
Wangan Midnight
Rurouni Kenshin*
Trigun*
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Outlaw Star

* = freaking awesome!

WTF?!

What about Star Blazers ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Dragon Ball was just nutty enough and fun to watch.

Akira was the possibly the magnum opus of the anime manga genre when it was completed in 1988. And I surprised none of you seem to recognise it...

If someone has then I'd interested in hearing what you thought of it.

Own it on DVD. :)

But seriously... Am I the only one who remembers Star Blazers?!

Well I should have expected Ci5ic to own it!

If we're talking about earlier stuff from Japan - what about G-Force from Battle of the Planets?

Or Speed Racer... go speed racer, go speed racer go... hang on a sec.

Now I have stuck in My Saturday Morning Cartoon's Greatest Hits CD so I can listen to... Speed Racer Theme being played by Sponge!!! And Hong Kong Phooey by Sublime...

Im going to break into your house, remove your CD, burn me a copy, then put it back and you will never know!! :evillaugh

I cant find a copy of it anywhere, it stopped being sold new some time ago, and no one wants to sell a 2nd hand copy to real grovey. :(



And I always thought Sailor moon was the be all and end all of Anime?

Initial D- I've asked my mate to get me some comics when he goes to Japan this week :D

Speed Racer is c00l too

Moppie I bought my copy at Borders in the Sky City Leisure Complex (what was the Force Entertainment complex next to Aotea Square). It was a while ago but they had it when no one else did.

how could you leave Inital D off of the poll????:devil:

Voltron was my favorite, the lions.

On a side note, I also remember G-Force from way back in the day.

Gee DVS that might make you as old as me...

Sadly, but true. Going to be 30. U?

Nope, I passed that milestone a couple of years ago (well at least I think I do - something to do with a large amount of ethanol taken orally over a short time period.)

BTW you have a job very similar to the one I have or had until this afternoon.

Have a good one when you do get there and remember that it's good time to get those 10 year vaccination boosters (that way you just remember to get them done every birthday with a 0 in them) ie tetanus, polio and hep (I travel and in the outdoors a lot).

Will do!;)

I used to watch Voltron all the time until I moved, then moved again and lost which station it came on.

It sucks that America has all these show edited, except Toonami late nights on Saturdays.

G-Force, I think I remember that. What I can't think of are those space jets that turned into robots and the carrier was one giant robot! It's really annoying me that I can't think of it!

The reason I lefted out Initial D was due the fact I was concentrating on the show above and I ran out of room. :(

Initial D :)

I know where it is ;)

I might have to sneak in between lectures, however an Ex now apprently works there (thats what a BA in english gets you, a job in a book store) so it really will be a sneak. :D




And I just clicked to what Voltron was!
I used to watch it every afternoon after school!
:ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper

What, no Macross? ? ? Bummer.

MACROSS and ROBOTECH BABY!!!!!

oh well :D :D :sun: :flash:

ROBOTECH!!! That's the name of the show!!! That's SE-R!

Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman!!!! (Science Ninja Team Gatchaman) :D :D :D Butchered over and over to become Battle of the Planets/G-Force, and one or two other names. The original (subtitled) Gatchaman is the best. It rocks :D :D

In fact, there shall be a new AF crew: The AF Gatchamaniac crew, and I shall be member # 1 :D

Akira was coooooooool I remember that as a kiddy :D

I just bought the first 2 dvd's in the gundam wing series.

Robotech
Macross
Macross Plus
Akira
Gundam
the bubblegum crisis
voltron

they all rocked.

I must get more Gatchaman. - And watch your Gandam Wing stuff too; though I've never heard of it, the consensus seems to be that it's very :coolguy:

Gundam Wing is no doubt the best of the Gundams! Maybe an Anime Crew would be better and more broad? I never heard of the show you mentioned Moon.

The models aren't as hard as they say though, but they still look really :cool:

Here's a start (http://www.vacuform.com/Gatchaman/GatchMain.htm)

I love that show! I used to watch that all the time on Cartoon Network! :ylsuper:

I'll be the second crew member!!!! :jump:

I just found another forum on Anime while looking for a new avatar! It's great!

Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman = Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. Gatchaman was originally used to refer just to Ken (aka Mark) the commander, but later came to be used to refer to the team as a whole.

So, we are Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman. http://forums.skylinesdownunder.com/images/smilies/karate.gif

:huh: I can't find that. Who be that? :confused:

IT BE THE CONDOR!!! :D

I thought Outlaw Star was a cool show.. it was different.


Gundam kicked ass.

Dragon Ball Z.. its cool but they draw the story out too long in some cases. Any of the saga's took 12 too many episodes. I mean whole episodes were wasted watching a guy change from one form to another.

What was that show they had on Cartoon Network... it was about a Submarine... like Blue Submarine #6 or something? That was a sweet mini-series.. great animation. Weird story though haha.

All the Anime I watch is uncut and straight from Japan, not this American crap on Cartoon Network.

I watch:

Initial D
Riding Bean
Dragonball Z
Dragonball
Silor Moon
Akira
Ghost In The Shell
Evangelion
Macross
Patlabor

Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Well transforms and a lot of heavey breathing and squinting. That is my one beef with DBZ. As for that show on CN, it was Blue Sub #6. It was interesting. I miss Thundercats though. Hmm, that gives me an idea for a new thread.

Wish people would put close-off dates into their polls.:rolleyes:

What about Ghos in the Shell? I wish I could get a collection of Wangan Midnight stuff! Battle of the Planets ROCKED!!! Sorry about replying to an old thread but this is a cool thread! I don't get access to a lot of the cool stuff so I find out about it from you guys! I have YET to see an episode of Initial D:( I was raised on the original Speed racer and have a re-print of the original Manga issue!

My favs are:

Initial D
Princess Mononoke
Trigun
Gunsmith Cats
Love Hina
Golden Boy
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Gundam Wing
Gundam X

and Blood: The Last Vampire was pretty good too
