OT Anime Thread.

[nemo_wolf]

Akira shouldnt in theory really make a whole lot of sense. Akira is based entirely on the manga. And like berserk they leave alot of the important details out because everyone that watches the anime in japan has or will read the manga. Granted here in the states were the manga comes in like 4 volumes and retails for something like 25-30 bucks a pop its not exactly easy to find in your average book store. Ive seen a set sit on the shelf and be swopped up years later for a transfer to some midwest store cause some hick has more money to spend then me.

Hehehe ... my little rant.

As for speed racer, i believe there are older releases on VHS. I doubt you'll find them on anything but a thrift store, EBay, or maybe by luck in some discount clearance place.

Dude, that just isn't right, Spike died at the end of Cowboy Bebop. That sucks. Well shit.

As you can tell, I just finished watching Cowboy Bebop, still got the movie to go though, still that blows man, Spike was cool. Same with Ed, and Ed had to leave, that sucks man.

[Tony]

Well just finished watching the movie, good movie. I like the whole series, kinda doesn't link together well, but still a very good series.

yea like Blue said ... its on cartoon network, when i couldnt tell you so check you local listings and blah blah ...

Its about this dude Spike, an ex mafioso badd (yess to D's) ass martial artist, who works as a bounty hunter with ex-cop Jet, who has a past just as deep as everyone else.

After a few miss adventures they add in Ein, the dog ... dont ask just accept. Ed, who talks with the dog kinda and is a hacker for all purposes of classification. and the lovely miss Faye Valentine, gambler and mistress of chaos.

So thats the cast ... the REAL plot is seen in glimpses through episodes scattered throughout ... and then comes to a climax in the last two.

And seeing as how all my friends Initial D dvd's are currently in the philiopines ... i might just watch the Cowboy Bebop series on my own DVD set.

[GTA]

i can go watch my friends initial d dvds, he got the complete set for like $70 in Hong Kong. and there legit :eek:

[nemo_wolf]

well the legalities on that are questionable at best ...

[GTA]

ok well, they are the same ones we'd have to pay hella bank for at a store around here. he did buy a non-legit set too, a lot worse quality though...:D

[Tony]

well I think john hit cowboy bebop good enough for you.

Also, I just got through watching Princess Mononoke, great movie. I d/l it, hoping it was the japanese version of it, but I was wrong and waited 2 days for the thing to d/l and it was in english, when I could have just ran to blockbuster and rented it and got it in better quality. Oh well, still a good movie.

up until resurrection = old school ... through to monoke = not so new but not old school just yet ... and X is perty new

i would try my hand at slayers if your a fan of the comedies ... if not then most of the rest of the fantasy based animes are crap ... IMHO

Has anyone watch the New Dragon Ball GT videos yet? They are awsome. Im so glad that they have made it this far with U.S. realeases. I remember back when i was in like 10th grade and they only had half the first DBZ saga playing. makes me kinda teary...
I know this was supposed to be a strickly anime and no hentai thread but does anyone know where i can find La Blue Girl takes 2 & 5 ?? Im missing those two.

[nemo_wolf]

hrmmm like video 2 and 5 ... or episode 2 and five ... btw ... ive seen some of it ... and their lame as hell ... talk about your shitty plots ... ohh the fun times with that dvd is switching languages in mid-scream.

[Goblin]

My favorites are in order Berserk/Tri-gun/Gundam(all gundam)/Ranma 1/2(despite the transexual undertone)/i cant remember some names its been awhile but theres like 3 more and then comes DB/DBZ series
