Tirabaralla · 19-01-2009 2:51am

LOL Tyranax...but it's true (not that u sound as a pink washbag...lol), I wathced KiKi yesterday night, lovely...even in low quality (directly via internet)...anyway, the end it's a bit..."not complete" to me, still beautiful...not my fave from Ghibli but lovely nonetheless ^_^

Aaaw I got Kiki's Delivery Service for christmas and watched it with the boyfriend - think he was intimidated by how much I was enjoying it.

There's something about this type of animation. It isn't patronising to kids, and it's still entertaining to us slightly bigger kids (i.e. we're taller)

Ain't that for sure Misa-san!

I've been watching 'Project A-ko' lately with my girlfriend, and she's loving it! For those of you who have not seen it yet, it's an absolutely mental parody of most Shoujo and Robot anime. I fully recommend it to anyone with an oddball sense of humor like myself

Watching Gunslinger Girl now, its a bit... erm...overly dramatic? But that is its only downfall so far

e_e · 19-01-2009 8:27pm

Am awaiting The Girl Who Leapt Through Time to come in the mail.

I watched Paprika on Blu-ray a few nights ago. Complete eye candy.

Funky · 19-01-2009 9:07pm

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is so so good, loved it.

Watching Welcome to the NHK(again!) at the moment myself, definitely one of my faves.

The Bluray print is pretty damn sweet. An all around awesome film really, especially the soundtrack

Both dub and sub.

Tirabaralla · 20-01-2009 2:11am

I am now watching Fruit Basket, read the manga few years ago and loved it.
Watching it on youtube, japanese with italian fansub, LOL

TY for giving me new ideas and make me even a bigger otaku than I already am :pac:

Tyranax · 21-01-2009 1:54pm

Watched Nausicaa last night, top quality, and more mature than I thought it would be. The woman who voiced Nausicaa herself in the Japanese dub did a fantastic job of her, really brought her to life, although to be fair the rest of the cast did great jobs on their charachters as well.

lurrrvs2sp00ge · 21-01-2009 2:17pm

i never got into reading manga even though one of my friends was a huge fan. i do like how the books are right to lrft though

Tirabaralla · 21-01-2009 2:47pm

I'm reading mangas since...12 years?! Doh!
Anyway...I now read every magazine or newspaper from the last page to the first one...lol...instinctively...sometimes I thinkabout it and correct myself LOL

Overheal · 22-01-2009 7:26am

Ive been trying to get into this Macross Plus but its just not happening. Some of the action is good but I dont care for te story in general.

Still watching Gundam 00. Into S2E15 so far, and its still good.

and had my first run through of cowboy bebop over christmas. brilliant.

e_e · 22-01-2009 2:57pm

Haibane Renmei

First episode was beautiful.

Varkov · 28-01-2009 10:16am

Watching Clannad as a break between finishing Gundam 0079 and starting Zeta Gundam.

Fuko = Win

Tyranax · 28-01-2009 6:43pm

I'm looking for another recommendation if ye don't mind. I have both Porco Rosso and Laputa: Castle In The Sky to watch. I don't know which to see first. I just watched Nausicaa last week so I'm leaning towards Porco Rosso as a change from that in terms of tone and setting, but I'm looking forward to watching Laputa as well. Any suggestions?

Unfortunatly haven't seen either, but if you're looking for another well animated movie you could try 5cm Per Second.

DURKA-DURKA · 30-01-2009 9:24pm

just watched tokyo godfathers. not like any other manga ive ever seen! but good!

Personally I prefer Laputa, has a lovely story, good characters plot twists and excellent animation!

Im watching Eathsea tonight!

Same here. I watched a few days ago, and I am in awe of the imagination on Satoshi Kon. Again. I heard it described as a film "...not to be so much understood, as experienced." Quite true. Cracking soundtrack on it too.

Cy_Revenant · 16-02-2009 12:12am

Started Innocent Venus. Looks decent.

Finished Xam'd: Lost Memories. Was quite excellent.

Phsyche · 16-02-2009 12:15am

Ergo Proxy

strangely addictive...

T3h-Slayer · 17-02-2009 3:51pm

just finished elfen lied and still going with bleach and gundam 00 and reading the manga of elfen lied

talisker · 17-02-2009 11:53pm

DMC -does anybody else love this anime. - totally nuts, completely funny - and that haircut.
Sword of Uruk - loved series one and liking series two even better.
5 cm. per second - makoto shinkai is a genius, email him to get back to work!!! voices of a distant star - as good as any ghibli production. dare i say even better (with the exception of totoro - a cultural artifact bestowed to us mere mortlals by god himself or herself)

talisker · 18-02-2009 12:00am

afro samurai resurrection!!!

you can almost forgive samuel jackson for some of his asinine movies to date. but thank you gonzo!!! is there an oscar for lopping off a person's head?

Shiner88 · 22-02-2009 4:10am

Naruto & One Piece as well
Gantz too!

The_Robot · 23-02-2009 6:36pm

Reading: Bleach, Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist.

I kinda gave up on anime as they never stay true to the manga (like FMA and one piece dubs) over all the mangas are just on a different level to the animes and i felt it was wrong to watch them

:cool:Fairy Tail (luv it)
:cool:Death Note (its over and wat can i say dam gud plots)
Rurouni Kenshin (havent got into it as much as i want)
Elven Lied (anime and its a classic)
:cool:Love Hina (cause i was bored and yh its a chick flick manga)
Historys Strongest Disciple Kenichi (got half way tru and another manga caught my attention and well i have to get back to it)
:cool:Hunter X Hunter (plz come back

Just finished the fairly weak second season of code geass. Was just about worth sticking with it for the fantastic final episode...

Chrome Shelled Regios - interesting where this is going
Gundam 00 Second Season - almost over cant wait for last episodes
soul eater - last few episodes are completely over the top, quite funny
Kemono no Souja Erin - kind of nature feel to the whole thing, not sure where its going
Kurogane no Linebarrels - nearly over, giant robots, explosions etc..
Tetsuwan Birdy Decode:02 - fun action anime
Tower of Druaga - the Sword of Uruk - almost, magic fantasy swords and monsters
Tytania - epic space opera, pretty entertaining following escapades of a reluctant rebel leader
Viper's Creed - transforming car robots, conspiracy, corupt corporations
Eve no Jikan - slowly released episodes......

q00444 · 17-03-2009 1:37am

i was watching Hajime no Ippo but i watched them all so i am reading the manga i got like 500 chapters to go

Saruwatari · 17-03-2009 2:03am

Finished reading the first volume of Path of the Assassin a few days ago. Great stuff, kind've preferring the art in this over the artist's other samurai epic, Lone Wolf & Cub.
I'll definitely be going back to Chapters soon to pick up the other volumes dirt-cheap.

Varkov · 24-04-2009 12:16am

Spoilt for choice this season. Currently watching :

Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood
K-on
Shangri La
Eden of the East
Basquash
Cross Game

Downloading the first Gurren Lagann movie at the moment and will enjoy it over the weekend

:D:D

Naruto and Bleach are on the back burner for the moment.

caff · 13-05-2009 5:39am

Started watching

eden of the east - very interesting one this, getting really sucked into the plot
shangri la - post apocolyptic type setting though quite cheerful
phantom:requim for the phantom - about heartless brainwashed assasins..
07-Ghost - action/magic heir to the throne of kingdom since wiped off the map
Asura Cryin - big magic robots
Valkyria Chronicles - fun enough about group of miltia fighting for freedom

triseke · 13-05-2009 5:27pm

Currently i am watching Cromartie High School, which is absolutley fantastic. I normally watch anime subbed but the dubbed version of this is brilliant.

I am also reading the Death Note manga series.

What anime are you watching or manga are you reading?
