dont forget the like of neon genesis evangelion if you like being mind raped. And code geass is a kick ass anime which is not 100% mecha all the time but its pretty amazing

fitz0 · 20-07-2009 9:22am

Don't know how I forgot but also try Escaflowne. A bit dated now but still excellent.

BlitzKrieg · 21-07-2009 3:45am

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya did it again...

Its f*cking killing me now how many times they have done this.

twice full episodes and one to show it repeating millions of times then a fourth to show the conclusion.

BUT FIVE FULL EPISODES OF THIS SH*T IS TOO MUCH EVEN FOR ME!

I swear the dvd pack of this season will be the biggest rip off produced.

Just finished Deathnote 2 so going to pick up 3 & 4 soon. Absolutely loving it so far

caff · 24-07-2009 5:39am

Currently watching

Asura Cryin' - magic and giant robots...
Eve no Jikan - exploring a world with robots and humans.. kind of Asimov like
Kemono no Souja Erin - little girl who connect with animals used to fight wars
Needless - trashy action
Phantom Requiem for the Phantom - following an assasian in his quest for meaning to his life
Shangri-La - eco themed dysotopian freedom fighting story
Spice and Wolf II - mechant and a wolf spirit travelling around
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - very promising so far, a girl and her brother caught in a huge earthquake, no idea where its going though
Valkyria Chronicles - like the game

BlitzKrieg · 27-07-2009 12:06am

****!

Yes it did it again.

It is the worst kind of cruelty

seems there is 8 episodes in this arc...

sadista · 28-07-2009 1:36pm

Watched the 1st few eps of Gurenn Lagann lastnight. Its quite strange.
What the hell are those suface creatures that operate the gunmen?

tman · 28-07-2009 3:17pm

Beastmen... It kind of gets explained later on

Varkov · 30-07-2009 1:47pm

Just finished both series of Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex.

That was some bold television, absolutly fantastic. Ordered Solid state society now aswell.

Still struggling through Zeta Gundam aswell, its tough going.

Still persevering with Haruhi season 2 and been dabbling in some Naruto since the filler ended.

Haruhi

we should finally see some resolution in the next episode but my word this has been a frustrating few episodes~!

Naruto

Kakashi Gaiden awesomeness, so good to (kinda) see the 4th in action!

Wow, thanks for the head up. Havent watched naruto in ages. Just watch the preview on youtube and it looks pretty good alright.

Edit: http://www.crunchyroll.com/media-530552/naruto-shippuden-119/ Full legal version of part one will be up in 6 days, preview for now.

I'm only beginning to get into anime at the moment and a friend recommended Death Note to me.

I'm just about to start the fourth episode. It's very exciting so far. Really enjoying it.

StephenP023 · 02-08-2009 2:56pm

Started watching FLCL(Fooly Cooly), I'd recomend it, its so good! and the music is really good!

Even the cave men enjoyed the fire when it was first introduced to them.

Funky · 10-08-2009 11:37am

I think most of humanity still enjoys fire.

Thomas-G · 10-08-2009 2:24pm

Watching Outlaw Star, it's quite dull, Bebop or Trigun it isn't. I've been "watching" it for months though, have been reading manga more lately.

Reading Akira, along with a dozen others. Latest Gantz was great

triseke · 11-08-2009 10:55am

im watching bokura ga ita at the moment. its not something i normally watch, its very "romance and teen angst" but i am enjoying it. about half way through at the moment, not sure what il watch after this!

if you like that, you'll like kimi ga nozomu eien. tis pretty good, i only just started watching it yesterday

Overheal · 13-08-2009 4:14am

For some reason this song totally reminded me of Tekkaman Blade (aka. Teknoman)

So watching this again.

edit: the dialog is so bad though...

I may have to watch it soon.:pac:

Elle Victorine · 15-08-2009 7:28pm

I'm watching bleach right now.

gearoidof · 19-08-2009 1:49am

just finished K-on there, moving back to retro with some Cromartie high school, I think, or maybe martian successor nadeiscu :S

cngamemart · 19-08-2009 4:52am

kenan,now I am watching,

Cy_Revenant · 22-08-2009 11:40pm

Watching Zan Sayonara Setsubou Sensei. So awesome.

2003 is hardly retro.

Watching Pani Poni Dash, crazy crazy show but pretty funny and a real test of your "Spot the reference" skills.
Watched Mind Game a few days ago, still not sure if I liked it or not, some bits were great, some bits were craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy!
What's better, Gundam manga or show.

Pain Poni Dash, by the same studio as Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

Gundam anime.

The anime is the original and definitive work in the case of every incarnation of Gundam. The mangas are just adaptions and fairly rubbish by and large.

That said, some Gundam shows are far better than others.

Some of the shows were very badly rated on Anime sites so I wasn't sure about it, as a lot of people sing it's praises (but it's the same with dragonball). I've heard 00 and seed are the best, what's for watching and what should be avoided?

Varik · 24-08-2009 11:10pm

just finished
bokura ga ita as it was mentioned here (ok)
romeo x juliet (very good)
Gankutsuou The Count of Monte Cristo (fine)

still keeping up with shounen animes

and look forward each week to
spice and wolf
tokyo 5.0
