GMC Forum _ Electronic Entertainment _ Anime Thread
Posted by: VinceG Mar 19 2008, 05:56 AM
So im dedicating this thread to all the anime lovers on GMC. I just finished one of the best anime I have ever seen, GunGrave. The ending was a tearful one for me. I really did have tears in my eyes as the last couple of mins of Ep 26 rolls by. Really an astounding anime that was written masterfully. If you haven't seen it, its about this 2 best friends, Brandon and Harry, and there rise to power and eventual downfall of the Mafia family syndicate. Full of action, great characters, great length, story line is some of the best ive ever witnessed. Its just an overall great anime. I think it just became top fav of mine.
This is not just some thread to say that you like anime and thats that. I want this to be a legitimate one where we discuss current fav's, spoilers, recommendations and what nots. So lets hear it guys and gals

Well im a big fan, but to be honest I just keep watching the old ones over and over and over again 
I REALLY like Vampire Hunter D, both the old and the newer "bloodlust". There is something haungtingly beautiful about them I also LOVE Cuber City Oedo 808, I really love those Cyber Punks turned Police !! 
Also big favorites inlucde, Patalbor 2, Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell
If you can recommened some cool new ones to me that would be great

I love Anime, i watch Naruto and Bleach right now
Posted by: The Uncreator Mar 19 2008, 11:14 AM
Well my favorites have to be Mobile Suit Gundam, 08th MS Team, and Gundam Wing, But especially Gundam Wing. An awesome, intricate, long story full of betryals, major plot twists, action and just great story telling.
Much like our own Mattacuk, i LOVE Vampire Hunter D, The original and Bloodlust. Like he said, Hauntingly beautiful, great story with some good fight scenes. The original is classic Anime, you cant beat it.
Ghost In The Shell is phenomenal, the first and second ones have a great Sci-Fi/ Thriller story that is really abstract and out there, Gets you thinking. The action is great, and the fight scenes look especially good especially for when it was made.
Princess Mononoke, Dont let the name put you off, its a great Anime. Reminds me a bit of some RPG's, in a good way, BUt if you like leaning toward the more "fantasy" style of Anime, this is for you.
Ninja Scroll is another good one, Basic storyline that really develops as it progresses through the story. If you ever read the Manga "Blade Of The Immortal", you will find many similarities to Ninja Scroll.
Lastly i must mention and Anime classic, and Icon, a standard by which all others are graded, The amazing....Akira.
FANTASIC movie, the story is great, really trippy, you get really involved in it and the whole thing is just awesome, The ending is great and is more complex and in depth than the movie would lead you to believe, An absolute favorite of mine.

Some of my favourites include Rurouni Kenshin and especially the last OVA. Only thing lately I've watched that made me in tears. It was beautiful and very saddening. Great Anime. Alo I love Elfen Lied which is a very violent anime but great nonetheless. Blood+ which is another good anime. Final Fantasy Anime whever it was called
Others:
Ghost In The Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Paranoia Agent, Mobile Suit Gundam, Neon Genesis Evangelion
+ Many others

I should definetly check out some more anime.. I've only seen Vampire Hunter D 
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Mar 19 2008, 04:36 PM
Watch Elfen Lied. You wont be disappointed
Posted by: Spreedmaster Mar 19 2008, 05:24 PM
I love anime, but it never compairs to its manga counterparts. In a lot of anime series Ive watched they cut an awful lot of corners in the animation process. Ive been reading bleach for ages now and the anime does not even come close to how great it is, with lack of style and loads of filler! 
Some anime is really good like elfin leid and gundam wing! and of course DBZ!
Posted by: Trond Vold Mar 19 2008, 05:40 PM
Cool
Will do

Ah yes, Cowboy Bebop was awesome!!
Posted by: VinceG Mar 20 2008, 05:00 AM
hey cool anime fans!
Sorry that I haven't seen Vampire Hunter D as I am not a fan of vampire stuff
Oh yea, I've never seen Akira either haha.
I see a lot of Naruto fans here. I finally caught up with the manga. The fight between Itachi and Sasuke is def not worth the wait since the fight is taking way too long.

I always liked cartoons as a kid, Gundam Wing and Dragon Ball Z were my favorites. But now that I'm in college I need things to relax myself in between the school work. So I got back into cartoons, I just finished watching all the Dragon ball GT episodes, and I've seen most of Dragon ball, and Dragon ball Z. But man the ending to GT was so sad. Now I'm on to Gundam Wing, much better storyline than Dragon ball, but Dragon ball was just so cool and funny. Oh and just so the instructors know, I do play guitar while watching them, and in between episodes I get in real practice.

Also gotta add the movie Black Magic M-66. Awesome flick from the 80s.
Posted by: SLASH91 Mar 22 2008, 01:33 AM
Wow, there's a lot of anime freaks on here 
...ummm...I mean people dedicated to a very noble cause.
Just kidding of course, but I've never been able to like anime, except for DBZ. Too many girly men for me
Posted by: The Uncreator Mar 22 2008, 02:32 AM
Yeah you have to sidestep all that BS
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Apr 24 2008, 03:33 AM

Watch Berserk!
the best anime ever IMO. But the manga even better!
Posted by: Mark. Apr 24 2008, 02:05 PM
I really like naruto, bleach and full metal alchemists
Posted by: Spreedmaster Apr 26 2008, 01:13 PM
OH MY GOD!!!! THATS WHAT IT IS!!!!!! I used to watch that on TV as a kid and I could ever remember what it was called! I used to watch that and Devilman (the good one
) all the time back in the mid ninties when I was only 8 or 9. Im gonna go buy that NOW!!!!

I recently started re-reading Love Hina. I could watch the show again too but it might take a while to search through the discs since I didn't label them XD
It may be kind of a wussy manga but man you talk smack about the Love Hina....I'll throw down

That and peach girl were the first two mangas i've ever read. Its a pile of crap, seriously! Do you like fruits baket too?
Plus the story goes no where like all girls manga. Does she like him, oh wait... no, maybe , OMG he touched her boobs by accident! BLUSH, oh she smacked him, but she really loves him.. QUICK everyone in the hot springs for no reason, FALALALALA! OMG another boy! oh no torn between the, oh but the nerdy guy wins out over the swave guy with the large micky, QUICK back in the hot springs ! NO! your naked and ive seen you by accident AAAAHH i slipped on a bar of soap! etc etc! Shojo gets old really quick!
Posted by: Enucleation Apr 27 2008, 05:01 AM
I get your point but eh...i likes it XD

I'm so happy to see someone else in here mention Berserk (my personal favourite). Guts is pretty much as bad ass as a single character can get.
Some other personal favourites of mine are Fate/Stay Night, Elfen Lied, Claymore, Gurren Lagann, Samurai Champloo, and Twelve Kingdoms.
Oh, and of course I keep up with Naruto and Bleach like many others on here; even if the fillers blow.

Samurai Pizza Cats
Posted by: VinceG Jun 8 2008, 06:06 AM
man I have been out of the loop for so long in Naruto. I don't even know what the hell happened to the Sasuke and Itachi fight.
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jun 9 2008, 05:32 PM
Vampire D is cool, but Ghost in a Shell.... now that's a futuristic anime that really stands out
Also as I kid I drooled watching Granzort. That was a great anime!
Posted by: somecrazyguy09 Jun 16 2008, 12:41 AM
i used to get my anime from the old school cartoon network. back when toonami was cool and adult swim actually played good stuff. some of my favs are Trigun, Fooly Cooly (FLCL), old school gundam, DBZ, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Afro Samurai (from spike tv), Rurouni Kenshin,Yu Yu Hakusho, Blue Gender, and who could ever forget about sailormoon haha
Posted by: TreyDeschamp Jun 16 2008, 04:13 AM
I used to be addicted to anything with the word dragon or ball in the sentence. I love the .hack// series(sign, legend of the twighlight, and roots) Inuyasha is ok and so is naruto. Gudam is good but that little kid thing Gundum SD kinda ruined it for me.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is .hack/// owns!
Anyone who reads manga should get the new .hack//G.U.+
I tried get a picture of Haseo the terror of death but stupid google wouldnt let me

LOL Samurai Pizza Cats Pwn!
Posted by: TreyDeschamp Jun 16 2008, 04:34 AM
samuri pizza cats?
Posted by: Slammer Jun 16 2008, 04:43 AM
LOL I used to watch that when I was a little kid, but that was like Early-Mid 90's.
Probably before you were born or when you were a baby.
it was kinda cheesy tho
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai_Pizza_Cats
It's funny to think of it now, since I work in a pizza restaurant.
Posted by: blindwillie Jun 16 2008, 07:00 AM
I keep trying to find some anime I like but I simpy don't.
I ordered Vampire Hunter: Bloodlust a while back, but I don't know if it's out of stock or what. It haven't arrived yet. The other one I can't seem to find.
Posted by: kyldeee Jun 16 2008, 07:06 AM
I've never really watched anime, except DBZ, ones in awhile, when it happened to come on TV when I opened it.... Oh yeah, I did see some movie awhile back but I forgot its name, something Ninja ---- I think... I had this big fight with some skinny dude and this huge rock man or some

I have never really been watching Anime, but I've read some Manga books, mainly One Piece, Dragonball and a little Ranma and Love Hina as my little sister used to read that
Posted by: VinceG Jul 12 2008, 03:28 AM
