Recommend Me...

[Autumn Fox]

...an anime.

After some time used to snoop around the Net to find an Anime that'll interest me and downloading samples i seem to run out of anything interesting. Could you guys recommend me a good anime series ? Just give me a title and what's it about. Give all titles because i might have not found all of even thoes well known. Thanks in advance.

could you post a few that you liked, then everyone knows what sort of thing you're looking for and if theres someone with similar taste...

If you just want some suggestions then there have been quite a few topics about favourite animes, if you just put anime into the search thing and set it to search the last 60 days i'm sure you'll find a couple of topics about it. They probably don't have descriptions, but you can use http://www.anidb.net or numerous other sites to get plots and reviews.

Thoes which i liked ? CowBoy BeBop, Arjuna, Slayers, Gigi ^_^ D.N.Angel, Burn Up W! (i've seen only the 4th part and can't get any more ), Full Metal Panic, Noir, most hentai will do :blush" lol , Macross, Iria, all futuristic are welcome, also cyber punk, fantasy. It'd be very nice of you if you were to give me titles of such animes that have similar drawing technics as thoes which i mentioned unless the movie/serie is of good quality in the plot.

BTW. Thanks for the link.

Ever seen Neon Genesis Evangelion?

Its a really, really, really, really, really great anime series IMO.

Its 26 episodes and 2 movies.

Other great animes are Hellsing, Trigun, Golden Boy, Naruto, Last Exile, Serial Experiments Lain, Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO), FLCL, Berserk, and...well...I could go on and on, but thats all that comes to mind when I think of great animes.

If you havent seen any of the animes I mentioned, I STRONGLY reccomend you check them out ASAP!

Well for good anime, you cant go wrong with Ghost In the Shell, futuristic movie about a world with enhanced super soldiers etc, pretty cool, there is a series as well but i dont much care for it. Check out ninja scroll and vampire Hunter D both really good. Most people rate Akira but personally i was bored all the way through it it just sucked, i'm sorry i know people love it but thats just my personal opinion, you might like it, maybe check it out. Hellsing really is excellent its about a vampire who works for the Van Hellsing group hunting vamires. Also Read Or Die is excellent, there is also a series, but check out the 3 part original, its very cool.

Read or Die the Series comes out in a limited edition box set this summer.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Box Set also comes out this summer along with Ghost in the Shell: Innoncence out in theaters this summer.

Yeah, i've seen it. Didn't understand the movie (End of Eva) fully, though. ^_^

BTW. About Ghost in the Shell; any other movies/series like that ?

Thanks for all your advices

I dont know that many animes that are like GITS, but, a similar anime would have to be Armitage III-Poly Matrix, Dual Matrix, and the OVAs.

About Ghost in the Shell: JUST IN CASE YOU DIDNT KNOW....

A sequel for the film came out early this month in Japan, entitled "Ghost in the Shell: Innocence".

Here is the offical site for it: http://www.innocence-movie.jp/index1.html
Its in Japanese, though....if you need help finding the trailer for it, let me know; there is over 4 or 5 trailers for it.
It will be released in US theaters around this summer, distirbuted by Universal's Dreamworks; it is unknown who the english voice cast will be at the moment.

Ghost in the Shell-Stand Alone Complex:

GITS-SAC is a TV series of the Ghost in the Shell film. I've havent seen the series yet, so I dont know if this series takes place before the film, or whenever the story takes place.
It is comprised of 26 episodes. The boxset for the anime comes out at the end of June here in the US, as the Japanese boxset has been out for a while.
Here is what the Japanese Boxset and DVD Covers look like:

Its a safe bet that the US boxset will look like that, as well as the DVD Covers.
Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" will air all 26 episodes of SAC in October, but, its more than likely that it will be heavily edited.
The boxset will probably be close to 100 bucks.
Here is a review of the series:http://www.animeacademy.com/library/...c/gitssac.html
Finally, here is the offical US site of GITS-SAC:

I'd advise for you to check out the trailer....its cool as hell.

And about Evangelion....the only thing that really confused me is when Rei/Lillth is falling apart and Eva-01 bursts through her left eye and does "something" to reverse the Human Instrumentality Project....anyways I love and own the film, but the film "Death and Rebirth" (which was the first Eva movie) was a real ripoff, since its basically a 60 minute edit of episodes 1-24, and the Rebirth part was the first 30 minutes of the End of Evangelion. So, if you already have the EoE, dont even bother purchasing Death and Rebirth, unless, you're a diehard Eva Fan like me.
The live action Evangelion movie is said to probably be released next year; WETA, who worked on the Lord of the Rings' special effects are working on the film, and Anno, the man who created Eva, approved of the script, so I guess thats good news....

the concept art of the evas look amazing, but the art for the pilots really suck.... eughh, its the only thing which im worried for it at the momemt.

[Manny Roscoe]

Yeah....plus the fact that they changed "Rei" to "Ray", gave her black hair, and made her smile alot...Rei rarely smiles...so...Im worried about that. Plus, Asuka looks like a middle aged woman instead of a 14 year old and they changed her name, Misato doesnt look like herself, her name is changed as well, and the Tokyo-3 doesnt look the same...if it is even Tokyo-3....sometimes I have my doubts about the project....makes me wish they make another series of Eva instead of a live action movie.....
