I've studied how to draw the Japanese Cartoon style for quite a while, though my outcomes are more or less sub-par...

I'm interested in joing, my favorite anime/manga are as follows:
1. Zeta Gundam
2. Guyver
3. Victory Gundam
4. Bleach (manga)
5. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (manga)
I would like to be Agito Makashima, otherwise known as Guyver III, of Guyver.

Well, more favourite Animes have been added to my list! Sonic X, Ghost In The Shell, .Hack, Gundam, Vandread, Hellsing, Trigun, Witch Hunter Robin, Noir, Fafner, Naruto, Inuyasha, Dragon Ball, Melty Lancer, and Chobits. Animes I should look into: Full Metal Alchemist, Full Metal Panic, Gungrave, FLCL, Mai-Hime, and Bleach.

I'm currently watching "Kimagure Orange Road".

It's very... nostalgic feeling when I watch it, though frustrating for me since I've walked the same road of life as the main character...

My recommendation level? A MUST WATCH.

Read the comic equivalent, its conclusion far surpasses the one in the animation.

YES, MY TRICK WORKED, SO I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FINSIH SLAYERS!

***SPOILERS AHEAD FOR SLAYERS!!! MASSIVE REVIEW AHEAD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!***

Well, the heroine was rather unique. As opposed to being all "ZOGM LETSH SAVE TEH WORLD!1," she was clearly movtivated by greed, showing that you don't have to have these "pure of heart" heroes/heroines to have a great series. Gourry shows that the hero doesn't have to be smart, as he seems to be very, VERY messed up. Zelgoddoss (I KNOW I probably butchered that name, cut me soem slack!) is actually one of the most interesting characters: a revenge-motivated guy who hasn't let his need for revenge corrupt him entirely. Later on, we're joined by the INCREDIBLY dense Amelia, who proves that too much "goodness" is a VERY bad thing, and by some girl who's in love with Gourry. (I REALLY want to say Sylvia here....), whose kind heart seems to restrict her magic power or something.

As for the main villain (Rezzo and his copy), they're quite interesting characters, particularly the copy, who is OBSESSED with surpassing the original just to prove he can. When he mentioned that he would let Lina use the GIgaSlave against him, I figured that she'd use it, but instead of using the Lord of Nightmares, call on Shabernigdo to power it this time. Course, the fact that she didn't even fire it shot that idea all to hell, but still.

Now, we come to one of the most tragic characters, Eris. I think the name Aeris/Eris is cursed in Japan, cause they killed off Aeris in FFVII, and Eris gets killed by the copy Rezzo in Slayers. I think they have something against people named Aeris/Eris. Though Eris never comes otu and says it, her love for the original Rezzo is all too obvious, but her murder at the hands of the copy shows that her vengeance was pointless. I found myself really wanting Eris to live, if for no other reason than that I'd love to see her try to get along with Lina after the Rezzo copy got killed. But they killed her off. :'(

Ah, Zangaless. This guy is just weird. He has like five "final" battles with Gourry (this shit makes as much sense as having a Final Fantasy II or III or whatever), and finalyl gets his ass kicked. I thought he'd kill himself with what was left of his sword, but from the sneak peek I saw at the end of the DVDs, he's needed for Slayers Next.

Probably the villain who was most different from my expectations was Shabernigdo. I figured that, like most demons, he'd be completely evil and depraved, an embodiment of "sin," if you will. But he actually seems rather honorable, particularly after Lina kicks his ass and he basically says "Good job, you thrashed me," and dies a really freaky death.

One thing I LOVED about this series is that Lina didn't learn a new spell every singel battle to take care of a new bad guy. They used their existing powers in new and inventive ways to beat the Rezzo copy at the end. I'll admit that using a "blessed sword" seems a bit cheesy, but it's not as bad as if Lina had gone "ZOGM I HAVE THIS UBER POWERFUL SPELL THAT I CAN USE NOW CUZ I'M STRONG LIKE THAT!!1" On a related note, I was really glad that Lina didn't resort to the Dragon Slave every single fight, because that would have been really cheap, and I especially love the simple explanation they gave for why she didn't use it.

There was something that confused me for a while: since Rezzo helped Lina kill Shabernigdo (it seems to me that he basically held Shabernigdo in place while Lina used the GigaSlave), why would Rezzo need to be avenged? Of course, then I realized two things: One, that Aeris wasn't aware of exactly WHAT had happened with Rezzo, other than that Lina, Gourry, and Zelgoddoss had killed him; and two, that the copy Rezzo wasn't interested in avenging the original as much as he was itnerested in beating Lina to prove that he could surpass the original.

The seperation of the types of magic was realyl cool, too. It seems a bit odd that Amelia was learning Dark Magic a bit of the way into the thing, like Fireball, but meh, I guess she just picked it up from running around with Lina. It was a bit confusing how sometimes, they all had to chant to cast a spell, but they could cast that same spell without saying a word a few minutes later.

***END SPOILERS***

Overall, I give Slayers a 10/10. It has a perfect blend of humor and action, with some pretty unique characters tossed in for good measure.

Yeh, Slayers is my favorite anime. So have you just seen Slayers? or also Slayers Next and Slayers Try? plus there are loads of other's, like the Slayer movies and Slayers Excellent, Great, etc.

My favorite character is Xelloss, which is why i chose him for this club's character.

Amelia basically learns Black Magic to "dispense justice" better, like wanting to learn the Dragon Slave to defeat large groups of bad guys at once.

Has an one else besides me read The Battle Angel Alita Manga?

hello anime club! Im back!

Just slayers so far. My friend's gonna loan me Slayers Next after I return Slayers, and then Slayers Try after I return Slayers next.

my favorite character is Xelloss

I don't remember a Xelloss off the top of my head. I might have messed up the name, cause the guy that comes to mind when you say that is Xel, or (as I heard the name) Zelgoddoss. Then again, I always mess up names cause my hearing sucks. Was it the Yoda look-alike?

Oh, I remember that part. I just don't remember her learning the other ones.
...I just got a horrible image of Amelia using Giga Slave.
*screams and runs in circles*

hey guys, can't be assed to join, but i would like to put forward a couple of questions:

have you guys seen ah! my goddess (the one released as a fansub)?

have you ever met a girl like belldandy? i am curious as to whether they exist.

Well he is in Slayers Next and Try, so you haven't seen him yet, and it isn't until Slayers Try that you see how strong he really is.

Yeh, it is surprising that the Giga Slave can destroy the world, but Lina uses it later in Next and Try(only partially).

Good Slayers Site

I may look into Slayers. It seems interesting.

I was wondering what was better

Then you must have not watched "Excel Saga".

WATCH IT.

Please Teacher as we all know is about an 18 year old kid who falls in love with his teacher. However, Please Twins is about these 3 people, 1 boy and 2 girls, who each have a picture of two of the actual persons. They see their place of childhood on the tv, (around the time after Please Teacher), and they all go to the same house. So basically the entie show is about trying to find out who are the actual siblings and who is just a stranger.

Overall: If you are looking for a deep engaging love story in the same vein as PT then guess what buddy, you're out of luck. While the story is fairly good, the show has to rely more on shock comedy (like a girl falling down to look up another girl's towel after a bath) and so on. The only connection that PT has to Please Teacher is that Mizuho and and that freaky 21 year old girl are in it. That's it. My score is an 8/10.

I can relate to that. most anime doesn't have that much humor any more.
the only truly funny anime I've ever seen was... um... uhh... OH! right! the first season of outlawstar. yeah. good times...good times

Some parts in Trigun are funny. (Although they aren't alll that funny).
