That's gotta be the LEAST purposeful post I've ever read in this thread.
Anyways, my copy of Cowboy Bebop: The Perfect Sessions came in the mail the other day, worth the $27.96 I spent on it.
Watched all but about five episodes, ace series.

Well, Senor Trivia, you've asked the million dollar question.
***GASP! IT'S TEH TEH TEH MEGA SPOILERS! OH NOES! LOOK AWAY!***
- King Yama is in fact mentioned in both YYH and DBZ, but seems to be much more of a powerful figure in YYH than DBZ. I have a feeling that King Yama (or Yemma, as I once heard it said) is another figure from Japanese mythology.
- Ever notice how Lina keeps getting bitchy about being flat as a board, but she seems to fill out quite a bit throughout the series? I heard that that was a joke at Ranma 1/2's expense, referring to how the girl Ranma's chest changed size each time Ranma turned into the girl form.
- While not truly an inter-series reference, I've come to the conclusion that Naga from the Slayers movies and OAVs is the sister of Amelia from the series. I've seen many reasons to believe this; 1) In one episode of the series, Lina gives a Naga-esque laugh, and Amelia asks her not to do it again because, as she put it, it reminded her of her sister. 2) During one episode of the first Slayers series, Naga (or somebody dressed just like her) walks by, and Amelia does a double take. 3) Amelia and Naga NEVER MEET. I heard that they're both in one of the Slayers movies, but I also heard that Naga's appearance was just a cameo, and due to the shortness of her stay she never had a chance to see Amelia.
- Ever notice how Ryu's stance in the Street Fighter II anime when he does the Hadouken looks ODDLY SIMILAR to a certain spiky-haired guy's signature move from Dragonball Z?
- In both Gokudo and Inuyasha, there is a character named Miroku. The Inuyasha version is a Buddhist monk, and the Gokudo version is some kind of spirit whose release would cause the world to change drastically (not being cryptic to avoid giving it away, but rather because I don't remember what the release meant)
- Look at Dai-Guard and Evangelion. In Dai-Guard, the protagonists have to use a massive robot to combat equally massive monsters formed from the elements. In Evangelion, the protagonists use giant robots (more or less) to combat equally massive monsters formed from who knows what. HMMMM, METHINKS ME SEES A COINCIDENCE.
- Another one that's not quite a inter-series one, but kinda is. Anyone who saw the final few episodes of Zoids remembers seeing Cloud and the Liger Zero fighting Vega Obscura and the Berserk Fury, but do you remember what they were fighting next to? It was the finish line for the event, a gigantic dead Zoid. If you look closely at it, you can tell that it is the exact same Zoid as the "flying fortress" Zoid in the lake in Zoids: Chaotic Century. You know, the one that all the survivors rush into after Hiltz gets the DeathStinger? While we're on the subject, the three Zoids that the BackDraft group sent to stop Vega are the same type as Raven's second Zoid, the GenoSoarer.

Yes, I oticed all those things. And in the Japanese version, it was the Berserk Fuhrer, not the Berserk Fury.

But Amelia's older sister apparently died due to someone trying to take the thrown.
In Slayers: Lost Universe the police girl looks just like Amelia but with blond hair.

What rumor? It's been confirmed for months... I was the one who broke the story back in March. I dropped $50 just to get the scoop on that story... My source came from a subscriber news service and the money was well worth it.

I dont know, but here is the highest and lowest review on it on Gamefaqs.com. you can compare and decide for yourself.
Bad review of 2/10
Good review of 10/10
And the rest of the reviews are here in case you really arent sure wich one was mor compelling. Just looking though, most people gave it a 7 or higher out of 10.
As for madden, dont trade it unless you're absolutely sure you want to. Once I trade a game, I instantly want to play it and have to re purchase it weeks later.

One more dude. And I think those are a bit childish. Wait till you see something better. I recomend Outlaw Star, Records of Lodoss War, Evangelion, and Fullmetal Alchemist. These are good starter in my opinion.
Will Oban: Star Racers count as an Anime?
I honestly dont know, just wait for another member to answer this.
Since I'm making a double post, may aswell ad some bulk to it....
Has anyone in here seen Interlude? I think it's pretty good, though I dont really understand it entirely. It looks to me like a movie split in to 3 sections. The cover has nothing on it about being so and so volume in a collection, yet it has three episodes. And on the last one, it looks like the end, though the could really add from it.
Also, I've had Seriel Experiment Lain for a few months now, and never finished the second disc... what the hells wrong with me.
And lastly, can anyone recomend a site with good tutorials for begginers trying to draw anime? And maybe perhaps a few excercises to increase hand-eye coordination? I have a really shakey hand which makes circles and straight lines impossible. I figure a little practice would help.

I have a subscription to Shonen Jump, so they send me issues a month in advance of the newsstands.

It turns out I don't even need to trade it in; I found a place online where you can buy any CD, DVD, or video game for $1, and I bought Inuyasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask from there. The website is called BarterBee.com, and apparently it works by buying stuff with points that you either buy with money or earn by selling stuff.

Hmmm, I'll really have to look into that. $1 crap is very appealing to the cheap, and I'm CHEAP. Oh, and did you dint the review links of any use? Not that a one dollar game needs to be thought out.

No, it was NOT her sister who died. It was her MOTHER. The story as I understand it is that the assassin killed Amelia's mom in front of her sister (who before becoming Naga was named Gracia). Gracia, in grief and rage, used her magic and basically blasted the assassin way the fuck past hell. Terrified at the thought of what might happen if another assassin came, Gracia got something of her mother's from the closet (a strange type of armor known as the "battle bikini" which Naga would be seen in later on), changed her name to Naga, and fled the castle.

Yeah your just not MR. Trivia without it!
While i was away i managed to watch 24 (i think but i may have the number mixed up with another series) episodes of Berserk it was pretty cool.
Anyone here ever read BECK or seen the anime? That is one kick-ass series.

Sorry for the double-post, but I found my vintage sig pic. I accidentally put it in the wrong folder and sent it to my recycle bin. Luckily, I haven't emptied my Recycle Bin in over a month, so it was easy to restore the file and upload it again.

Nearly all of those sound like excellent anime; you must have a good source because I can't find any titles like those in the Greater Columbus area.
Now all that's left is for you to choose a character to represent you. Here is a list of the characters already taken.

Yeah I read the BECK manga.
So to get a conversation started here I figured that I could ask how did you get into Anime and what was the first one that you can remember seeing.My answer to it would be I got into it by watching the whole Macross sereies with my dad (yeah he's kickass like that) then watching Macross + by myself.
I was wondering, how many anime games are out on the market, and how many would you recommend? Here are the ones that I currently own:
Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale - Fighting genre, PS One. There were some typoes in the manual, and they called Inuyasha's Backlash Wave something different, but the game kicks ass.
.hack series (INFECTION through QUARANTINE) - Role-playing, PS2. It's taking me a while to get through these games because I have to re-familiarize every time if I don't play it often enough. The controls took some getting used to in the first place too.
Robotech: Battlecry - Shooter, PS2. I like this game because it has real mechs, characters, and missions from the Macross saga. The controls are quite complex, but when you're switching between Battloid, Guardian, and Fighter pretty much at will, simple controls are nearly impossible.
Robotech: Invasion - Shooter, PS2. This one is based on Robotech: The New Generation, and it even has a playable flashback before the main part of the game, so you can get used to the controls (although I still can't aim for crap). I'm stuck on the first mission of chapter two (some guy keeps killing my teammate and I can't quite pick him off), but otherwise the game is fun and relatively easy.
Dragon Quest VIII - Role-Playing, PS2. I'm not sure if this is based on an anime, but it's definitely styled like one. If I didn't know better, I'd swear that I've seen some of the game's characters in episodes of DragonBall Z (Kalderasha looks like Hercule, and some of the townspeople look like Future Trunks and Android 18). It's a very fun game and it's worth every penny of its retail price.
