Cool. I can't find that series on youtube, dailymotion, veoh or Tv link.com, do you know anywhere I might be able to watch it? Personally I think that is the best anime ever and the last time I watched it was somewhere between 2001 and 2003......

Hahahahaha, oh man.

eBay is far from obscure, I assure you many Japanese folks sell there.

I saw no results regarding that anime, i typed it on Google and nothing came up, either you spelt it wrong or your just lying to us.

Well look at the name, does it look like the kind of name you can remeber how to spell after about five years without typing it or watching the anime?!

Sssh, don't bug Gendo, he's mad because he's tired of being the evil glass-wearing genius who does nothing but smile whenever anything happens. ANYTHING. Even his own castration, I'd bet. :P

Now, after a few horror movies, I have...

The Hellsing Series.
Hellsing Ultimate.
Blood the Last Vampire

On my Netflix rental list.
This will be pure win. :D

On a relevant note, I actually own and sometimes wear rose-tinted sunglasses, and I've got the whole neckbeard going on (albeit with a mustache).

The Hellsing Series.
Hellsing Ultimate.

Mmm, very win.

Are you implying that girls have an inferior taste in things by that?

Because otherwise, I cannot see what exactly is wrong with liking things that girls like.

It's not as if boys are impeccable in their tastes, that shonen things like Naruto and Inuyasha are exquisite.

Perhaps your mind is stuck in a 7 year olds mentality that boys and girls are entirely separate, and that "BOYS SHOULD LIKE THIS, AND GIRLS SHOULD LIKE THAT".

really good 14 episode long animes like the mechanoly of haruhi something that are good but shouldn't be counted since their so short and hentai animes......

Almost all good anime's I've seen have been 26 episodes long and under.

I'd rather watch 10 20 episode long series' than 1 200 episode long series.

You raise many valid points, friend, but he is a lost cause. No point in continuing to waste time on him.

As for your remark about the better series you've seen being of reasonable or short length, I agree completely. I've only seen two shows over 100 episodes long I actually consider to be great, the rest of the lengthy shows I've seen have been either hit-and-miss or subpar.

That's what they said about Alex DeLarge.

I tend to just get bored of a series if it drags on too long.

I'm more likely to watch one if it's on at a certain time, so watching becomes a habit.

Even with a show as long as Fullmetal Alchemist, I got more bored nearing the end and just wanted it to finish (though that could be because it actually did get worse near the end).

IT WASN'T A WISE DECISION!!!

I tend to just get bored of a series if it drags on too long.

I've actually just plain stopped watching any anime on TV longer than 26 episodes, because I lose track of my place during re-runs and other programming changes and then lose interest in the show in general (like Eureka 7, which likely would have enjoyed a great deal more than I did if it wasn't for all the re-runs, gaps between new episode airings and timeslot switches).

Last lengthy TV show I watched from the first episode onward was Lupin III, and it got fucking cancelled after like 60 out of the 100+ episodes aired (not to mention a programming gaffe resulted in a raw Japanese episode airing).

I'm more likely to watch one if it's on at a certain time, so watching becomes a habit.

I'm all about specific times.

I used to watch G4's Anime Current religiously since it was always weekdays at nine thirty PM, then they changed it around, wildly varying the times and added like five new shows to the block. With the schedule out of whack and my favourite show gone, I gave up on G4.

Even with a show as long as Fullmetal Alchemist, I got more bored nearing the end and just wanted it to finish (though that could be because it actually did get worse near the end).

Same here, the late arc was just plain not as good as the rest of the series, which certainly made slogging through randomly scheduled re-runs and timeslot switches in order to finish it less appealing.

He did get a nice cheque though.

Though I may be incorrect.

It's like when I used to watch Dragon Ball Z.

Halfway through the Frieza Saga (or Namek saga) they decided to go back to halfway through the Saiyan saga.

They did it again a little after Trunks came back.

That sounds like a series I'd watch.

IF I COULD FIND IT ANYWHERE.

The only anime block which is on here is adult swim (not counting the shit ones that they put on at other points of the day (you know the ones)), which is on at around 12-1am.

The only anime I ever bothered to watch on it was Fullmetal Alchemist, and I got bored of having to watch it so late.

Now I think it's all complete shit (Gundam Seed, Inuyasha etc.), but I haven't checked.

Same here, the late arc was just plain not as good as the rest of the series, which certainly made slogging through randomly scheduled re-runs and timeslot switches in order to finish it less appealing.

I just decided to move on to renting the DVDs about halfway through.

It's much more effective.

I'm happy. Adult Swim is putting Cowboy Bebop back on. No matter how many times I see that show, I never get tired of it.

Halfway through Last Exile and I've finally found something I hate about it:

Every bloody episode makes me want to see the next one immediately.

Bloody cliffhangers.

Though as a result it does seem like the sort of series you could watch in some sort of marathon easily.

Other than that, if it keeps up the standard, then it's on the fast tract to shooting up to near the top of my list of best anime's.

Though I would prefer it if the plane sequences were in 2D; the 3D looks a little out of place sometimes.

I found the R.O.D. TV series was the same, every episode ends with a nerve-wracking cliffhanger....

Also, I've been meaning to check out Last Exile for months, I should hurry up and rent a volume or something.

I've found out-of-place CGI to be an epidemic these days.

It killed the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure prequel OVAs, and the past few Lupin III productions have had sloppy 3D scenes (CGI CROWS?!).

Well it's okay to a degree in Last Exile.

You barely notice it when it's concerning the battleships.

But with the vanships, it goes from a still picture of the ships when it's showing the characters, to 3D straight after when the vanship movies, which is a little distracting.

The Friday night episodes were always the most tense, so Mondays in November were must-see TV.

Fortunately, G4 favoured the five episodes a week approach, which made the tension a tad easier to bear.

Shows should just act more like Dragon Ball Z, in which you only have to watch every 3rd episode.

Fuck Sasuke! He should have been stabbed with a LINOLEUM KNIFE in the first episode he was introduced in.
