Why didn't you simply not post? You didn't have to tell us this because we really don't give a rats ass what you don't do anymore. By the way, who the fuck are you?

Go with one that matches your interest (old or new alike) and stick with it for a while until you find another to hop onto to.
Once you feel like you want to move onto something which catches your attention, just grasp onto it.

Get around that for three or fours years and you'll find yourself looking up producer biographies and making references to other shows thus broadening your knowledge base of this 'culture'.

Your almost never on anyway....

I like the lucky Star intro (never saw the anime, just like the intro)

Antway when played slow it sounds kinda evil, like satan was singing it.
0:38-0:50 is neat.

People who do things like that have no lives, although it was funny. Also are you ever gonna join or are you just going to randomly post every now and then for a long time?

I thought that Howls was by far Miyazaki's worst film.

The film didn't really make any narrative sense.

Animation is quality as always though. I've favored Porco Rosso as his best. I just love how that movie plays out. Good characters, good story and a pig that flies. A PIG THAT FLIES COME ON NOW HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

Soon I will be disappearing for a month or three. No, I can't tell you any more than that. Try not to ruin this place while I'm gone.

I liked Spirited Away the most.

It has one of the best English dubs I've ever seen.

Then it would probably be...

Princess Mononoke
My Neighbour Totoro
Laputa Castle in the Sky
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Porco Rosso
Kiki's Delivery Service
--
Castle of Cagliostro
Howl's Moving Castle

Though a few of those are around equal in how much I enjoyed them.

Mmm, you're a Marine right? I think I saw someone around this place mention it.

Well, a big great Oorah to you, and good luck wherever the hell you get put out.

If you're not the Marine I saw around here, oopsy XD.

Very.
And made even better with excellent execution of humor and action.

Not too far before Laputa and Mononoke-hime, this would be the top of my list of "Must watch Laputa Productions".

Robotech 2: the Sentinels.

DO NOT REMIND ME

I hope this person was punished.

Adam scolded them suitably.

Did they not include the scene with white Reflection playing in the background?

No, that's there, it's the fucking end credits.

They just trim some of the fat in the flashbacks and leave out the hostage rescue scene.

Fucking nice, which other ones will be included?

Ranma 1/2 and the other series has yet to be decided (but may be Black Lagoon).

Ranma 1/2 ( Minus the Mr. Cocks)

QUOTED FOR FUCKING TRUTH

Also, Hellsing and Black Lagoon, since they manage to pull off a wide variety of accents with minimum stereotyping (with the exception of the Colombian drug dealers in BL and Sturmbahnfuhrer Montana Max, although his voice is supposed to be exaggerated for comedic effect).

Most, if not all of his films have very good dubs. I just prefer subs to most dubs though.

Since I've not seen Laputa, Howl's or Cagliostro[shame I know] I can't say about them. Other wise it would be

Porco Rosso
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
Totoro
Nausicaa
Kiki's Delivery Service

I heard they are re-doing the Nausicaa manga. I don't know for sure since I've only read it by rumor.

Speaking of Trigun, I'm listening to the second donut service pack.

Spirited Away is one which I watch in dub every time.

It just seems to be a better cast.

Re-doing the manga? How's that?

That reminds me, I should really get around to finishing that manga series.

I've got them on my desk, but every time I start reading them again, I end up giving up.

My attention span is terrible.

Because it's just too fucking hard to click on my profile and find out. I already did one fucking tour in Iraq. No, that is not where I'm going now.

Also, you people are making me feel like I missed out. The only Miyazaki film I have seen is Princess Mononoke.

I've only seen that and Spirited Away.

It's not as if they're particularly hard to find.

I've found a display dedicated to Miyazaki films in half of the game/cd/dvd shops I've been to, at one point or another.

Everyone expecting naruto, one piece, bleach, inuyasha, etc in this are super naive!

Although I think haruhi, Fist of the northern star and berserk deserved a spot somewhere in this countdown and that black lagoon should have been ranked higher than 17!

All in all I do not agree with this persons taste at all even if he does have black lagoon, cowboy bebob and lupin III in there.....

He has a fucking obsession with mechs, he's like HaroFreak. Also, Gurren Lagann is a far superior Gainax creation than FLCL.

Seconded.

I haven't watched that anime in soooo long, I really ought to rewatch a few episodes of it this vaccation.

Anyway so long for a couple of days.

Something about cleaning it up or something. New translation company. Like how Parasyte was originaly translated and distributed by Tokyopop but is now getting a Delrye release.

My attention span is terrible.

Then how did you manage to learn the amount of Japanese that you did? I can't stand to sit down and go through all that stuff. I just pick up words and such.

Don't feel bad, I've still not seen Azumanga yet and was nine-teen when I first saw Akira.

You have no clue to the words 'obsession' & 'mech' in the same sentence.

As far as I can tell the Nausicaa manga had a decent enough translation.

I learn it through school.

And I've been learning it for a few years.

I'm far less proficient than I feel I should be (despite being in the top 2 in my class).

Ever tried shopping for DVD's on a military base? They have Elvis movies in the "New Release" section.

I might not be as big a mech fan as haro freak but my truck is named Double X after the Gundam in After War: Gundam X. The next car I'm getting is red and will have the license plate of either 'REDCOMET' or 'SIEGZEON'.

Welcome to paradise.

I took french class[because spanish and latin were the other choices, pass]and was ranked 7th or so and I didn't even get higher than 85's on most of my tests. I guess I can understand. I'm happy with english and I'll learn greek soon.

Pfft, I'm getting straight 100's in Japanese.

Then again, that's somewhat incomparable.

Considering the only marks I can get are Not Achieved, Achieved, Merit and Excellence.

I took French a few years ago, and quit it after a year; it was boring.
