The local record shop has it on sale.

Sad thing is with a price reduction AND the 30% off discount it's still like $100, and the store is going out of business.

YOU DO IT AGAIN, I'LL FIND YOUR PARENTS AND FORCE THEM TO WATCH GENMA WARS.

No one deserves that punishment.

Not even Hitler.

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

Well thats fucking stupid, i'll be damn sure to get the film version then.

Well, it's not, actually.

The OVA came first, all of the extra shit in the movie edition is kinda unnecessary space-filler.

Plus, the uncensored director's cut disc has both versions on it anyway.

Unless any other member has another suggestion, then Black Lagoon seems just peachy keen.

Damn straight.

No one wanted cocks, not even cocks.

Such a sad little man he is....

I didn't include Black Laggon since iv actually have yet to watch the dub version. DON'T WORRY THAT SHALL BE FIXED SOON ENOUGH.

HURRY UP

YOU'RE MISSING OUT

Even though he's fat and evil, i bet he can get laid pretty damn easily. Dem women cream over rich and powerfull Nazi's.

Montanta Max has a zeppelin.

Zeppelins epitomize "pussy magnet".

Sad thing is, the only females in his vicinity are a cross-dresser with a man's name, a tattooed freak of nature and a dead corpse strapped to a wall.

Oh well, he can always rape poor little Schrodinger for kicks, he looks feminine enough.

Not if he enjoyed Shojo-oriented shows though.
Maybe along the lines of force-viewing the entire "Pupkin" archive to a victim.

But that would be plain sadistic, not evil or even near cruel.

That's worse.

At least Genma Wars didn't drag on forever.

It just sucked.

A lot.

Well fuck i just need to get the damn dvd.

Same here.

I have an ancient VHS copy of the uncut movie edition and a recently purchased VHS of the edited OVA version.

THEY ARE IN NEED OF REPLACING

Do you think Cocks sometimes wake's up in the middle of the night and wonders.......why do i suck so much?

Charles Rocket did the same thing.

Fortunately, Chuck Rock had the balls to commit suicide and spare humanity more torment.

Rip van was very fuckable, he missed his chance.

Yeah, such a sad loss.

Rip van was the only soldier he had any respect for, too boot.

Alhambra was nothing more than a plaything, he fucking despised Obersturmfuhrer Blitz (I think everyone hated her, except for Jan Valentine) and Hans Gunsche is just hired help with no personality.

He's having an affair with Walter.

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!

On that Naruto was good when the Shippuden Arch began. I've also yet to see why Haruhi Suzumiya has become so popular. Then again it wasn't much to watch in my taste anyways.

Last few episodes of Dennou Coil have been great, a lot better then the previous episodes I would say. I am quite excited for the next episode now.

What are other watchers opinion on them?

Somewhere along those lines. He has had years of training through video games which saved his life.

Hahaha something like that. Merely for the fact that I've always enjoyed Char, whichever side he is on. He's a great character overall. I have to get the Zeon symbol as well but that will be later on. Although, I've not had anything on my record aside from a speeding ticket and that was in a friends car. Oddly enough it was a red honda civic and I told him he should call it 'Char'.

Meh, so I have turned to the dark side.
I am officially a fan of anime.

So, what do I do here?

Ask for more animes, of course.
Is there anyone out there that knows animes similar to Fate/Stay Night?
I just like it, so I thought there'd be more.
Or more animes from Type-Moon.

Statues.

But of course.

Sydney Games has like four I want badly at the moment.

GARY STILL BUYS VHS TAPES, LETS LAUGH AT THE DUDE BEHIND ON THE TIMES. (.....wait)

HEY FUCK YOU MAN WHERE ELSE WOULD I BE ABLE TO OBTAIN OBSCURE OLD GARBAGE LIKE THE DIRTY PAIR MOVIES HUH?!

At least good old Bradley Swaile is a likable whiny voice actor.

Damn straight.

On a Swaile-relevant note, watched Black Lagoon with Shane and Jim last night, they loved it.

I also commend Shane for having the same question as me at the end...

WHEN WILL ROCK GROW SOME BALLS AND FUCK REVY, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE?!

She died a horrible death without a man laying her down by the fire.

So very tragic.

He yeah, he just brushed aside

SPOILER

Zorin's death

NOTHING BUT A WORTHLESS INSECT

Wow, everyone at Millenium were one big happy insane family (do i sense a sitcom in the works?)

Oh, it's sitcom worthy, all right.

"Der Letztes Bunch"? "Fun with the Fourth Reich"? "INSERT TASTELESS NAZI REFERENCE/GENERIC SITCOM NAME PUN HERE"?

It'd be like "The Boys from Brazil", but funny and with a fat guy at the helm instead of Mengele.

Walter in his younger days was a very fuckable handsome young man.

Gotta love shota Walter.

I want opinions people. Which is better;

Princess Mononoke or Nausicaa?

As much as I love Nausicaa (specifically the manga), I have to give the nod to Mononoke since it was A) fucking brilliant and B) the first anime I managed to get my entire family to watch and enjoy.

This reminds me, I have a dire lack of Studio Ghibli DVDs.

I've been meaning to buy those two films for at least two years now, if not more.

At 11/24/07 02:41 PM, Mendou wrote: Plus theres more action, (both have kind of man vs nature themes but come on.....Mononoke had severed heads and arms)

The graphic violence was very lulzy.

It's probably the only PG-13 rated films ever to depict a man's arms being torn off with an arrow, plus the decapitations.

Hell, even Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door got an R, and it was hardly violent at all (with the exception of the monorail scene) compared to your average R-rated film.

So do i, FUCK WHERE DID I PUT MY VHS COPYS OF SPIRITED AWAY AND CASTLE IN THE SKY!?

PATHETIC

EVEN I HAVE SPIRITED AWAY ON DVD

WHO'S BEHIND THE TIMES NOW?!

But the statues come first?

You know my purchase hierarchy....

1. Ranma 1/2 merchandise
2. Random things on sale
3. Statues
4. Unpopular manga series
5. Fatty foods
6. Cop shows on DVD
7. Movie tickets
8. Eccentric clothing
9. Good movies/books/music/etc.

No, it's always been PG-13.

Oh shit.......when i ordered the series.......I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE FILM. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Silly bastard.

Oh well, im pretty dman sure i can find it cheap as hell online.

Or in a store.

I bought my copy at a Babbage's in NYC for $6, and two years later my mother found a copy in a bargain bin at a mom & pop video store for like $4.

Where ever we can actually find those.....

Junk shops, the internet and big-box store bargain bins.

For a mere $20 I obtained half of season seven and a volume of season six.

Yes

Cheap things are great, see above.

MORE

I have like ten now...

My shelf ran out of room, so Rei and Asuka are on my desk now.

Hey i got the Akira manga series, WHUTS AN AKIRA!? YOU STUPID, I GOT NARUTO VOLUME 13 INSTEAD AND DATS BETTER.

Ugh, ick, ugh.

Reminding me so much of Anoween '06.

"WHO THE FUCK IS TETSUO?"

You will never stop getting those.

Nope, can't live without chips, Law & Order or fancy hats.

Hello everyone.

I know nothing about anime, and was wondering what you thought was a good series.

They're both the same basic movie, but Princess Mononoke did it better.

If you haven't seen it yet, then Cowboy bebop would be a great start.

I agree with Mendou, and I'd like to say that Evangelion is also a nice start, as it was what reeled me into anime. Also, if you don't mind something very basic, that drags on for way too long, Bleach is sort of a good starter....it helped me pick up a lot of Japanese, and get used to reading subs. It sucks now that I've seen better, though....but that's just me (and just about everyone else XD).

If I had it and a "JESUS CHRIST IN HEAVEN" Zippo lighter, I'd be in nerd heaven.

I assume your just going to continue getting the single volumes for season 7?

Perhaps, depends on if I can find them.

Plus, season seven probably won't get reissued until late '08, so I am in no rush to get it.

Did you give that person the old *facepalm*?

Yes.

I want a hard gay hat.

I have one that looks indentical to it (minus the HG logo).

It is probably the most awesome hat I own.

It is one of the greatest anime series of all time and it's also probably the most accesible series for non-otaku viewers.

Evangelion would scare him away on account of it making zero sense and turning into a train wreck by the last few episodes.

Why would he like something that drags on? Were kind of introducing him to....you know.....good stuff.

Though im not sure if anyone else agrees, but Outlaw Star is a short but great series in my opinion. try that out.

Yea I own the series too, and though it isn't as good as Bebop its still a great start in the realm of anime.

I think it's about time for an update. I've sampled pretty much all Anime Network has to offer at this point, and I've discovered new anime to love and to hate:

New Favorites:
All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku
UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie
Ghost Stories
The Slayers movies
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Nurse Witch Komugi
Area 88

Indifferent Towards:
Najica Blitz Tactics
Gilgamesh
This Ugly Yet Beautiful World (I haven't seen enough to feel one way or the other)
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water
Blue Seed
Colorful
Cyberteam in Akihabara
DN Angel
AD Police
Happy Lesson
Debutante Detective Corps (I liked it, but all they have is an OVA pilot)

Anime I Now Loathe:
Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat
Nanaka 6/17
Final Fantasy Unlimited (There is one cute girl for fanservice, but a couple of child characters make the series too annoying)
Samurai Gun
Legend of the Mystical Ninja

There are supposed to be new anime series every month, so I'm looking forward to what they add in December.

I watched Tekkon Kinkreet. It was great. I loved the art style.

Well hello there, 0peth. As the others said, Cowboy Bebop is great. Outlaw Star is also good. I'll list a few other series.

Now and Then, Here and There
Lupin III
Crayon Shin Chan
Berserk
Death Note
Fist of the North Star (for laughs and relentless asskicking)
Hellsing
Paranoia Agent
Blue Gender

Shin Chan I cant exactly agree on (art style makes me wanna puke).

Everything else is great. Oh and upon that list I would also suggest Basilisk (quite violent) and Tenchi Muyo (basically what Love Hina copied off of).

Yes, but too bad it ain't convincing as a gateaway to nerdism. Basically it takes alot of blood, guts, and sex just to convince your average casual frat asshole.

But if would be funny if they start issuing Futari Ecchi as a guide book for sex education like issuing Guitar Hero for music class or DDR for PE classes. Plus it saves fifteen of your cash while it's on the school, then try to convince you need it for home study so you can keep it for yourself.

Lol, i must agree that Mononoke was top notch, and few films can compare, but i think Nausicaa is one of those that can. They are both great and i love them both.

This reminds me, I have a dire lack of Studio Ghibli DVDs.
I've been meaning to buy those two films for at least two years now, if not more.

Ghibli movies are my favourite anime movies (apart from Akira) and as of now i have 5. I have;

Princess Mononoke,
Nausicaa,
Howls moving castle,
Spirited Away,
Laputa.

I´m still to watch Laputa as i just brought it, but the other 4 are amazing movies.

old

I thought it was lots fun to watch, but nothing special. I do plan on getting the box set some time. I wouldn't watch it for story or characters, but when I'm in the mood for lots of action, I'd say it's a good choice.

and Tenchi Muyo

meh. I loved it when I was 10, but now I guess it's okay.

I have a question, too.

I recently watched the few episodes from AIR TV.

As far as I can gather, it originated from a game.

I've watched as far as the 4th episode and thought I'd ask you on your opinion on it.

Should I carry on watching it?
Or shouldn't I?

What are your opinions on this?

Anyone ever seen a show called Desert Punk?

I saw a few episodes over Thanksgiving Break and I became enraptured with it.
