Sounds like something I'd be interested in. I'll look forward to that. Well, any battleship themed anime out there? Any based on actual modern(or past) day military? I know a few about war, though that's not the exact thing I'm looking for(Though I won't turn it down if there's war in it of course....I'm just not looking for something about straight out war, like Gundam.).

There was a ludicrous amount of carnage towards the end, but the actual bit concerning the German Navy is portrayed in a very serious manner.

Space Battleship Yamato.

The first and last word in cartoon shows about battleships.

The early bits of the Captain Harlock franchise are somewhat similar, but it drifts off into an epic sci-fi series after the titular character forsakes his military position to become a pirate.

I still remember that animated sig of yours that was a slide show. That and the one with the 3-D letters that spun with Kikyo on it. Lulz, the times.

I actually saw the Yamato in the background of a Captain Harlock episode. I remember a rumor that Mamoru Kodai/Alex Wildstar, the StarBlazers main character's older brother, was supposed to be Captain Harlock and they planned for him to appear as such halfway through the first season of Space Battleship Yamato.

Harlock is without a doubt the most awesome protagonist ever.

I think Black Lagoon does have some Navy stuff in it

There's a great arc in the first season loosely based on a bit of German Naval history that adds a refreshing change of pace from the relentless, gleeful carnage.

God-fucking damn I loved that episode, though im no Nazi lover anything to do with WWII is fair game for me. Still it pissed me off when that SS officer refused to give up, and I wasn't surprised when the Japanese Officer committed Suicide when he found out about their failure. I have to say I highly doubted they would've made it anyways. They were all doomed to lose since a good portion of Japans Navy was Destroyed, and after D-Day was a success. Poor Germans and Japanese, shouldn't of fucked with the Americans, British, Australians, Soviets, and Canadians.

I lost my internet connection for a couple of months so now I shall return again (assuming I was considered kicked out or whatever).

I still retain my stance that Lucky Star is a good show.

It's just difficult to get into at the start, as most of the earlier episodes are boring.

The other two, however, are inexcusable.

Hi everyone. I'm just dropping by to say that I just recently bought JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Vol. 9 at Hairy Tarantula on Monday. I'm going to be reading it in a few seconds

This is a call for all anime fans of Newgrounds... Do not despair there is a place where you can share and express your thoughts and discuss anime... This club isn't limited only to anime. Manga, hentai, doujin, OVAs, OSTs, and videogame discussion is also encouraged.

You don't have to be an otaku to be a member... Even bakas can join!

This place looks cool.
Expect me to be a regular.

I believe you have to go through a sign up process.

Just answer these questions.

1. What are your five favourite anime, and write a sentence or two about each, and why you like them.
2. What sorts of anime do you dislike?
3. What got you into anime?

I know it's a silly process, but bear with me.

It's tradition.

Now I'm reminded by LordKoolers post that I need to read JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

While I was in Borders today, shopping for Christmas presents, I came across a manga section.

I found that weird in itself, but was even more surprised to see a manga called "Return to Labyrinth" (which is supposedly an OEL manga; something I do not endorse).

I mean, Labyrinth is one of my favourite childhood movies, but this is just ridiculous.

While I was there, I contemplated getting the Read or Die manga, but decided not to.

I was already aware of Return to Labyrinth since it came out.

WELL I'M SORRY FOR BEING SO LATE ON THE UPTAKE.

I'LL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT, SINCE YOU KNOW, I'M SOME SORT OF ANIME NEWS REPRESENTATIVE.

I was just expressing an anecdote, not making the attempt to inform people that OH MY GOD THERE'S A LABYRINTH OEL MANGA.

Actually Borders has an even bigger selection of manga than Barnes & Noble. It's quite impressive[to me anyways]really. Well, living in the sicks and all.

Watched Street Fighter: Alpha The Movie earlier this evening and I'm watching Afro Samurai right now.

This series, for what it's worth, is fucking awesome. It's crisp and smooth animation wise with no QUALITY errors. It's story is very good and original for what it's worth. Not to mention the hip-hop theme it has and it's awesome beats too. I'd have to say thus far this series is a grade A, if not A+.

The Wonko are have returned! The English me talk good!

While I was gone, I watched Paprika, Genshiken, and I believe it's name was Shura No Toki. I'd have to go dig out the box to be sure. I enjoyed all of them, though none were the greatest thing ever. My hiatus to a Navy base is making me think that I joined the wrong branch, because the mall on base there had a shit load of anime.

I was just surprised, considering I haven't seen any manga in my city other than in a couple of comic book stores, a video game store, and the library.

It wasn't that big a section, however.

Just one shelf, and I think next to it it had a larger graphic novel section.

Heard many good things about Genshiken and I'd like to see it. That bastard Red has a wall scroll of that series. But.... Navy you say? You mean I could swab decks and watch anime at the same time? :P

I'm guessing you live in a small town or something not so big. I'd rather take scenery over convenience though.

The one I went to was about two crown victoria's [ford police cruiser for those who don't know]long and high and then there was another shelf that was about eight feet long and ten feet high. Along with a shit ton of marvel and DC stuff. Man I was in heaven.

Also, finished Afro Samurai. Win series is fucking win. One of the better series I've seen visually in a LONG while.

You're in the USMC right? I thought the Marine Corps bases were the second best, with AF being on top (I've toured Macdill here in Florida a few times). Unless you mean you were out doing shit, which in that case, I get it.

Btw, if you don't mind me asking, what's your paygrade and MOS? I love seeing military personnel on the internet, and well, it just makes me curious. When I get out of High School I'm going Navy, as an IT...joining the DEP right after this (my Junior) year is over with.

Actually, in the literal sense, Read or Dream is a fucking snoozefest. Nothing happens and there are maybe three action sequences in the entire series.

Read or Die has an actual plot and plenty of action, but the art is often a bit too goofy for all the serious goings-on (Nenene's face after almost getting raped is nothing short of hilarious, Mr. Joker always looks a tad off, some villains have downright laughable character designs) and the writing is less impressive (but it does have some great one-liners).

Plus, they're both completely contrasting in tone and mood.

Read or Die is still good, and I plan on finishing it eventually.

Afro Samurai was a real treat for the eyes.

Samuel L. Jackson is glad to say that the series is successful enough for Gonzo to do some more.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that Akira doesn't make any sense.

It left out a bunch of explanation which I assume is in the comic books.

The thing which it does have going for it is its visuals, and action scenes.
