But really, Panty and stocking? Tantei Opera Milky Holmes? This looks like a parody of the anime industry.

Ironically those are the two I've got my eye on the closest :P

also Milky Holmes is based off a visual novel game by the same name

I just picked up on Desert Punk from the beginning, I've only seen a few episodes before at an old friends house and I forgot how good it was. It's probably one of my favorites just because of how goofy it is, I love it!

Most of those look horrible.
The only one that I might be interested in is Togainu no chi, because I like game of death premises.

I agree, most of the anime for the fall looks unimpressive at best, Although Togainu should be pretty good, as long as it not some 100+ episodes with most of them being filler.

Come to think of it, I might like Panty and Stocking, considering a lot of people are discounting it as junk, I'll suppose I should check it out at the very least, considering I seem to like anime that everyone wants to trash, like a M.D Geist or something like that.

Sorry, shameless advertising coming up.

Don't blame me, I just want readers to discuss about stuff, and I don't want it to be in vain.

To justify my spam, any recommendations for the latest anime?

Nothing on there really stands out for me. I just want Darker Than Black season three and the second Evangelion movie to come out in North America.

DTB season 3 probably won't happen, that's what I've heard at least.

Is there any particular reason why? The end of the second season made it seem impossible for them not to make a third season.

Oh well, as long as they end up releasing the first season on Bluray I'll be more than satisfied.

Doing a Satoshi Kon Marathon, currently on Paranoia Agent. So far so good.

Also, I teared up at the end of Millenium Actress.

It's Princess Tutu.
I've been meaning to watch it for several years now.

Saw a couple of films at some sort of travelling anime exhibition that hit my city.

Redline and King of Thorn. Summer Wars was also there, but I had already seen it a few months ago (great movie).

Redline was great. It had amazing style and animation, it was incredibly funny, and altogether thoroughly entertaining. The film is basically what you would get if you got the film version of Speed Racer, turned it (back) into an anime, turned the dial up to eleven, and mixed in a heaping dose of animated flair. The plot concerned some sort of hardcore future car race on a cyborg Nazi planet called Roboworld. The cyborg Nazis do not want the racers on their world and hilarity ensues.

If you get the chance, see it.

King of Thorn, however, was pretty average. It some some sort of sci fi survival horror which worked reasonably well as a dumb Hollywood style action horror but devolves into a reasonable dose of pretentious nonsense. I enjoyed it well enough, and a few of the action scenes were quite entertaining, but it's not really something I would recommend. It's one of (if not the) the first anime I've seen that utilises stereotypical hollywood action-horror archetypes (rather than anime archetypes) as its uncreative fallback, so that's uh, a little bit interesting?

Also, again. Summer Wars. See it. No excuses. Redline too.

Can I get some recommendations for anime from the 80's and early-mid 90's? just not interested in mecha stuff. also, some entertaining violent sleazy trash along the lines of Violence Jack, Mad Bull, etc.?

If you like Violence Jack you might like Devilman, since it's made by the same person and the style is similiar.
The Devilman OVAS are especially very cool.

I love the part where Devilman just rips off the tits of one of the female demons.

Oh yeah, I did remember seeing the OVAs a while ago too. Damn, I wasn't able to sleep at night after watching that, and I normally don't get shocked by stuff like that. It sure sounds like Go Nagai has a very sick mind, not that I'm complaining, but still.

just watched myself yourself its cool and interesting all in all not bad also watched true tears vary sad its really great not sure what to watch next any ideas guys

Hey, what about Soul Eater, guys? I saw almost all of the dub episodes and that show ROCKS!!!

I liked it but the ending was just stupid IMO

I personally don't like it. The slapstick comedy and typical over the top style really turned me off.

The end of the second season just had me raging so much. Just. What the fuck? What the fuck happened at all?

It's all about the boss who randomly just appears, clothes torn, fuck off machine gun. What. The. Fuck?

bah jealous :(

also watched tokyo magnitude 8.0 recently, real tear jerker. Pretty much the entire last episode was heartwrenching D:

Honestly, I didn't really have very high expectations for Soul Eater, but over time, I started to get hooked on the series. The ending though, was meh at best, considering how impressive the action and comedy was throughout the series. And I don't really apporve of "marrying" toilets, but I guess that's shonen anime for ya.

Why not? I find t very well done for an anime even though it is a short series.

Because it's extremely pretentious and poorly written. Some of the action scenes are entertaining, but overall it's a very poorly done series.

Goodness, this forum has changed since 2003, huh?

It wasn't that bad of a series, but it got a little too pretentious and they seem to abuse boob shots and blood and gore to a point where it almost became something like Gantz, except treated more seriously. And that's saying something from me, who is generally big on blood and gore in anime, like Hellsing or Mad Bull.
