Topic: Anime

What are you watching? What are your favs? And, of course, posts letting us know you don't watch it!

For me I'll just start by saying, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Oh and also if you are watching an anime that is still currently in circulation in Japan, and you are watching it in English, like say on Cartoon Network, that doesn't count. Well it does, but I hate you.

Meh. Cloe is really into some anime, her best friend is way into it. I've never quite gotten the appeal. I think I'd like the scripts more.

Re: Anime

There's like four good anime shows, and the rest of it is crap. Watch those, and move on.

Same with Japanese live action films. Only 4 good ones, ignore the rest. No nation can produce more then 4 good shows in any medium smile

Re: Anime

Lots of good stuff out there, among the crap smile

Irresponsible Captain Taylor- easy going lazy guy becomes captain of a starship during a war. Is he just lucky, or does the whole zen thing work?

Armored Trooper VOTOMS- one of the best war shows ever.

Bubblegum Crisis (original)- combine Blade Runner, Streets of Fire, and the music video for the ASIA song 'Go' and you get cyberpunk goodness!

Battle Athletes Victory- when the first episode starts with teen athletes running into minefields as part of midterm exams, you know you're in for a fun time.

Re: Anime

I'm also a big fan of all the Gundam Series, because I love giant robots/super soldiers.

The original Gundam is very subversive, really. Told to just make a kids show to sell toys, instead they create a complex SF story where both sides are somewhat evil. Like Star Trek and now Star Wars it later became its own genre, with some shows fitting into the original continuity and others just using the name.

It was also the first show where the giant robots were considered just weapons, not super special magic beans smile VOTOMS took this to its logical extreme, treating the mechs as just big tanks to be used and abandoned when needed.

Re: Anime

And I pretty much love every story that has the "Gundam" name. I would say my least favorite is G-Gundam, but even that I enjoyed. 8-th MS Team would probably be my favorite, it's the most realistic combat, no impenetrable gundams or like ridiculously crazy shit, at least from what I remember.

That's a bit like saying you love any movie with a vowel in the title smile

No. It's like saying you love every Star Trek movie.

Re: Anime

Or every Star Trek book more likely smile Gundam is one exploited cash cow (I remember when it was a finished idea, three tv series and a final movie, before they started doing side stories and alt universes)
