anime expo '02

[Contra]

i attended the anime expo '02 today, it was great! well, that is, if you are an anime fan like me. this got me to thinking, is anyone at this board an anime fan?

i'm not talking about "hentai" either, which is the porno versions of anime. everyone gets them confused.

the story lines are complex and addictively twisted. the animation itself just looks awsome, and the characters are deep and developed.

anyone else here like anime? comments...

Best...Hippie...EVER.

So tell us, what is flat-out THE most violent cartoon you've ever seen?

I just saw the Japanese film "Battle Royale", and while not animated, it was about the most violent non-horror film I've ever seen. Buncha kids stuck on an island, and they air their grievances with each other in the most bloody ways possible. Just wait for the exploding neck...

Close second is "A Better Tomorrow 2"...or at least the last twnty minutes of it.

my fav anime is "princess mononoke", but the most violent is probably still "fist of the north star"

unfortunately, these days most of the anime i get comes from cartoon network, although the stuff they play there is great shit.

there's a thread somewhere where someone asked for picks as to the best anime for someone to watch. i tried to search for it, but couldn't find it

Everything pales in the face of "Cowboy Bebop". All hail.

I've found myself getting into the oringinal Dragonball. Its a bit silly, but it's interesting to see where all the characters cmae from and how they developed before DBZ (which i used to watch religiously but am getting tired of the repeats)

yes right now cowboy bebop is my top anime.

the producer, animator, and composer for the series were at the expo for an open to questions forum, it was hot!

bloodiest anime i've seen so far is nija scroll, a classic

I've tried to watch "Gundam", and while I've liked what I've seen, the series is just too massive for me to get what's going on...

I like it when I can catch "Outlaw Star" and "Big O" as well...

gundam is great, but you really have to watch every episode

big o has a very cool concept (the city without memories) but they don't do enough with that. they should make it more like a film noir to set it apart

outlaw star rocks the mofo'in house.

and am i the only one who liked the tenchi series? i heard it was nearly hentai in japan

if you get the chance, there's a really good japanese series called "rouronin kenshin." not very bloody, but still good stuff

Don't remember this thread saying "anime-haters, post HERE!", but whatever...

Hippie, when I lived over in Bangkok, I saw all the series uncut, uncluding DBZ and Tenchi...Tenchi wasn't quite hentai, but it sure could pass as late night Skinemax material at times...at least in the first couple seasons...it was a lot like "Undressed" on MTV, just with actual T&A...and the first few seasons of DBZ were violent as all get out...I really can't watch it here in America...they have to edit so much out it makes it seem like everyone just stands around talking for 20 minutes and then just two minutes of action.

DBZ (which i used to watch religiously but am getting tired of the repeats)


Me too, i loved that show so much. I dont' really like the new ones as much. Its just a Super Saiyan Saga. No one else has a chance anymore. I liked the Namek ones the best.

We've had quite a few anime threads.

I went to Otakon, but decided to pass on Anime Expo NY and BAAF this weekend. I'll hit up the anime con in NJ in Oct.

I really like Cowboy Bebop, but my fave is Rurouni Kenshin.

i have the first two seasons of kenshin, including all the movies. i've heard that the third season sucks ass so i've held off on it, but i'm going to start collecting it just so i can see for myself and have the whole series.

EVA is the best storyline EVER!!! so complex, and the movies are even more of a mind fuck

My favorite anime movies are "Ghost in the shell" and "Jin-Roh" you gotta see these!!!!

O&A FOREVER!!!

[Contra]

those two are good.
you also wanna check out the classic "akira"
"sin"
"kite"(the directors cut is much better but you can only get it in chinatown)
and "spriggan" very hot flick

the way to go is the series tho. they are much more in depth and interesting.

"record of lodoss war" and "vampire hunter d" are also two great classic anime.

is it wrong of me to want a hentai version of "sailor moon?"

At Otakon, my friends dressed as the guys from Weiz Krutz and the girls were all over them. One girl even asked my friend to sleep with her. I was all but ignored because I wasn't in a costume.

I thought Jin-Roh just dragged way too much in the middle.

And why did no one recommend Ninja Scroll yet?

And hippie, you want SM Doujinshi. Available on ebay and some of your less than finer websites.

no one mentioned "the guyver" either. If its good enough to make a crappey live movie with mark hamil, its good enough for me

the guyver was "ok"

and i did mention ninja scroll, as one of the bloodiest anime i've seen, which is pretty much a recommendation.

i just saw the first episode of "excel saga", so far it is the FUNNIEST friggin thing i have ever seen

I love anime. However, I lack the sufficient funds to buy much of it.

I do like Tenchi Muyo though. What a fag that Tench is - a half dozen chicks (at least) around him at all times, and he ain't banging a one of them.

BTW, anyone, let me know if you need hentai doujinshis, cause I'm totally without morals or scruples and will absolutely point you in the right direction.

I've been talking about setting up an ftp with someone for something else, but if there was interest, I'd consider running an anime ftp as well. It is legal to distribute fan subbed works that are not licensed in the US (series like One Piece and Final Fantasy Unlimited), but not those that are (Kenshin, SM, etc.)

And yes, I do have all 25 eps of FFU. No, I've only seen the first 4.
