Oi Teme, It's the *Official* Anime Discussion Thread (>_<)....discuss?

So here we are again...only this time it's official. This thread is basically for discussing things about anime and things related to anime, like Manga, OVA's, and other things of the likes. Also, at the start of every new page I (or someone else) will post up whatever is currently being discussed (that is if something specific is being discussed) so an outsider won't be totally confused when they jump to the last page. Also this is a good place to get recommendations so if u r looking for a new anime to check out or looking to get into it but don't know what to check out first then just ask in here. Trust me, there is something out there for damn near everyone...

BTW you can post up picz or vid clips if u like.....i know i will :)

Spoilers:

In efforts to keep things from being spoiled for others, i suggest and ask that you put up a spoiler tag whenever you think something that you are about to say will ruin a particular scene, episode, or ending. If it is minor or trivial then it might not be necessary but to some it might still be...so when in doubt just tag it.

Examples of spoiler tags:

When doing spoiler tags u can simply put *Spoiler* at the top or in the title box and also put in the name of the anime/manga/whatever that is being spoiled. But if u r replying to a message that already has spoiler at the top then it probably isn't necessary.


ex:

Basic-

*Spoiler*: Claymore

After 20+ dragged out episodes, Claire finally turned SSJ4 in ep. 210....etc



Advanced-

*Spoiler*: Claymore

{color=white}After 20+ dragged out episodes, Claire finally turned SSJ4 in ep. 210....etc{/color}

*of course you'd replace "{}" with "[]" when doing the advanced one, though the basic way is sufficient...so pick which ever u one u'd like.
*in order to see the white color coded spoilers u just simply highlight the text.

(only get these if ur anime won't playback and only choose one from below. Get the one on top first...if that doesn't work then get the second one. These two are media players. If they don't work then get the third one and if that doesn't work then get one of the last two.)

In.

Anime link for some anime.

Rebuild of Evangelion.... anyone heard of this or watched it?

and does anyone have a link to free anime vid feeds online? i know it was posted somewhere in one of the anime threads...

Has anyone seen Kanon? I'm barely on episode 5 but it's pretty good so far. Kind of weird but pretty funny.

Cowboy Bebop was pretty rad... I dislike anime in general though

Yes, it's a very complex series with little action. Very boring..

[QUOTE=stealth_swimmer;76603053]Has anyone seen Kanon? I'm barely on episode 5 but it's pretty good so far. Kind of weird but pretty funny.[/QUOTE]

Only like two episodes. Bad concept

One of the best drawn amines ever, and very bad ass!

I saw the first Dubbed and then Subbed, and I must say they ruined it with the dubbed. So, subbed FTW

[QUOTE=jampsifit;76604283]thanx a bunch...now i don't have to waist time watching it...
[/QUOTE]

Yah. The whole series is about one boy whose having an identity crises, because his father never paid attention to him. Lots of random thoughts in most episodes, that keep you guessing until answered at the end of the series.

What little action it did have, was very boring. Same meck, fighting the same type of enemy, and always pulling through in the end.

[QUOTE=BabyBodybuilder;76603843]

Well, seeing as I got it first without reading anything about it, I don't know what the concept is so every episode is like a surprise, lol.

Wow strong hosility over a joke, ease up fellas. I caught a few eps of dbz then I dled a season and I got hooked. I catch little bits of some cartoon my sibligns watch called naruto(sp?), embarrassingly enough its kind of entertaining.

[QUOTE=stealth_swimmer;76605153]Well, seeing as I got it first without reading anything about it, I don't know what the concept is so every episode is like a surprise, lol.[/QUOTE]

Don't get me wrong. It's a VERY good series, and is ranking high on most fav list, but it just seemed like it was done too many times before.

Yea well you did make a post about race, which I could report you for, but I choose not to...and I don't see any :D or jks, or jps....but anyway not a fan of Naruto but it's extremely popular.

DBZ is a AWESOME series. One of my favorites. They actually left a loop hole, so they could let characters die, and then bring them back later to add dramatic effect. Which always kept me entertained.

Naruto, is what I'm currently hooked on. Its a pretty good series, one of a kind, but 1/2 of all the episodes are just fillers. If you want to watch it. I suggest you watch the subbed one, because like any anime its always better in the original voices..

Ain't that Neon Genesis Evangelion? Or is it like a related series?

I actually think CsNut is Asian :D. Filipino to be exact (don't quote me on this).

[QUOTE=BabyBodybuilder;76604613]I saw the first Dubbed and then Subbed, and I must say they ruined it with the dubbed. So, subbed FTW[/QUOTE]

all dubbed anime are practically ruined....well except for DBZ that one was still pretty good after dubbing.

Anyone know of any other dubbed anime thats still good? a couple of months ago i watched on of my favorite anime for the first time on the cartoon network...after watching it, i was MAD!!! That pretty much reinforced my belief in, "Say [color=red]NO[/color] to Dubbz" :o It just isn't worth it kids so just say NO!

[QUOTE=JACKIECHANFAN;76607793]I actually think CsNut is Asian :D. Filipino to be exact (don't quote me on this).[/QUOTE]

Flip? That'd be cool but way off rofl. Chinese/Khmer/Thai.

[QUOTE=The Lone Wolf;76607493]If anybody here tells me how much Kenshiro from Hokuto No Ken weighs and his bf% will get reps[/QUOTE]

Dude in Raoh Gaiden his physique is godly! (so is everyone elses in Raoh Gaiden too lol). Anyway he's probably 5' 10" 220lbs 6% body fat, he is JACKED!
In the original series and first movie they were whacked out of proportion on multiple occasions...Raoh was sometimes like 10ft tall lol.

[QUOTE=JACKIECHANFAN;76607793]I actually think CsNut is Asian :D. Filipino to be exact (don't quote me on this).[/QUOTE]

Yea I was joking anyway, if I was serious I would have reported him...he's a pretty good poster.

Cowboy Bebop is actually good dubbed IMO. Of course subbed is better though.
