Re: sick of childish anime
Sat, December 15, 2007 - 8:50 PMwhat specific type of anime do you like? how about death note, grave of the fireflies, samurai x / rurouni kenshin movie, ghost in the shell ? all of those are pretty adult but also very good to watch. -

Re: sick of childish anime
Sun, December 16, 2007 - 4:25 PMgrave of the fireflies made me cry. i hardly ever cry over a movie but i balled my eyes out to that one.
i like anime that is well made and not a bunch of still people and scenery with just mouths moving and close ups of their mouths moving.

Re: sick of childish anime
Sun, December 23, 2007 - 7:18 AMGrave of the fireflies made me cry too. I reccomend Noir or Ergo Proxy, hopefully that's along the lines of what you're looking for. ^o^; -

Re: sick of childish anime
Mon, December 24, 2007 - 9:07 PMErgo Proxy is excellent. Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo are terrific as well. I'd recommend Dead Leaves but not sure that's to everyone's tastes. -

Re: sick of childish anime
Thu, January 3, 2008 - 10:45 PMEureka seven is on during the week but think is little bit to late to get in series. Noin starts again on Anime Monday with Tacties. Another good anime is Desert Punk. -

Re: sick of childish anime
Sat, February 9, 2008 - 10:45 AMI just finished Eureka Seven. That anime is great.
Once you got through the first 13 episodes, which I really didn't like, that is.
But after that, great story, great character-development, great love-story, great everything.
Very entertaining!

Re: sick of childish anime
Wed, January 9, 2008 - 5:23 PMLast Exile and Gantz - both excellent recommendations and not for kids. -

Re: sick of childish anime
Thu, January 17, 2008 - 7:55 AMi dug Last Exile although the ending kind of came up sort of abruptly and i was like huh? but still worth checking out.
Kinos Journey is a pretty rad, albeit short, series...very taoist
for a movie Tokyo Godfather's was excellent
and Kakurenbo is a pretty random short...dug it though -

The last episode should have done a better job in revealing that everyone was living in an artificially made hourglass world (which is why hourglasses are shown so many times in the series) whose control system, Exile, was in the middle at the thinnest part (the Grand Stream). Exile is also the ship that would take the inhabitants of the world back to Earth. The Four Guilds were each descendants of the rulers of the original generation ship and entrusted each with 1/4 of the passwords to reactivate Exile. -

Re: sick of childish anime
Sun, January 20, 2008 - 3:16 PMThat's why the only way from Anatoray to Disith was to fly via the Grand Stream. The two countries were in different "bulbs". -

Re: sick of childish anime
Tue, January 22, 2008 - 3:43 PMif you feel like having your brain messed with, you could go with the work of Satoshi Kon
I think Tokyo Godfathers is the least crazed of his offerings, Paprika, Perfect Blue and Paranoia Agent are definitely great and definitely not for the kiddies either.

Re: sick of childish anime
Mon, February 11, 2008 - 10:13 AMI came to this thread late, but I have to say I'm still thankful for it.
Since the days of Lain, Cowboy Beebop, Samurai Champloo, Last Exile... I've found little that I can sit through for more than a few episodes. I now have three new series to add to my que, though - thank you!
A few others that I would contribute to the discussion, although not for everyone, are Escaflowne (2000), RahXephon (2001), and Texhnolyze (2004). -

Re: sick of childish anime
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 12:31 AMEl-Hazard, Maison Ikkoku, Kimagure Orange Road, Golden Boy, Outlaw Star, Brain Powerd, Dirty Pair, Sakura Wars, NieA_7, Macross..... I could go on and on. You'll notice though that I tend to lean more towards old school stuff. I've been into anime for decades and consider the 80s stuff to be the "golden age" of anime. ^__^
