Current favorites or must see!

topic posted Wed, April 26, 2006 - 8:33 PM by  Tori
So, what would you all say is your current addiction? What would you say is the 'must see' that you have just seen?

Just pause the T.V./puter long enough to type in a name or so.

I'm jonsin' for something new or re-released. So Share!

    Hmmm... I really enjoyed:

    Matentei Loki Ragnarok (Seems very fluffy at first, but there is a lot of darker things swirling under all that fluff...it really sucked me in).

    Beck

    Spiral (It's a good watch, but it has one of those ambiguous endings and you never find out a lot of the secrets, apparently they got ahead of the manga author)

    Perfect Blue

    St. Luminous (The first few episodes look like a dating sim, but it's really a good supernatural story with a neat ending).

    Kimi Ga Nozumi Eien (I had no idea a dating sim turned anime could be that emotionally involving, and PAINFUL. I hurt with the characters).

    Paranoia Agent. That just started on Adult Swim this week and I'm morbidly fascinated with it.

      It's so weird and mesmerizing. I enjoyed it.

      I have been catching this really strange anime called mirage of blaze. It's very interesting and I can't seem to look away. It has been run on wam! cable channel after Vandread -- another awesome anime.

      Enjoy

    For some reason, Blood: The Last Vampire sticks with me.

    I think its because its not a typical story, but a slice out of the life of an unusual being. It starts with open ends and ends with open ends.

    I really appreciate the intensity of the character, from the perpetual scowl on her face, to her complete silence as she rushes into a room.slices a vampire in two, to her solitude as she walks around a military base with a sword hidden in a case under her arm.

    My favorites are Slayers, Photon and Maze. The new Appleseed in Awesome. My hubby has been addicted to Kiddy Grade, recently. I just saw the ROD movie which was very good also.

      Ahmm no Tv for me, so mostly movies/rentals:


      -"The place promised in our early days"
      ( you should check this out if you liked voices from a distant star,which I think is great)

      - "Dead leaves", completely insane.

      -And I know this is sligthly unrelated, but found out about "Drawn together " on comedy central and became instantly addicted.

        Okay Kids Hello From Rogue Land this months new anime to take a look at are

        Fate Stay Night available from Mahou look for them by searching
        Moon phase anime bittorrent
        Which brings me to my next pick and going to be harder to Download cause it is licensed currently by Funimation is
        Tsukuyomi Moon Phase, find it on Limewire although youll be lucky to get it Dowloaded, if you dont mind dubs (and its a good dub funny!) look for it at Suncoast.
        Fans of Tsubasa, Im sorry to say will not see a second season unless Dattebayo can find a reliable scripter and subbtitler. Its sad, I love that show if youve got the stuff they need someone who has completed at least 22 episodes of a total series it is not being optioned to any other fan group so please spread the word about this :) have fun and good viewing

      I agree with April...Slayers (original series), Photon and Maze and new Appleseed are all awesome! :) I very much want to buy the soundtrack for Appleseed. There's a few good EDM (Electronic Dance Music) artists that have tracks on there.

    I recently picked up Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu. I was skeptical at first, but eventually it won me over. At times I couldn't stop laughing. I think its better than the original series.

    Okay twice in one month who would have thought?!?!?!

    Just DLd Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, huge huge file 700.2MB
    but it was well worth it. Thank all that is green and good that Square/Enix learned from the catastophic Spirit within and went back to thye game for story line....I have played the FF franchise ( beaten the snot out of evey one) since it came out on Nintendo way back in the two button days
    The movie did the game, squareE, and fans justice...pick it up

    This is mostly reiteration, but...

    Paranoia Agent is ill. Also by Satoshi Kon are Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, and Tokyo Godfathers. I love his artwork and storytelling.
    GunGrave was engrossing.
    I just finished Noir, which has some nice twists and a good backstory.
    I can watch Neon Genesis Evangeleon over, and over, and over, and over and still be captivated each time I watch it.
    I'm trying to get into Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, but I'm having trouble. I loved both movies, but the series isn't doing it for me. Maybe it's time to try again!
    Samurai Champloo was great, too.
    Not anime but still Japanese and VERY worth it is Kamikaze Girls--very campy and fun.

      In the not Japanese, but still in the anime vein -- I'm really enjoying Avatar: the Last Airbender.

      Just watched several episodes of Gokusen and that was fun.
      And, as a comparison of manga vs. anime, I've been enjoying the anime version of Hellsing.

      It's all about the Tachikoma!!!

      IMHO, the Tachikoma voices are barely listenable in the English dub. They sound too much like women instead of hyperactive children.
