GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

ok so i figured we needed a thread for the anime people. post up your fav's!Vampire hunter Dcowboy bebopsamurai champloo (from the makers of cowboy bebop)initial dI just got all the episodes for samurai champloo, its a good one, kinda like cowboy bebop but samurai time. There were more i watched but i cant remember their names!

only one i've ever watched was Initial D...also ruled in the game when it was at the arcade! my car was the Evo 4..best track was..i forget but it had the 3 hairpins and stuff..had the record for going up the hill edit.. the track was Akagi!http://initiald.sega.jp/englis....html

the real life initial d movie was also entertainment. I dont remember if i played the game...I think i had the Jap one for ps2...but being in jap its hard to read...

lol very, i havent seen the movie but would like too..and the game was addicting..with the lil "memory card" it gave you and stuffi'd love to own one of the arcade machines like it. my buddy also had the jap version of it for the ps2

oh yeah i used to watch Ghost in the shell too.the live action initial d is soo corny but if you like drifting and initial d its awesome, id totally buy the dvd.

Cowboy Bebop was about the only series I've watched from start to finish and enjoyed. Absolutely loved it.

been so long since I watched a good anime... I can't remember the titles to my favs. thats sad

does voltron count?? i used to LOVE that show as a kid. i should start grabbin the dvd'srobotech was dope too

Quote, originally posted by Herb »Any Studio Ghibli filmNeon Genesis Evangelioni was hoping someone would bring up these. Miazaki is the best. i love "Nausica: Of the valley of the wind" and "Princess Monoke". "Spirited Away" is really good too, but i prefer the other 2. Haven't had a chance to fully watch "Kiki's Delivery Service", "Porko Rosso", or some of the others. "Howel's Moving Castle" was good except for the ending. it was an American written book first so it has a kinda lame ending that is expected. the rest is very good.I have seen the first 3 stages of Inital D along with the special stage and the live action. the live action was kinda confusing and a joke. they combined a ton of material from the anime and the manga into it and kinda jumbled it. i need to try and find the last stage of it, the one where Takumi finally got into the team and then starts driving an AWD vehicle. The Inital D 3rd Stage(i think it's called) in arcades is fun. I either drive a evo 3 card that i have, or my AE86. fun game. annoying to try and beat the records without using the "cheat".must sees of mine are Ghost in the Shell movies and the seriesAkiraThe Karas, both OAVsOriginEscaflowne(not the version that aired here in the US, they cut soooo much out)GasarakiPokemon(hey, it got decent again)Digimon(what can i say, i like it)FLCL. it's short and freaking great. don't buy it if at all possible. it's got 6 episodes on 3 DVDs. it's expensive like that.DragonHalf. once again it has 2 episodes because i think it was the director who got arrested due to tax issues and instead of trying to find another, they just scrapped the project. XDExcel Saga(friggin hilarious)And if you can find it, the fan sub of Cowboy Bebop:Knockin on Heaven's door. yes it was released here under the title of "Cowboy Bebop:The movie" it's just not worded as well, and doesn't have the same feel. they actually do that a lot. they will change what the characters say to fit more with something that would be said here or better sounding to us, or because they are wierd(i.e. in Naruto whenever he says "Believe it!" in our version, he is actually swearing)if you have the time, Dragon Ball, dragon ball z, dragon ball GT. yeah, i know it's 20 years of T.V.i do not recommend watching Naruto, Fushigi Yuugi(Inuyasha), and anything on Fox, UPN, The FoxBox, or ForKids. they butcher the shows. i hear that One Piece in Japanese is decent but it's butchered once it came here. They cut episodes, changed story plots, and how the characters act. Some of the stuff on Cartoon Network is ok. haven't really had the chance to see it recently due to working overnights.i will add others later that my friends own that i've seen.and cause it's kinda related, is anybody in the Central Area going to ACEN in may? i'll be there. i'm hoping to Cosplay, but it depends a ton on my free time up till then and cash.

Akira....and that's it. I have yet to find any other anime that I would bother watching again.

Not a big anime fan, but seen some recently that I enjoyedCowboy Bebop (movie)Ninja ScrollUtawarerumono-and after Mavrik reminded me:Princess MononokeSpirited Away

Thanks guys, I remembered the titles from reading this thread.Ninja ScrollPrincess Mononoke (probably not spelled correctly)AkiraWitchbladeMacross Plus (probably not spelled correctly)Ghost in the Shellstill others I can't remember...

Ninja ScrollPrincess MononokeAkiraMacross PlusGhost in the ShellInitial DBattle AngelSpirited AwayDragon Ball ZTekkaman BladeTeknomanAll the old 80 cartoons like Voltron, GI Joe, Transformers, Thundercats, etc..XVampire Hunter DDarkside BluesAppleseed (Just bought the new one)Too many more to think of!

ok so i forgot the name of this anime i really liked. its about vampire police (sorta) the main guy is a vampire and has yellow tinted sunglasses, he had to bite a younger female police woman to save her, she had like blond or orange hair. and now they kinda work together, maybe it was bloodlust? idk anyone?oh yeah princess mononoke was awesome.Whats appleseed about?again if you liked cowboy bebop check out samurai champloo its awesome!check ithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUY0GZT26_4

hmm how about Blood++ or Black lagoon or Macross Frontier/Zero for a few I liked

Gundam WingTekkaman Blade/Teknoman (damronjr!!! I did't think anyone else watched this!!!)DN AngelNarutoGungraveOutlaw StarWolf's RainTenchi Muyo Howel's Moving CastleEscaflowneRonin Warriors Avatar: Last AirbenderDigimon

it looks like Hayao Miyazaki is demanded by all.and wolf's rain, what is it about? i've been meaning to try and watch that series along with .hack and play the games.

EscaflowneBattle Angel Surprised no one has said this but... the R rated Sailor Moon, not the kids version kids anime if you will... but I likeAvatar, the last air bender also.first seasons of Pokemon when it was Ash, Misty and um... heh forgotfirst seasons of Digimon, haven't watched any in the last 6 years though.Any Dragon Ball Z fans?I really enjoyed the Street Fighter anime from Manga, good stuff. Most Manga movies are.

Forgot about Street Fighter. That was pretty decent. What's the anime with Vash the Stampede? I really enjoyed that series. Hmmm. That's going to bug me now.- - - edit - - - I think it was Trigun.There's an R rated sailor moon?

Quote, originally posted by kunkstyle »There's an R rated sailor moon?yeah, only been able to find it dubbed in english. kinda hard to find though. I don't own any. never really got into buying a lot of anime.

Quote, originally posted by tribalman »...and wolf's rain, what is it about? i've been meaning to try and watch that seriesWolf's Rain is set in the distant future when much of civilization has been destroyed. There are still settlements that are populated by people, but there are also wolves who can appear like humans.Wolves at this point in time are thought to have been extinct. The remaining wolves are trying to find an entrance to "paradise" in which only wolves can find.Produced by Bones, animation and character design is very well done.

Quote, originally posted by kunkstyle »There's an R rated sailor moon?I don't think there is...

Quote, originally posted by VforVIBE »I don't think there is...I think the title of the series is Sailor Moon R, but that's not a rating. There was also a Sailor Moon S, and Sailor Moon Super S, I believe.I don't know what the letters stand for, but at the very least they designate a different storyline as the series progress.Those expecting an 'R' rating will be disappointed. However I do believe there are plenty of adult spoofs of the characters.

You guys can doubt it but I've seen it. Watched Street Fighter Alpha yesterday, well parts of it. Had to record it cause I missed the end of it.

Quote, originally posted by Mavrik »You guys can doubt it but I've seen it. Ok, what was it called?

appleseedappleseed ex machina akira (one of the originals!!)samurai seven

Quote, originally posted by VforVIBE »Ok, what was it called?I found it back in my anime days of definatly not safe for children to watch phase lol. I can not for the life of me remember what any were called. only that the characters looked more "mature/older" and it was definatly rated R with a good amount of anime skin to be seen. definatly when the girls transformed to their sailor alter ego. I'm not about to search the internet for it now but its not through your regular anime channels. Look through hentia/tentical/hardcore anime.

hellsing!!! thats what the one was called..freakin love that one.

well my new dvd came in today, was one of the best 80's anime movies in my opinion. A few of my favorite quotes from it are, " Theres only 2 ways out of my command, on your feet like a man, or in a dity bag. An ity bity dity bag." and " Your going to work till you wish you were dead, then keep going becasue you are afraid if you don't I won't let you die." Anyone wanna guess what movie it is?

i just saw a appleseed dvd at BB, it looks sweet! ill have to check a few episodes out. afrosamurai looked good too, i think ive seen it before....

To me cartoon and anime are the same word. They fall under the animation category. They may have opriginally had very differant stylistic differances, like anime refering to animation coemign from japan where carttons refers to animation in america. But today with so many stiles and varieties I just refer to all animation for the most part as anime.

Ah, ok... but was I right Quotes by Sargent Slaughter?

yes you were right : )

I got most of those on your list, too. My new fav is AFRO SAMURI. That one just kicks booty! There also making a vidoe game out of it for PS3. The graphics look more life-like than the anime style.

not sur eif it fits everyones definition of anime or not but I just picked up the complete series of Dungeons and Dragons and it had the unaired finally done radio broadcast stile so I finally got to hear how it all ended and if they got to go home : )

a new one i would like to add, Shin Chan. it's an adult one and i think the first dvd is out or will be released shortly. i saw 3 episodes (they are short, multiple were aired in one time slot) and was laughing so hard. they drop quite a few swears for being young kids, but some of the humor is so high wit. i'm looking forward to next weekend where i can hopefully picd up some import dvds of this. btw, anyone going to ACEN? i'll be there.

got some new shows for my listDesert Punk. it does have adult humor in it, so no kiddies.Lucky Star. the show is sooooo random it is great. there are no such things as transitions in this show, i love it. like one scene they are in a Cake Buffet and they are trying to finish the food before their time is up and then have to get charged extra, but they just can't cause they are too full. quick cut and they are outside somewhere and talking about something completly different! plus the blatant references to reality are awesome. but they don't actually come out and say it because they don't have the rights to, just makes it that much funnier!
