Who the hell watches the English dub versions? I don’t think I’ve ever watched any anime in English except for DBZ and maybe Gundam Wing.[/quote]
Got a funny story about this one: I watch DBZ both in French and in English. In French, they had these uber-ghey, high-pitched voice, and the intro song that would make the teletubbies’ sound manly, yet they kept all the bloody, gory scenes that the much better dubbed English version had removed… That one really got me puzzled!

I know very little about anime, however I watched one late night approx. seven years ago and loved it but I have no idea who made it and would like some help in finding it please.
I apologize in advance if my description of the movie is incomplete: The story involved a “bad” creature living in a forest kidnapping folks. The “good” guy was hired to find him and rescue a women from this bad ass creature. The fight scenes were incredible and one of the combatants had these cool round spinning weapons, picture a small saw blade that could go through whole trees. There were some soft porn scenes as well. It didn’t have a DBZ feel to it at all and the characters didn’t have big hairdos lol.
Thats all I got to go on, I would search myself on youtube but I wouldn’t know where to start and it could take forever.
Thanks for any help.

That? Ninja Scroll? Give us info about the characters. What did they look like.

Cowboy Bebop, for the soundtrack alone.
And why hasn’t someone posted “Squats and Milk!” yet?
Oh, hey, what was that crappy anime that someone showed me, that was hilarious, because whoever did the english dub was obviously a hair band fan? There was like Castle Metallicaca, the hero’s name was Dark Snyder, I swear some sorcerer was yelling “Twisted Sistah!” as he threw fireballs.[/quote]
A friend basically made me watch the whole of Bebop. I found it to be disappointing for the most part. Bangin’ soundtrack though.
I remember seeing outlaw star as a kid. Really blew all other cartoons out of the water.
Oh, and the original Dragonball. Funnier than its successor, less bullshit and slightly perverted.

I really can’t recall anymore than I wrote earlier but I am going through the huge list above. Hellsing looks amazing and I’m going to check out Ninja scroll.
If you liked Ninja Scroll then you will like/love “sword of the stranger”:
This is the ending fight and totally spoils the movie, but if you will never watch the movie or don’t care to spoil it then it’s one of the best fucking fighting scenes ever.
Personally my favorites have been
DBZ, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist. Anything that’d fall along those lines? Something more along Bleach/FMA more so then DBZ. Any suggestions?
Here’s a list of some anime I really like but I’ll go ahead and recommend that you read the manga instead since they are even better.
-Hajime no Ippo (the manga is even better and has been running since 1989; great mix of, well, everything)
-Berserk
-Jungle wa Itsumo Hale nochi Guu (funniest, most random anime I’ve ever seen)
-FLCL (Furi Kuri)
-Neon Genesis Evangelion
-One Piece (stopped watching the anime a while ago but the manga is amazing and gets better and better and I’ll even admit that I’ve gotten teary eyed because of the emotion conveyed in it.)
-Golden Boy (another great comedy)
-GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)
-Read or Die (the OVA mainly but the series was good too)
-Trigun (a classic)
-Cowboy Bebop (every anime list requires this!)
-Grave of the Fireflies
-Gundam Seed
-Hunter x Hunter
-Full Metal Panic
-Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu!
-Scryed
-Hellsing
-Mahoromatic
-Outlaw Star
-Love Hina
-Tenchi Muyo
-Dragon Ball
-Dragon Ball Z movies (my favorite is Bojack Unbound)
-Full Metal Alchemist
-Rurouni Kenshin OVA’s
This seems like a good place to ask, I’ve been trying to find an anime movie I watched many years ago, I think it was done by the same people that did “Akira” but I haven’t gotten any leads. From what I remember it starts out with like an agent with special abilities being recruited for a mission in the mountains where they found some strange alien ship that is a time machine? The one scene that keeps coming back to me is this big fat guy with a mini gun wiping out the barricade outside the site. Any ideas?
Damn, my favorites haven’t even been mentioned yet:
Angel Beats
Higurashi no naku koro ni (also kai and rei, the next seasons)
Umineko no naku koro ni
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Kurokami the animation
This ugly yet beautiful world
Seitokai no Ichizon
Seitokai Yakuindomo
True tears
Myself; yourself
Ef: A tale of memories (and the next season; melodies)
Mostly drama and psychological here. Elfen lied was already mentioned so I omitted that.

Never seen FMA, but ‘Kurokami’ follows the same idea of ‘I use my strongest attack, it is ineffective, now I will use a stronger attack that magically appeared’ lack-of-logic action sequence which is for some reason really appealing and seen in DBZ and Bleach.
Kind of like how Ichigo just won’t f-ing die, and just keeps on magically getting stronger when it is convenient.
