Oh yeah, Sampurai Champloo.[/quote]
+1 for Bund and Ushiro no Daimaou; and if you liked Lucky Star (which I kind of did not expect to see on T-Nation at all) check into Azumanga Daioh. Less known and supposedly better than Lucky Star.

I’m lookin for something new to watch.
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?[/quote]
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.

I haven’t seen Kurokami but I’ll check it out I suppose. I like ichigo’s smart-ass type personality, and spike’s personality in Cowboy Bebop. I like that whole loner slightly bad guy, but is a good guy deep down.
Lol dunno if any has been watching DBZ kai. I have been just because…hell i love DBZ, and to see it minus some of the fight loops and a lot of the talking is just awesome.
But i saw this the other day, and for some reason found it hysterical. Apparently Mr. Popo is now Bright blue instead of black, maybe insinuating that the original mr.popo, despite being an immortal alien, was somehow racist. lol found that funny…
Mr Popo was kind of racist. You remember the old Tom and Jerry cartoons where black people were drawn a certain way (big red lips, big eyes, round faces), well Popo was all that, plus a turban, and a servant. Not sure if it offended anyone either way, since the anime was obviously Japanese and hence portrayed most other cultures in as stereotypical a way as possible (red Indians, Americans, Africans, Afr-Americans etc).
My list:
DBZ
Ninja Scroll
Afro-Samurai (first season, movie was shit)
Clone Wars (the one drawn by the Samurai Jack guy. The prequels would have been a lot better if they said fuck it, and made it a cartoon)
Ghost in a Shell: SAC (didn’t really get the films, but the series were fantastic)
I don’t get to watch alot of anime anymore, but the first season of “high school of the dead” is awesome. Essentially a zombie apocalypse anime style. Here’s a scene from the first ep

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? [/quote]
Pretty sure thats Spriggan, excellent animation, average everything else, basic action movie, not bad, killer chase scene in istanbul
I enjoyed FMA a good bit, quality animation and an interesting plot/character development. I haven’t seen the others though. I may go check out Neo Genesis. I started watching One Piece last night but it wasn’t really what I was looking for, the over the top whining of some of the secondary characters was really obnoxious.
DBZ
Berserk…can’t wait for the remake
FMA
GITS
Bleach
Naruto
Afro Samurai
Hellsing
Samurai Champloo
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Yu Yu Hakusho
Fist of the North Star
Death Note
…and quite a bit more, but as good as some of the animes are, the mangas are usually always better.
for all y’all FMA fans, you should check out FMA: Brotherhood. They basically redid the series as it was written, and not making up some crazy plot halfway through
i really enjoyed FMA (conqueror of Shambala wasnt really that good, but brought the story to an end). im actually in the middle of it right now (2nd time through).
im waiting for netflix to send FMA: brotherhood. from what i understand, the manga came out first, then they did the anime. the anime caught up to the manga, and decided to go its own direction. FMA:BH, like onepanda said, follows the manga and is a different story and ends properly w/o a sequel.
Ghost in the Shell: SAC was boring to me at first, then it got really good the last 3 or 4 episodes.
TRIGUN was my 1st anime and i enjoyed it a lot. IMO, if you liked FMA, you will like TRIGUN.
i just put DBZ in my netflix queue from all the good reviews in this thread.
