The Official Anime Thread

[Twin Drive Sigma Aquarion]

Because I do not know if HS, King Rathos, and myself are the only guys here that watch it. So.... Yeah.

That thread sucks horrendously bad.

[RagingDragon]

Hey I'm down to start a new one. I will talk about old 90's and pre-90's ass Anime, most likely.

Twin Drive, you almost have my liking you meter at full like, if you'd just change that goddamned avatar. Here, I'll give you one...

You're sad, take Brad, he'll be the best avatar.. you've ever had.

Here, I have this original soundtrack, almost perfect condition:

I used to listen to this while I was reading the Aliens vs. Predator omnibus, when it first came out, and I could read the entire first Alien vs. Predator series, on Ryushi, with Dachande, f**k. Those were the days, the reason why we all still believe.

[JaaayDee]

My top watchlist at the moment:

Legend of the Galactic Heroes (99 episodes watched so far, prolonging my completion as much as possible by watching other series in between each last episode)
Aoi Bungaku
From The New World
GitS: SAC1&2
K
Psycho-Pass
Steins; Gate (currently marathoning, this show is just amazing  )
Space Brothers

Hey I'm down to start a new one. I will talk about old 90's

Instant win. The 80/90s and early 2000's were when it was at its best. It started to dwindle around then. The fact that on that list a Death Note is a must see is ridiculous.

[DJ Pu$$yface]

DBZ FTW.

[King Rathalos]

Some of my favorites

Evangelion...duh (including the Rebuild movies, which I slightly prefer but don't want to say so since they're not done.)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Dragonball (including Kai, dat uncut voice acting )
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Hellsing
Highschool of the Dead (yes it's mostly tits and gore splashed all over the screen but I love this kind of shit, think the Piranha remake but with zombies)
Gundam 00
Akira
Most of the studio Ghibli movies
Witchblade
Code Geass


I've got more but these are the ones that come to mind right now.

And there is no damn way in hell, I am listing the one's I want to see cause that list will just go on and on and on.

Agree with everything on this post. One of my favorites is School Rumble.

Hey I'm down to start a new one. I will talk about old 90's

Instant win. The 80/90s and early 2000's were when it was at its best. It started to dwindle around then. The fact that on that list a Death Note is a must see is ridiculous.

This. There are few really good animes anymore.

Also, this is obligatory. Loved the shit out of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa2z3d46LDQ#

It's not that they're fewer good anime around now; it's that thanks to fansubs and bit-torrent there is a shit-ton more anime within easy reach. Oh and least not we forgot about that little thing called the internet. In the old days only the most popular series and movies made it to us. Which did tend to be of better quality. For 30 bucks per half hour episode it had better have been good.

I love anime, been watching since I was small. The first show I watched was space pirate captain Harlock on KIKU. Followed by uchuu senkan yamato and macross etc. Currently I've been lazy and the only series I'm following is Fairy Tail. Last week to week series I finished was Kore wa zombie desuka of the dead.

Favorite anime is ARIA series.
