Anime rules, my favorite on is Naruto

[ better not include download links here, but we can continue this thread, I reckon ]

Naruto 3 for the GC is in the works... Interesting that the GC would get an exclusive game based on a major franchise...

I don't have a favourite show, but I'm not the kind to have a favourite anything. I'm more interested in games than movies (mostly because DVDs are a waste of money).

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #2 on:** September 03, 2004, 06:33:31 AM »

Doesn't Bandai have the rights to make Naruto games? And Ninty has stock in Bandai, correct? That's a likely reason if I'm right in both cases...

My favorite animes are Fullmetal Alchemist and I My Me Strawberry Eggs dress up as woman everyday

, though I do like others(Naruto being one of them)

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #3 on:** September 03, 2004, 07:03:43 AM »

Yeah, FMA is cool. As are Cowboy Bebop, Naruto and Samurai X...

Has anybody watched Samurai Champloo? New anime from the makers of Cowboy Bebop... not as good as CB yet, but it is pretty awesome.

odifiend · « **Reply #4 on:** September 03, 2004, 08:16:53 AM »

Yeah, Champloo's good but it is no bebop. For me, it is close between FMA and Naruto, for my favorite anime. I thought Scrapped Princess was pretty awesome.
Macross Zero = Best OVA EVER. Find it if you haven't seen it.
KDR, PS2 has a series (Narutomett?) and Gamecube has its own (Gen-something). Sorry about not looking up the proper names. Tomy makes the GCN Naruto games. I don't know whether Bandai factors in or not. But Naruto is huge among people of all ages and that describes Nintendo's (published) demographic, so it makes sense to develop it for the cube.

Favorite recently watched anime: Azumanga Daioh

What an awfully refreshing anime, even more after seeing countless cliché ones.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #6 on:** September 03, 2004, 09:21:00 AM »

2x2 = Shinobuden (Ninin ga Shinobuden)
BEST NINJA ANIME EVARRRRRRRRRaaaaaaa!!!!! iT'S got this round yellow ball dude that's like PAC-MAN ON CRACK!!!> friggin' HILARIOUS. New show.

See "Girls Bravo" to increase the KAWAII stats in your life.

I've been watching Initial D and Naruto, and some certain other ones with lots of tentacles. Azumanga Diaoh is also pretty funny.

I seem to be a super-fan of Trigun. And Elf Princess Raine! That show is awesome. Maybe partly because it only had a couple of episodes.

I've got some of those certain others but without tentacles and in both animated and manga format.

Anyway, my favourites now are Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto(specially the manga), and Samurai 7.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #11 on:** September 03, 2004, 02:33:19 PM »

I seem to be a super-fan of schoolgirls, catgirls, and android maids.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #12 on:** September 03, 2004, 02:37:44 PM »

Then I assume you've seen UFO Princess and Hand Maid May?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #13 on:** September 03, 2004, 02:42:17 PM »

Ugh, I hate Naruto. >_<

Fullmetal Alchemist is awesome though, as was Cowboy Bebop. SO I'll have to check out Champloo. FLCL is awesome too.

Gunslinger Girl is a favorite of mine becasue it's very artistic and the music is great. And it takes place in Italy.

Peacemake Kurogane was also cool, and the OP and ED were awesome. Onegai Teacher and Twins were both pretty good, and very cute. ^_^

But I think my favortie anime ever is Scrapped Princess (with Fullmetal Alchemist being a close runner-up)

Close.

Hand Maid May + Mahoromatic.

The Onegai series(s) were super cute. Schoolgirls sharing a bathtub rock.

odifiend · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2004, 06:48:16 PM »

Mahoromatic is Gainax greatness. Anything gainax, people should watch. Except for Ebichu- not until you have already lost all of your innocence.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #16 on:** September 03, 2004, 10:00:33 PM »

*high fives Professional 666*

Mahoro is cute. I guess the guys who drew her figured that out, too, Hikari from This Ugly And Beautiful World looks almost exactly the same with a few recolors.

Oh, and Galaxy Angel owns. Only seen a bit of season III, but it's one of the few animes with actually good humour.

I actually haven't been seeing much anime lately, last series i watched was the Hilarious and surprisingly great Excel Saga, (Which was also surprisingly cheap). Right now I'm attempting to save money through my game reviews so that i can afford to buy the Last Exile DVD's.. Because i love that show to death and I cannot possibly imagine how beautiful it will be on DVD. (I only buy official, licensed DVD's, so anime is a bit on the expensive side)

I'm not a fan of longer anime series, i haven't found a single series over 4X episodes that I didn't think was boring and stale (Kenshin, Inuyasha, DBZ, Naruto,Ranma etc.) I have yet to see full metal alchemist though i have heard great things about it. I don't watch series unless theyre completely out, cause i like watching them all in a single sitting.

Has anyone seen "Twelve Kingdoms"? That show looks really interesting to me and i'd love to see hear some opinions on it.

My favorite anime series (I know i've said this before)
Great Teacher Onizuka
Last Exile
Haibane Renmei

At home i have a list of everything i've seen, but i'm currently not at home at the moment.

CHEN · « **Reply #18 on:** September 04, 2004, 05:45:28 AM »

Some supposedly awesome new anime people recommended are: Full Metal Alchemist (as mentioned above many times), Naruto, Samurai Champloo and Ghost in the Shell: 2nd Gig. I haven't seen any of them just yet. I'm a total n00b with bittorrent

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #19 on:** September 04, 2004, 12:57:19 PM »

2x2 = Shinobuden

The new standard in ero-baka-ninja anime.

!!!PILDER ON!!!

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #20 on:** September 04, 2004, 01:11:05 PM »

KDR mentioned "This Ugly and Beautiful world (found at animesuki under its Japanese name: Kono Minikuku Mo Utsukushii Sekai)

This was a very very strange anime (very short too, only 12 episodes). The girls in it were super cute (as was one of the guys =x), but other than that it's not all that great. The first 8 or so episodes were just building on the character's relationships, and then around episode 9 the actual story kicked in.....and then it ended. Left a sour taste in my eyes and ears.

Another great anime is Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu (I think it got liscensed...). I never really got into the main Full Metal Panic serires, but this side series was very fun. Made me lol a few times, especially on the first episode.

I've heard good things about Girl's Bravo (very funny, apparently). From what I've heard, it's very similar to Green Green (which I didn't get past the first episode of). And I liken Green Green to Love Hina (which is another great and humorous series). So I guess if you like Love Hina you should check out Girl's Bravo..............maybe? Something like that.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #21 on:** September 05, 2004, 03:02:34 AM »

Girls Bravo is not like Green Green. Green Green is sicko perverted haha, while Girls Bravo is cute comedy more similar to Love Hina. But Girls Bravo's comedy feels more structured and less dependent on spontaneity than Love Hina is.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #22 on:** September 05, 2004, 11:34:42 PM »

Girls Bravo is pretty good, but so far, it is not that great as most people are cracking it to be. There's too much unnecessary fan service why is there boobs bouncing all over the place at times? ;_____;, but it gets funny at times.

I've noticed in this thread people have bad tastes in anime!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #23 on:** September 06, 2004, 12:48:38 AM »

Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy.

Girls Bravo has well done, icing-on-the-kawaii-cake fan service. I'm the fan, so give me service. Right, Daisy?

[Daisy]: Of course.

2x2 = Shinobuden has 4X the service of Girls Bravo, and infinitely more teh funny.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #24 on:** September 06, 2004, 05:16:29 AM »

*looks up 2x2 = Shinobuden at animenewsnetwork.com*

Stealing panties?
