Posted March 3, 2006 I bought the first dvd, but I didn't like it enough to buy the rest. I just wasn't feeling the insane randomness. Yea i dnt like random insane stuff either. Take FLCL for example i hated it cos it was so random but most other people loved it and it was one of their favourites Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2006 I am up to episode 13 of excel(working my way through the imperfect collection) and the fact that each episode has a different feel to it makes me love it. Episode 11 was the best-piss take of a youth anime/high scholl with hard knocks sort of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2006 Hmmm just wondering, is Excel Saga the anime where they kinda take the piss out of the fact that it's nothing like the manga or something along them lines.... I remember watching a couple of eps a while back and it was pretty crazy/funny..... I never finished watching though for some reason. :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 6, 2006 You guys who haven't seen it HAVE to watch Samurai Champloo - I'm on Ep 18 and it's been mesmirising; the first Anime to have a "magical" feeling on me like playing Zelda OOT for the first time or something. It absolutely shit-kicks Naruto and Bleach IMO, I can't believe I hadn't noticed it earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 9, 2006 To any fans of Skies of Arcadia and Final Fantasy (well more SoA seeing as the FF part comes from really small segments like errmmm the fact that someone looks exactly like Cid =P) you should really watch Erementar Gerad.... Oh and Fans of Mai Otome's/Hime's music will like it as well as in episode 4 a battle took place and suddenly I noticed omg the music is done by the same person. lol You know the really epic song with women singing..... Ermm you should know........ Well it was exactly like that... I checked who did the music and yeah Yuki Kajiura did all 3 of the series... ^^;; So yeah people should watch it. lol EDIT: Scrap that, pretty much every song in Erementar could easilly be in Mai.......... I just listened to Hime's ost and I could swear the songs are identicle in Hime and Erementar. o.O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 9, 2006 Super sweet DVD collection up there. I love the RahXephon DVD box artwork. I don't really own that many super cool anime items, but here are a couple of my favourite anime posessions. The Japanese Neon Genesis Evangelion Renewal DVD box, released as a limited edition and out of print. It's also somewhat noteworthy to mention that customs totally raped me with this one. It's the most inconvenient DVD boxed set design ever conceived but it wins on cool factor alone. Beside it are the original region 2 Japanese movie releases with a beautiful cover illustration by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. The biggest Rei Ayanami statue I could obtain without going into the thousands for a lifesize one. It has a bizarre colour variation between the head and neck (separate pieces) that I really should get around to amending sometime. Also you might notice a few nicks and chips on it that mysteriously appeared one day (scary story). Beside it is a bag of loose figurines from various franchises (Bucky o' Hare, Asterix, Resident Evil 1 and 2) and my 1:1 lifesize Gremlins 2 statue. Another favourite useless thing are my Trigun sunglasses which I can sadly never wear (I have regular glasses, and people would beat me up) and aren't being pictured. I've posted a picture of me wearing those before and someone from the forums sent me a fucking nail bomb in the post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't got my digital cam, borrowed it to a mate who went to the arsenal game yesterday. @The3rdchildren: What is so inconvenient about the NGE Renewal box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 9, 2006 Yah Sephiroth and Cloud were £70 each....... The High Wind was a birthday present from my girlfriend... It cost £60 I think... :-/ Them 3 alone prob cost 3 times the amount of the rest of my stuff. XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 9, 2006 What is so inconvenient about the NGE Renewal box? It's just a huge campaign to open the damned thing, select a disc through trial and error because they have no episode names on them (stupid Japanese), and then finally have to put it all back again. Conventional boxes are so much better. Plus the jewel holders the discs come in are held together very flimsily. It's a typical cheapo GAiNAX move. The entire box reeks of their "maximum in, minimum out" policy. Not to say it doesn't LOOK fantastic and unique, it does. It's just that the individual DVD releases have such nicer artwork, so nice in fact I may just consider investing in the ADV renewal releases sometime soon.

Posted March 14, 2006 v.v;; "Believe it!" v.v;; *walks away ashamed* I think it's funny, I mean - he is just a kid after all, and kids say these things. Not only that but his own teammates make fun of it, proving that the dubbers themselves know the hilarity of it. Sure we'd prefer them to remain a little more sensible from time to time - but that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend that the Japanese which I can't understand at all sounds any better, or spend the whole time reading subtitles and missing the action. This is just IMO, and I know it's controversial for the 'hard-core' fans - but that's just me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
