Posted June 27, 2006 Well I decided to try some of the more unusual anime today and so I had a look at Gantz. Another Anime out of the Gonzo Studio pot and I found it actually quite entertaining. Nudity and crap aside the main character's constant analysis of the people around him is actually quite funny. But right now I'd rather have Samurai champloo vol 4 than Gantz vol 2 but thats mainly because Champloo is full of more laughs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2006 Last episode next week, god DAMN it! I'm enjoying it so much and its such a short show :'(, I really really hope theres a season 2. Hell there HAS to be, the ammount of people watching it has been staggering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2006 Well I decided to try some of the more unusual anime today and so I had a look at Gantz. Now that's a weird one. Well, since Melancholy of Suzumiya is almost over, and since i won't be watching anime untill my exams end, i think i'll watch'em in Chronological Order. Then i'll watch School Rumble, Naruto, and Excel Saga or some other good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then i'll watch School Rumble, Naruto, and Excel Saga or some other good one. I got school rumble, granadier, fruits basket, chobits, samurai champloo and Mahou Sensei Negima to watch, as well as j-dramas such as gokusen and stand up!!. once i get my 500gb hdd the anime will not stop coming. i had to stop for now because i almost filled up my current hdd.

Posted June 30, 2006 Haven't watched much anime lately but I'm going to start watching Haruhi and Mai Hime (soon). Also Honey and Clover 2 starts today, can't wait for it early next week but it's a shame it's only 13 episodes long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2006 Tell me about Mai Hime, i've been hearing good things about it recently. What's it about? What genre? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2006 I've been watching Excel Saga recently. That's some funny OTT anime there. It basically spoofs alot of things, even its own manga. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excel_Saga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2006 Tell me about Mai Hime, i've been hearing good things about it recently. What's it about? What genre? Well it was once the 5th best anime according to animenfo.com, its now settled at around 15. Its originally a school drama, but from the get go nothing is quite right with the characters as you'll discover. Later into the story, the HiME's are pitted against each other and all hell breaks loose. Mai HiME is probably still my favourite anime i've ever seen and if anyone gets the opportunity to watch it they should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 1, 2006 Just a few questions Are otakus just obessed fanboys? I've just finnished the Sasuke retrival arc episodes so does that mean that i'm already on the fillers? And should i now watch the 2nd movie or watch it later? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2006 Well it was once the 5th best anime according to animenfo.com, its now settled at around 15. With Evangelion and RahXephon so low on that list, I call bullshit on the entire thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2006 Are otakus just obessed fanboys? Depends on whether you want the American meaning or the Japanese one; the American meaning just means someone who likes anime a lot, the Japanese meaning means an anime geek, so is much more negative. However, some Japanese people use it as a badge of pride, just as some people here use "geek" as a badge of pride. Anyway, the first mai-HiME DVD is out on Friday... apparently the dub is terrible; they've given Shizuru a Southern American accent. I'll buy it anyway, and watch the subs.

With Evangelion and RahXephon so low on that list, I call bullshit on the entire thing. No one should see those lists as a guidance because, this is not videogame ratings. As shino said, the most hardcore anime watchers's favourite anime is a lot of the times the most recent one they saw. So it's no surprise that the most recent animes are on the top of the lists and great past masterpieces keep getting lower and lower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
