Universally reguarded, does not mean best... at all.

Exactly, personally I think Akira is crap, but those are the ones that are probably thought to be best by the most people. You know Solitanze, bigger numbers = better.

In Bleach dose Ishida ever get his powers back? (anime)

In the bount (filler) arc, he gets an accessory that emulates his powers.

 

Yes, but not in the next (arrancar) arc

 

[fanman]

Universally regarded eh? Probably Neon Genesis Evangelion or Akira.

 

I would have thought dbz... I haven't seen any of those though.

 

My favourite aside from the fillers is naruto.

Oh man I'm so close to putting £20 on a set of Trigun figures and £18 on a Eva Unit 01 on ebay...

 

*reaches for credit card*

 

argghh... must stop... spending money.

Hard isn't it?

[Blue_Ninja0]

I'd prefer another season of Full Metal Panic! personally...

 

I was really tempted to start watching FMP once. I seriously thought the series had ended way back.

 

Whats the greatest anime of all time? (Universally regarded that is)

 

I'll say Neon Genesis Evangelion. I think of NGE to anime as i think of Super Mario Bros to videogames. I'm not saying that it is the best.

[Supergrunch]

I think the general consenus is that although Akira was groudbreaking and is thus legendary, over time it has become terribly dated and there's now much better stuff out there.

I'll have to agree with that, but one I've always loved is Tenchi Muyo.

In my opinion that started the whole action, love, comedy, anime story style.

Just watched DeathNote 13

 

WHAT THE HELL!?

Err, you should spoiler that, but what's the big deal, it seem pretty reasonable to me.

I think everyone here should be anticipating Haruhi 2. >:-(

 

Never seen the original. I watched a little bit and didn't feel anything.

 

Maybe I'll watch it someday, but probably not.

It's still every bit enjoyable as before. The original manga is a great telling of the Akira story - and huge too, with each of the 6 volumes matching a phonebook in size. I mean to keep on buying those actually, but they're just so expensive.

 

 

 

[edit]

 

Wait a second.

 

When did Naruto start putting bits of the episode before the intro? That's really cool.

The beginning of the latest and last filler arc, episode 216.

Haruhi is pretty damn funny, but not mind blowingly awesome in my opinion.

 

And I was talking about the Akira anime. I've read the first 4 volumes of the manga, which are still as brilliant as they always were. They also make far more sense than the anime.

Any news about the Tales Of Symphonia anime? It's out this year right?

 

I'm so glad I got to see the end of the Naruto fillers in my lifetime.

Apparently out this year, although there's been a real lack of information and trailers all round. From that off-screen YouTube video someone uploaded it looks like it's going to be beautiful though.

 

Retelling of the story as well, which is awesome.

Excellent. Thanks 3rd.

[ShadowV7]

Yea there's a real lack of info on this though I really can't wait for this and the Eva movie to come out this year.

 

I posted a link to an off screen video somewhere in this thread and the ToS thread.Gimme a sec and i'll find it for you.

 

EDIT- Offscreen footage is here.

Well Death note fans, your in for a treat. Misa-Misa hentai has surfaced on the intranets (It was blatantly coming after reading all of the manga)

The search begins.

[The3rdChildren]

Light should have done her. He was a fool to use the Death Note in the first place, and a fool to ignore Misa like he did. FOOLFOOLFOOLFOOLDIESFOOL

 

And for those of you who haven't read the manga and feel left out by this post, that's just too bad.
