Anime lovers come here and post your thoughts!

Currently I\'m watching the Trigun series.  I got 6 of the DVD\'s so far hehe.  I also saw the whole Cowboy Bebop series.  It was awesome.  I\'m a huge DBZ fan (obvious) and I like Sailor Moon no matter what people say.  My other fav\'s are
Tenchi, Tenchi The movie, Tenchi the movie2
Ronin Warriors
Ghost in the Shell
Armatige III(not sure how it\'s spelled)
Dragon Half
Vampire Hunter D
Amazing Nurse Nanako(sucked just had to say that)
3 x 3 Eyes
Escaflowne Vol#1 so far.  

My friend has a huge collection so I want to borrow some from him.  He also has Akira.  I\'ve never actually seen it even though I bought it for him so I guess I\'ll check it out.  I\'m also gonna borrow Serial Experiments Lain cuz he said the story is weird like Silent Hill(meaning he didn\'t get it~not scary!)

The Emporer is correct in saying ONE of the best animes ever was FotNS.  It blew my mind that cartoons could be that violent.

But, the best, hands down HAS to be Akira.  Next comes Starblazers (still remember the theme song!), then, arguably Vampire Hunter D.  It is a great one.

Really Ryu? I could have sworn that Transformers originated in America. I mean, none of the traditional Anime styles (Big Bright hair, big eyes, small facial appendages, over-exaggerated motions) were there AFAIK. Usually those are in every anime kids series, and only dropped for a more realistic look in films like Ghost in the Shell - and even then not often from what I\'ve seen.

Huh, well sorry.. my bad. So was Exo-Squad an anime too? If so, add that to my list of favorite Anime series.

If you look at Rick Hunter from Robotech and the young human boy (i dont remember his f*cking name) from transformers, the similarites are almost eerie.  It\'s almost as if the only thing that really drove a hole between US animation and Japanese animation was the giant robot stylings of Robotech and the American\'s ability to re-use frames of animation for fight scenes to demonstrate their laziness to an art form.

Exo-squad is as American as they get

cant beat the classics:

- Ghost in the Shell
- Ninja Scroll
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Akira

Street Fighter was damn good too. Kicked the crap out of the Tekken anime, thats for sure.

Teknoman rocks the house as well.

My Favorites:
Tenchi Muyo
Tenchi Universe
Tenchi in Tokyo
Tenchi the movie 1
Tenchi the movie 2
(as you can see , I\'m a Tenchi fantatic/aholic)

Dragon Ball Z

Perfect Blue

Ninja Scroll

Least Favorite:
Sailor Moon...although I don\'t really watch that show

But I\'m really starting to like Big O

... i agree with you 100%

Fist f the North Star is the best anime ever made, then comes Akira, then coems the Neon Genesis Evan Gelion series, and too bad the movie isnt out int he U.S. yet, although i have seen it , its too bad they stoped making Fist of the North Star on DVD, i have only found 1 on E bay going for 100 bucks! i really wantht his freaking movie, i was waqtchin Outlaw star when they replaced it with the Big O, im sorry to say i am ashamed of american cartoomns, why the hell cant theyhave amde anime first ? lol,

maybe im the only one but the best animes for me are:

- Laputa
- Escaflowne
- Dragon Ball Z
- Fost of the North Star
- etc....

Serial Experiments: Lain
Ghost in the Shell
Fushigi Yuugi
Nadesco
Those are my favs.

Trigun and Initial-D are good for quick fun and enjoyment.

Well i was introduced to the world of Anime last year and for some reason i can not stopwatching it and now i am even lstening to J pop Music - when will it ever stop:D

Well here are some i like:

Ninja Scroll - and the sequels were fine too
Princess Mononoke
Dragon Ball Z
Tenchi
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Aramtige III
Perfect Blue - real good mystery anime
Final Fantasy: Crystals
Kimera
Fist of the North Star
Slayers
Sailor Moon

and the list goes on and on

GITS, Akira and Fist of the North Star are all absolute rubbish, all lack a decent story.
GITS is so over rated (much like the PS2), its got good animation, but they over did it a bit, the story is up **** creek and soundtrack has only one good song.
Fist of the North Star - I don\'t know how anyone could find this anime appealing.
Akira is much the same as GITS, good animation, crap soundtrack and an awful story.
It\'s so damn long and tedious.

Escaflowne (sub), Memories, Maison Ikkoku, Here is Greenwood, Outlaw Star (sub), Evangelion, DBZ (sub), anything by CLAMP, Card Captor Sakura (sub, not the trash American version) and Wings of Honneamise are all great animes.

The best movie would have to be A Girl in Gaea, Memories of Evangelion (Death/Rebirth, End of Evangelion Air/True to my heart).

All IMO of course.
