a question about animatrix & anime recommendations..

[clips]

i\'ve seen a few here mention dragonball z..it\'s tru that it\'s the same recycled plot over & over..only series i liked from it was when everybody was gettin that ass whooped by cell...other than that..each episode drags on painfully until you get to a fight scene.

it wouldn\'t be so bad if the story was fully realized in some way,..but it\'s not,..everything that goes on in it seems like filler until the next fight scene...

FLCL is Crazy insane stuff.

Basic plot:

Young teens older brother goes to play baseball. Crazy guitar-weidling chick arrives and starts trouble. Theres this weird girl who likes sex too. and it involves guitars and big robots.

its crayz. i dont even understand it. it just is too crazy!!!

thanks for the description d.h. tho i still don\'t know what flcl stands for..on another note another anime i will get..well it\'s not really anime..but it\'s drawn by japanese artists is transformers the movie..which imo was the last great transformers flick made..before all that crap with beast wars & armada...

Found Hayao Miyazaki\'s Castle in the sky very intresting.

you should try and track down a copy if you haven\'t aleady seen it.

clips- add Fist of the North Star to your list.  Not as story-rich as the others but worth a view once youu\'ve seen the rest.

Agreed. One of the best IMO (that is if you are really into cars and underdogs. That and you dont mind the old animation style and cg).

I hate to bring up old threads but I just started the Naruto series and i have to say that so far its pretty damn good. Its been a while since ive seen any decent anime and id definately suggest that you give this a look. Its a little under the Maturity of say GitS but its good.

I think you are looking for movies and its a pity that box sets cost so much. The GitS series (stand alone complex) isnt too bad either. There are so many animes that go unnoticed or people think poorly of them. Ill just list a couple oldies:

Macross Plus Volumes
Iria Volumes
Tank Police (original and New Dominion)
MD Geist is a little old but its nice and bloody

wait... sorry. Im on a series/volume mode. Metropolis is ok. I guess it depends on what you are into.

For once, i would have to agree with him^^^

small update..just purchased wicked city about a week ago....pretty decent joint...and very light on the hentai stuff...
not as good as akira imo but still a solid movie...artwork is pretty decent too...

my next purchase will probably be blood the last vampire..if i can find it...these movies that you cats listed are pretty hard to find...

Nice. Right now im caught up watching just anime tv shows. Initial D, Naruto, Bleach and Macross 7 are ones that im still watching more or less.

Clips if you like the matrix and all that sort of deep shit then i seriously recommend the Animatrix. I have it on my computer after my DVD died. If you can find it for cheap then i think you would like it.

Its difficult to reccomend Anime on the same level and content as Akira and GitS and i dont feel like listing off a crap load of titles but try out Ghost in the Shell 2. I havent seen it personally and i heard mixed reviews but if you can rent it check it out and let me know what you think.

I liked Appleseed.The only problem is that the characters dont seem very expressive.

yea nicon when i get the chance i\'ll check out gits 2...only reason why i might be skeptical about it is because in some reviews it stated that the main character (forgot her name) was barely in it. and that the main focus was on her partner..and imo i didn\'t think he is a strong enough character to hold a movie...but i\'ll check it out..

and i still want animatrix..it\'s just that i can\'t find it...

uni...appleseed? that deals with like giant robots right? i used to be in to that stuff..robotech, voltron, then i just lost interest...but the only movie i liked concerning robots was transformers the movie.

small update...finally repurchased ninja scrolls..:fro:..since of my menz never gave me back the copy i let him hold.....anyway i also picked up somethin called gantz?...has anybody seen this?....i haven\'t watched it yet, but it looked interesting....
