Akira (can\'t wait for the DVD release).

Well im a Anime newbie so i\'d thought i\'d tell you what i\'ve seen in the order of which I liked best, the list is small.

Films

Perfect Blue (DVD)
Space Adventure Cobra


Series

Tenchi Universe
Batman of The Future
Dragon Ball Z


Please don\'t decide to flame me if you think something like batman of the future isn\'t a anime, remember im a newbie to the anime world.

I\'m an anime newbie too, but I\'ve been watching a few of them on the Action channel. So far, I like Ghost in the Shell, Black Magic 88, Macross Plus, Armitage III, GunSmith Cats, and Akira. You\'ll probably laugh at me, but I think Birdy the Mighty ain\'t half bad either. In fact, you might just want to check it out. It\'s director is the same guy who did Ninja Scroll, and it\'s writer is the guy who wrote Armitage III.

ghost in the shell,
the game was fun too......in a way

Like: Dragonball Z, Vampire Hunter D, Tekkeman,  Street Fighter.

Dislike: Dragoball GT (it didn\'t last long plus there wasn\'t a lot of fighting till the end of the series) Outlaw Star, Big O.

Well of course the greatest of all time is FIST OF THE NORTH STAR the movie.

But I\'m really starting to like Big O

Tenchi and DBZ are great.  Ghost in the Shell and Ninja Scroll.  Generator Gawl.

I just finished Bubblegum Crisis 2040 Tokyo and it rules.  So does Nadesico.

Did you guys know that Vampire Hunter D is being remade is planned for a theatrical release all over the United States in September?

Hmm so many,.. In no particular order I really love these;

Princess Mononoke
Akira
Fist of the North Star
Golgo 13: The Professional
Samurai X
Perfect Blue
Street Fighter II (The Japanese version)
Ninja Scroll
The Tenchi series

Ah I can go on and on.

Kodomo No Omocha
Berserk
Lupin the 3rd
Any thing from Miyazaki.
Perfect Blue
Angel Sactuary
Initial D
This is all that comes to mind right now

In theory Transformers is an anime.........

mine are:
Akira, Ghost in a shell, Dragon Ball Z,Tranzor Z, Big O (that is what it is called on Cartoon network), Vampire Hunter D, and the list goes on an on and on..........


BTW. Sonyfan.....I like your sig.......Dogma is a great movie!

Your friendly neighborhood scottyJ

favorites are Dragonball, dragonball z, and ninja scroll. akira, kenshin, and princess mononoke!!!

Well... I certainly see a lot of Vampire Hunter D in this thread... and I had never even heard about it.... I will have to see if I can rent it.. if it\'s good, then hopefully it will be released on DVD in September like Rob said!

KillaX - I\'m not sure if transformers is anime... it is animated, but.. well... er.. I guess it is.  Along that type of show though, I sure used to like astroboy/thundercats/voltron .

Thanx Killax. Ya know, there\'s supposed to another Kevin Smith(?) movie comming out this year called SilentBob&Jay Strike Back. I heard Rufus and Bethany are supposed to make a comeback, along with a bunch of other characters from other Kevin Smith movies SB&J appeared in since this is the last movie in the "aviewaskew" universe.

Back on topic, no Transformers was not an Anime. I\'ve still got a few episodes on tape from when I was a kid. (War of the DinoBots saga), and the animation style isn\'t the same at all. I don\'t know what the technical classification is, but aside from giant transforming robots, there\'s nothing in it that looks or feels japaneese in origin.

BTW: Add Saber Rider and the Star Sherriffs to my list of favorite anime series. I loved that one when I was a young, and I didn\'t even realize it was anime until just a few months ago. Tekken the movie was pretty good too. I just wish they\'d have focused more on the whole cast of characters rather than just half of them. Or they should at least make a sequel showing what happened to King, Yoshimitsu, Lee, Paul, and all the others.

yep...knew about the movie.....and there is a special edition of Dogma coming out next month!  Back to topic I saw Vampire hunter D back in 96 or 97 when cartoon network had attack of the killer vampires or something like that (they had a bunch of anime movies on).

end of line-----MCP

Quick question, if anyone has seen the SFII: V series, how are they?

Come on, I don\'t call myself Ryu for nothing.

The V series is decent in that it provides plenty of action and content for the personal SF fan, but if you are a casual anime lover, I do not recommend it.  The story is ok, but the characters are somewhat bland in my opinion and the humor is quite subtle.  SOme of the animation is reused over and over again for fight scenes and that to me is just a sign of pure laziness.  Stick with the movies and the SF: Zero animation for some of that classic Street Fighter goodness.

Transformers originates in Japan and it is an "anime" in every respect.  I don\'t refer to anime as a "stylistic" form of animation, but rather as animation from Japan.  Anime is the suffix for "Japanimation" anyways so it\'s only fitting that my definition is the best
