I'm not this huge Anime dork but...[views:6337][posts:29]______________________________ [Jan 9,2006 12:26pm - wade ""] finally bought the Vampire Hunter D DVD (1985). LOVE this fuckin flick. It just seems so hit or miss with these movies. Outside of Demon City Shinjuku, Wicked City, Akira, etc...I have no clue what's decent? suggestions? |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 12:32pm - anonymous ""] wicked city is interesting some anime sex in it with demons and the what not. AKIRA is stunning just fucking fantastic |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 12:33pm - the_reverend ""] akira is the 2001 of anime |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 12:42pm - dftg up your butt ""] The majority of anime is some gay-ass bullshit, but there are a few gems. check out princess mononoke. one of my favorites is Fist of the North Star. It's like watching an animated Mortician song or something. the plot is pretty much inconsequential, it'sjust an excuse to show off all the hilarious, non-stop, ridiculous violence. |

Metropolis was okay...but I really dig the more primitive look of Vampire Hunter D. Oh yeah, Ninja Scroll is pretty rad, too. |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 1:11pm - Midgetstealer ""] Ninja scroll, in my opinion is as good or better than vampire hunter d...there is a crazy fucked up rape scene in it too. |

Like Naussica, I know I've seen but i can't even recall a character. Lazy Roundeye syndrome I guess. [img] |

| ______________________________ [Jan 9,2006 7:33pm - moran ""] Vampire Hunter D is one of my favorites. The second one, Blood Lust, was pretty good too. Berserk is really good if you're into the V.H.D. style animation, awesome story too. The bad thing, though, is that the second half of the story was only done through manga. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 11:01pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I collect anime and have a ton of it, but I'm not as fond of the original Vampire Hunter D as the Bloodlust sequel. The dialogue was terrible in the original, especially in English. Ironically, the sequel was originally tracked in English! and later translated for Japanese release. |

| __________________________________________ [Jan 10,2006 1:03am - BestialOnslaught ""] I know very little about this stuff as well... But 2 series I have enjoyed are the Doomed Megapolis miniseries and Berserk. I've seen some Berserk dubbed officially, some unofficial with subtitles, and the subtitled version was better, but I don't know where to come across that... Whilst the dubbed version is quite widely distributed. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 10,2006 1:46am - tomx nli ""] im not too huge into anime, but i do love Cowboy Bebop. Samurai Champloo is pretty sick too. theres this site that sells import dvds for way cheap, alot better than Newbury Comics. www.kcdvd.com. i picked up battle angel there for 9 bucks and the cowboy bebop full series for 20. |

Whilst the dubbed version is quite widely distributed. Berserk is pretty fun, the one flaw with it was that they skipped a huge portion of the manga that it was based on, which is why you had those rather sudden and semi-inexplicable ending episodes (you knew SOMETHING bizarre was going to happen, but when it does it's a bit random). |

| ______________________________ [Jan 10,2006 6:22am - nick ""] i think anime is lame but the vampire hunter d movies are awesome. akira too, obviously. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jan 10,2006 10:38am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] There are thousands of anime, many genres, many themes. I'm sure there are plenty you would enjoy, especially if you are a fan of Akira and Vampire Hunter D. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 10,2006 11:11am - Moran NLI ""] nick said:i think anime is lame but the vampire hunter d movies are awesome. akira too, obviously. I used to feel the same way until I watched those two. Theres lots of good stuff out there if you liked those. Blood, X, Ninja Scroll, Berserk, Samurai X are all good ones to start off with. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 10,2006 11:45am - DrewBlood ""] Check out 'Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade'. Watch it on a rainy night and it will make you want to slit your wrists. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 10,2006 11:57am - anonymous ""] ghost in the shell...all series and movies are amazing. if you dont watch those... you are certified gay. i also follow Naruto. you people might not like it, but it has a lot of heart and is pretty deep most of the time. some of the fight scenes are boner-popping awesome. cowboy bebop is awesome. X the series is awesome. Trinity blood is a bad ass new series about a this type of vampire that only feeds on Vampires. and he works for the vatican... on a huge ass holy spaceship. but yeah... its pretty bad ass. i watch Initial D as well. nothing like watching people haul ass down the mountain pass roads in Japan. Berserk is intense. century slayer. enough said. Spriggan was fun |

AKIRA is stunning just fucking fantastic I just wanted to say that I agree about Akira being a really awesome movie. the soundtrack for it is great as well. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jan 10,2006 1:40pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I'm actually not that fond of the Akira film, again because it missed so much of what made the manga great and had severe plot problems. Visually and audio-wise it was great though. |
