Well, to a certain extent. Having that slight vibe can be a good thing, seeing as Cowboy Bebop is awesome (duh..). I'm not trying to take anything away from it, but I feel the DMC anime took it a bit too far. The similarities, I felt, seemed to be a bit too uncanny. Like a mirror image of Cowboy Bebop, but with the DMC characters.

I dunno, I guess I had my expectations of it a bit too high, and was a tad dissapointed...

That show is vastly underappreciated. One of these days I'll get off my ass and read the novels.

Rahxephon did look interesting, but I haven't seen it.

Slayers is funny, I just didn't feel like sitting through, what, 75 episodes of it? Maybe someday.

Steamboy wasn't that good. It was okay... I don't know what all the hype was about, though. Didn't really like the tie-in at the end. Maybe I was just let down because I expected something better.

I watched most of Wolf's Rain, like 20 episodes, but it still didn't make any sense at all, and I still didn't care. What the hell was that show even about?

Azumanga Daioh doesn't really have a plot, it's just the hilarious interactions of some weird characters. ...well, for being adapted from a bunch of 4-panel comic strips, it has a pretty good plot, but still.

Dragonball is cool. Also, Legend of Black Heaven.

I mean it, Gad Guard, dont make me fuckin repeat myself.

That's because we know our anime. Go watch some subs. Best shounen series ever after Captain Tsubasa (although the beginning is a bit slow; it really picks up during the Sanctuary saga).

For the record, I hate Azumanga Daioh almost as much as I hate Lucky Star and Death Note. But I second The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Escaflowne and FLCL.

Naw, see it ain't even about that. Here's the mother-fuckin' deal right here --

CARDCAPTOR SAKURA.

No playin' fo real, blood. That is what it motherfucking comes down to.

CARDCAPTOR SAKURA.

I mean you know, play around with those, test things out, see what's what.

Then, when you're done fucking around --

CARDCAPTOR SAKURA.

Watch Kaiji.

I hate DN more then those, and I hate LS a lot. I hate LS as much as I love Gad Guard, so I really hate DN. AD I only watched 3 minutes of.

I'd third (or fourth?) Cowboy Bepop. I could argue that it is the greatest of its kind. I mean come on.

I'd also third FLCL. Six episodes of distilled awsome.

And yet again, CARDCAPTOR SAKURA.

On another note, go see Kino's Journey. I still have to go see it (Seen several episodes.). Hell the English dub isn't too bad. (That says a lot.)

Lastly, I'd suggest Chrono Crusade. Watch the first few episodes and see if you like it. If you do, continue, and if not stop then and there. It can really bog down. Though it has it's moments.

Ryong · 03-07-2008, 05:36 PM

Actually I'd like to change my suggestions:

Anything but Captain Tsubasa and Patlabor. Both try their genres too hard and become either boring or too over the top. ( I have no idea what's the translation used, but in the Brazilian dub the "chute canh�o" ( Cannon Kick ) and any episodes revolving around it are just plain awful. It's a kick that even if the goalkeeper gets the ball it will keep spinning in his hands. )

Cardcaptor Sakura is awesome and everyone should watch it.

The Road to 2002 series at least tries to keep it short, which helps a lot. Besides, if I wanted to watch real football in which the ball enters the goal every sixty minutes and nobody could make shots from one side of the field to the other I would turn on Directv and watch La Liga or something.

Expecting realism in anime is a bit oxymoronic, to be fair.
