Favorite Anime Right Now?

[Yaris Revenge]

Has this been asked before?

Sorry, but I've been really getting into some Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann all this week, and I'm psyched about it.

Giant robots: check.
Hot chicks: check.
Token weenie kid that turns into a badass: check.
Token cutesy, too-smart pet for comic relief: check
More freakin' explosions than you've ever seen in your life: check.

When you punch someone so hard you break through the time-space continuum, you know you're the shit. :biggrin:

So, you anime fans out there, whatcha' watchin' right now?

Freedom is really good. Gurren Lagann is awesome too. I am looking forward to the fall lineup for TV.

[Yaris Revenge]

Huh. Never heard of it, so I looked it up. 3D?

(I knew you'd chime in on this one!) :wink:

this is really silly but... Yakitate Japan! sounds so stupid, it's about a kid who bakes bread, but it's incredibly funny, I had to watch the whole series three times.

[Yaris Revenge]

Yeah, when the anime bug reared its ugly head a few weeks back, I had to break out my VHS collection of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I forgot how messed up that was. I need to rent "End of Evangelion" to finish it off.

Sad, but I had to learn how to use my VCR all over again! :laugh:

I've seen a lot of "Bleach" stuff floating around on the Net, but I've yet to look it up. That and Naruto, but that just looks goofy.

GTO. Possibily the best manga/anime I've ever seen

[death is my gift]

Witch Hunter Robin and Hellsing are the only two anime I like. Although, I heart Cowboy BeBop for other reasons.

[C2AUTOSPL]

Haha wow cool thread. :thumbsup:

I've been a DBZ fan since I was little, I can probably tell you the each saga in detail, if I had to. :P

Lately, I have been watching Bleach and Naruto Shippuuden.
I love bloody fighting anime.

I like this one too, the music is amazing.

I'm reminded of it a lot because my neighbors named their cats Spike Speigel and Jet Black :laugh:

[kurokoma-kun]

I love bloody fighting anime.

Have you seen Ninja Scroll? One of the most beautiful scenes is of blood spattering on the grass :laugh::laugh:

Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny. One of the best mecha anime series I´ve seen.

I think you'd like Gundam 00. MS IGLOO is nice also since it tells the other side of the war!

Yeah, it's chara designer was Katsuhiro Otomo. It's really popular in Japan. Not sure how it's doing in America. The American release received an HD-DVD/DVD Twin disc format which is nice! The Japanese only received a regular DVD release. Though the HD version is being sold here as an import from the American market!

This show is interesting because it originally started as a commercial for Nissin Foods. More commonly known as the "Cup O Noodle" company.

that show is awesome!!

[falkor_99]

I would have to say that Flame of Recca is by far my favorite anime series. Really really good. You guys should check it out. Then of course i really like all the street fighter series and fatal fury.....:biggrin:

[jetaimejsc]

Claymore!, this anime is awesome, too bad its over, for right now, Gundam Wing, and Bleach!!

[Rain]

Bleach
I'm still waiting for the English Dubs.. I couldn't stand the subs. lol.
However, I watched the subs for Memories of Nobody

YuYu Hakusho!!!

WHOOOO
i finished this series last month.. the whole 112 episodes plus some OVA or whatever that is called. somehow, it manages to make me cry! :iono:

this is really silly but... Yakitate Japan! sounds so stupid, it's about a kid who bakes bread, but it's incredibly funny, I had to watch the whole series three times.
This one is pretty cool.. my cousin made me watch this series and i just loved the kid's ingenuity.

Another series that I recently finished is Fruits Basket. It's pretty good too but it was only 26 episodes.

I am waiting for the next season of Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu. I love the songs :biggrin:

Hmm.. what else? When it comes to manga, I would say DNAngel & Bleach

[la panique]

I could never really get into it, with the exception of some.
Anyone ever seen Voices of a Distant Star?

[Kioshi]

Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny. One of the best mecha anime series I´ve seen.

You got good taste!

Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed: Destiny, and Full Metal Alchemist..stopped watching after those ended~

Oh, not a favorite but found it funny and weird, ebichu.

[Caldwell]

I was really enjoying Claymore until the last couple of episodes... kinda disappointing, but it was still a great anime. Here's hoping for season 2!

Is it good? I saw something by the same director once, a short about a girl and her cat...

[WRBlue]

I like this one too, the music is amazing.

If you liked it, you'll probally like come other things Yoko Kanno composed for:
The Vision of Escaflowne (fave anime of all time)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Rhaxepheon
Honey and Clover (never seen this one)

Stuff I'm watching right now:
Bleach, Claymore (just started a few weeks ago, watched ep 11 last night), occsional new Naruto, but I'm 12 weeks behind in that. Gatchaman - I've been watching it for a couple years, on ep ~80, its hard to watch sometimes cause its so repetative lol, but its good to watch.

The only Manga I'm reading is Naruto.

But my favorite Anime right now would be Escaflowne. Pacing is awesome, plot is good, VA is good. Back in 2000 when I first watched it, I watched the entire series in 4 weekdays after work... Eva and Bebop are close seconds. And there is a large number in 3rd place lol

[brickhardmeat]

Nerd. :wink:

TOTALLY

[kurokoma-kun]

TOTALLY

Say it LOUD!
I'm a nerd and I'm PROUD!
<uh huh>

[kurokoma-kun]

The Vision of Escaflowne (fave anime of all time)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Rhaxepheon
Honey and Clover (never seen this one)


Yeah GITS is one of my all time faves.

I've never seen Escaflowne! But if Sunrise Animation produced it too (they did Bebop, Witch Hunter, Gundam series, Yakitate, Planetes, tons of others) we might ALL like it!

Robot Romance Trilogy - created by saburo hatte

[Yarice]

Just started on Intial D, loving it.

[Spades]

I just finished Fate/Stay Night...it was decent but the ending was too sad for my taste...

[Rain]

I'm still waiting for the second season of Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu!

[Malaya1221]

another all time fave! YU YU HAKUSHO!
