Cold Storm · Dec 17, 2008

The only Anime to live action that I've ever saw as me wanting to see again was Death Note. But, that wasn't to English, it was Japanese first.
As for Piccolo. He is the Evil of Piccolo Daimao, who is the "Piccolo" for the movie. If you know anything of the Drangball lore, you will know that Piccolo fled from Namek and came to earth. When the Kami of Earth, saw that he had evil in his heart, he unfused Piccolo and sealed the evil. Then when the era of Dragonball, The primiss of this movie (not DBZ), he comes out from the seal and tries to kill Son Goku. When he is on his dying breath, he makes the form, Piccolo Jr, and there becomes the Piccolo of DBZ era..
Just know, there is a era of DB before there was ever a DBZ era. And, this trailer shows that it is trying to evolve both the era's into one... Something that should NEVER of been thought of...

theJesus · Dec 19, 2008

I want to watch some new anime. Give me suggestions based on the following post, plzkthxbai:

theJesus said:
I got into anime originally with the stuff like DBZ and Pokemon, and then everything that came on toonami and adult swim for a while before looking elsewhere for anime.

Favorite movies: Akira, Ninja Scroll, Voices of a Distant Star
Favorite shows: Elfen Lied, Noir, DBZ (cell saga and earlier), Crest/Banner of the Stars, Gundam: 08th MS Team, and probably some others I'm forgetting . . .

I've watched and enjoyed a lot more than just those, but I didn't want to just list them all as being my "favorites"

btw, even if it doesn't seem like something I'd like, suggest it anyways; you never know.

EDIT: I really want horror and psychological stuff.

Binge · Dec 19, 2008

Should have posted this here~

Just glanced at part of the youtube link, seems interesting enough; I'll watch it later.

I'd definitely take a look at Kara no Kyoukai. Perhaps Shikabane Hime: Aka. Also Chaos;Head, Ga-Rei Zero, Baccano, heard good things about Higurashi but haven't gotten around to watching it myself yet.

theJesus · Dec 20, 2008

Thanks, someone else recommended Higurashi as well, so I'm for sure checking that out.

I'm looking into the others as well.

Binge · Dec 20, 2008

Ones I recently checked out:

-Monster
-Ergo Proxy
-Skullman
-Serial Experiments Lain (for the 2nd time

)

All amazing~ BTW: Did you check out We are the Strange yet?

ShadowFold · Dec 20, 2008

I like anime but I don't watch much of it. I LOVED Death Note. Best show that I have ever seen. I also watch Bleach.

Cold Storm · Dec 20, 2008

If you liked Ergo, then you'd like Gilgamash. I really got into how dark and twisted it was.

Shadow, you don't have to be a die hard anime person to like it. :toast:

Just let me know the two series or movies you liked, and I'll throw you on the first. You never know what kind of stuff you can find from us!

Binge. I looked at it. But, for some strange reason Youtube is acting up on me. Gotta throw in a virus scan extra in the mix for the next few days..

ShadowFold · Dec 20, 2008

The only stuff I have watched is Death Note, Bleach, Lucky Star and some vampire one.. I forgot the name. It was on Adult Swim awile ago.

Cold Storm · Dec 20, 2008

Trinity Blood. If that's the case, Really look into Hellsing. It was a great anime, and the remake of it is just out of this world. I think you'd really like it.

ShadowFold · Dec 20, 2008

Yes it was Trinity. I will check out Hellsing :toast:

Cold Storm · Dec 20, 2008

Here are a few others that I've saw when I've looked threw my collection. Vampire Knight and you may like Claymore. I think Claymore will be more to your liking, while Vampire Knight is more of a teen style over the top stuff..

NeoCrisis · Dec 20, 2008

Damn its been a while since ive checked up on this thread 29 pgs damn! Anywho

Vampire Knight is a Shoujo anime thats geared more twards teenage girls. I was looking forward to the series but it just couldnt keep my attention.

The 4th movie of Kara no Kyoukai "Garden of Sinners" was just subbed. Shiki is freaking Awsome. Shes probably my most Fav "strong female lead" character.

So whats everyone watching now?

theJesus · Dec 20, 2008

Thanks for all the suggestions everybody, whether specifically directed toward me or not. I'll be looking into as many of them as I can over the next couple weeks.

-Monster is one that I'm getting already.
-Ergo Proxy, I've heard lots about and mean to check out some time in the near future.
-Skullman, haven't heard of, but I will look into.
-Serial Experiments: Lain is one of my favorites and I'm in the middle of watching it again with my gf (even though we stopped half-way through almost 6 months ago when my board and gpu died, and then couldn't access my storage array on her board).

EDIT: I haven't watched We are the Strange yet, cuz I don't feel like watching it on youtube (I hate letting it buffer). It does look interesting though.

Ergo is definitely worth a watch. There is an HD verion on Boxtorrents.

In fact, both Binge and Cold Storm named a bunch of must sees.

I'll add one to throw on that list as well, Texhnolyze. In fact, it should probably be near the top of your must see list if you like psychological stuff

-5 Centimeters Per Second
-Alexander Senki, Reign the Conqueror (watch again)
-Amaenaideyo
-Angel Sanctuary
-Armitage (seen first movie, but want to watch the rest)
-Barefoot Gen 2
-Beyond the Clouds . . . The Promised Place
-Candidate for Goddess (can't remember if I've seen it or not)
-Clannad
-Cowboy Bebop (re-watch series, watch movie for first time)
-Crest/Banner of the Stars (re-watch Crest, watch Banner for the first time)
-Dark Cat
-Ergo Proxy (just added)
-Escaflowne
-Fate Stay Night
-Galerians RION
-Gatekeepers (and Gatekeepers 21) (saw a few eps a while ago)
-Gedo Senki, Tales from Earthsea
-Gundam 00
-Gundress
-Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
-Interlude
-Kara no Kyoukai (want to see all the movies currently subbed)

With the plummeting prices of hard drives these days, there's no need to delete anything, EVER. lol.

And going by this list, the first thing on your list to watch should be Crest/Banner. Fucking Epic! lol.

theJesus · Dec 20, 2008

lol I know, I should just snag a new drive, but I'm broke and have no job and am running out of space quick.

Trinity blood was hella chill. Hellsing was hella hella chill

How about Fate Stay Night guys?

WC Annihilus · Dec 20, 2008

FSN = gewd tiemz. One of my favs

kyle2020 · Dec 20, 2008

Dragon Ball Z was epic, sat and went through pretty much every episode over a month span, absolutely loved it.

Besides that I watched a short clip of Ghost In The Shell, that looked good, I was addicted to Zoids too. I found a Devil May Cry series as well, that was fantastic.

theJesus · Dec 20, 2008

Holy crap, I forgot about Zoids! I can't remember what the two series were called, but the one about the war going was way better than the one with just the tournaments. I used to always watch the one with the war in the morning before school, then come home and watch the other one after school.

Not meant as an insult, kinda just a funny coincidence, but here it goes: Everything you listed, short of GITS, I find to be complete crap. lol.
