Anime Nation

[Cold Storm]

How I got sucked in:
Princess Mononoke, Spirited away and Helsing (this was my first, I watched it when I was like 10, lost the DVDs now though ), enjoyed all of these an incredible amount.
Thing that got me started originally was Helsing, I spent a weekend watching all the episodes in the DVD boxset (it's the one with the artificial vampires ending with Arucard battling Incognito), got a huge bollocking from all my teachers the next week as I'd forgotten to do any of my homework while watching it, still worth it though
My dad also got me to watch the first episode of something called Albion I think, if someone could name what this was it'd be awesome (can't remember much of it as I watched it years ago, if you guys can post suggestions of it I'd appreciate it).
I got back into it via graphic novels, not seen anything for a while though as I've been skint (mainly thanks to the graphic novels and my library's pitiful collection).
So yeah, any suggestions what that albion thing would be I'd appreciate it, other animes that I'd enjoy are also welcome, I didn't like FLCL when I read the books though (just too weird I found, I'm willing to go for weird though)>

Let me know your two favorite and I'll add ya. Welcome man

Helsing and Princess Mononoke, although I've lost the DVD for Helsing, I guess I'll have to buy a replacement at some point to rewatch it.

Just watched Sky Crawlers last night. Good movie, tho I think they should've gone for at least a multiple OVA release instead. It leaves too much background out. Felt way too rushed.

About 6 hours total play time would be just about perfect, so either 6 1 hour OVA's, or maybe 12 30min eps and make it a series. 2 hours just wasn't enough.

Unless, of course, there is more due out, and I'm just not aware of it.

halway through the original FMA, they went away from the manga and came up with their own plot. the leadup to the movie and the contents of the movie 'never happened'


The new FMA will be very similar at first, but later on will be 'all new' content if you havent read the manga.

So they will have more series than old version of FMA?

its just going to end the same was as the manga, as opposed to making up its own story.

if you've read the manga you know how it all ends - but if you've only watched the original anime, then its all new as far as you're concerned.

Well, I thought I was going to bed... lol... I just saw on Adult Swim the Trailer for: Blood. The Last Vampire Movie. Comes out in the states July 10th... I will say, I'll be going to see it. Might be that Saturday, but strong love for the anime. Both Movie and series.

Woot!!! Need it need it need it!!!

Theres suppose to be an OVA that either continues on or ties up the series cuz the ending was so mehhhh....

still a good series and a lil under rated.


another under rated show is Phantom : Requiem for the Phantom
originally an OVA and DVD visual novel.

Anywho 2 more days till Anime Expo in Los Angeles.
various Power Rangers are one of the guest of honors

 

[kurosagi01]

whats wrong with power rangers?? its super sentai in japan haha their quite interesting to watch,i've watched kamen rider and ultraman aswell haha and damn i wish i could see all those directors and actors

 

[crazy pyro]

Spent a couple hours watching Shikabane Hime this afternoon, pretty enjoyable I have to say, you can't go wrong with Anime Ultraviolence.

 

[Mussels]

you can't go wrong with Anime Ultraviolence.

sure you can, wait til its dubbed in english.

 

[crazy pyro]

Subtitles are good. IDK if Hellsing was meant to originally be in English but I remember the dubbing being fairly good on the DVD I had of it (if it was meant to be dubbed).

 

[Mussels]

hellsing is one of the best dubbed shows. its one of the rare few where the english actually outdid the jap (but hell, its set in britain - jap accents are weird in britain)

 

[crazy pyro]

Oh right, I'm still an Anime newbie really so didn't know that. I'm torrenting the manga of Hellsing now as my library seems to dislike the idea of getting more books in and I'm properly skint so can't afford any books.

 

[kurosagi01]
