lol, i've been wanting to make this thread for like 8 months.

lazyness...

i wish i had kept a list of anime i've watched, it would be pretty huge cause i used to watch the shit nonstop in 2000/01, got bored with it awhile back tho for reasons i'll get into later, for now here is a small collection i amassed of my favs while i was in the navy circa 2004: 

flcl was the shizy i wish they would've done more with it than the 6ep thing...what a waste.

i've seen several vamp hunter animes but none of them ever really appealed to me, ninja scroll and akira were the first anime's i ever saw back in 96 iirc. was sorta hooked after those and they remain high in my list of favs.

man i used to be the biggest dbz head too back in 97 when i was a freshie in hs. its funny cause i half-attribute anime as the reason for me getting into computers more. me and my crew used to hangout in the japan-dbz chat on aol. trading horrible quality episodes from japan(this was when there was only 50 or so dubbed episodes that played on fox weekends, before cartoon network). we(mostly asian people) would sit around all day pretending to be anime chars, role playing and shit. my internet CLAN name was silver dragonz lol...thats what the sd in my aim name stands for(tommy 2 sd). but anywys i got way tired of that a year or 2 down the line cause dbz is a pretty retarded anime. if u compare it to edm it would be tiesto. that being said i still enjoyed the 40th anniversary special episode they had last year...took me back.

but yea my taste is sorta similar to scotts with anime, i love action and fights and wont watch an anime unless it has really good amounts of both. even a really good storyline needs some to make me appreciate it, exceptions are very rare but they do exist(serial experiments lain comes to mind). i stopped watching anime for the most part because theres not alot of good action and fight based ones. the ones that do focus on fighting are mostly series with shotty/cheap animation :( and i dont have the time to seek out the truly good ones. another reason why i stopped is i dont really care for the culture surrounding anime. otakus piss me off and are make it so nobody ever takes the genre with sincerity or seriousness lol. its like liquid with ravers but 20x worse. i think my man hideki anno(creator of evangelion) put it best when he said the otaku lifestyle is a form of forced autism. i've still got friends from hs that act no different than 12 years ago when i met them.

speaking of evangelion tho, it is my #1 fav anime of all time probably forever. hell the end of evangelion movie is one of my fav movies in general(non-anime). has anyone seen the quasi-remake they are doing of the entire series and the movies? its 3 or 4 movies but only the first part is out...covering all the way up until askua or so. i have mixed feelings about it but cant wait to see the next installment this summer/fall.


^^ this is why i was so lazy to start the anime thread. i've got alot to say lol.

i may be wrong but i think that got canc'd awhile back, its probably for the best cause they were tossing around concept ideas and it looked pretty butchered...like dragonball evolution style(but with better effects cause WETA(lord of the rings) was gonna do them).

crazy coincidence, i wasnt even looking for anime today and found out that theres a new fullmetal alchemist series called fullmetal alchemist brotherhood...definitely gonna peep that cause its a good series.

and theres this other anime that a friend of mine highly recommended to me, ergo proxy
