Ive recently been looking at more anime DVDs as well. Looking to increase my collection, but have no idea where to start. Thanks for your post sothis, it will make my choices easier.

i have a few questions though

Is Neon Genensis Evangelion a series, or a movie, or both?

Is Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust anygood, or should i get the original?

I loved Ninja Scroll. Is there anything else you can suggest along those lines?

Thanks

is there a goood website somewhere similar to IMOB or blockbuster but for anime so I can read up on some new releases and get some more info?

trancewave:

there is a GREAT site, http://www.animenfo.com , which lists information on anime series. Sometimes the translations of the summary are a bit odd sounding (done by someone who isnt a native english speaker) but its GREAT for information on series, movies, etc. for new releases, check http://www.envirosphere.com . on my site, http://www.animeplanet.d2g.com, people post the triggers/irc channels for new eps so its a little more helpful than envirosphere on that aspect, but definitely not everything gets posted in my forum like it does on envirosphere

sarcoman: ive never seen ninja scroll so i cant give advice on that one. but berserk is a great swords type anime (really violent too). kenshin is another swordsman type

i havent seen the second VHD movie but the first one i thought was really boring (didnt even finish it).. its really old style animation.

as far as eva goes:

eva is a tv series, 26 episodes. 25 and 26 is the original tv ending (which SUCKS ASS). the fans got really mad at this so the creator made an alternate ending, titled "end of evangelion" (a movie). it is far more gory and upsetting... rumor has it he made this to piss everyone off because they complained

there is only one other eva movie, "Death and rebirth".. this is NOT worth getting, as all it is, the first half is a recap of the series, and the second half, is the first half of end of eva. so, dont get it. watch 1-26, then download end of eva, and watch it for an alternate ending.

thx again.

AHAHahha, this is one of the funniest series' ever invented (along with gto)

I highly recommend it.

what the fack is anime? Is it animation or something? cause i always thought it was for ages 5-10

it's japanese animation..

and its not for ages 5-10, they have some pretty mature shows. and im talking violence, nudity, language, etc

dont be fooled because it's animated.

I have seen the new Vampire Hunter D, its pretty good. Its up there with the great anime films ie Ghost in the shell, Princess Mononoke etc. I have never seen the original Vampire Hunter D made in the '80s. A mate has though and he said the new one is heaps better than the original.

Hi there...
I recommend .hack//SIGN ! It's a very good Anime about an online RPG.

Maybe Love Hina for those who like Ranma.. but it's not with fighting and stuff. Just a love-comedy.But very cool.

Then Dragonball Z I think if you saw just that Anime, and then others, DBZ isn't the best any longer... but however... I don't like it, since I saw other Anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion or M.D. Geist ... some Anime have shitty story, but contain lots of Blood ^^ These Animes (e.x. M.D.Geist) are for the schizophrenic people... eheheh

Another Anime genre is Hentai... it's anime, but a porno
btw: Hentai is japanese and means "perverse"

... now enjoy Anime !

(AND DON'T FORGET TO WATCH ANIME ONLY WITH JAPANESE SYNCRO)

I'm an excel saga addict

When I first saw it, I had the word "Akurossu" looping in my mind for all over the week


Akurosu all the way!

hack sign is so incredibly boring

i had high hopes for it in teh first few episodes... then every single episode is exactly the same.

look for tsukasa. talk about him for awhile. find him, talk briefly, he vanishes. talk some more. repeat. repeat. repeat.

such a good idea but SO BORING

Anyone seen Onegai Teacher? A few people recommended it to me. I'm not sure if I want to get it or not.

I have to agree with most of the stuff Sothis suggested. Juuni Kokki is too good. Go watch it now. Witch Hunter Robin I found boring at first but it really grew on me. RahXephon is an Evangelion clone but I still liked it.

Other anime I liked:
Trigun
Kenshin
Berserk
Nadesico
Record of the Loddoss War
Excel Saga

There's a lot more but thats all I can remember off the top of my head.
