Huh, bitch? HUH?!

If you think that's something, I can get choked up just thinking about the final parts of The Iron Giant.
Yes, movies can make me cry. And I'm fucking proud of it.

I didnt care much for Escaflowne, they didnt use enough of the villian, or the supporting cast, and they had no explanation for a lot of things.Escaflowne
It's kind of a knights in armour mecha show with excellent combat scenes, particularly towards the end. It also has some really mind-blowing plot twists and really complex characters.
Score by Yoko Kanno. That there should be reason enough to see it.
It's also kind of shojo-ish, and the main character is a girl. There isn't really any nudity, but some parts can be pretty graphic when it comes to violence. But if you've got a soft spot for mushy stuff, you'll enjoy it.
Metropolis
Made in 2001. Written by Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira), directed by Rintaro (Galaxy Express 999), based on the 1940s manga by Osamu Tezuka, the God of Manga. All I can really say is that this film is amazing, and must be seen.
I prefer the original OAV series. The history is better, there is Tsuname, Washu is a more complete character, so is Ayeke. And there is the Juraian royal family. They rocks.Yes, by all means, Tenchi Muyo should have been on my list as well. I wasn't too keen on Tenchi In Tokyo as much as the others but it has its moments in the later episodes. My favourite was Tenchi Universe.
I liked The Professional: Golgo 13 as well. The follow up wasn't as good.Patrick Degan wrote:I too have gotten into Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star (hard going on that one at first, but after a while it became quite entertaining). But you really should check out CB.
So far, I've discovered three of the Mobile Suit Gundam series and all of them seem quite good. I'm really getting interested in Gundam 0083 presently.
The Professional: Golgo 13.
Vampire Hunter D.
Macross 84: Do You Remember Love ?really much better than the original TV series version and infinitely better than the Robotech bastardisation. Some very unlucky souls have seen this one only in the form of the horribly kiddified Clash Of The Bionoids.
Lensman.
The original Galaxy Express 999 movies and Arcadia Of My Youth ?all featuring ultimate hero space pirate Capt. Harlock.
Gargoyles ?the original Disney series, not the Saturday-morning abortion which followed it. The artwork is a little inconsistent in some episodes, but it has a good storyline and characters, romance, and you'll have a much better appreciation for Jonathan Frakes after hearing him voice the suave, sophisticated, and ultra-devious David Xanatos.
Star Blazers ?yes, it IS a bit dated now. Still, I have a soft-spot for this series because it was the first thing which got me seriously interested in Japanimation (which I had previously given up on in disgust after one episode of Battle Of The Planets), and the later Yamato movies are actually good-looking animation-wise. The "alternate timeline" movie Arrivederchi Yamato is a bloodier and more doom-laden version of the Comet Empire storyline from SB season two.
And, last but not least, Speed Racer ?the ORIGINAL. The most violent cartoon show a kid could love short of Johnny Quest.
Excel Saga.. 3 times at that (four if you count Excel's concience blowing away her bad side with a magnum)Mr Bean wrote: Also Yu-Yu Haksho is decent(What other show kills off the main charater in the first epsioded)
Dude, there is a difference between *ouch* crying and emotional crying. Last time I fully cried from an injury was about 5 years ago when I lost all the skin and meat from knee (you could see a good square inch and a bit of bone) in a mountain biking accident.Mr Bean wrote:DAMN :shock:God, I cried for ten minutes after first watching that.
Hmm when I got shot I sniffed for all of thirty Seconds
When I was six and maced myself(Quite a funny story but sufficet it to say I put it in my eyes and up my nose) I cried for a minute and a half
When I was 12 and broke my foot and leg in sixteen placed I cried for 30 seconds tops(Shock is your friend belive me, espcily when you get that bad of a break 1/2 mile from your house in the woods)
You're kidding? In the actual OVA continuity?? Let me know how it is. I like Muyo! but found the others rather campy.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:I'm currently downloading Tenchi Muyo! GXP (Galaxy Police Transporter), the new TV series that's set in the OVA continuity.
And they're starting to gear up for the Third OVA, to be released sometime in the next several months.
As far as I can tell, it is (I'm only up to episode 7, BTW). As you know, there are currently three main continuites (excluding the Pretty Sammy OVA and TV series):Kelly Antilles wrote:You're kidding? In the actual OVA continuity?? Let me know how it is.
