The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime

[Gypsy]

Discotek put out Boys over Flowers and Marmalade Boy so there hope for Kimagure Orange Road at least. Both of those have more episodes than Kimagure.

I would agree with a lot of what you are saying Clod. We want English subs but that isn't the hope for most random people that might buy it. Anime sales are generally very low so there isn't a ton of some stuff out there.

There is a nice sale right now on Boys Over Flowers right now on Amazon btw.

Can anyone confirm if the most recent Ghost in the Shell blue ray release (steel book) has the original opening or the crappy CGI opening?

The original animated movie. Not that love action one.

[ClodBuster]

Mhmmm

Love action.

f*ck yeah.

I've been watching Hana Yori Dango.

Is it good? Idk, but I can't stop watching it. It's so absurd from the overly dramatic music to the barren backgrounds at the school. The animation and sound are pretty poor overall unfortunately. It's not a product of the era either because there was stuff in the late 90s that was very well animated. I don't even know with the audio. It's so muffled on the Japanese track at times. The characters make a lot of dumb decisions but hey that makes them human right? I think I can see how it's going to end but it's going to be a wild soap opera ride to get there I'm sure.

For that price I hope it'll play on my Neo Geo.

Just finished Devilman Crybaby. Brutal. Tits and gore. Enough said.

Groovy. That's on Netflix, isn't it?

Yep, that it is. My few complaints is its too short, they crammed a ton of stuff in 10 eps and took a lot out. Ryo's Engrish in the subbed version is pretty bad. Other than that, I say its better than new Berserk series. Not sure how they will continue the series though unless they put in Devilman Lady or Violence Jack in the mix.

Is that also available in broken down sets? I ask because even in Japan they usually break $800 sets in half.

Also, that dumb outer box...why are they still making massive dumb boxes in f*cked up shapes nobody can store? Didn’t we learn anything from The Eye of Folger or The Matrix?

[Gypsy]

No. Only that dumb behemoth set. They said they don't plan to release a fragmented/set version either. Annoying.

Agree on the packaging. I have too many obnoxious anime sets already.
