... really liked Trigun back in the day, but I don't think it holds up as well today personally....

This man is of teh crack smokerz club! Trigun was and is still a great anime! The series was by far the best part but Badlands movie was really good too! Humor, storyline, characters...all amazing sir!

Finish watching magi and the magic kingdom on netflik earlier.It takes one thousand and one knights but with a twist,think japan own take on arabian knights.The show can be often really silly then get very serious beside characters being killed off.

Ya that story evolved alot differently than i expected. Thought the main character should have been more epic but it was a solid series.

What are some good 'Space Cowboy' style anime, in the same style as things like Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop?

Is Trigun like that, is it any good?

There's also Wild Arms, which is ok, nothing special compared to those 3.

It's an excellent PSone game though.

Correct, though, oddly, the only ones I've beaten are 1, 4, & Alter Code F.  I have a file of 2 that I had been working on for years, but I just can't get into that one.  I started 3 a million years ago, but never got back to it, & really haven't played 5 or XF.  I should probably do a marathon soon & play thru the rest of the games I haven't beaten.

I'm not saying Trigun is bad, but upon rewatching it recently it just didn't hold up to the memories I had.  It's still a good, solid anime, just not something I would put on the level of Cowboy Bebop for the overall quality. 

There is some anime I have rewatched recently and it just wasn't that good as I remembered, others seem to be better than I had remembered and I'm surprised I didn't like them more back then. 

Some random musings:
Slayers is still hilarious
Serial Experiment Lain is not that deep
Beserk is still an epic (albeit violent) story
The original Dragonball is funnier when you have kids watching it too.

I finished Gundam Unicorn a while back. The ending satisfied me quite a bit, but I'm afraid the new school/non-Japanese fans probably aren't going to quite get it.

Speaking of which, and since someone mentioned Gundam Breaker here a year ago, I'm playing Gundam Breaker 2 quite regularly and its a game I like quite a bit. (I put 127 hours into GB1) so PM me if you want to play.

Dude, you can't just post and then disappear. Talk to my saggy white ass, at least. Thank you.

For example, have you played Miraculum on PC-FX? I haven't, but I have been enjoying the soundtrack. See? We can talk, goddammit. :)

I haven't played it. Lately I've been playing mostly PS3 and Vita stuff, if you can believe that.

I've been big into old school Toei Douga movies lately and watched Animal Treasure Island this weekend.
