That's what PM's are for.


I just finished watching the first 3 parts of Gundam unicorn. Not bad, not truly amazing or revolutionary but interesting. I really like the look of the Animated MSN-06S Sinanju. I got the MG kit and its a work of art imho.

I also re-watched about 10 episodes of Gunslinger Girl. I really forgot how good this show is. The opening song makes we want to cry everytime I hear it.

Spoiler:
I thought Claes had it bad I totally forgot about Angelica and her problem. poor poor Marco. Same with Elsa =o[






Have I mentioned that I love the youtube tags. =o]

Good series, I'll probably watch the movie when I'm done with all 52 episodes.

Finally! You have to watch both though, because they are both amazing in their own distinct way. I watched FMA then watched FMA brotherhood in that order, and am glad I did. The ending to Brotherhood is so satisfying and way better. Though don't get me wrong they are both practically equally amazing in every other aspect, I think at least. I still refuse to pick a favorite

I think it's better to watch the original FMA before you watch Brotherhood. There's a ton of filler in the original that fleshes out, aka makes stuff up, to fill in gaps from the manga but it's so well done you do t know it's filler.

Then you watch Brotherhood and like, the first eight episodes cover the first season of the original. The story seems to move so much faster because all that filler is gone. There's another story shock reason to watch Brotherhood second that's more just personal amusement, but I can't elaborate without ruining it.

Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) is one of my favorite shows of all time. Did you watch the original anime, the 1986 move or one of the new Gaidens (side storys)?


Two best theme songs ever =o] I like the second one personally

Was in Best Buy today and figured I'd check out their anime section while I was there. Man has that gotten depressing. Used to have a decent amount. But this time they had less than a dozen titles. I did however find Tales Of Earthsea, a Myazaki film I'd not heard of before so I grabbed that. Based on a book series I've not read, but seen a SciFi movie based on another book from the series. If you like Myazaki's other stuff then you'd like this as well.

Aduro, Miyazaki loves Ursula K. Le Guinn novels.

She wrote Earth Sea, which Miyazaki decided to make a film, she also wrote Lathe of Heaven. But Miyazaki adores her work.,

Given I liked both the different Earthsea movies I've seen, and books are generally better than the movies , I should probably heck this series out.

The story largely escapes me, or doesnt seem well explained or resolved, and I wonder how much of that has to do with it being part of a book series or if I missed something.

However the characters and their interactions/brief development is well done, and the character and set designs a d animation is Myiazaki's usual top notch.

In the end I rather liked it and it was a joy to watch even if the plot seemed to suddenly change mid way thru the movie, and as I mentioned it makes me want to read the books.

I recently finished Madoka. It was great. The plot was interesting and I love how they turned Magical Girls on their head essentially.

Just replying to darkcloud92 and FabricatorGeneralMike:

I had found the Samurai Jack ending to be a bit of a let down but it was still mean as to watch the fighting scenes, he had his scottish highlander mate with him too.

I had watched the orginal Fist of the north star with english subtitles.

I would also like to add that I had just recently watched the Ghost in the Shell movie.
A mate of mine is trying to get me into the Anime genre of movies by giving me all the ones that he has.

the 3 that I have mentioned are the ones that I have actually got around to watching

By "on" their head, did you mean "off" ?

I'm quite fond of the OST personally.
