I have heard good things about Evagelion, so I started watching the t.v. series so I can work my way up to the movies
I personally didn't like NGE very much, way to much fan service in it (damn you Ganix) and the story was just meh. Then again I like Lucky Star and Sailor Moon....so what do I know =o\
If you want to watch a "Fethed up giant robot show" check out Space Runaway Ideon. It was done by Tomino who also did Gundam.
If you like a little more 'realistic' robot shows Armoured Trooper VOTMOS is also rather well done.
If you like Space Opera's,politicking, lot's of talking and Space ship battles with 150,000-200,000 ships per side set to classical music check out "Legend of the Galactic Hero's"

Thanks, I actually started Ideon. I am on episode like 5 or 6? I remember they had finally just left the colony. But I was getting a little bored of the old school graphics so I started watching other stuff lol It was ok so far, hard to tell so early on though

Yeah that is a problem with a lot of the older shows, the animation just doesn't stack up to todays work. Personally I grew up on the old stuff ( Battle of the Planets, Starblazers, Voltes V, Robotech,) so I have a love for it. I have also found that sometimes the story telling is a little better because they had less to work with. But that doesn't always hold true, there are some real stinkers out there. Some people don't like it and that is perfectly fine (I know the space afro's are a little hard to swallow in IDEON, but grind through it it does get better...actually it turns out to be a mess then Be Invoked comes along and kinda cleans everything up including some of the most epic death scenes in all of anime imho....ok not a cool as Raoh's last words in HnK, but you get the idea).
Cyber City OEDO 808 is another good short OVA to watch only 3 Data's (eps) long, the english dub is just epic for the amount of swearing in it ( the criminals actually talk like criminals) and the story isn't to bad. It's cyberpunk so if that is not your thing then well....=o\
If you like really odd and wired stuff give Serial Experiments Lain a go, interesting show but not everyones cup of tea.
I pray for the day 3 leaves development hell. A movie directed by James Cameron, Ridley Scott, and Robert Rodriguez must be forged of pure awesomeite in the heart of a dying star by cyborg sorcerer from an alternate future riding a tyrannosaur that shoots laserbeams.

Just caught episode 366 of Bleach. I think I heard somewhere that that is supposed to be the end of the anime now? Anyone able to confirm/deny that and site source?
The latest arc in the manga is going to be the last arc, but its serposed to be the same length as the first one which was everything that had Aizan. Basicly, we wont have to worry about losing bleach for a good while, at least the manga.

The original movie was good, Blood+ not so good, manga creepy, Blood C points for being by Clamp, but it's CLAMP (The Old CLAMP, not the nice, New CLAMP. If you've seen X or MKR you know how badly it goes for supporting cast members)

Blood: The last Vampire is great. Highly recomended.
I must admit I do love shows where everyone dies horribly or gets royal screwed, don't know why, maybe I am just a sicko
^^^They need to do a new kirby anime or movie. The previous was just ok. They could do a much better one I think, just as long as its not for little kids again

Eh, I just didn't dig +. C at least explained WHY it was formulaic at the end (and surprisingly, there is a reason...).

YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES.
It better be that version.
I dunno. We used to call confused fans that didn't understand that Tenchi Muyo was not a single series or continuity 'toonamis' when they would come staggering into forums declaring their confusion.

Fat Tom was at least 20% cooler than buff Tom. Toonami coming back doesnt effect me though as I have no tv service, I just watch everything online and run the feed to my tv.
So I was hopping some of you anime veterans could help me figure out what a certain show I watched a long time ago is. I saw it when I was about 5-6 back in the early 90's. I think the artwork was similar to that of the cartoon version of the hobbit and LOTR. I can not for the life of me remember the premise, just that there was some sort of war going on. I recall snow and two of the characters. One of the characters was a knight, idk if there was anything inside the armor or not. Then the other character I remember was a girl. The only scene I recall is that the knight was supposed to be bad but helped the good guys until the female character kills him by some sort of vehicle. It was decapitation I believe. Sorry I do not have more details, this has been bugging me for years and years.
