Just thought I'd start up a general thread about anime. Feel free to talk about what you've seen lately, or a title you would recommend to others. This is also the place to ask about anime, if you don't know anything about it. ^_^ ~~~ I just watched Angelic Layer which was 26 episodes. It is the strongest anime I've seen in a while. Good characterization, plot, pacing, growth... Everything was excellent. And it balanced the relationship/character development with the fighting/tournament. Here's a synopsis of it, which hardly does it justice, but I have to run so this is all you get right now: "Take robotic dolls controlled by their owner’s thoughts, place them in a holographic playing field and you have Angelic Layer, the runaway smash game that is taking Japan by storm! That’s what Misaki finds as she arrives in Tokyo to start high school. Instead of being greeted at the train station by her aunt, she finds herself confronted by a bizarre man in a white coat who lures her into the addictive world of Angelic Layer, a world which will change her life forever, and lead her on a quest to discover the mysterious secret behind her mother’s disappearance!" Off to watch DNAngel!

Just finished up watching FullMetal Alchemist a couple weeks ago. 51 episodes with only one really weak episode of the bunch. I don't usually watch anime but this one caught me by the arm and wouldn't let go. Only down side is that it leaves it open for a couple of possible sequels, but it ends in a way that is still satisfying.

I've tried watching Full Metal on Adult Swim before.... but it seems like there are so many episodes where nothing is happening...

There is a slight period in the series where nothing does happen but it picks up quickly. If you follow it from the beggining you'll get sucked in.

Appleseed is AWESOME! Stunning visually, great story and...well, nothing like the original really, but 2 outta 3 is good Worth every cent Yukikaze was cool, but not as cool as the first disc. a solid little series, and stunning dogfights but not a winner for everyone.

Ok, I will mention the one Anime I do like. It's old, and hasn't been on tv in years... too my knowledge anyway.
I am so high on this series, I actually bought the box set with all the episodes... it was way to expensive. But I love it.
Anyway, it's called Ronin Warriors. In a nutshell it's about 5 Samauri's who fight aganist the "Evil Dynasty" (it was in the late 80's, get over it.) Anyway, all their armor has powers based on different elements, and their enemies also have the same. It's really hard for me to get more specific than that without starting to spoil anything.
I will say this, it's high on action, and moves along at a pretty good clip. I know you can buy the box set, and they used to sell about 4 episodes on seperate DVDs. I have two of them laying around here I no longer need, but they are right smack dab in the middle of the series. However, if someone is interested enough to try the show out, I will gladly send you one... or both... if no one else is interested in seeing it... for FREE!
Yea, I said free, I have the box set, so I don't need them, and if I don't give them away I will probably throw them away soon.

I won't get rid of them THAT quickly, but I did just find them the other day, and like I said, I have no use for them, and I need to get rid of stuff I have no use for.

Just recently started watching 'Oban Star-Racers'. It's a pretty good series. I feel sorry for Molly, her father not having the guts to tell her he loves her so much, that he fears she'll die like her mother if she races.
