By good old Akira do you mean the old one with the crappy dub or the DVD version all nice and what not.

Quote from: "Crosses"His & Her Circumstances how long is that series?

5 DVD's in North America, and available as a box set or with each volume sold individually. There are even some Volume 1's left that come with a collector box for those who were serious enough about the series to collect each volume individually and compile the box set by themselves.

Quote from: "Crosses"whats "Ebichu"? when you mean sick as in violent? with blood etc..or like man thats wrong and stuff..

Ebichu came from the demented studio that produced FLCL and Evangelion. It has soooooooo many, shall we say, lewd/vulgar/unrefined/just-plain-wrong sexual jokes and what not. Hell, this series almost got cancelled from JAPANESE TV!!! That should give you some kind of indication as to what I mean...

Wasn't the first time Gainax got in trouble for pushing the envelope.

One time, an episode of Evangelion was so messed up, that the network that carried it threatened to can it. But instead one of the show's sponsors (which happened to be video game giant SEGA in its' better days) just decided to temporarily cut off their funding, so some episodes of Eva are crappier-looking than others simply for lack of money.

And speaking of Gainax being po'...some later episodes of "Kare Kano" have some reduced production values because at the time, the studio and some of their staffers were in trouble with Japanese tax revenue authorities.

Well, you know your avatar is from Hellsing, right?

Tama · February 13, 2004, 01:10:21 PM

I had wondered about the quality of Kare Kano. It was so cheaply done! Almost like they made it look cheap on purpose because it was going to look bad anyway? The last couple of episodes are in Manga format! >.<

It makes sense that Gainax was having money problems.

SuperKawaiiNeko · February 14, 2004, 06:56:02 PM

The worst looking anime Ive ever seen would probably have to be Magic Knight Rayearth.

The manga is beautiful, and the story is good, but the anime art and animation look like crap.

KimaLucifer · February 14, 2004, 07:20:43 PM

HEY HEY This isin't the thread to talk about the anime you didn't like. It's the Anime you'd encourage someone to go see :O

SuperKawaiiNeko · February 14, 2004, 08:04:44 PM

Fair enough.

Scrapped Princess. Anything by Miyazaki-sensei. La Blue Girl XD

Quote from: "platinum edge"Some fairly recent ones that I've watched/am watching are:

Tsukihime (Moon Princess): A short 12 ep anime. Action/Drama

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (The Eternity You Wish For): Another short anime series (14 eps.). I thought it was well done. Very dramatic, but well done.

Full Metal Alchemist: Pretty intersting. Action/Drama/Comedy(at times). It's around ep 17 and it's beginning to get good.

didnt they make a game of that "Full Metal Alchemist" just wondering i think i sawed it on "X-Play"

platinum edge · February 18, 2004, 01:22:05 AM

Yeah they did...you'll see some ads for the game on the A-Keep-ANBU fansub of Full Metal Alchemist...

Chloe · February 20, 2004, 10:41:02 PM

Kare Kano! The best shoujo ever!

Suspicious · February 20, 2004, 11:55:11 PM

I second Kare Kano. Arima and Miyazawa are just too adorable together. >.<
