FLCL!!! OMG how did I forget to mention FLCL!? One of the best coming-of-age stories ever! And the music! And the Vespa! Just so much awesome.

I got the Blu-ray box for Basilisk and it totally made up for the entire drought symmer season. The last time a series delivered a similar effect and atmosphere is Elfen Lied, except Basilisk is about 10 times better (to me anyway). The story line is similar to Romeo&Juliet, yet it feels like making that comparison is an insult to Basilisk. No offense to Shakespeare's fans, but I had watched, read and studied R&J in two different languages within 2 almost opposite cultures, and each time I have to shed a little tear at the end ... not for the characters, but for the world of literature in general: how could an utterly stupid story achieve that kind of frame and status? Sue me, but it's in my power I would probably ban R&J from existence.



Basilisk has everything, a heavy dose of action, a lethal dose of drama, gorgeous drawing, soul-stealing music, heart-imprinted characters. The ending is kinda a mix between you crying tears of joy and trying to hang yourself. If you think Sakano is the ultimate love song, then Basilisk is the most epic play on the most magnificent stage. It provided absolute satisfaction ... if you're into it of course, doubt a 10 years old would enjoy it, not like you would one to watch it anyway. And oh yeah, it's Blu-Ray, my first too, so it was a very memorable "first time".

Here's a list of animes I currently love off the top of my head. By no means exhaustive, though, nor are all of them necessarily in the top of my favourites.

Serial Experiments Lain
Ergo Proxy
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Paranoia Agent
Fullmetal Alchemist
Cowboy Bebop

Sadly. the creator of Paranoia Agent who also created the awesome film Perfect Blue among others, Satoshi Kon, died recently at the age of 46. Currently watching Chrono Crusade, seen the first four episodes and now stuck waiting for the rest to arrive, will comment on what I think of it once I have seen the entire series and know how I feel about it (still unsure, depends on how it goes at the mo). Also trying to get a hold of Texhnolyze, sounds like something I would love, anyone got any comments on it?

Strangely enough, I could never get into Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex despite normally liking such things, I think it was due to the major, I just could not stand her, but I've always had issues with Mary-Sue type characters.

EDIT:  Just thought I'd add that the recommendation for Evangelion is for the original, as I have only seen the first movie of the Rebuild and so cannot yet comment as to how it all holds up.

Never saw it, but Elfen Lied was an overrated anime with a flawed storyline, now the fact that the storyline is flawed in that anime is not my opinion but it is an actual fact, there are many things wrong with it and I don't understand why people praise it so much, as if they were blind or oblivious to the fact that it is actually very poorly written.

It's called belief suspensing and frankly, unless you're looking at a masterpiece everything havea flaw one way or another. Elfen Lied was better than the average anime, and certainly better than a few other of its gerne (say like Witch Hunter Robin). It's the case of the sum is greater than the part, it's a quality package in most angle really. I think you're more on the toe about its flaw is because you dislike the hype, which not really a strange thing. Plus anime is always about the package in it entirely, they're not a game. An excellent story can be trashed with flat characters, good plot can be ruined by whacky pace (which most anime is guilty of), interesting characters can't make up for broken narrative. Sure I won't swear my name for Elfen Lied, but it's hardly "poorly" written, it did most of its thing right, and had a few extra peaks. (An excellent dub always help).


Basilisk however, I'm willingly state my credential to vow for it. Seriously, with $50 and if you have a blu-ray + HDTV, there is no reason not to get it even if your intetest in anime is just mild.

Awesome taste in anime! Also soooo sad that Satoshi Kon died... he was my favourite anime director. *sniff*

I love Cowboy Bebop
Evangelion
Samurai Champloo
Ghost in the Shell movies and series
Darker than Black
Black Lagoon
Berserk
Perfect Blue
Paranoia Agent
Tokyo Godfathers
Hellsing Ultimate

I'm still not sure how I feel about Eva Rebuild. It's very shiny but lacks a lot of the orgiginals phycological charm.

I don´t like anime. I like the drawing, and I like Hentai pictures, but the stories are ... too weird... for my tastes.



And of course I don´t watch many movies anyway so if I do it´s usually something like Matrix or LotR, not series. I dislike series If I watch a movie I want to be able to finish it in the same "session". I don´t want to watch 30 minutes episodes every day.

I like it.



Also, this:
Miyuki-chan in Wonderland
The manga is an erotic, lesbian rendition of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The series focuses on Miyuki, a Japanese schoolgirl who finds herself
pulled into several nonsensical worlds populated by scantily-dressed
females who want to have their way with her.


It´s so much lol.....

Why mention Serial Experiments Lain? Its an obscure piece of garbage from the late 90's which doesn't even deserve any real credit whatsoever, Evangelion and other anime such as Cowboy Bebop are so much better than this pile of stolen ideas.

Dude, why send me personal messages for to enforce your own opinion?  Trying to coerce people into not arguing with you on the thread so that you can try to appear knowledgeable?  Keep it to the thread and present your opinions there, while try to understand that others may not share your tastes.

Questionable sense of humour... Very questionable.

Why that? Can you really help NOT laughing about Japanese when you read that stuff?

I am not coercing anyone, I am just telling you that I really don't appreciate you mentioning that series, and I have given a valid argument above, another thing... Its called PRIVATE Message.

Really?  So because you had an 'interview' with this guy and decided it was crap I should keep it to myself?  It's called a difference of opinion, something you were going on about yourself on page 1 of this thread, if you don't like it fine then just say as much and move on, I'm not overly keen on GitS:SAC or Naruto and yet I am not going to tell people that they should 'keep it to themselves'.

As for it being a private message, trying to convince people to change their posts because you don't appreciate it is not on, and should be done in the thread so that a fair discussion can take place.  Sending it by PM you were hoping to make me think I had done something wrong or offensive and to change it without debate, and I wonder how many others in this thread have had PMs sent to them by you for having a difference of opinion...

[Beocat]

Guys, it's okay to disagree. Just agree to disagree and leave it at that.
