The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime

[xelement5x]

Attack on Titan looks really awesome, I like the look of it as well but have yet to get a chance to watch it.  I did finish watching Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple a couple months ago and it was a good funny and energetic (if generic) fighting anime.  Then I watched Angel Beats recently before it went off Netflix, it's a series with some fun ideas, but still makes you think a bit.

DANGAIOH  must be watched by all.  Just be careful though as the USA DVD completely skipped the first episode, and the dub is one of the worst ever too.

Cruchy roll has the first episode for free.

Watched an episode of Heavy Metal L-Gaim tonight

Thought it was pretty rad. Very nice animation, cool mecha, awesome opening theme with lots of synth and vocoder.

I watched the entire episode, then started the second one. 

I liked the atmosphere and pacing so far. It's not immediately "this is the best thing ever", but with the second episode expanding into a town, with new characters and the world growing, I'm curious to see how things will develop.

Man it gets REALLY good, keep watching

I will! I have been exhausted the past few days and the only thing I want to do is WATCH SOMETHING that doesn't involve dinosaurs on a train, talking rabbits who lack adult supervision, etc.

I also will watch some more Battle of the Planets.

     I'm up into the 20's now.  damn L-gaim gets even better.  the story really builds through the first 15 episodes, and the artwork/battle screens are worth while.

I've watched the first two episodes of "Future Boy Conan" after having finished up Sherlock Hound. So far I'm impressed.

[SignOfZeta]

Conan is amazing. That scene near the beginning where he's crying and...is he digging a grave or...I can't remember. Anyway, very emotional.

I just started Episode 9. I'm totally diggin' this.  

Also, I'm the first to make fun of J-pop, but I love the theme song! I don't skip opening/ending credits. I DO skip the previews, though, since they totally spoil the upcoming episode!

Good times.

Yes I do the same after the end theme song.  However I Now skip the opening song as well.  - see warning/spoiler below

SPOILER ABOUT THE OPENING THEME SONG HERE - Hidden becuase it is tied to the story, the spoiler won't give away plot or anything but if your a purest I hid it: the theme song and title screen change at episode 26 to Heavy Metal Lgaim - mark 2( season two) and the new song stinks, stinks bad

OK, I couldn't stop myself from reading that! Thankfully, it's the ending credit song I frggin' love the most. 

I'm up to episode 14(?) now. It's just getting better.

Not sure if this falls under "good" anime, but has anyone else had their eyes on the Cho Kosoku Galvion box set?  I really want to see the series, but alas, I still don't know the moon language...

We just got a free 2 month trial for Hulu Plus thru our Wii.  I'm surprised at the mass of Anime they have on there, even stuff from the 80's & possibly 70's.  If no one has Hulu Plus, it might be worth checking out.  Though, I'm a bit pissed.  As I've admitted before, I'm a huge fan of Naruto(mainly the whole underdog theme, where he continues to overcome adversity appeals to me).  I'm in Naruto Shippuden at the moment, but I only watched dubbed.  Call me a dub Nazi if you like, I only do subtitles if there's no dub at all.  In any case, I was all excited that I could just watch it on Hulu, instead of random websites of dubious nature.....& it's all friggin' subtitled!  The main website says the dub is not available at this time, BOOOOOOOOOOO says me!

[SignOfZeta]

Oh shut up.

[Ji-L87]

I think that's the first time I've seen someone complain about subs, instead of the reverse...

(I'm too weeaboo for dubs)
