My friend, he's Asian and he like Naruto. After school he walks so fast that I have to run to keep up with him so he could go home and watch Naruto, has like 150 episodes left. I watched it with the sub titles, some of it's funny by Anime is really not my thing. Not really into cartoons. It's okay though. Naruto is tite. That's the only thing I know lol. I really didn't get it when I went over to his house to watch. He had to explain.

Edit:hehe, spelled Naruto wrong.

Ive seena bunch of anime series. Excel saga probably being the Oddest and funniest ive seen.

I like the new Ghost in The Shell series they have out. The stuff they have in the show really does seem like where technology is going. Plus they got guns fighting so its cool.

Im a lazy Gundam fan. Ive seen probably all of the series but ive never bought any of the DVDs or anything. Gundam Wing i think was the best. If anybody sees any Gundam games i suggest playing Zionic front or a couple of the newer games

When i was 13 or 14 i was big into the Dragon Ball Z series. god that show went on forever but it was cool and they still make games for it today which is surprising since the show basicly ended in 1996 but with the english dub release its carried on alot longer.

Cowboy Bebop is probably one of my favorite animes of all time. Its kinda old now (1999) But its still great. It had some sad moments that made you think but what a ride it was. I wish they still made the series.

Trigun sits right beside CB on my greatest anime scale. I liked the story with the old west and the guns but i also liked how it had some very funny moments. Vash was kind of a hero who didnt want to be a hero.

Ive seen probably 150 episodes of InuYasha. Ive been lazy and i havent downloaded the new ones from japan in ages. They are probably up to episode 200 by now.

I miss alot of anime shows. If you know some that are pretty good let me know. Ill get around to downloading them someday.

Im just waiting for colin to comment on this....

**DINAMO788** · 01-07-2005

yea, i used to watch dbz too but with gt, its getting pretty repeditive and kinda dumb. meaning the strongest guy shows up, u get srtonger and kill him. then another even stronger guy comes, u get stronger and kill him too, then....

i'm really into YYH tho. if anyone ever wants to talk yyh id be happy too. my freind got some dvd's
so i'm gonna finish up chapter black and i'm also gonna watch the new one. its so new i dont even know wat ti is yet. i hope it is the one with yumi tho. i accidently downlaod that one and all i have to say is OMGW(oh my -badword- whoa, i jsut made it up now, i dunno).

**Blake** · 01-07-2005

Dont use foul language dinamo...surprised you dont know that by now...

**Rebon** · 01-07-2005

When I was a lot younger I was really into my Dragonball/Dragonball Z/Dragonball GT, and I quite liked Gundam Wing too. Its been a while since i've watched anime though...

**DINAMO788** · 01-07-2005

whoa...yea

fpr a second there i was liek foul language? but now i got it. sorry bout that, i guess it happens when i'm excited about soemthing i just type what comes to mind and dont read it back over

i'll try to catch my own next time

**PlayStation 3** · 01-07-2005

I totally love anime

now a favourite would be very hard for me to pick but one that would make it in my best anime list would have to be Rourouni Kenshin ... it's a smaurai action series top class stuff ... rate it 10 outa 10 ... others i'll mention later on ..

**SessDMC** · 01-07-2005

I aint really into toons, but my mate its NUTS about Dragon ball z... hes practicly a cardbord cut out of the main character

Am a elite member, NOW RESPECT MEE!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!

**PeanutButterMunky** · 01-07-2005

You guys keep referencing the same anime, and they all happen to be shown on Adult Swim or the WB. Do you guys ever watch real anime? There's excellent anime beyond Adult Swim. You don't seem like hardcore "anime" fans. Tsk, tsk.

BUT...agreeing with Epsilon, I'd have to say that Cowboy Bebop is up there with my favorites. I was a little disappointed with the ending, though [and it was VERY sad].

**Evolution** · 01-07-2005

I was really into Dragonball Z (Not GT, its crap) about 3-4 years ago back when I was like, 11. Grown out of all cartoons now though, other than The Simpsons, of course.

**PeanutButterMunky** · 01-07-2005

The Simpsons isn't an anime. And I think DBZ is more a cartoon in comparison to today's standards, but it's still an anime, nonetheless. I can't, and never have been able to get into any DB animations. It's just too corny for me. But that's why we have our own "opinions"...and all that good stuff.

As I said though. 'All cartoons (not just anime), other than The Simpsons'.

It makes sense somewhere.

**PeanutButterMunky** · 01-07-2005

I just hate calling anime "cartoons." That seems to bug me for some reason. That, and the word "Japanimation"...that's even worse

**DINAMO788** · 01-07-2005

i agree, it is a lil corny but i started watching it when i was younger so i brought into the cornyness and then i kinda stuck with it.

as for real anime, i would love to see others but i cant really. unless i downlaod gigs after gigs of different anime's seeing which oens i like, theres no real other way to find out.

i really wish they had like a channel soley for anime, that would be SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!

**SessDMC** · 01-07-2005

well i can get web TV anamie (and i mean pokemon sortas stuff, not what you animators who have too much time have) but there nothing special... its all in Japanise...

**PeanutButterMunky** · 01-07-2005

Uh...what?

It's not about having too much time...it's about having the experience of what sucks and what doesn't suck. And you can watch Anime with English voice-overs or subtitles...don't know what you're getting at.

**watashi** · 01-08-2005

Well, actually the only bad series of the dragonball saga was the 2nd and especially the third....the first showed him growing up which was an awesome first season/series...but anyway I like anime like
CHRONO CRUSADE, YOU HAVE TO GET THAT!

It's about demons and demons and heaven and how a demon who is so nice that interacts with a nun with a gun...

Man...I love that show, you guys watch those 'toonami, adult swim stuff' the toonami stuff is stupid to me...they usually have the bad dubs like that card show duel masters? whatever it's stupid though... adult swim has some good shows like inuyasha...

but I think that those who like anime should have to actually buy it to see the true anime vision some of us have

I agree. I cant watch the ending to that show. makes me feel miserable. I did get to see the Cowboy Bebop movie in the movie theatre though. That was a treat and made me feel better that maybe Spike was still nabbing bad guys for bounty but then i found out that it takes place between episode 20 and 23

and i do watch more than whats on adultswim its jsut that whats on adult swim seems to be my favorites

**PeanutButterMunky** · 01-08-2005

Have any of you seen Princess Mononoke? It's pretty freakin' cool [well...sometimes, at least]. There's a chase scene with this hog demon that's covered in thousands of worms, and the level of detail is simply stunning [it was all drawn by hand]. One good thing to remember is not to judge an anime by its cheesy name

and i do watch more than whats on adultswim its jsut that whats on adult swim seems to be my favorites

Well...not recently. I've always loved "Furi Kuri," but was sad that it only ran for 6 episodes. When they started showing it on Adult Swim, I got very excited. It's very unique, and VERY bizarre.

I don't really like what they've been showing on Adult Swim recently. Super-Milk Chan? I don't even know where to begin with that. Wolf's Rain is ok, but it doesn't really start picking up until the end.

**Epsilon-Zero** · 01-08-2005

should watch Ghost in the Shell and Full Metal Alchemist on adult swim satrudays. i seen full metal on a sub way before but i like the dubb, its not too bad actually.
If you havent seen the movie Ghost in The shell you might be a little lost with the show but its good and will probably encourage you to watch the movie

**PeanutButterMunky** · 01-08-2005

I don't watch things like Ghost in the Shell: SAC on TV. I own the full series on DVD [including the original one, and the movie as well]. They cut about half of everything out on Adult Swim. All the nudity and extreme violence...all cut out [and they have to fit it all in a 30 minute timeframe with commercials]. Tis a shame

I've been a fan of Ghost in the Shell for a while now, and I've watched the new one WAY before it debuted on Adult Swim. EDITED = CRAP.

Full Metal Alchemist is somewhat interesting. I'm started to get into it a bit, but it's a little strange.
