ChristopherDAC: You can send it to a different address (email is still the same), actually - am at different place. I'll email you the address as soon as I can. Max: Heh - the series is hilarious, and all the fights just get better and better. Takamura-san is positively wicked, evil...
Good to see everyone here. new and old. Saikano is pretty heavy indeed. For me though the saddest series ranking goes to Now and Then, Here and There for a variety of reasons. One funny thing is that the manga of Fruits Basket will be more expensive than the anime (as it has more volumes...
So JohnAD - After seeing the original Gundam in movie format, you gotta admit that Universal Century Gundam is pretty fun to watch. I mean sure, the animation is old, but the story seriously covers war in a way few anime does and carries the hallmark " Good? Evil? Depends on your Point of...
JohnAD: I was assuming that you had owned and seen Gundam Wing, but if you haven't ( or don't own it) then sorry for assuming you did. 0079,0080,0083, Zeta, Double Zeta, and F91 I believe are teh bulk of Universal Century Timeline. AC (After Colony) is a separate timeline from Universal...
Max: I believe it will probably be around 15~17 volumes altogether - it's 76 tv eps, 1 ova, 1 movie for the complete anime series, which covers about 33 volumes of the manga pretty faithfully. I think in Japan, there are about 76 or so volumes of manga for this series - it's been running for...
Nope, should have been listed but wasn't. Good catch, Alanna. :) There are two other suggestions for good anime from the '80's/early '90's - Kimagure Orange Road TV, OVA/Movies and Maison Ikkoku TV. Both are long but stories and romance/comedy is pretty well handled - not to mention Maison...
Elijah - welcome to the board. Urusei Yatsura is a pretty fun old series, with mostly comedy as the focus and an insane number of episodes. Another good addition is Ranma 1/2 seasons 1-3, OVAs, and movies. Gundam Movie Trilogy and CHar's Counterattack are also recommended, as Universal...
Max, try to watch the discs in order. One good thing - all the fights are contained in each disc so you won't be waiting for the next disc in terms of cliffhangers per se (e.g. like Samurai Champloo's cliffhanger eps.)
Last Exile is a great series with great plot, characters, and well thought out world. Easily and A series in its own right, and exciting to watch. As usual still buried under work. Other than that, I've been able to w atch some new things - commercial and non-commercial. As many of you...
The series "clicked" for me when I reached ep 15. After a certain bout, I realized that this was a must have series for many many reasons, with the best being the terrific cast of the Hajime no Ippo characters. I was and still am a sucker for sports anime, but am still surprised something this...
I do generally agree with Kong on what in my opinion is ADV's not so smart stance of selling boxsets so quickly. For someone how doesn't collect things as they come out, or gets anime used and would like to get teh individual volumes, a quick box set is not that beneficial. For example, I have...
I also got Samurai 7 #1 and #2 limited editions (read: more storyboards) as well and also recommend that - no superdeformed action here. Just some honest to goodness anime drama and ridiculous swordsmanship.
Hello all - am alive, just buried under the pressures of a diet (blech - lost 7 lbs of water weight - now the hard part starts) and work (big workload for everyone.) Got Maisson Ikkoku Collection #5, Fighting Spirit #8, Jubei-Chan 2 #3. I'd recommend the first two to any fan. The last is good...
