I'm surprised this hasn't been made as of yet until now. Anywho, discuss anything that has do to with anime (except for hentai).
What are some of your faves?
Mine as of now are Death Note and Neon Genesis Evangelion (thanks to Nick Taxidermy). I wanna check out the new movie asap when I get a chance. Hopefully it'll still be playing in the city.

Anime mostly sucks now, but there are still some classics, and even some great recent series. check out The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

I still have to check out Akira. It's been on my Netxflix for awhile, and I dunno when I expect to get it. I should go check and see. Hopefully I'll get it soon.

Har har. I really miss how into anime I used to be. Don't get me wrong, I still love it, but it's not an obsession anymore. Probably due to the fact that my brother doesn't live nearby anymore and he was like the only one who shared my obsession. That said, I'm a total shojo girl. Clamp all the way.

That's because you're a dude and aren't into pretty boys.

for some reason I randomly decided to record Death Note having never watched it a couple weeks ago. it's so engaging! I had to use hulu to catch up on all the episodes before that one and now I'm following it on Adult Swim
other than that I don't really know of any anime that I like, other than Miyazaki movies. but who doesn't like those?

I went through a phase where I bought me a new anime movie / box set / dvd every other month but now I just don't care all the much any more. I never managed to finish Bubblegum Crisis or Berserk and I lost interest in Death Note.
I did manage to get through all of Speed Grapher and that was mostly good, though the series went on a little too long.

Cowboy Bebop is the only anime I own, and I like it more than all other animes.

My favorites are still Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Code Geass. My friend has been trying to get me into Soul Eater but I just haven't had time.

here's a hint, kids: try some stuff that's more than 3 years old. it gets better the farther back you go.

Please Save My Earth is one of my old favorites. Oh, Now and Then, Here and There is another good one.

I actually had pretty much no interest in anime until I started watching Sailor Moon too much. Once I'm done watching and reading Sailor Moon I'll probably look into getting into other stuff, but I don't like the idea of juggling two series at a time. Recommendations for when that time comes?

Deathnote's one of my favorites, but Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Gurren Laggan, and a bunch more are pretty good. Right now I'm watching Ouran High School host club (funny at times but meh) and So Long Mr. Despair. So Long Mr. Despair's pretty good for anybody trying to find a good comedy series.
Anybody else seen Interstella 5555/what did you think of it?

Read or Die was a series? I thought it was just a movie. No wonder it didn't make any goddamned sense!

I use to be into Sailor Moon awhile back. Hate to say it, but at the time I had a thing for Tuxedo Mask.

The only ones I've ever really liked were Speed Grapher, and Elfen Lied.And the only reason Cowboy Bebop was on my TV was because it had amazing fucking jazz music playing at almost all times.

It's all over the place, some people don't have real memories, altenate universe mumbo jumo, blah blah blah......then again that's almost every anime.
