Besides the show my pic came from, which most of you have seen... I'd recommend....

Elfen Lied
A teenage boy and his female cousin find a naked girl at the beach with long red hair and horns on her head that look like cat ears. She had just escaped from a secret lab. So they take her home. It seems she suffers from mutiple personality. During the day she has a 'chii' personality: she knows dick about real life like she was born yesterday, and the only word she says is "Nyo".  During the night, she's a homocidal maniac named Lucy, with telekenetic powers and a fetish of turning people into sliced ham.

This is the bloodiest, goriest thing I've seen this year, and it's worth it just for the massive amount of blood spraying around like a bad hong-kong flick. There's also quite a bit of "chobits"-style fanservice. Retard girl gets in compromising situation with boy, another girl walks in and kicks his ass. Also, the female cousin seems to be a typical emo japanese schoolgirl and whines or cries a lot or takes her anger out on her male cousin. She also has a crush on him and wants him to fondle her boobs and shit.

The anime cliches bug the hell out of me, but the excessive violence makes up for it. For an example of how bloody it can get, there's a scene in the beginning with one of those ditzy clutzy females, she falls over and finds herself between Lucy and a bunch of guards. So what does Lucy do? She lops the girl's head off and uses her body for a shield to block the bullets while she dismembers the guard's bodies. Flawless Victory!

I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Modern anime is a stagnant cesspool of regurgitated ideas.

Forget what he's said and download the Fist of the North Star or Berserk manga instead.

Well if E is avoiding it, then I have to watch it.....but I'll blame D if it sucks. Which it will. So I'll just blame him now and cut out the middle man while passing on the savings.

It's a show.  I saw the DVD at Suncoast.  On the front rack.  Near the entrance.  Right next to GITS: Second Gig.  And I wanted to wash GITS and hug it.

I've been getting Elfen Lied off Netflix, and the third volume should be in the mailbox today.  If nothing substantial happens, I may be dropping it from my pull list...it just doesn't really do anything for me.  But if violence and gore is your bag and you want more, make sure you watch Gantz.  

Azumanga Daioh collection came out yesterday, and I've got it ordered.  You are hereby cordially commanded to buy, watch, and love this show.  Make sure you have all of GITS:SAC, too.  I'm growing to like Planetes the more I watch it, and Genshiken=teh win.

Azumanga Daioh is so 2 years ago. Get with the times man!
*shoves Yomi back into the closet* not done with you yet dammit.


If you guys aren't going to bother with my suggestions, I guess I won't suggest Monster then. I won't mention that it's a pretty good drama/mystery/thriller show from the studio that made Master Keaton.

It's probably not good enough anway, someone I talked to passed it up for MaiHiME, because HiME has jiggly boobs, magical girls, fanservice, and mecha, and Monster doesn't.
I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Yeah, I'll have to put my stamp of approval on GITS:SAC as well. One of the few animes that I can stand to watch these days.

AzuDai is timeless, heathen.  And there are many who've not yet converted (succumbed?) to the new century gospel of Great King Azuma!

Thanks for the Azumatrix gif, that's classic.  I need to track down the "What is Osaka" flash sometime in case you guys haven't seen it.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex is one of the better anime series I've yet seen...and it's a good intro for non-anime sci-fi fans, too.  I just got the first volume of the second season in yesterday, so we've got another 26 eps headed our way soon.

And if you haven't seen Macross Zero yet, what are you waiting on?

I'm looking forward to seeing the new Ah! My Goddess series.  Maybe they'll finally do this property right in animation.

Monster was a great read. Anything by Naoki Urasawa is gold. Hopefully he'll tie up 20th Century Boys in the next couple of years so that they can animate that as well.

I think I got about halfway through Mai-Hime before stalling out. Same with Ah! My Goddess, Bakuretsu Tenshi, Madlax, and Tactics. They've been sitting on my hard drive since long before they were licensed.

Lately I've just been watching raws. If I really like a series, I'll buy it when it's licensed, as it's released. Otherwise I'll just grab the series box set later on.

Right now I'd say Basilisk: Koga Ninpo Cho is the best new series of 2005, and I doubt anything in the October flood will top it.
