Future Boy Conan 7/10 Miyazaki's Second (and final) Tv series, though notably he did not direct all of the episodes. This is pretty clear in truth. The early and later episodes are mostly done by him, and it shows - The begining and end of this series is extremely good, and classic Miyazaki...

I really wanted to like fantastic children, I really did. I thought there as so much promise there as it was so different from anything I had recently scene, but by 3/4 of the way through it was clear it was just ending up in a mess that is not going to be properly sorted out and unfortunately I...

This is rather a 'best seen' rather than 'best released' list I hope, because i'd never manage otherwise. Best: Probably the most innovative I watched (save the way the dvds lack a 'play all' option was Noein definately a step above most anime on the intellectual front, it certainly. Very...

O_O Nah, but seriously, Orguss 2 is one of my fave anime, largely because it has a decent background for it. True I have yet to see more than a few snippets of the origional series (Not only not released over here, but not fansubbed to my knowledge either) but it gives the series a depth that...

I did not like innocence much either to be honest. The origonal Stand Alone Complex was the best visual realisation - though if they removed the god awful tachikoma's it would have gone from 'pretty good' to 'pretty great' (cute does not do it, sorry) Innocence was pretty flat all in all, not up...

Re: ... It is certainly much less cringeworthy than 90% of Sailor Moon anyway. It is pretty fun (presently watching it) though as usual brain dead which is usual for such a show. It does stay away (so far, at episode 34) from the faux mythology which made Sailor moon such a non starter...

Haibane is probably my fave anime, and yes, it is very good, It will certainly leave you pondering even more than Lain! Try Paranoia Agent for something in a similar vein to Lain. The Girl who leapt through Time is another recent good watch. Others I would put in the 'slightly different'...

It was a bit of a surprise from ABe (One of my fave people in anime for Lain and Haibane) but it was still extremely good, in a really odd way. It does the 'madcap slice of life' thing in a slightly different way and it works pretty well all told. Probably my least fave ABe, but then again, it...

Nah, Not a fan. True the dub is terrible beyond belief, but I think I was more horrified at how the pretty good first episode about anti terrorism, turned into such a piece of blugh attempt at cyberpunk and failed in every possible way. But then again, the comedy value of the dub alone could...

Ah yes, comedy. Everything has been said already, but my two pence is that Excel Saga, for me, is one of the funniest things ever made :) Love Hina is funny, but not in the same league (Though the Negima! Manga is pretty damn hilarious) Azumanga is pretty damn funny as well. Infact, there are...

I will agree with Odin being particularly poor :roll:

I am in the middle of watching it at the moment. Only up to episode 7 so far. Generally screams of Sailor Moon with less drama, slightly less monster of the week feeling, and perhaps, just more fun. Don't have an overall view as of yet, but it is not making me turn it off in disgust so it has...

While I do not share the same overall enthusiasm, sailor moon is watchable for most of its length. However the last 10 episodes of Sailor Moon R (One of extremely few places it is not 'monster of the week') It actually goes from 'watchable' to 'pretty damn good' It is not in my top ten...

Favourite Anime: Undetermined :P But since it generally revolves around two series and one film, I shall make a stand on them all. Haibane Renmei. A outwardly calm, collected and generally peaceful tale with almost no action to speak of. It shows the centre piece of the human condition in the...

You know, I find it difficult to come up with such a list. I mean I have seem a few very bad Anime: Virus, Kai Doh Maru, Angel Cop, Legend of the Overfiend, The Judge, Nadesico: Prince of Darkness. which are admittedly pretty bad. Then I have seem those which while not bad, are just really...

I find it funny, the very ambiguious signal are just that, ambiguious (unlike Seto, where they are ott) then again, gender bender anime are usually hilarious so that's a plus. However I doubted a decent dub could be done, simply because I knew what would happen to the guys voices, I just knew...

A tough one. A few months ago I would have said Anime, but I am finding (of late at least) more stories that interest me in manga form than in Anime, so I am a little conflicted on the matter at the moment. I certainly would not like to chose though! :cry:

You know, I'm not sure about that. The first part also has its darker moments. Generally I think it is more development, though I will grant you the last episode certainly ups the ante. < Haibane Renmei fan here. :P

Well, the absolute ending is pretty poor, but at least it has one! *coughevacough* but that series as a whole could have been 26 episodes, and would have benefited massively from it. There are lots of good bits, but lots of padding as well, to be expected really. But back to the topic at...

Otogi Zoshi Episodes 1-3 Again Production IG come out with a flashy but slightly unsettling visual style. Also they come out with a completely meh story for the most part. Very generic so far. :(
