Haibane Renmei owns your argument :P (But it is my favourite series :wink:) But yes, brilliant series all round.

After a couple of years of desperately trying to find this anime, I finally got hold of it in the past few days, and have been spending my time watching it. Being very interested in Shinto and polytheistic religions in general, this was right up my ally, but more than that the trailers suggested...

Nah, don't worry too much, It is personal preference and I didn't think this was any kind of 'official' list, just self thoughts. I know some may struggle to list say 10 OVAS, but that comes with the times - if this was the early/mid ninties I expect most could list 10 films and OVAs but...

Just so you know, mixing up Tv series/OVAs/Films, is to me not a fair comparison as they do completely different things - hence my splitting my list into three. I don't care if it is ignored, I just think mixing them all up together is not a fare comparison. I mean most would rank their...

Rewatched Dead Leaves Last night for the first time in absolutely ages. As one of my personal 'Triliogy of madness' (including Dragonhalf and Puni Puni Poemi) It used to watch it like mad, but I have been more into dark (Lain) or reflective and nostalgic (Mushishi, whisper of the heart) lately...

Difficult not including any films, but I shall do two lists for that! First, series! 10 points: Haibane Renmei 9 points: Serial Experiments Lain 8 points: Excel Saga 7 points: Paranoia Agent 6 points: Noein 5 points: RoD TV 4 points: Azumanga Daioh 3 points: Martian Successor...

Actually, I found that one simply pure comedy class, nothing 'bad' about it (stands right up there with Dragonhalf and Puni Puni Poemi for me)

Second Angel Cop (Though utterly excluding the dub the first episode was pretty good) Same with Fist of the North Star, though it was my first anime! Detenator Orgun is rather similar in that respect

My brother and his wife were going to call their firstborn Akira if it was a girl. However it turned up a boy, so they called him Neo :eek: He is 5 now, and doing well :) As for me I rather like Akiko, but have a strange liking for old english names myself.

Eva no question. Quite a few Anime series have meh endings, and equally many have bad ones. Eva however is just a non entity of massive proportions. Other ones which come to mind include. Eureka Seven: Not diabolical by any means, but I think the love heart thing on the moon REALLY spoilt...

I disagree with Haibane Renmei - It is one of my favourite series, at times my top favourite, but the entire nature of it, the walls, means that the concept is finite. It tells you a lot, leaves a lot open to the imagination. Any more I feel would start infringing on the concept too much. It is...

I have a few... Nadesico - Like a proper continuation, not that god awful movie which bore only the most slightest resemblance to the series. Kiki's Delivery Service - Damn, I want more, mooooooore I say! ROD - More OVA style if poss, but more series style is great as well, but it is...

Going back a bit, have to anounce I got an Eee PC! :eek: muchly impressed with it, and linux generally (first use of) only cost £199, so basically can upgrade to a new one regularly at that price. (only got it for writing mainly anyway. I may get the new version at some point and...

After getting bored after 2 years of Guild Wars, this was one of many free mmorpgs I tried. While it held my interest more than most of them (i.e. a few hours) It was plagued by the usual free mmorpg problems - massive grind and a fixed control system with no choice of changing it. Among the...

Anything which involves Yoshitisho ABe Serial Experiments Lain Haibane Renmei Niea7 Techxnolize

Sonic Adventure was good, buggy as hell, but generally good. My main issue is that it 'killed mobius' as it were. I MUCH prefered the old mega drive era stories (Expanded by Sonic the Comic) Somehow the 'new' stories really never feel to work with me. However despite horrible voice acting, I...

I will admit up front that I have not watched it since 2002, so any specific details will be lost on me, but my general impressions continue to stick in my mind. Make of that what you will and realise that it is the impressions of something I watched only once 6 years ago. :wink: Perhaps it...

I don't 'hate' it, Though I have to say I do seriously dislike the fact that it is supposedly the most popular Anime series of the past 15 years. The story of how I saw it I've mentioned, but briefly I saw it on sci fi channel in 2002. I wasn't on the internet much then so had no idea what...

It is a pity it is the usual 'lets just reboot everything' movie - with a 50 episode series to build on you think they could go rather further - I generally dislike reboots at the best of times, especially with one of my favourite series :(

I've got the collection, and I think it was a great show in all. Instead of a load of faux sci fi, this one actually does do very well all the way through in keeping a consistent backing. The characters are very good generally, especially as the show goes on. I'm not completely thrilled about...
