Thanks for the input ^__^ One more thing about Gunslinger Girl: what is the approx. age of the girls and ditto for the trainers? plus is the premise aimed solely at a male audience, or is there enough of an interesting storyline to please a female viewer?

I've just invested in Peacemaker Kurogane ^__^ Saw Hakkenden about 8 years ago and loved Jubei-chan - hilarious. Thanks for your help again. Maybe I need to try and overlook the fmugly characters in Basilisk, as I would like to know if it turns into something worthwhile!! Thanks ^__^ It...

@ Laughing Manji: thanks ^__^ very helpful and to be honest you make them all sound like they're worth watching and as buying them would cost me quite a bit of money, I don't want to invest in crap! I so desperately need something new to watch and the average 26 episode series lasts me 3-4 days...

I find watching anime keeps my mind young! and age is a state of mind (and a knackering of body :lol: ) anyway. At least you know now you're not alone in your adage :wink:

Thanks for the tips! I'm not trying to choose one of the titles, I'm thinking of getting them all ^__^ but there are so many varied opinions on them all (except Genshiken by the looks of it!!) that I'm still not sure :( I know a lot of you know the kind of anime I like (and don't think...

I'm contemplating the following series, can anyone tell me whether they're worth the bother? (No fan boy/girl ravings, please be as objective as possible ^__^): Kiddy Grade Last Exile Scrapped Princess Samurai 7 Genshiken The Big O Gun x Sword Thanks ^__^

Hi! and welcome ^__^ Age is irrelevant when it comes to watching anime! I've been a fan for 14 years, but just because I'll be 40 in a few weeks, doesn't mean I'd suddenly class myself as "too old" to watch anime, so you don't need to worry about age; just enjoy it for what it is :mrgreen:

I really enoyed it myself! Once I stopped being hypnotised by those HUGE boobies, I was able to really enjoy the anime for what it was :wink: I think the best bit was pausing the OP credits and reading the characters statistics and I remember something like the boob sizes ranging from a 34B to a...

After much deliberation I decided to get the first G Gundam boxset. Someone I know recommended it to me about 10 times, so I finally gave in ^__^ Also thought I'd try out Gantz and Peace Maker Kurogane.

I'd say go with Nadesico and it's got nothing to do with the fact that I'm currently re-watching it for the 8th or 9th time :wink: (That's over a period of as many years mind you!). It's great series and one of the first to incorporate the Otaku feature within the realms of the anime story (I...

That's hardly surprising though, as the popularity of shounen-ai anime has increased greatly over the past little while and both decent shows of last year (Sukisyo and Loveless) were licensed just as quickly ^__^

It can also be the saving grace of a mediocre story :wink: I prefer my *hotties* in a good storyline, as it makes the anime more re-watchable! I love Fushigi Yuugi for the OTT angsty romance, the settings, the storyline as a whole, but I can watch it purely for Tamahome and Tasuki; so when the...

If an anime has a half-arsed ending (i.e. Fruits Basket, Kare Kano, Hana Yori Dango, Yami no Matsuei) then I will read the manga afterwards to see what I missed out on. Most of my manga tends to be shoujo anyway and I don't often read anything other than that, so I wouldn't be tempted to read a...

If you high-light the text, then press spoiler at the top of the page, it should work! In an emergency, you could high-light the text and use white as a font colour ^__^ BTW I'm glad you agree with me about the eye-candy; I mean what is an anime without a good dose of *hotties* :lol:

Manga Girls you should put spoilers on some of what you wrote, coz not everyone reading this will know the outcome of Krad and Dark's true identity!! I loved the ending of D.N.Angel; it had a real creep factor element to it and rounded the story off nicely. BTW what's wrong with a bit of...

That's the 3rd series, right? I thought it was a pretty good conclusion to Robotech and a darned sight better than The Robotech Masters, but I will always have a soft spot for Lin Minmei, Rick Hunter and Max Sterling ^__^

The one strange thing about it is I haven't found a favourite character yet! That's very unusual for me, but because there are so many wonderful characters, it's hard to pin down just 1 I have a preference for (although if Ryuuren was in it more, he would be a likely candidate ^__^).

I think I've only ever gone on YouTube to watch a few speed runs of boss battles for LOZ: OoT and the odd music clip. I guess watching anime on YouTube saves people even bothering with the time it takes to download an anime episode; it's like fast-food I guess :lol:

Don't you think Tales of a Travelling Bugmaster sounds pretty lame compared to just Mushi-shi?! I'm not sure I'd bother with a L/A version of Mushi-shi; I think it would lose a lot of the original charm with "real" people and CGI Mushi.

Nope! just fugly guys :wink: Part of the appeal of a romance anime is convincing lead characters and neither of them convinced me they were passionate about each other. Not only that, but watching an anime where everyone looks like they're blushing 24/7 is very offputting. Maybe it's more of...
