I have found my new anime love and wanted to share it with everyone and suggest you all try it out ^__^ Ever wondered what it would be like if 12 Kingdoms and Fushigi Yuugi were to be mixed together? well this is the impression you will get when you watch Saiunkoku Monogatari (The tale of...

5 episodes was all I could stomach, as the character design is as unappealing as those in Koi Kaze. One of the more important aspects of any romance anime for me is attractively drawn characters! The storyline I found quite unappealing too and I didn't feel a real romantic connection between the...

Isn't it that way for most things and not just anime? How often will a movie have the totally wrong kind of leading male just because the makers know his face etc will pull in the punters?! I don't see that there's any harm in any of it; it's what makes us happy ^__^ I'm not actually sure...

Isn't this just a clone of a clone thread?! There's even one with YouTube links!

LOZ: Ocarina of Time for me too ^__^ I'm not a big gamer, but it's definitely my favourite. I also love the Tokimeki Memorial dating sim games (although I never end up with any of the girls, as I always say the wrong things and they all end up hating me - no! I don't understand a word, but...

I just finished watching Otogi Zoshi - loved it ^__^ Hikaru is one of my new favourite female anime characters; she's so cool! *** I thought I'd try out Angel Tales - another cheap thinpak experiment! Volume 9 of Kyo Kara Maoh! is on it's way - can't wait ^__^ Plus after much "it's...

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (I believe it means Cry of the Cicada or something) is not scary, or creepy or anything like that! It is a very interesting premise, but does get stale after a while. You're supposed to believe this one town is under a curse of some ancient god (of torture it seems!)...

I noticed the clip only showed the good bits of Bleach! Can't say I liked the voices much, Rukia sounded bored ^__^

I saw Mushi-shi as a series of fables and folklore and Kino's Journey as a series of fables and fairytales and when trying to decide if someone who enjoyed Mushi-shi would also like Kino's Journey, this is the best way to go about it! Mushi-shi has a more ethereal feel to it, whereas Kino's...

I think the use of Philosophical is overused when referring to Kino's Journey. It all depends on how you perceive it as an individual! My personal take on it is it's more like a revamped version of Aesops tales and while it is trying to get across a message about human nature, it's much simpler...

I still have a few old copies floating around the house somewhere ^__^ It was a pretty good mag in it's day and something I might check out to see how it's changed!!

WOW! Talk about harsh with nothing to back it up! I suppose that's the blue blooded Gundam fan in you talking :lol: I think Gundam Wing should be watched as a character driven anime and not necessarily just as a Gundam anime. I know I haven't watched it 8 times for the messages and morales on...

When you say more realistic, do you mean the character design? If you do and you don't mind older settings/periods in history, I'd say try out Otogi Zoshi (it's sometimes spelt Otogizoushi). It has far more realistic looking characters, that starts off in the Heian period (972AD) and concludes...

I loved the English language dub (infact I haven't actually watched it in Japanese yet!). I also love the character design and this was my main reason for buying it in the first place (bought the R1 boxsets a long time ago). It was the Escaflowne (movie) similarities than I was enamoured of ^__^

I couldn't agree with you more ^__^ @Laughing Manji: Your post was very interesting and very well written; taking into account every point of view. It's not always the case that it's free, it's often as Laughing Manji pointed out; the only means to see something that you would otherwise...

It's amazing how the majority of gorey anime are at the same time hentai :lol: Here's a really old one for you "Guy: Awakening of the Devil". I don't know if it ever got rereleased on DVD, but you should be able to pick the VHS up dirt cheap. It's a bit mindless, but not bad. It might also be...

I never anticipate games! or at least that has been my view since I bought my first console many moons ago ^__^ That has all been thrown out of the window because of LOZ: Twilight Princess :mrgreen:

I've never seen the point in lying about it ^__^ It helps me come to terms with my old age :lol: Anime is my new outlet in life (although I've been a fan for a very long time and a total obsessive for the last 8 years). Before it was a passion for the 1960's; the music, fashions etc but you...

Hi! and welcome ^__^ You never actually stated your age but it can't be that bad surely? I'm 40 on November 7th and I know there is one other member whose a few months older than me - that made me feel better I can assure you :lol: Besides age is a state of mind and you're only as old as...

Advance is still a fansub only and I haven't been bothered enough to download it! Maybe if I get desperate for something to watch ^__^
