The character development part is done through revealing parts of their past, which has the effect of character development anyways. It is a serious anime that touches upon many important issues. Really? The most serious issue they touch upon seems to be how blood and nipples should appear on the screen together, and often... | ||

It deals with the concept of humanity and humane behavior, alienation, death, forgiveness, and a lot of the parental themes. Also got some envy, trust, betrayal, very basic but touching themes. Certainly much deeper than anything Hollywood has to offer. | ||

The first episode was good, then it was just okay up until the battles with Zabuza, which were just amazing and very instrumental in terms of shaping the characters (particularly the star, Naruto). Even after that, the Chuunin exams, first meeting Orochimaru it was a good series. Then after the massive showdown with Gaara, there was basically nothing up until Sasuke leaving. Those pieces of the show I mentioned featured some of the best animation out there backed by a strong plot line. Besides that though, just too many wasted episodes where they were clearly trying to fill in time and stretch out the length of the series... at the cost of the show's credibility. I also don't really understand how a show can have serious themes and yet play so heavily on kiddiness. And very unfortunately, it only seems that the fillers bring down the seriousness surrounding important plot issues and end up making the show more kiddy. Comparing, say, episodes 17 and 18 to any episode from the mid 100's is like comparing... it's just night and day. Anything in the mid 100's reminds me more of Pokemon than anything else, and believe me, that's not what I want to watch. I was hooked on the show up until after Sasuke's big showdown with Naruto. It also disturbs me that there is some material after Sasuke's leaving that I feel they could have put to good use and yet they did not at all. It looked like Naruto's relationship witth Hinata was going to develop in one of those episodes, but nothing came out of it. If anything, the show should have taken a darker and more serious turn as Naruto lost his best friend. Sigh T.T, it's "how to ruin a good series 101." | ||

Nothing beats Doraemon for me. Especially the movies. So much adventure, friendships, and dreams :D!! Loved blue earless cat when I first saw it. Still loves him now. 1: Doraemon. Rest are really subjected to changes based on how I feel -.- but... 2: Last Exile (was beatiful) 3: Kochirakamearikouenmaehashutsujyo (this syllable diarrhea title name is a great manga with 150+ vol, 1500+ chap, STILL CONTINUING on Shonen Jump for more than 30 years. Love anime because I love the manga =O ) | ||

I envy a peacefully lead life that can consider doraemon the top anime experience. Maybe when i was 9 and reading the anime for the first time, (which i did as a child about that age) i would consider it awesome, but now the technocratic and innocent family life seems so distant and blurry. | ||

Wich is still very phylosopical with a lot of symbolism like Asuka's black suit at the ending while ayanami's is white, you also have to interpet what does SEELE and NERV mean and why do they fight, what are the leaders of SEELE trying to accomplish etc etc etc, its a very very very complex series. anyway my list goes: 1.- Kenshing OVA (those 4 precuels are the best of the best in anime) 2.- Berserk (fucking art!) 3.- HellSing (the animation is godly, plus ive always been a fan of Vlad) most overrated pieces of junk: 1.- Naruto (started ok againstht zabuza, then it went downhill with kiddy repetitive plots and fillers) 2.- Ninja Scroll (the animation cuality is pathetic and the plot is retarded) 3.- Dragon Ball X (kiddy scum full of fillers) how can you say ninja scroll is overrated? The quality is bad? wtf you talking about. Best fight scene ever when hes fighting that rock guy and his fucking skull slides down that blade. you cant top that shit. Am i the only perrson that found berserk pseudo gay? it only started to get good on the last 2-3 episodes the rest was kinda, well, gay. | ||

Recently Main stage on Family Values tour? I prefer the older Gibli films over mononoke. Dir En Grey isnt heavy metal. They are a "visual-kay" band. ==================================== Yuyuhakusho(NO ONE MENTIIONED IT?!)[/QUOTE] the manga is far better, hence not worth mentioning  although it was nice that they included some parts that the author decided to omit (the makai stuff) b/c he came to the conclusion that if he continues, he'll just keep doing the same stuff over and over until the readers get bored. So he convinced the editors that he's going to end the series. Pretty bold move. Hence the series ends at a very high level, instead of dragging on and on and on (19 volumes for an immensely popular series is like nothing) On November 21 2006 19:21 sdG)Sakura-JAP wrote: 14 years.

Love anime because I love the manga =O ) Doraemon is amazing. However the new voice actors and animation style can just suck it. Kochikame went SEVERLY downhill around volume 100, and was already showing its decline around volume 90. I used to love this series, but it got absolutely unbearable around the same time the golden years of jump ended. (DB, Slam Dunk, kenshin, YuYu, Dai, etc ending all at once, without suitable substitues. Jump regained some momentum with HxH, One-Piece, Naruto, but it will never be the same again. Kochikame's absolute peak was around volumes 40~80. After volume 100 has been largely trash compared to its older brilliance. It is sad to see ) | ||

Whether or not Dir En Grey is Visual Kai or not the Music they produce has the same qualities as many heavy metal Songs. low Tuned muted riffs, Loud vocals Fast drum beats and Even some good bass/guitar solos. Just because its "Visual Kai" Doesnt mean its not metal to some people. | ||

if you've only heard their stuff though it's very reasonable to think they're just heavy though! they do have some really fucked up shit that is really hard to classify | ||

Start off with obscure. that makes me want to vomit. The video is quite... Well obscure... as the title says. But i completely agree with you, although i have heard a few other bands who classify themselves as visual kai, and I was nowhere near as impressed with them as i was the first time i heard Dir En Grey. I still label them as metal myself. But i guess its all opinionated. | ||

Cowboy Bebop - The epitome of animated coolness. Spike is the most badass motherfucker in the solar system. The soundtrack is some of my favorite music (by Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts), as well. FLCL - Great story, awesome animation, and tons of style. Nonsensical at first, but after a while it starts to fall together. It is also surprisingly touching, with realistic characters that have tons of depth. Another incredible soundtrack by The Pillows. Now and Then, Here and There - Probably the anime that best shows the horrors of war (excepting, perhaps, Grave of the Fireflies), especially among young people. Even though it is set in an alternate universe, the themes ring true throughout. Movies: Akira - If you consider yourself and anime fan and you haven't seen this, do yourself a favor and watch it right now. Go. Do it. It's fucking incredible: from the intricate and bizarre plot to the amazing production values (not a single cell of animation was reused throughout the entire movie), this movie does no wrong... except maybe with the American voice actors. But fuck them, use subtitles. Castle in the Sky - This is something of a wild card, as you probably won't find this on many other favorite lists, but it really struck a chord with me. The characters are likable, and the adventure is grand. There is nothing terribly complex going on, just straightforward and lighthearted questing. | ||

2. Lupin III 3. Captain Tsubasa I sort of grew out of anime and haven't watched many of the new series, so my list is kind of dated. These are all shows I loved when I was little and that I still watch from time to time even now (for instance, I still watch every new Conan episode and movie) Edit: Actually, I just thought of a series that I really liked that isn't oldschool. Outlaw Star. I had such a huge crush on Melfina ... | ||
