Er the poll is still going on people but if you go to the end of the topic you can see I'm trying to get people to nominate 8 anime opening songs for a poll I'm making after. YOU all have to nominate them because you know if I pick them then it will be a disaster.  ;)

mod edit: You can always modify your last post if you have something more to say, rather than double post. Keep that in mind, alright? ^_-

Rurouni Kenshin, cause Rurouni is epic, and it's perhaps the best Manga I have ever read- check out the avy ^_^

I have to agree with Key here. Rurouni Kenshin stirred up different emotions in me, and I think its a master piece amoung animes and mangas.

Heh, I voted Akira, mainly because I prefer cyberpunk themes. In truth, my favorite anime of all time is one that isn't that well known, yet it has a whopping 52 episodes: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, also Cyberpunk.

Akira is quite violent. I REALLY should watch it again. While it may be violent, and the story, dark, it's actually quite something... it's always about exploring dystopian themes with me, and this is especially true when it takes place following a cataclysmic world war. It may be gritty, but at least it's more realistic (even though there are elements of sci fi, I'm talking about characters) than a lot of other anime/manga.

I plan  on reading the whole manga when I find the time to. It's over 2000 pages and 6 volumes long.

i picked naruto

you forgot three
trinity blood
yu-yu-hakusho

and probably the best anime EVER, BOBOBO-BOBO-BOBO
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: DW on April 17, 2007, 07:08:28 AM
You don't seriously like Bobobo do you? Please no...

and there wasn't enough room for every anime.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: MasterKeyX on April 17, 2007, 02:46:51 PM
Yeah, Bobobo is a little... uh yeah, so anyway...

I also liked the KH Manga, but that doesnt really count at all.. it was good, though...
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Rinku on April 17, 2007, 03:46:57 PM
Yes.... Yu Yu Hakusho really should have been in there too.
Well, surprise surprise... Naruto's winning.

Is it against forum rules to start a topic within a topic? I seem to be violating the rules every time I post *but see, Zelda Veteran, the part about Yu Yu Hakusho contributed to the forum so its not against the rules*

Now the topic withing the topic: How many volumes/episodes of each manga/anime have you people seen/read.?
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 17, 2007, 03:50:32 PM
I voted Naruto, obviously.

My favorite anime after Naruto has to be 'MAR: Marchen Awakens Romance'. It's awesome, and I suggest some of you start to read the manga. I would ask you to watch it, but the whole 'Anime Crusade' on youtube ruins it.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: darkphantomime on April 17, 2007, 03:55:13 PM
Don't worry about breaking the rules if your intentions are in the right place.

I've watched every episode of Ghost in the shell, have and have seen both movies. I have and have seen Neon Genesis Evangelion and both movies. I've also seen Escaflowne, Boogiepop Phantom, and a truly weird one called "Serial Experiments Lain"

I don't really favor anime that's based completely off of the manga, so much that it's practically a Carbon copy of it. I prefer stuff that's original.

With that in mind, I've read EVERY volume of Rurouni KEnshin and EVERY volume (so far) of BLEACH.

I really liked Rurouni Kenshin, but I don't want to watch the anime because it's basically the same thing and...
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Rinku on April 17, 2007, 04:09:43 PM
Up to about episode 168(?) of Naruto, read about half of the manga. Read about 5 of rurouni kenshin. Seen half the episodes for Karin, read all of the Chibi Vampire ones. Read 3 volumes of Akira, have yet to see the anime. Trying to get into Evangelion. Seen at least 10 or 15 of Bleach, read at least half the manga. Seen all but 3 episodes of FMA, trying to read all the manga. The reason I havent finished all the series is that recently I've been studying my head off for the SAT's/CST's/Cat 6's or whatever they call them. Once summer vacation starts I'm going to try to finish everything up.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 17, 2007, 04:13:34 PM
I like YuYuHakusho, Naruto, MAR, and InuYasha as both the anima and manga. It also read Case Closed, Shaman King, and watch BLEACH.

A friend of mine has the mangas for deathnote (Same friend that let me borrow Ruroken and BLEACH)... But I'd rather not read it just yet, mainly because there are  so many other mangas that I wanna read...

I personally have never watched it. But its about this guy who gets a notebook and if he writes a person's name in it, they die. It sounds like it could get repetitive after a while though.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: collaboration on April 18, 2007, 05:01:54 AM
Out of these, Naruto. It's something I enjoy, has an entertaining story, fairly unique setting, and doesn't have over-the-top, fish-eye-lense illustrating.

My real favourite animes are Cowboy Bebop, One Piece, G-Force (oh yeah. that's right.) and most things Miyazaki.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: DW on April 18, 2007, 10:49:49 AM
Yeah, I've heard of death note, my friend is obsessed with it...I don't know if I want to see it though. case closed was awesome, wish they still showed it...

Seriously, about four years ago, I was playing tennis for gym.  I told my friend, "Hey, wouldn't it be interesting if they made an anime for tennis?"  He said, "That would be the dumbest idea ever."
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 18, 2007, 12:48:59 PM
It was made before four years ago, they're usually started around five years before it is released in America. And it was a manga first.

Well, POT isn't the best, but it's not entirely bad.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: DW on April 18, 2007, 03:08:35 PM
I love tennis, I would probably like the show but haven't gotten to see it...and Bobobo is an abomination...

Post by: Master Dragmire on April 18, 2007, 05:22:35 PM
I hate being the only person at my school who hates Naruto. They should have never brought it to America. Full Metal is the best anime I've seen, but Inuyasha is my second choice.

Now since I dissed Naruto, Im ready for the onslaught.

He actually stops saying that later, it wears off.and you seriously can't hate it becasue of that. Watch the Japanese version, he doesn't say it there, the American version they did it because it 'matched his mouth' movements or something like that.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Master Dragmire on April 18, 2007, 06:19:25 PM
I have no problem with the Japanese version. Its the American version that really pisses me off. And, I like to be different.

Post by: Bboy94 on April 18, 2007, 06:21:21 PM

I COULD get a cochlear implant. But I simply don't want one.

When you've lived with captions and subtitles as long as I have, they stop being annoying and start becoming a NECESSITY.

And I would be No. 4. It attracts attentions AWAY from the good anime.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: MasterKeyX on April 19, 2007, 08:00:12 AM
I would have to reinforce my opinion and say Rurouni kenshin- I actually cried a little at the end of volume 7 of the Manga... and thats a very good thing, means the Manga is good.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: alical on April 19, 2007, 10:37:43 AM
Naruto!
It's just awesome. I love the time-skip manga the best. I have them all (on the computer).
Fushigi Yugi and Furuba are great too.
When Nuriko died in FY I was in my garden and I just sat there on a rug whimpering, and when Tamahome's family got massacred...
I have seen almost all of the studio Ghibli films, my favourite being Princess Mononoke.
I also have some Bleach and D.N.Angel.
But I keep running out of money.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 19, 2007, 12:04:34 PM
Well, I agree partly JQ, MAR is a very good series, and InuYasha would also be more popular, so it should stop having as much attention. Too late, though. Naruto, and in Japan One Piece, are the Dragon Balls (multiple series) of today.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Rinku on April 19, 2007, 02:26:20 PM
Sorry about you being deaf... it must be kinda hard on you sometimes, i guess. And would it be wimpy if i said i cried after watching certain naruto and fma episodes?

Personally i also think inuyasha has lost its touch... recent episodes seem a little lame and repetitive.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 19, 2007, 02:27:53 PM
Well, they made alot of fillers. And the series ended a while ago, at least in Japan.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: MasterKeyX on April 19, 2007, 02:39:41 PM
I actually read a little bit of Naruto Manga, and it's very good... I think I'll read it eventually.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 19, 2007, 02:42:56 PM
Yes it is very good.

I just thought of something: mabye they won't show the fillers in America. We're already several episodes ahead of where the manga is, and by the time we get to 135, the manga would be very far behind. The fillers would be useless.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: wiizard on April 19, 2007, 03:54:28 PM
Dragon Ball Z should be in that list, it is great although Dragon Ball is not that good.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 19, 2007, 03:58:54 PM
Well, it could just refer to everything that is 'Dragon Ball'. There are multiple series, but they're all basically the same.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Master Dragmire on April 19, 2007, 03:59:16 PM
MAR is a very good manga.

I tend to like the manga's over the actual show. I always miss an episode or get confused, so with the manga, I can always go back and re-read. Im ok with Naruto manga, but I , as I said, I like to be different, so I rarely read my two copies.

I agree DBZ should be on this list.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 19, 2007, 04:05:21 PM
*speaks REALLY quickly, like Rolan*
OMG! I thought I'd never meet another MAR fan! This is so exciting! I can't believe it!
*loses all oxygen and dies*

As said earlier, there are too amny Dragon Ball Series to make votes, and I think this is just plain old all things that are about Goku, Gohan, and all those other guys.

Best anime ever= .hack//Sign. It was short, but it definetly had chaacters that actually felt real.  And has everyone forgotten about Digimon Tamers? The Pokemon games seem like extorsion, since to enslave them all, you have to spend twice the amount of cash.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: MasterKeyX on April 24, 2007, 08:24:05 AM
Enslave...? Dude, it's a video game, and the Pokemon are perfectly happy in the games with being "enslaved."

And Digimon isn't nearly as good as Pokemon... it's a rip-off of the Pokemon idea...

I wish more people would like MAR. It's as good as Naruto, but it ended too quickly (about 170 chapters) fro its popularity to grow very large like the major anime, like Naruto.
Title: Re:Best Anime?

Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 26, 2007, 12:49:49 PM
All three letters are capitalized.

And yes, it is just as good as Naruto, but it ended way too quickly for it to have a mahor popularity. Luckily, though, the sequel manga series MAR Omega is already going on in Japan.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: darkphantomime on April 26, 2007, 04:16:16 PM
Do you have any idea how long most mangas last? 6-12 volumes. Do you know how many most anime series last? 26 episodes, sometimes even as little as 12 or 13.

Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 26, 2007, 05:19:15 PM
I said it ended too quickly for its popularity to be major, not that it ended too quickly at all. Man, that was overdramatic.

Also, I think MAR has 16 volumes. 12 are released in America. The anime will finish 8 episodes in two days.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: MasterKeyX on April 27, 2007, 07:51:13 AM
Actually, most Manga's don't have over 10 volumes, most. Only the really good ones have over like 10. Manga kinda fades in and out of popularity very quickly...
Title: Re:Best Anime?

I also think Case Closed was a good manga/anime. So does ZV.
Title: Re:Best Anime?
Post by: Fishalicious on April 28, 2007, 05:47:48 PM
Loveless for sure. But it's kind of new (at least, in America, the DVDs didn't come out until last year.) so I don't expect a lot of people to know of it. It is also shounen-ai, but only if you look at it in that way, it's a confusing series in that way.

(I doubt if anyone even knows what Loveless is; Wikipedia it if you wish. (By the way, my avatar is from the series.))

Second place comes The Legend of Zelda, I mean, god, how can you not love that series?! [/sarcasm]

No, seriously, I prefer the manga, but... I think Sukisyo(also new, not even translated, I think xD;) and Gravitation are cool, as well as Peace-Maker Kurogane (another confusing series, if you go by the manga(which are now canceled thanks to ADV films trying to translate manga...))

I voted Rurouni Kenshin, it was my first series and I still love it so. ^w^; FLYING UMBRELLA ATTACK, MITSERUGI STYLE! (I'm such a dork, hur)
Title: Re:Best Anime?

Well, the American series is half way through the entire one. Also, from what I here, the amnga ending sucked so the anime added 5 extra episodes.

Kurama, the person of two bodies. (Yoko Kurama, the demon fox and Shiuchi Miyamato or whatever, the human possessed by the fox)

Yu Yu Hakusho was good, about at Naruto's level, just a little less. I'll say this, though: I prefered the Yu Yu Haksuho characters drawings over the Naruto ones. The Naruto characters drawings are just a little too unrealistic.

I wish more people would like MAR.  :'(

Oh just because I thought you all might be interested and I'm curious about what you all like: I was thinking of starting poll topics on best anime openings and endings... so can you all nominate some so I can make the poll? And I'm doing the openings topic first.

Might I suggest the second opening of Bleach:

I do like that opening, but I counter with:

Lucky Star! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uUdmtxcBiE)

You thought I'd counter with Loveless (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRpLi93249w), didn't you? ...Well, yeah, I was thinking it, but it was too obvious. Plus I feel like dancing.

Uh... but isn't this for when the topic is created? D:

I nominate the opening to Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Second GiG. (Second season)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=I_7f_tv22VM

AWESOME song.

"I'm a soldier, and that means
that I'm both defendant and Judge
I stand on both lines of the fire..."

That's from the actual translated opening on the DVD. The subtitles aren't an accurate translation on youtube...
Title: Re:Best Anime?

It's super special awesome.

Bleach still defeats it however.

And for the opening themes thing I am going with Fisk and "Motteko! Sailor Fuku" the opening theme to Lucky Star!
It's on my iPod and I know the dance!
I Loves it soo much.

Since Fisk's video is gone, here's another link to the Lucky Star Opening:

here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb0lFnwb0RQ)

I also want to mention that I think that the person who sang the opening to Ghost in the Shell isn't Japanese, but a European group, probably German. She's using syllables that don't even exist in Japanese culture commonly, and they most likely are German syllables. Not that it matters, but it's rare to find non-Japanese anime opening singers.

I actually hated it, even compared to the Lucky Star intro.

And we're discussing anime intros, not anime music. Please post your favorite anime intro. We already have Lucky Star, the 2nd opening of Bleach, and the "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex" Opening.

It's not dying! I rezed it at the last second  ;)

And thanks to WhoCares for putting all the nominations in one post- it saves my lazy self from going back and writing it all down. Oh yea and that link you posted for Lucky Star is gone too.... I'm not exactly sure if I found the right song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViEH57xQu1c
but anyways its pretty catchy. Not like you could sing Japanese fast enough with them, but its cool.

I nominate Rewrite from Fullmetal Alchemist (I think the 4th opening?).
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hbQsnekRQHk

and Yura Yura http://youtube.com/watch?v=91irzfwSY60
(9th opening from Naruto and another opening for Bleach I think)
*watches as everyone picks YuraYura because it had the word Naruto next to it*  ;)

Link for Bleach "D-TechnoLife" 2nd Opening http://youtube.com/watch?v=kg25ascSP8c and Serial Experiments Lain http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Serial%2BExperiments%20Lain%20o/video/xzmf8_serial-experiments-lain-op

Someone please confirm that http://youtube.com/watch?v=I_7f_tv22VM is the Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex one too.

Need two more nominations! (?)
