>sees list Also samurai 7 is an insult to one of the greatest films ever made. Dont waste the time in your life watching it. Of those shows I think the only one I have both seen and enjoyed to any degree was speed grapher. Kind of a rediculous show but it was entertaining. If you can get your hands on planetes, kinos journey or area 88 those are my vote. |

i dunno of those are on the US netflix, in which case i can "jailbreak" my canadian one. all my buddies around tell me either FMA, Samurai 7, or trinity blood. FMA seems kinda cool, but the artwork seems kinda... i dunno how to put it, juvenile for lack of a better word. this is why mushi-shi is appealing, it seems deep, complex, and mature, which is really what im looking for also: inb4 salem... NO edit: my apologies for the lengthy list guys. i was surprised to see it so long really; i didnt think the selection would be as broad... albeit i think a few of those inclusions can be ommitted.

^About ghost hound: Wonderful for the first half, horrible for the 2nd, especially the ending. Seinen supernatural psychological horror turned into shounen shit. Made me rage since I was enjoying it so much. But yeah, it seems I'm one of the few who really ended up disappointed like this so you can still give it a good shot. I didn't regret watching it anyway. In order that you put in the list: -Mushi-shi is the best of that list. Don't be surprised that there's not much of a story but it simply depicts the encounters of prot and how events unfold. It's one of the best slower paced animes I've seen, and there are mind-fuck elements to it (not every arc/story, but some are straight in the horror domain). -DtB, it's okay but I didn't really find it particularly great. Has a good ost (Yoko Kanno ofc), don't remember much of the plot. -Last Exile, a good show; know a lot of people who've loved it (people with good tastes). I've seen about 7 episodes of it, recently had my second attempt at watching it and it ended up unsuccessful. It's nice but I just can't get into it at all 1: Plot is the most interesting with the nice art and OP song, but I think the problem I have with it is how it unfolds or its pace. -Basilisk, had one volume of the manga and it was pretty lawl (doubt the anime is as mature though, manga tend to have more liberty with gore and such). Never bothered to look for more of it nor watch the anime though, but maybe it's actually good, think I had mainly forgotten about it entirely. Plot wasn't exceptional for what I had read of it. -Gunslinger Girl, heard good things of it and yeah girls+guns is always an epic mix. -Kaze no Stigma, heard that it gives a 'predictable/cliche' aspect but ends up being great. Haven't seen it. -Moribito, like the previous, haven't seen but it's supposedly great. -D.gray-man, don't know how the anime is, the manga was great for quite a while. Lenalee, hnnng legs, and even though twintails are tsundere tradition, she's better with short hair. Shounen in how it progresses, but has darker elements included which were quite good. -XXXHolic, the characters art/form is eugh at first, but other than that it wasn't bad. Didn't like it more than that though. There are far better in the same genre (kid who's one of the few who can see supernatural elements or spirits, case by case progression, etc). -Tokyo Godfathers, movie by Kon Satoshi (RIP) and it was very good (one of his more 'tame' works). I'd recommend Paprika or Millenium Actress by the same director instead. OST isn't by Susumu Hirasawa (he worked on the other two titles though), which is nonsensical as those two are an epic duo. Plot is nice, it's a more realistic anime and the pace might be hard to get into for the start, still my least favorite of the three. Recognize some other titles but I either only know of them by name or don't remember what I had read of them. Again, favorite of this list was Mushishi. If you don't like the pace of the first 2-3 episodes you could consider dropping it since it sticks to being like that for the entire show. It's either love or hate it I guess. |

Dont give us that BS. FMA is faaar Better then the new Brotherhood nonsense. Brother hood ( first 15 eps are the same as the original but are much worst. )the series went by the original Manga and took the generic Anime route of the OP final bad guy who just became a god, stood around and then died. Happy endings boom the end. Overly clean PC drawings and too much "humor" added to it. The man bad guys throughout the series, Lust, greed,envy and ect were dumbed down soo much. the original series gave them much more meaning. Plus all of the eps of it are not even on netflixs. The original has the entire series on there. Ghost in the Shell is also on netflixs, naruto, some bleach ( i hate bleach ). Death note A few other ones but most of them i have no urge to bother seeing. While I'm at it The original Full Metal prob has one of the best Anime stories out there because it goes in the Complete opposite Direction then 90% of most animes go in.If it was a Book instead of an anime or Manga I bet you anything it would have gotten a ton of awards and movies. Theres virtually no Asian influence in it and actually questions the world around us without doing the whole

Mushishi is the best of the list, rewatching it for the third time or so right now. Darker than Black is just awesome, even bought the discs as they were released. Soul Eater is enjoyable but you should screw the end and read the Manga afterwards. Haven't watched the rest or dropped it after 2-3 Episodes (Basilisk D:). Otherwise: thats my Animelist, I basically recommend everything rated 8 or higher :p |

Last Exile was quite enjoyable. I really like Tokyo Godfathers, but I like just about everything from Satoshi Kon and studio Madhouse. Paranoia Agent, Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue, Paprika... FMA was good. I hear Brotherhood is the better of the two, though I've never seen that version. Desert Punk...eh, it's enjoyable I guess. Something to watch if you're bored. There are a bunch of others. If I had the full list I could probably recommend more to you. I believe Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo is available, that's a good one. |

lmao you guys kidding me? Brotherhood was the most generic Anime of them all. it basically took anything that had meaning from the first one and threw it around. if anything They dumbed the series down. The stone had no purpose because everyone had one. The homunculi were rendered into generic and completely uninteresting henchmen.The Ending was completely bland with the big bad guy who just STOOD THERE doing nothing for 5 mins then he dies. if anything he had no real tie to any of the characters. the art style was thrown away for some yet again over the top anime fight scenes.Lets not forget the random ninja characters who felt completely out of place, Overly too loud and annoying. The first Series made you think, questioned the worlds view on some serious topics with Scars people. The homunculi had direct Ties to the main characters and carried a hell allot more weight. Something called Character development. The main overall Villain made more sense in a realistic world . Brotherhood tried too hard to give everyone a happy ending. Everyone could transmute without circles, everyone got what they wanted and everyone pretty much had a stone doing whatever with it. The only decent part of the show was the whole "god" bit with the truth because it went back to that serious and unknown truth the first series did. Scar in brotherhood The main group who even likes brotherhood followed the manga. Thats the flaw with the show. FMA tells a story, while brotherhood jumps from one place to another.The characters are not as deep and if anything the first series was much more refined to a maturer group while botherhood is just another anime on tv.

You don't know whiny pathetic douche until you've seen Hideo Aiba from the Sundome manga. I thought Shinji, eureka7 prot, pandora hearts prot, etc were cringe-worthy enough at their top (in a negative sense) melodramatic scenes (don't know how Ed is in FMA as I only saw Brotherhood), but this guy makes them look good. I could almost praise the mangaka for being this fearless: actually writing this without it being canceled. The reason this managed to finish was proof enough that the usual japanese manga reader, for the majority, is spineless. Don't know if it got better, dropped it. Better this way I'd like to believe. Spineless readers over there, thus melodramatic prots are accepted, tsk. Same for anime (as a good part are based on manga or VN anyway). |

And by the way, my respect for finishing something like that.

hello all, hail fellow gamers.
so, im sifting through the anime available to me via netflix, and am wondering which ones are worth watching? as follows
-Full Metal Alchemist (The most tempting--namely because i hear its pretty good, but i dunno)
-Soul Eater (Strange/different premise, but looks somewhat interesting)
-Afro Samurai (yeah, im tempted here too)
-Mushi-Shi (The art work looks astounding, and the concept is RIGHT up my alley; award winning too apparently, and looks like a mind-fuck, which i like)
-Darker Than Black (:\ looks like a mash up of the darkness videogame with witch hunter robin. that anime was good, but the darkness sucked, so im apprehensive here)
-Afro Samurai: Resurrection (will watch when/if i endeavour the series)
-Blood+ (Vampires. fuckin everywhere. looks pretty slick though)
-Trinity Blood (more vampires, so meh. BUT i here this anime is pretty solid)
-Black Blood Brothers (more vampires... lord.)
-Last Exile (the artwork looks great in this one too, and it seems fairly interesting)
-Basilisk (year 1614; ninjas; is there more to it?)
-Vandread (looks colorful and kaleidoscopic)
-Gunslinger Girl (orphaned schoolgirls+guns... sounds yummy)
-Kaze No Stigma (beats me, looks cool)
-Desert Punk (japanese version of RAGE?)
-Moribito (great looking visuals, beyond that i dont see much promise)
-Jyu-Oh-Sei (interplanetary evacuation; sci-fi--i like)
-D. Gray-man (looks unnecessary)
-Ghost Hound (This looks pretty fuckin sick; seems like a creepy one, i like the creepy)
-Witchblade (looks like... i dunno, bloodrayne meets tekken)
-Vexille (this looks pretty radical)
-Speed Grapher ("whenever he takes a picture of something, it explodes"... O RLY?)
-XXXholic (looks like a horny anime version of donnie darko. could be cool)
-Shigurui (Im down for gimpy samurai battles, how boutchu?)
-Origin: Spirits of the Past (trees hate you???)
-Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin (I sense boobies; lots of quivering boobies)
-Aquarion (it has a mech in it! and angels... who power the mech. only in anime)
-Blassreiter (This actually sounds like the rammstein song that never was)
-Burst Angel (what is this? is it good?)
-Orphen (the game wasnt TOO bad, not great, but i always said the game woulda been better as a show; question is, amiright?)
-Blue Drop (actually looks fairly interesting)
-Le Chevalier D'Eon (better not be au francais; looks decent)
-Tokyo Godfathers (I actually think i may have seen this at some point in time...)
-Dokkoida!? (!?)
