I don't know why everybody wants to compare the two though. Aside from the fact that they're both sci-fi, they don't really have that much in common.

I have not seen it but Matsamune Shirow is a god. Indeed, although he did'nt direct the ghost in the shell film, it was asmazing(not saying he was'nt curcially envolved in it-wich he was) Apple seed was really good too. but i love his manga the most, the ghost in the shell maga is really really ...really good. I need to get the appleseed mangas and interon depot me thinks! speaking of ghost in the shell. You know that scene where kusanagi is fighting the 'puppet' in the water with the optic camo, just how cool was that! beautiful animation. tres cool. so yeah, i ordered eps 1-26 of bebop and eps 1-26 of stand alone complex. with postage to the uk i think it came to about $95. I'l tell ya when it gets here.

I haven't watched Outlaw Star before, but it looks promising. The music is one of the main driving force behind bebop, its amazing. i love the opening theme, tank, and that tune mushrooooom huntiiiiing' Originally posted by wu_konguk:

The story line goes into the realms of insanity though and its a bit hard to follow iin bits. I love the way its written, the way shirow thinks about everything in such detail. The manga is filled with notes explaining how things work and why they are there etc... for example 'This is not a light fixture but a special device that ensures the micromachines are deposited uniformly.'

Originally posted by luvnpeese: Ummm, what does everyone think of FLCL? Their music is awesome before you kill it by overlistening, like me. I am such a great run-on sentence writer. Yeah, everyone seems to like FLCL. We even have a FLCL thread. Apparently we can have a seperate thread for FLCL, but not one for InuYasha. *Glares at Nurdbot.*

Originally posted by luvnpeese: Yeah, and it's only like 2 episodes a disc! Exactly. FLCL is only six episodes long, and it gets its own thread. InuYasha has over 140 episodes, and it's still going. Even if you've only seen the first 52 episodes shown on Cartoon Network, that's still a lot more episodes than FLCL or Cowboy Bebop, which also has its own thread. I'm willing to follow whatever arbitrary rules the mods have about what threads we can and can't have, but it would be nice if there was some rhyme or reason behind it. Inuyasha has some pretty good music, like the ones by Do As Infinity. Agreed. It's a shame that Cartoon Network only plays the ending theme music, and not the opening theme music as well. I guess they feel that they need that time for their inane commercial bumper cards. Originally posted by Nurdbot: *Throws a brick at David*
I don't like it. 'Nuff said. *Dodges brick.* Y'know Nurdbot, considering how much you complain about the lack of Japanese culture in anime, I'm surprised that you don't like InuYasha. If you ignore the time-travel, magic, and demons, the setting is a fairly accurate portrayal of the warring states period. A lot of the demons and such are inspired by Japanese folklore and mythology as well.

Love HinaNow admitidly I have nto seen the specails and the OVA so I do not know how this really ends yet but as I a sereis I feel I a can pass judgement. Well if you can see the pic I found, then you may be wondering why I choose such a picture. Well because I think it sums up the series pretty well. One big fan service. Ok on the series. Well it's quite good but I did feel like it was borrowing alot of stuff from other anime. To me it seemed like they took the girls from Tenchi and mixed around with their personalities and put an Ed like character in just for good measure. Apart from that little niggle i have, the characterisation is quite good. Although as I will say latter I felt that some episodes added nothing. Now before I get to the story lets' stay with the aethstetics. Like most modern anime, the animation is quite crisp and it uses vibrant colours. All in all it looks very pretty, oh and they love to put mist everywhere. Now as for the story. Well it your usual, a helpless student ends up sharing a house with a buch of attractive women and they each start falling for him in some way. Of course this is hardly an orginal idea but it is done fairly well so it's alright. The major problem I had was that many of the episdoes seemd to add next to nothing in terms of plot or characterisation. When they did do episodes with plot and characteristion it works really well. I definitly felt that they could of done without some of the episodes and extended the ending episodes with a few mpre episodes, which could of built on some of the themes that were sneaking in. One thing that did strike me (or didn't while I was watching) was the music. While there is some great anime music out there, this si not the place to find it. The score for the whole piece is quite weak. I realise that most of this review seems quite negative but I did like Love Hina. It is jsut I am aware that it could of been so much more than it let itself be. It is a fun little series and if you get the chance then I recomend you watch it. I will give this a respectible B

Originally posted by nagrub: How'd you know about em, do ya have em? And i knew they wre a bit dodgy, i mean the whole series for $30. So are they illegal, the site's selling illegal goods? pssssssst* dont tell anyone, they're cheep! You're talking to an asian. Of course I have bootlegs. Actually, I would have gotten R1 DVDs if not for my lack of credit cards (or money for that matter) and the lack of quality original import anime. Anyway, here are tips on how to detect bootleg anime externally. - cost, obviously. (>30% cheaper than originals) - more than 5 eps per disc. - multi region encoding. - company name. (Anime, Anime Int, Manga, FX, etc) That's all I can think of right now.

Texan? Ew. I've hated that place since Bush Senoir.
Does anyone have a filesharing software (Not Kazaa) that can download anime and other video files? Make it a good one with no spy-ware.
