I love anime. My faves are:

Escaflowne - wonderful epic of romance and action.

Excel Saga - Hilarious parady show.

Jubei Chan - very funny show about a girl with a mysterious lovely eyepatch.

Macross - Classic sci-fi still going strong nearly 20 years later.

Moldiver - Nice little 6 part comedy series.

Photon: The Idiot Adventures - Hilarious 6 part series featuring one the best bad guys ever. Papachareeno Nanadan: The stupidest baddie ever.

Oh! Super Milkchan - Completely bonkers and surreal.

Tenchi Muyo - classic story of a guy living with several girls who all want him :D

Rurouni Kenshin - A truly epic series, spanning 96 episodes and 4 OAVs. Great samurai tales.

Some fave feature films:

Akira - classic cult sci-fi.

Ghost in the Shell - great story and action, another classic.

My Neighbor totoro
Kiki's Delivery Service - two wonderful Ghibli animations for all the the family.

have u watched it? I have it on CDs but havent go the time to watch it yet. I saw the opening and the animation looks lice. I like the heroine's attire - very sexy. hehehe

Niko2x: Hey, if u have a choice of dsl, check which one offers binary newsgroups. My dsl only offers text newsgroup so i dont have access to those alt.binaries.* where u can get japanese/anime series. If there's a provider that offers it, that's a better deal ^_^

nope. i didnt watch it. but my sis did. and she likes it a lot. lotsa fight scenes in there.. she enjoyed the adventure.. ;)
heroine's sexy attire?? lol.. :hehe:

Oh yeah, damn, it's too late already. I sign on for a yr using verizon yesterday. They said it'll take a week to activate account. But I'm fairly picky with what series I get, I'll get the stuff I want, not what everyone has. Thx for the lookout arney, about the virus protection as well. I'll go to that other thread to reply tomorrow b/c I'm still waiting for other's input.

i need some comment on these anime:

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water
Super GALS! Kotobuki Ran
Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto
Naruto

which one should i buy?
thank you. :mrgreen:

i've finished mahou tsukai ni taisetsu no koto and its good. Not much actions, its more of a drama-genre anime.

Nadia is good but a bit old so the animation is a bit dated. Havent finished the story yet, just the first half.

Super Gals is funny and I like the first eps. but its not one of those I would want to watch more than once.

Naruto is good, I like it but it might be a bit expensive to buy since its not yet licensed. R2 dvds are quite steep and no english subs.

Aside from Naruto, these arent really the ones I tend to collect. The ones I like to collect are of the action variety - Noir, Rahxephon, FMP, X, etc. Probably naruto when its licensed and if it comes in a nice artbox.

FMP is one of the best...the first series that is...the second series is different. rahxephon reminded me a bit of evangelion...hmmm...
didn't like noir...caught a few episodes and could not catch my interest...

my harddisk just crashed...:( my downloaded animes are wiped out...slowly rebuilding it. but will watch full metal alchemist, tsukihime, read or die and prince of tennis...

macross zero is excellent...the only downside is that it is 5 instead of 3...so that means err...another one plus year to go...argh!!!

yeah u are right. Nadia really look outdated. dont really like the animation.

i think i'm gonna get mahou tsukai ni taisetsu no koto and Super GALS! Kotobuki Ran.

thanks^^

Watched another lovely Ghibli's movie, My Neighbors the Yamadas, last night. A very entertaining family movie about the unusual family of the Yamadas and their everyday life in the society. The story consists of the mini episodes which last 5-15 mins. The drawing style is very comical ("less detailed"), kinda unusual at the beginnig but as I watched further, my opinion changed toward the movie. At the end I liked the style.
Another great anime movie! *highly recommend*
Btw anyone got the ost?

Mine just crashed a few weeks ago too. A 120 gig 90% filled with animes, Western digital, all data lost :nut:

man
sorry for u..
thata a nightmare :shakehead:

yeah, its scary.
i think the chances go up if u have ur hd on 24/7 like mine since hds can only last a certain number of hours (its the mtbf rating).
I got an 80gb that's like 2 yrs old already so i use that for temp and current downloads. That way, if it goes down, chances are the files i have there r still available on the net.

ok i have you beat on this issue: 20 gig hard drive came with my comp about 3-4 years ago i leave my comp on 24/7 and still hasn't crashed :love_eyes:
I never realized how little 20 gigs is until i stopped paying for shit and got dsl :naughty:

See, this is why i use multiple hard drives and archive shows to dvd-r after so many eps :sweat:

Just got a new 160gb hd to go along side my 120,40 and 2x 80s (in 2 pcs)

Sorry to hear to about the incident. Got a 20GB HD as well, which has worked perfectly since the bought of the comp, another 80GB HD has served well for 1,5 years. My recommendation is avoid Maxtor and IBM HDs, they have stained their names at crashing cases back then. Seagate all the way ;)

I was wondering.. how do u split the HD?

I just finished watching the anime Spiral ~Bond of Inference. Hai.. I have to say the first 24 episode was good, but the ending SUCKS! :mad: Had no ending at all. I thought the story was okay.. the characters are pretty cool. Pls.. if you're watching this anime, be prepared that there will be more questions than answers.

Use Fdisk or XP's disc management, haven't used em. The easiest way to split the HD is to install Partition Magic
www.powerquest.com. Easy to manage and comprehend, a one button click does the split. You can copy, merge and split the partitions :D. Safest way to split the HD I'd say. *highly recommend*

Evangelion...anyone? :rolleyes:
