Its not like that Ghost in the Shell on cartoon network....I think cartoon network aired a Ghost in the Shell serie....but i thought it was garbage :bleh:

I like Ghost in the Shell, both movie and series. The series might be a little "dry" for some folks taste, it gets complicated enough that they have to do a fair amount of talky exposition at times. But I liked it. It's not completely brainless like most SF anime. As being speculative fiction depicting futuristic cybernetics, it's really pretty cool.

That's cool.

That's what I like about Anime vs. the animated stuff made here in the States: it's not about cutesy, street-wise, wise-cracking animals, but about more serious, thought-provoking issues... :thumbsup:

Didnt realize you were an anime fan too, Beemer. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I have to agree with you sadly. Animation is hugely limtied in the States.
And a story like Hana Yori Dango is hard to imagine being done here with all its soft abstract backgrounds.
Is HYD anyone else's favorite? :woot: :woot:

Wow, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is one of my most favorite anime shows ever. Garbage is a harsh word.

Yikes! You may need to have a few repeat viewings. It took me about three to start pinning down all the philisophical under pinnings to the show. Reading the manga helped.

Sure am. I can really appreciate the artwork too, since I used to be an art major. :sweat:

Love the stuff from Studio Ghibli. It's not just anime, but legitimate movies like Casablanca, The Godfather, Singin' in the Rain, etc... :thumbsup:

Calm down, bud, I'm not gonna send over a death squad if the movie tanks from my viewpoint... :hehe:

gits movie and gits innocence is okay; but i actually prefer the tv series gits stand alone complex.

Not favorite, but I did like it a lot. It's an oldie but goodie. Like Maison Ikokku. Too few animes these days have really good stories and characters like that.

[quote ]I should have said "a favorite" :mrgreen:
Thats what Ive found recently. In these last couple years nothing like HYD, Fruits BAsket or Kare Kano have come out. :puppydog: :shamefulcry:
And while I love a good fighting anime, there's nothing like a great drama!! :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: .[/quote]
Of course there is also nothing quite like Kenshin!!

My bad for using the word "garbage"....i jus didn't find it all that great

Do you mean Kenshin? :confused: or another anime?

I think if Kenshin isnt watched from the first episode straight on through it is hard to truly appreciate. Of course the fansubbed version was hugely superior to the commercial dvds.
:shakehead: :shakehead:

Crazy fan of Gundams. Been watching very darn Universal Century and Alternate Century series since young. Now the latest is SEED Destiny I believe. Hoping that at least for once, a U.C. series will come out... (enough of the A.C. series already!~)

Initial D, Evangelion, Bleach, Trigun, Peacemaker Kurogane, Sentou Yousei Yukikaze, Soukyuu No Fafner, Macross, Onegai Twins... mostly boyish jap animes. :P

Just hoping that Wangan Midnight would be out on the animation scenes man. Great racing manga...

Hi guys is it alright if im gonna post this lovehina wallpaper? :mrgreen:

I was talkin bout the Ghost In the Shell serie on Cartoon Network. I saw all of Kenshin, everything of it. I was really into this anime, it was great
