Hey, are there any other anime-geeks out there? I love watching anime. My current favorites are "Neon Genesis Evangelion," "Serial Experiments Lain," and "Haibane Renmei." Has anyone seen any of these?

I love all of them Neon Genesis EVangelion was one of my major perseverations for a few years. My favorite character is Asuka, and I especially find her issues with her mother and dolls interesting.

It's funny that Asuka is your favorite, because mine's the complete opposite- Rei. I see a lot of her character in myself, and she also seems rather AS-like to me (though her behavior is more likely due to her origins and upbringing). Rei is one of my current "obsessions," along with AS. I also loved the movie, as well (I haven't been able to see Death and Rebirth, but I own End of Evangelion), for me, without it the series would not be nearly so epic. However, unlike most people, I also really enjoyed the last two "introspective" episodes- I love character development and psychology, so it was right up my alley, so to speak.

The movies Death and rebirth are VERY GOOD but they take away the happy ending seen in show the movies are also come with a commentary from the person who plays rei and her husband (you will be blown away when you hear about her you need to see the movies!! !! !! !! !! !! !

For a couple of years, I was completely obsessed with Lain, as well. Now, it's petered off into a mild interest. God freaked me out, to be honest, though his relationship with Lain was very intrigueing to me.

Haibane Renmei is an amazing series, and if you're able to get your hands on it, I highly recommend it. It's very slow and meandering, but the ending will definitely make the series for you. Also, as I said before, I love character development, and this show is all about that, as well as the world the Haibane exist in.

my daughter sleeps, eats, and drinks anime....
she is a great artist and is always drawing........ hum.............anime.....
an obsession.
she currently is getting things ready for an anime convention that will be next year in pittsburg, pa. She will be making her costumes....

Heheh, I'm a bit the same way. Though I'm very picky about which series I watch. I don't have the patience for a lot of things.

I've been to two anime conventions (Anime Boston, both years), I went with a group of friends both times for just a day. It was all right, I am not good at socializing so I mainly go because I get to dress up, and to see other people's costumes. I also love the anime music videos, which we unfortunately missed last time. Hopefully the convention she is going to has a better schedule than the one in Boston did, because that made it a very irritating situation for me (not knowing what was happening when, not being able to plan the day). Does she know anyone else who is going? It would probably be good for her to get together with them if she does, because it'll probably be a lot more fun that way. What costumes is she making?

Fruits Basket

Nausicaa
Excel Saga

I've seen these, as well, and I liked them a lot. I haven't seen all of Excel Saga, it did weird things to my brain, and I had to stop watching it, heheh.

Have you seen Hayoa Miyazaki's other movies? He made Nausicaa, but he also made many other great films, like Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke), Spirited Away, Totoro, and Kiki's Delivery Service (he made others, too, but these are my favorites). Grave of the Fireflies is also excellent, but extremely depressing.

If you have comcast digital cable...go to channel 001 and scroll down to the cateragory The Cutting Edge. Then you go to the Anime Network.

Ah, unfortunately, I don't have digital cable, so I can't get the anime network. I wish I did, though!

Quote:

It kinda made me embrace the dubbing a bit more since the V-Actors work hard to do the voices as well as they can.

Yes, it is pretty hard. I watched some extras on my Spirited Away DVD, and they describe how you have to match the timing of the animation's mouth movement, so I can see how that might cause awkward pauses or weird ways of saying things. In American animation, they always do the voices first, and match the character's mouth movements to the actor's. Sometimes (like in Disney) the character design is also affected by the voice actor's appearance.

I'm no anime maven but I appreciate the art form, in part because my brother happens to be an anime artist. If you're curious, his site is:

Cool, I will have to check it out. It looks nice from what I've seen so far.

Quote:

Yep, I think Evangelion is probably one of the best known animes out there, and it definitely deserves the attention it gets. Lain, unfortunately, is often ignored. It's one of those things that you either love or you hate, I think.

Animefreak, why did you quote that entire passage in your last message? I'm not upset, just confused.

Yes, I know the ending is completely different, since I've seen End of Evangelion (which I both loved and hated- I loved it because it was amazing in every respect, and hated it because of what Anno did to the characters- I think every fan probably feels that way, too). I'm interested now in seeing Death and Rebirth with the commentary, is it serious, or is it funny, like the commentary in End of Eva? I find Amanda Winn Lee hilarious (voice of Rei, Yui, and Penpen), especially since she plays such a quiet and withdrawn character. Hearing her crack all those crazy jokes is ten times more funny because of that.

Oh, I LOVE Miyazaki's films!! Mononoke Hime is my favorite....i just LOVE the art! Grave of the Fireflies is a very very depressing movie...and Seita went through all of that to try to save Setsuko....and she passed just when he had all that food!! !! :cry: Yes, I saw the extras on my dvd as well. I also talked with Vic Mignonga (sp....) and Greg Ayres at the Anime convention and I learned a lot about the profession...so even though I like sub better, dub is beginning to catch my eye....it is fun to look at the credits for once and say "Oh my god!! I didn't know that >name< did his voice too!! Holy Sh**! !" lol, but I'm weird, so I would like stuff like that! ^,^;; Yes, Excel Saga does a number on you! >rubbing head to try and fix the love for Lord Illipilazzo (sp???)< (ALL HAIL LORD ILLIPILAZZO!! !)

Actually, Teen Titans isn't an Anime, but rather an American Cartoon with an Anime makeover. It is still a good american show and another good american anime-like show is Megas XLR.

....v.v...I still like the Original Pokemon. (You know, when they still had Brock? Wayyyy before Tracy.) They ruined the show with all the new things....

Totally spies isn't that bad....I mean...I could watch it if that is the ONLY possible thing on.

No, lol. I LOVE Sailormoon...in Japanese. The dubbing is horrible!! (ie: Haruka and Michiru--aka: Amara and Michelle-- Cousins? are they TRYING to promote incest?) I own the Stars series (the one that they didn't mess up by dubbing) It is a great show and I went to Tekkoshocon as Sailor Uranus. But...when they had it playing on Cartoon Network they made it seem like a childrens show, when really, it is much more than that!!
