Last Anime You Watched 2.0 - Page 12

Angantyr · 10-17-2006, 04:41 AM

The other day I was watched the first half of DBZ: Majin Buu Saga (Collection 5, part 1) as it was the only saga I never watched entirely, it was good but not as much as much as the Frieza or Cell Saga.

Just finished watching the first DVD of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, I found the boxed set for a mere $75 and they used to play Gundam Seed on Adult Swim which I thought was pretty good so I decided to check it out. Watched the first 5 episodes and I was quite impressed, has that older generation apperance but still good to watch.

Fruits Basket, Episodes 1-24

Was bored and decided to watch it again, forgot how much I love the series. ^^ Really entertaining, and it has a lot of heart too. Too bad the dub sucks, I can't read subtitles with a headache. :/ The spa hostess is creepy, and so is her son. >.>; Not as creepy as Kyo, though. I won't spoil that part.

Great series, I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys anime.

I'm going to list the Anime I've watched within the last couple weeks, with RATINGS, HURRAY!

Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture

+Great Action
+Solid Animation
+Great Portrayal of Exisitng SNK characters
+Fanservice

-Silly plot
-Non-canon characters are "meh"
-Fanservice is a little over the top at parts

A fun action movie, I'm really glad to have watched now that I'm a full blown SNK fan. Although the original characters leave a lot to be desired. 3/5

Midori Days

+Midori's so Lovable
+Nice romance, with a solid ending.
+For a "simple story" has great Animation
+Nice "We're not Afraid to show it" Fanservice.

-Drags a little in the middle
-Short (only 13 Episodes)
-Ending could've used a LITTLE more work.

Unlike Chobits, I feel like Midori Days doesn't try to to add any complex metaphors or conepts, it's just a straight forward romance. I wish it could've been a little more detailed and conclusive in the ending, but that's just nitpicking, as it finsihes up far better than Chobits and THAT series was twice in length 4/5

Samurai Spirits 2 OVA

+Great characters
+Great Fight/Action sequences
+Interesting story and surprisingly conclusive for being...

-...Only two episodes
-Only a small handful of SS characters appear
-Lack of game knowledge may inhibit plot for some.

This is very similar to the KoF Another Day OAV, it's incredibly short, but very enertaining and interesting. It's hard to find though. 3/5

Nakoruru OVA

+Beautiful visuals and sound
+Nakoruru fanservice
+Promising plot

-Only 1 Episode and it's NOT complete

Such a shame, THIS series would've been great because it starts out with an interesting plot (Nakoruru's Split personality, Romance, and an evil plague), but it goes nowhere. Should've been a TV series. Unlike the SS2 OVA, you don't really need knowledge of the game to know what's going on. It's still worth watching if you can find it. 3/5

Freakazoid (TV Rip)

+Brilliant Comedy
+Great Characters
+Catchy Theme Song

-Second season a little weaker than the first (nitpicking)
-Cancelled too early
-Humor may be a little forced at times

A classic series, not Anime I know, and one of the big 3 series Spielberg helmed in the mid 90s (along with Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain). There's plenty of great humor here although sometimes I think it tries to be a little forceful sometimes. But it's just so classic. And I've been whistling the Theme song at work lately. 5/5

Melancholy of Harumi...

+Loveable characters
+Slick Animation
+Interesting concept

-Story really goes nowhere
-Unsatisfying ending

Harumi is a really mixed bag, I'd reccommend it highly just for the characters. The sad thing is it starts out with an interesting concept similar to the live action movie KPax or the more obscure Happy Accidents, yet sadly, I was disappointed to see this plot go nowhere. 3/5

Well there it is

rainbow chronicler · 11-10-2006, 06:36 AM

Heck, this question will really dig out the animes inside me........

Harukanaru toki no naka de

)

Cloud_Strife17 · 11-20-2006, 07:21 PM

I think the last anime I watched was either zoids or The Final Fantasy anime forgot the name. I wished they still played zoids(ep 1-4), and If they do and I dont know about it, some could tell me plz.

Kaiser Dragoon · 11-21-2006, 04:07 PM

Watching Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase (fan sub)
It's about a young Japanese vampire (Hazuki/Luna) who finally finds her way to escape the haunted castle where she resides through a rookie photographer (Kouhei) for a supernatural magazine.

Pros:
Entertaining plot
Humorous and serious when need be
Good character plot
Addictive (heh)

Cons:
The strange intro throws a lot of people

Overall 8/10
Good Anime if you want something a little more light hearted, but isn't really close to some of the other comedic Animes, but is still quite worth the watch, if you can get past the weird intro.

The last anime I've watched up to date is DearS episodes 1-12 (all of them up to now I think)... It's... Odd to say the least. Very well animated, and I didn't think it was bad or anything. But... Yeah, I think I'm going to shut up now.

**Andromeda** · 12-10-2006, 04:07 PM

I doubt I could go through all of the anime that I watched since the last time that I posted in the thread. But definitely the most recent.

I just finished watching all of Zeta Gundam, I found it at Best Buy a while back and finally decided to pick it up when it was a really low price. I got all 50 episodes for about $50, which it is pretty much a steal when it comes to anime, especially when you aren't buying it online. Zeta Gundam I dare say is better than the original MS Gundam. Gundam Wing will still be my favorite, but Zeta Gundam was amazing to watch. The only down side is that it was not really complete, there is still Double Zeta Gundam which is not licensed yet. Though it is apparently a lot more light hearted than Zeta, which is incredibly depressing and sad at times. The phrase that MS Gundam always had "Who will survive?" I think would have been more suited for Zeta. I can't remember all of the people that died in the show that all have reoccuring roles.

I also watched Char's Counterattack again since I had finished Zeta and it comes several years after.

I got the last three episode of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki. While I still have troubles with the new VA for some of the characters and the aged tone of the rest it was still the same Tenchi Muyo! more or less. I wish that they had not tried to new age it up. I think that it would have done better if they tried to emulate the animation style from the original. It is a sequel or continuation of the show, even ten year later it would be nice to at least try to make it seem like it is. But in usual Tenchi tradition the only episodes that are important are the last one or two, the rest are just develop or filler with little purpose in the overall skem of things. In this case, it is the last episode only that is important that deals with Warrior Z. It is a good episode and the only one that I really care about, but the other two are fine as well just not so important. You finally understand more about what Tenchi is and Tsunami, Washu and Tokimi the three goddess.

Aside from that I picked up more FMA and have been showing it to my dad, who is now caught up on all the episodes that I own sadly. I had been doing such a good job keeping up with him and now I have to go find the rest of the episodes to show him. I watched episodes 33-44 with him.

Beyond that I have learned that I have more anime than room to hold. I bought shelves for all of the DVDs I own and well they are susposed to hold 150 total and I filled that up and then some. And I also do not have regular sized cases, I have box set, thin packs and double cased standard DVD cases. So when it all boils down to it, if you are counting individual DVDs I am nearing 200 if you are counting cases I probably have around 150. Until I finish my FMA collection Zeta Gundam shall be my longest anime I own and in the smallest space. It has two DVDs per case, normal case and 5 episodes per disc, so 10 per case and 5 cases for 50 episodes, pretty compact. It would only be smaller if you put it into a thin pack.

The Last Anime I watched was something about bikes. Its new,(I Think) I forgot the name though its pretty good

*Bryan* · 12-12-2006, 05:48 PM

The last anime that I watched was the first episode of FLCL. I'm still a bit confused about what I watched, but I want to see the rest of them. Is that wrong? Is that normal?

I'm just glad that it isn't as off the wall as Excel Saga. Woah. That series is crazy as all hell.

AVALANCE member · 12-26-2006, 02:31 AM

Naruto ep. 1-38

Kibamaru · 12-26-2006, 07:34 AM

I've recently finished Coyote Ragtime Show. It's one of the very good shows to be released in 2006...sadly it's only 12 episodes long cos I think it has the potential to be a hit.

Think the plot of searching for a legendary treasure in One Piece, + rogues/bounty hunters in a small ship in space like Cowboy Bebop, and you get Coyote Ragtime Show.

Cloud Strife X · 01-01-2007, 03:10 PM

Technically, the last anime I watched was "Fist Of The North Star", but I quit after about ten minutes, as it kinda sucked balls, and made me want to watch Mad Max again instead. Who knows, maybe I should give it another chance someday, let it grow on me, and all that.

The last anime that I actually finished was "Elfen Lied", which kicked ass, if only because i'm a big fan of anything that has gratuitous amounts of blood and gore in it. The story was good too, but the ending was a bit sudden. Still, it was worth watching.

SSJ4 Goku · 01-02-2007, 11:50 PM

In the past few days, I've watched:

-Speed Grapher eps. 1-10
-Witch Hunter Robin eps. 1-9
-Hellsing Ultimate OVA 1

Speed Grapher seems rather interested and it quickly captured my interest and has left me wanting more. The last episode I watched was rather intense, and I must get together with my friend sometime soon so I can continue on with the series (as the DVDs are his).

Witch Hunter Robin I watched a few years ago on Cartoon Network, and another friend of mine just bought the boxed set, so I've been re-watching it with him (though he never saw the series, save for a few random episodes on CN). It's a really underrated show and I'm enjoying it once again. At first, I thought I only remembered a few episodes, but almost every episode we've watched has eventually called back some memories of mine from when I first saw it. Once again, it's quite underrated and is actually a great series, so I'd gladly recommend it to anyone interested in getting into something new.

Finally, I've seen the first episode of the Hellsing OVA before, but, as I like purchasing things I like (and I certainly like the Hellsing anime and manga, so the OVA series is certainly something I shall be investing in, too), and it was quite enjoyable to watch. The special edition is loaded with interviews and trailers and such, and I can't wait to watch those, too (yes, I'm a big sucker for DVD extras, especially when it comes to anime). But with regards to the OVA, it's pure bliss for anyone who's reading the manga. Don't get me wrong--I still love the anime series and I still regard it rather highly, but the manga's just that much more incredible, and knowing that this OVA series is going to be based off of it just makes me really impatient to see some of the later manga stuff to be animated.
