oh its not all that bad, some (if not most) of the episodes are good viewingDBZ is the worst excuse for anime I have ever had the misfortune of catching even a small portion of.
and while yes it is definately not the best anime out there its not a bad way to spend 25 minutes.anyways my top 3 anime's are:
1:Neon Genesis Evangelion (+both Movies)
the story and the way that its delivered really make it stand out.id reccomend this to anyone interested in anime
(interesting little side note:theyr planning to make a live action movie of NGE...not too sure how that'l turn out
)2:Bubblegum Crisis 2040
this is a remake of the original bubblegum crisis,also very good!
3:Ghost in The Shell
this movie really broke the mould,and really helped spread the popularity of anime around the world. Its a good movie. but there are much better animes out there today. but this is still a great movie for any anime fan (or someone starting to get into anime) to sink their teeth into

are there only 279 episodes?
Posted: 31 Aug 2003, 22:24
I haven't seen much Anime but I know that I like Ghost in the shell and Neon Genesis Evangelion though I only saw it once and cant really remember it. I saw them on DSTV Sci-Fi channel.
I'm not a big fan of DBZ and Digimon and Pokemon, but I like Zero, was an avid fan of the ROBOTECH series when it was airing on SABC. I have also seen the bubblegum crisis series but not a big fan of that. I have seen most of the Anime on Sci-Fi channel but I'm not a keen admirer of the stuff. I just watch it cos theres not much better on that time on Saturdays.

Posted: 31 Aug 2003, 22:30

those are both Excellent anime's
the anime being shown on sci-fi channel now (Burn-up warrior Excess) is hillarious its just so...well... odd
is anyone watching sci-fi channel anime these days?
Posted: 01 Sep 2003, 01:15
brabham, Robotech is still the best anmine series of all time IMO. I have the first 2 series on disk.
Evangelion is cool as well. I think I may have the potential to become a real anime fan, but its just really hard to get hold of the good stuff. I dont have DSTV and Pokemon and DBZ are (no offence guys) a bit too juvenile.
Having said that, lets not overlook some other great toons - Thundercats, X-Men (the origional animated series), Starship Troopers (thats CG, but hey...)

I'd recommend Samurai X - Rurouni Kenshin, the first two movies, Trust and Betrayal and there was a TV series afterwards too.. 3 seasons, very good, but a little different than the first two movies.
Most Gundams are good, though I myself preferred the 08th MS Team series.
Golden Boy is pretty funny, only about 6 episodes.
Cowboy Bebop is a little older but good.
Naruto is great and also Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.
Of all I've seen thus far.. these mentioned are my favourites.

OOH! And don't forget Guyver and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Good good.
I like DBZ.. it's just a little annoying at times... takes too long for things to happen.. so the large number of episodes.

heres some news on a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion movie:
good news or bad? ...hmm05/20/03
In an announcement sure to make waves in the entertainment industry, ADV Films President and CEO John Ledford today publicly confirmed industry rumors that the firm has acquired the rights to produce, and has already begun development of, a live-action feature-film based on the Japanese animated television series “Neon Genesis Evangelion,†a multi-million dollar worldwide franchise and perhaps the most influential anime title in the history of the art form. The project is a collaboration between ADV Films, Gainax and Weta Workshop, Ltd.
The Participants
ADV Films is the leading producer-distributor of Japanese animation in North America. The Japanese anime and game studio Gainax Network Systems was one of the original production studios responsible for “Neon Genesis Evangelion,†and Weta Workshop, Ltd. is the New Zealand-based special effects studio that created the effects for Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings†trilogy.
“The three main players here represent something of a ‘dream-team’ for a project like this one,†said Ledford. “Between the quality and significance of the Gainax title, Weta’s industry-leading skill in the creation of special visual effects, and our expertise in the marketing and promotion of anime and anime-related content, this project is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.â€
The Story
“Neon Genesis Evangelion†is the story of a reluctant young hero, called upon to pilot an immense robotic weapon in battle against alien invaders. Including both a 26-episode television series and at least two animated motion pictures, “Neon Genesis Evangelion†has long been both a fan favorite and an extraordinary critical and commercial success, with the worldwide franchise producing many millions of dollars in revenue.
Timetable
The “Neon Genesis Evangelion†live-action motion picture is in the earliest stages of development. Ledford confirmed, however, that the timetable is an aggressive one, and that more information on the project is forthcoming.

DBZ is cool. I still find it funny how in one full 30 minute episode they can convey absolutely zero about the plot,BUT, miss one episode and you don't know what's going on! Neon Genisis was freeking cool, There was another one as well something about aliens called the "Blue" that was really good. That one caleed The legend of overfiend or something like that was rather,ahem, disturbing. Especially the part where the dude transforms and all those penises start shooting out of him. Riigghht. Dirty Pair falsh was dumb, and burn up excess they can't stop showing bouncing boobs. And what's up with that dude that has blood squirting out of his nose whenever he sees something\someone hot?? WTF??
Posted: 06 Sep 2003, 17:59
this amazes me no endone full 30 minute episode they can convey absolutely zero about the plot
this was seriously disturbing...and im never watching it again 8OThe legend of overfiend
hey these two were funny...in an odd way i mean come on you have to see the humour in itDirty Pair falsh,Burn Up Excess
its nice to watch some off the wall kind of shows especially after they finished showing BubblegumCrisis2040 and Blue Gender which were kinda involving and made you think,etc
Long live Goofy anime
Posted: 06 Sep 2003, 18:40
Legend of overfiend*Shudders at the thought* Some VERY good advice to everyone, If you ever see it, stay far away from it!!!I'm sure Hawk 21 would agree, that was just,just,distrubing.Never again. Thats it!!!! Blue gender was freeking cool, but got REALLY dumb close to the end. As for burn up excess, whats up with that gun mad chick. She like purves over every gun she sees. Who saw last weeks, when she was purving over the fighters guns
As for the goofy thing. I won't even ask.

ok in total it wasnt a bad movie but well certain moments...uh well 8O i thought blue gender was really good although yeah like you say it got a bit off near the end
hey man shes the coolest one in the showgun mad chick.
yup i saw last weeks that was funny did you see the one where they ripped off NeonGenesisEvangelion with a giant robo called "El Haduro" or something. it looked exactly like "unit-01"
i mean "off the wall humour" yknow .As for the goofy thing. I won't even ask.
