So Terygon, you're an anime fan right? I started downloading Sailor Moon (in Japanese, uncut) and Sailor Moon Live-action (also in Japanese) and watching them [img]smile.gif[/img] Gotta admit, it's a lot of fun!
And Sailor Moon's theme song is completely different in English! Lmao!
Sailor moon "live action"??!?!?!?!
Oh dear...that gives a whole NEW meaning to some of the perverted SailorMoon stuff I've seen or heard about... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Yup, you got it! It's live except for the talking cat (Luna) and some of the monsters. Actually her costume is toned down a little [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] and the "fight" sequences are better than the animation ones...
Cats you should see if you can find Kannazuki no miko online I got lent VCD's of it but I think it was fansubs.
Kannazuki no miko
I can't afford to pay $90 per DVD from Japan so I'm praying it'll be licensed and I won't even wait for R4 release I'll buy R1's from USA.
It's truly awesome!
Shoujo-ai plus giant mecha
The love triangle story was reminiscent of SIP, I totally cried alot at the end. ( [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] Although so far I've cried during, Noir, Cowboy Bebop, Nausicaa and Voices of a Distant Star)
CHIKANE RULZ!!!! [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
You could always download it... (where's a little pirate smilie when you need one?)
www.boxtorrents.com
IMHO it's not illegal or immoral if you don't try to make a buck off the download. After all, I've already seen most of the Sailor Moon eps on TV [img]smile.gif[/img] so they've gotten their revenue off me.
Oh! A-pi-rate-ing we will goooo...

No no no...but it does open a door so to speak...
Or something to that effect... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
OK, I'm getting into this topic kind of late, but my name was in the first post so:
Anime: Yes, love good anime, think the bad stuff is, well, bad. Sailor Moon is fine, not my favorite, but not the spawn of the Accursed One that some of my friends think it is. Manga's better, but still rather repetive. The Japanese beats the English all to ... the home of the accursed one. IMHO. Never managed to see the live action, but would grab the chance if offered.
Perverted stuff: My only problem is most of it is written badly. And lacks originality. Two problems. My two problems are most of it is written badly, and lacks originality. And isn't true to the characters. Three problems. My three problems are most of it is written badly, lacks originality, and isn't true to the characters. And a fanatical devotion to the Pope. I like to think that my perverted stuff is better (never done an actual Sailor Moon one, but I do have one based on the concept) but that's for others to judge.
Pirating: illegal or not, I'm generally against unofficial distribution of licensed material for reasons that have probably been discussed elsewhere better.
Kannazuki no miko: sounds interesting. I've been out of touch with the new stuff since I got a job that had me working on our meeting days (and at the time I had no net access). Would be interested in hearing more about it.
My favorite stuff: for the above mentioned reasons, it's older stuff. This is in no particular order.

Cute screenshot and sorta informative review from animeplanet. I loved it alot more than 6/10 tho'. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Synopsis:
(Taken from the AniRec Database)
Gentle Himeko and reserved Chikane were born into very different backgrounds, but still became the best of friends. Their fates, they would soon come to discover, are intertwined in a fashion that they can't possibly imagine -- they are the reincarnations of two priestesses who once sealed the god of darkness Orochi in their past lives. Set to revive again, his giant robot-riding agents have set out to destroy the girls, one of whom is Himeko's friend who is in love with her. Riddled with memories of their past lives, the two try to survive long enough to cast the seal on Orochi again...
Story: 6 / 10
I loved the beginning of this anime, despite its unoriginality and repetitious sequence of events. I also loved the plot twist, which opens up an entirely different course for the anime to take. But no, I HATED the ending...with a mad passion. However, I hated it in a way that was good; in a discplined way enough to say that Kannaduki no Miko holds its ground as a truly suteki Shoujo-Ai anime.
Priestesses of the Godless Moon. (Who could hate a title like this?)
The sun rises with Himeko, as the moon, Chikane, embraces her. These two, both in different status at school, are the reincarnations of legendary shrine maidens that sealed an evil god long ago. At last, their fate awaits them, as the evil being returns to destroy the world once again. With the helpful effort of Himeko`s crush, these two follow the painful path to rescue the world - even at the sacrifice of their own love.
Nobody could suspect at first that this anime would get that complicated. I didn`t expect much after the first episode, since it was apparent where the story would lead for the next 5 or so episodes. Then suddenly, around episode 7, I realized a possible path the anime could lead, and it goes down that path. Following along, it takes some routes that I would never have considered, and by the end I sat and digested all of the drama that came pouring out. The series is so loaded with directions that it becomes thought-provoking, which is one of the reasons why I still give the story a lot of credit.
Unfortunately, the biggest mishap in the story comes from the lack of story behind scenes involving Oogami and Chikane. It`s almost as if they were ghosts to one another; there was no way to connect them. Thus, the story suffered everytime they were in a scene together

Cool!
I like Aeon Flux! And CyberSix! And ReBoot! lol!
Since all anime is new to me, and since they all look alike on the surface, it's good to get a clue as to what's ok and what's drek [img]smile.gif[/img]
Which ones have cat-people in them???
I'm actually wanting to see the recent release of the "updated" Appleseed...
Then there are the two Patlabor movies...love those...
To truly understand Anime you should watch Robotech, Starblazers, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Burn-Up, Love Hina, Witch Hunter Robin, Oh My Goddess, Chobits, Ai Yoki Aoshi, Ranma 1/2, His and Her Circumstances, GTO, Saber Marionette J, I MY ME Strawberry Eggs, Full Metal Panic, Happy Lesson, All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, Cutey Honey, Gunsmith Cats, Rurouni Kenshin, Najica Blitz Tactics, Azumanga Daioh, Noir, Martian Successor Nadesico, Ghost In The Shell, Please Teacher, Hellsing and a few million other titles I am too lazy to type in right now.
Yet another ubercute Kannazuki picture [img]biggrin.gif[/img] http://photo.starblvd.net/Chaos/2-3-5.jpg
You should definitely watch Noir, it's AWESOME! and if you do you have to find the secret extra Noir - The Unsoled Story (a sock puppet parody) on vol. 6. It's the reason why voice actors should only be allowed out to go to conventions. I'm a Chloe Worshipper [img]wink.gif[/img]
And watch Cowboy Bebop.
And spend half an hour of your life watching Voices of a Distant Star it's so worth it.
And watch all things Miyazaki. Particularly Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
I'm watching .hack/sign at the moment and really enjoying it. It's definitely for gamers and wannabe gamers like myself.
The top of my wantlist is Trigun.
Hey Hellsing is it worth me finishing my Witchhunter Robin collection. I'm up to DVD 2 and not really sure about the rest of the series, I like it but I'm not desperately seeking the next episodes.
Nobody mentioned Akira, Baoh, Horobi and Evangelion.
I like manga stuff with teenagers destroying the world, or becoming God and destroying the world.
The "destroying the world" part is fundamental for me.
Sailor Moon, the real religion of my high school years. Wait for season three (my most loved, and the best among five seasons).
Uh, Chaos...is there a STRONG lesbian subtext in that anime? You know, strong lesbian subtexts are another fundamental thing for me.
Destruction and lesbianism, that's bliss. [img]graemlins/cat.gif[/img]
Kannazuki is a true shoujo-ai (girl love)anime so lesbian subtext is an understatement.
Shoujo and shoujo-ai Rulz!
I'm getting all of Saikano this week Yay! It's probably going to make me cry too.
I need to get Cowboy Bebop on DVD. Maybe when I land a job. I've got the movie, but the series kicks ass.
Still can't watch Disney's Lion King without thinking about how they ripped off Kimba. I cut my anime teeth on Kimba and Speed Racer.
The best of the stuff from my youth is, of course, Robotech...Macross if you will...
Love love love the four part Macross Plus story also...
I was so desperately in love with Minmei, or Lynn Min May, or whatever you call her in the USA...
Really? I was preferential to pretty much all of the female bridge crew members...Lisa, Sammie, Claudia...oh Claudia! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Gosh, I had some thoughts on her too. She was in love with such an idiot...
Flyboys...feh... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
