So basically, I'm just interested in your favourite Anime series. I've started to gather quite a large collection now (40Gb on my HDD, 50Gb backed-up on DVD) and am curious as to what everyone else likes.
So, yeah, shoot.

Not wrong there!

Wasn't 133 the best EVER? :D
(I have every single Naruto episode.
> Ever. Like, go me. Or whatever.)
Yeah, me too. Seen the movie yet?
Oh, and I also forgot to mention Bleach, which is an absolutely genius series.
Then probably Excel Saga (I'll suffer the crap bits because the surrealness is great).
Then Oedo 808
There's a lot of crap out there. Most things rated 15 or under tend to deserve being a category or two lower and feature big eyed characters that annoy and seem mainly designed to appeal to 5 yearolds. On the otherhand most things rated 18 turn out to be little more than glorified anime-porn.
I used to have a lot of anime, Cry Freeman, Legend of the four Kings, Oedo 808 (cyber punk stuff), Appleseed but then everything else turned out to be marred by cheap animation techniques (repeating of a shot and background and not even making an attempt to conceal it is just crap), anime-porn or big eyed character for 5 yearolds.
There's too much crap anime out there. (like Tank Police)
Get Backers I've seen a few lately also my brother finally noticed they released Love Hina in the UK. Idiot was buying the US versions not long ago. And no not on the internet. He'll go to places like HMV and buy a new anime for £18.99 and then I tell him he could have bought it online and saved £5. That's a lot of money considering he's done this over a hundred times now.
Getting back to Naruto I havent seen the films yet but I was fortunate to download season 3 and 4 at 200+k/s faster than I was watching it. I'm about to watch 107. I think the latest one subbed at the moment is 133 which I should have in a day or two.
It's a great series and reminds me of Dragonball Z and Full Metal Alchemist, the latter I recommend to anyone who hasnt seen it yet.
Seems everyones gone off FMA since Naruto FMA is only 51 episodes long though I've already seen twice that number of Naruto and still more to go.
