"Anime/Manga"

Any of the guys and gals in here, like or watch any anime and manga?

Indeed, it is quite a stunning piece of work. I did enjoy it, it's just the religion stuff was too much for me.

One of my favourites. A great sci-fi movie.
It does tend to have a heavy dose of religious musings in it, but if you're ready to let yourself be absorbed by the story, characters and atmosphere, it's amazing fun.
Wonderful animation, atmospheric music score, great other-worldly setting and some powerful intellectual themes.

I just love the final few scenes. The brutal battle sequence and the awe-inspiring sight of the rocket finally getting airborne after the all the struggle and work.

Great stuff.

DragonBall Z
DragonBall
DragonBall GT

Ranked in order of greatness. I haven't really got round to watching anything else, but I will be soon.

And Toonami was a much better move than CNX. I only ever used to watch CNX for DBZ, DBGT.

Hmmm, anyone heard of a show called Sentimental Graffitti ? May be some kind of Love Hina kind of show - went to a toy fair today and bought a vast pile of the figures - each about 10 inches high, with electronic voice and base - possibly going to sell on eBay soon. Some guy was having a closing out sale and shifting them at £1 each !

I've tried to find something on Google but not getting anywhere, doesn't seem to be working properly for me tonight.

YES!

Love that show!
The movie's out next week.

Just finished watching "Wings of Honneamise" (sp?).

I'd say it was moderatly good, maybe to much religious material for my liking, but still it held a nice storyline and beautiful setting. I loved the 'fight scene' between the woman with the gun and the main character on that truck.

And I watched an episode of "Neon Genesis: Evanglion" - It was surprisingly good and i'm thinking of investing my time into watching it from now on.

Sci Fi have just announced that Martian Successor Nadesico will be airing again from December 22nd, every weekday at 9am, in a double bill.

I wasn't aware Sci Fi were still showing animes in the morning o_0. I'm hoping they'll get something new but I'm don't think they're in a rush to. A good series that they should get is Serial Experiments Lain. I did hear from someone inside CNX/Toonami that they might be interested in Eva, there target audience is teen boys afterall (despite all the girly barbie and doll adverts you'll notice on there for the moment)

What some people didnt realise is that for CNX anime was a small part, so much money spent on asian films, however animes and toonami did rather well so Toonami is a teen boys channel with US cartoons and anime. So it plays a much bigger roll than it would have with CNX. So I'm still waiting for them to buy new series, preferably something from the US adult swim.

Some of the series on Cartoon Network US are Yu Yu Hakusho, Trigun, SD Gundam Force, FLCL, Blue Gender, Big O, Lupin III, Kikaider, Inuyasha, aww they're also showing Captain Planet :( I love that show.

FLCL, Trigun, Big O and Inuyasha I'm hoping for, that'll get a lot of people interested in the channel. If you've seen FLCL you should read this opinion (very funny lol stupid woman) www.tribnet.com/opinion/story (del space) /3732462p-3759193c.html

I just tape em all :P

Yep , that's the story basically. It would be nice if Sci Fi could show it's stuff at a normalish time.
