"Manga"

Well I guess that other thread got lost while changing servers. So here's a new one for Manga fans to say what films/series's they like, and people should watch!

I'll start it off.

Just come out in the UK recently is Princess Mononoke. WATCH IT! It's great!

:)

How can they ban a cartoon?

I know some of them are damn violent and full of sex etc, but honestly do they actually expect people to take them seriously?

La Blue Girl or something was banned a few years back, WHY?

I doubt there showing Urotsukidoji 4!

I looked at the DVD of that in HMV a couple weeks back and it's not even the film. IT's a collection of stills of the film, because it's not allowed to be shown in the UK!

Despite being a load of repeats, Sci-fi channel is showing some excellent Anime films over the coming weeks.

Akira, Riding bean, AD police, Ghost in the shell, Urotsukidoji 3+4 and Wings of Honneamise. Wooooooo

Plus soon we'll have Blood: The last vampire on Channel 4.

Cowboy Bebop is meant to be really cool! Is it available on video yet?

Wings of Honneamise => Got that. Not the greatest

Cowboy Bebop => Getting that. Tell ya when i've seen it

Castle of Cagliostro => Got that. Bought it for £4 about a week ago from Cashconverters. Pretty good.

Patlabor 1&2 => Got em. These are great films. Bought the 2nd one from cashconverters the other day for £4

:)

If you like anime you should check out some of these titles:

My Neighbour Totoro
Kiki's Delivery Service
Wings of Honneamise
Cowboy Bebop
Castle of Cagliostro (and other LupinIII titles)
Patlabor 1&2 (as previously mentioned)
Patlabor t.v series
Yurusei Yatsura
Riding Bean
Gunsmith Cats

Some of these are on dvd from america, some are only on vhs from america and some are available in the u.k.

I really want to see the whole of "3x3 Eyes" in a row!

I think i've seen all the eps now, but that's with about 7yrs between watching half the eps.

It was a GREAT Manga!

I watched it when I was icle, later night on channel 4 once.

I really wanna see it all again!

:)

They used to show Manga late night on Channel 4, they usually do start showing it around Christmas time so fingers crossed.

Tends to be weird satanic horror Manga, all weird Japanease spells and stuff.

Devil Man or something, Doomed Megalopolis, Judge and a few more.

One Manga I would definetly recommend is Venus Wars, it's been out for a while but it's definetly worth a watch.

I think I saw it when it was on BBC2 as well. They should do a Manga season again!

Yer I saw the first one a few years ago too. It was on BBC2. I don't understand why they don't show Manga more often!

The big robots don't appear in that much in the second film.
