I've grabbed three different recommendation lists for Anime to watch, in between /a/ and /m/.

Gentlemen, here's what I'll be watching for some 2 years:

129 Series, Films and OAVs, not counting stuff that was recommended but I had already seen, like Evangelion.

Wish me luck.

WHAT I'M CURRENTLY WATCHING:


TRIGUN (I'm only on episode 13 so far)


More on Trigun when I watch the next 13 episodes



ALSO I'M READING: MYSTERIOUS GIRLFRIEND X

Did everyone notice how most of the old chinese cartoons/animes have wierd character artwork in the biginning and gradually improve? Like in DBZ. In the Sayian saga, Vegeta looked wired as HELL! They all also looked a bit more cartoonish. In the Majin Buu saga, they all look MUCH better in comparison to the Sayian saga, and everything looks less cartoony.

That's refinement, my friend. It's like Asterix and Obelix:

That's how improvement works...? It's not a difficult concept to grasp. You do a lot of the same thing, you get better at it, generally.

In Dragon Ball's case, the first half of the manga is very cartoony and kinda comedy-like. The second half is all battles, powers and muscles, the art style needed some change. But I'm pretty sure that just his natural growth.

I guess this could also go in the movie thread but whatever!

Finally got around to watching Akira. Man that was some craaaaazy stuff, though I really enjoyed it. Kinda thought that that there was maybe a little bit too much left unexplained? Or maybe I'm just too dumb to understand the deeper meaning. Oh also
But yeah, really cool movie. The DVD I watched was scratched to hell because it was a library copy, so I may be missing something due to it skipping and me not realizing it.

I want that motorcycle.

A lot was unexplained since it's a manga adaptation and a movie on top of that. So they had to cut a few things out.

Oh, right, that makes sense. That didn't even cross my mind last night, whoops.

Would you say the manga is worth reading, though?

Funny, half of those anime I did watch and some I actually completed! (Bold = Incomplete, Italic = Completed)

No idea, just try it out.

Holy shit, managed to stumble upon the Lupin III pilot on youtube. Currently watching it right now.

Does anyone still watch Yu-Gi-Oh?

Wish I could. It was awesome, but once that pharaoh guy or whatever came in and it got all super-serious (like you can die when you lose a match), that's when it started to be less cool.

So, the first episode?

Also deadly Yu-Gi-Oh is the best one, trust me.

In equation form:

If: Yu-Gi-Oh = DBZ... It sucks... Tongue
I guess most of the anime in this world have a tendancy to get serious over time.

I still play the trading card game every now and then. How about you guys?

The first season, with Pegasus, was nice. After that when the portable hologram machines are released by Kaiba Corp, that's also cool. Even the Egyptian God Cards were OK. But it's when the deadliness happened that it was getting slightly too serious for me.
I'm not saying it became horrible after that, it's still Yu-Gi-Oh. It's just that what I find annoying in anime is when some harmless game like Duel Monsters is created, and then after a while it becomes so serious that the fate of the world rests on it. Same thing with Bakugon (although I've never properly watched that).
Now Beyblade, that was OK. As far as I can remember, the original series (with Tyson and Dragoon) didn't get any more serious that world tournaments with prize money. The new series is pretty annoying though, what with whirlwinds coming to destroy cities because of some guy with spiky hair and leather boots (I haven't seen much of the new ones either, though). However that's as bad because, as far as I can tell, it's set in a totally different universe than the originals.

However, all of this rambling is a bit pointless. It's been a while since I've seen any of these, so I can't exactly remember what I did and didn't like about them. It's just that, in my personal opinion, a toy made of plastic or a card held in a cool way between two fingers shouldn't be able to decide the fate of the Earth. That's all.

If I had my cards I'd play it, but we left them back in NZ (I have no idea why). I have the PC game, but it's just not the same. When we get back I'll be sure to have some duels, the only people I can play with are my siblings, but that's cool.
