I recently rediscovered this film, some great parallels for fallout fans

I just found out very great Boxing theme anime which is named "Hajime no ippo"
(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/10/2025.jpg)
Story tells about ippo young boy who got bullied by other guys.
ippo is working at fishing place with his mother and that's why he don't have time to spend with his classmates.

I hate most of the anime, i feel it like chidren cheap telenovels (and i believe that the original french version of Heidi its one of the best series ever made) with the following exceptions:
---Dragon Ball (the first, Z, GT and BAFF) its like a cult in my country Mexico, the Z series has been transmitted in channel 5 with only little interruptions since 1990.
---Ghost in The Shell: the only anime futuristic serie that dont makes me sleep while looking at it.
---Plus that, some chapters of One Piece are quite funny :)
-
I never was much into the anime, but this one is my favourite.

Pity that only 3 episodes were made...

..I hate most of the anime, i feel it like chidren cheap telenovels..
Yup there is many animes that got feel like "children type", but also there is bit matured ones animes that got little complicated story
Like for example some titles: Death Note, Darker than Black, Monster, Code Geass, Gantz...
-
Death Note, Darker than Black, Code Geass
Those are great. I would add Black Lagoon, and, even if I am not sure it's anime, "afro samurai" (the best to watch when high ;p)
Elfen Lied wad good too.

Welcome to the N.H.K. (24 episodes, 8 volumes manga)
(http://mismangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/welcome_to_the_nhk.jpg)
This was one great anime that gave me some good laughs and also it was bit awful in some scenes (Suicide attempt, Paranoia, Angst, Drugs, atleast Tatsuhiro used them at manga, but they never show them at anime)
Story tells about Tatsuhiro who live alone in his apartment and has been unemployment 4 years.
He got very unstable and twisted mind that makes his life very hard with other peoples who are near him.
One day he met girl named Misaki, who wanted help Tatsuhiro out of his unstable and hard lifestyle so they started take "Lectures" which would help Tatsuhiro understand that life could be better without be alone.
But later it reveals that Misaki got feelings for Tatsuhiro and start likes him more and more, but also she show some sides from her that she never show for anyone..
There is still so many things i would to tell, but they might be high spoilers and that would ruin fun from everyone.
Here is opening from NHK (Kind boring opening, but i think it fits nicely to NHK)
Oh btw did you saw strawhat style hat on Misaki when she hold one piece of puzzle?

"Hokuto no Ken" aka "Fist of the north star", story about post-apocalyptic japanese mad max who uses his secret fighting style to kick ass. It's a good anime, but I never had the time to watch the whole series though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po77bJk1DdI
-
Okay, here's my top 10 of anime I've ever seen :)
- Code Geass
- Death Note
- Soul Eater
- Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
- Black Lagoon
- High School of the Dead
- Chaos;Head
- Bakemonogatari
- Elfen Lied
- Rebuild of Evangelion
Every anime on this list worth at least one time watch. But at the same time - most of them are legendary and can give you truly amazing experience.

"Hokuto no Ken" aka "Fist of the north star", story about post-apocalyptic japanese mad max who uses his secret fighting style to kick ass. It's a good anime, but I never had the time to watch the whole series though.
I watched the whole series, consisted of about 200 episodes. The program was very amusing with its overmanly world. Here's some characteristics of Hokuto no ken:
- In every episode Kenshiro rips his shirt
- In every episode Kenshiro states someone that he is already dead because of some new preissure point attack that kills people with delay
- Women are no good for anything
- It's okay for men to cry
- Even though Kenshiro has already killed over 1000 dudes, he always finds new opponents who think they can defeat him without problems

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Season 1, 26 episodes)
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DE1naJKluDQ/TY4nl8hyRCI/AAAAAAAABN0/nX_VjkfvwdI/s1600/onikakushihenmf7.jpg)
And don't make it just children style anime just by watching cover.. it give you totally different feeling about this anime.
I think this is was my first "Gore" anime i ever watched.
Keiichi is one of protagonists that moved to town called "Hinamizawa" after he was involved to event in his hometown.
(http://images.wikia.com/whentheycry/images/a/a0/Keiichi_kira.png)
He accidently shot girl to eye with toy gun when he was coming home from school. He got nickname "Magician of Words" which helped him to make new friends and become more popular in town of Hinamizawa.
He is affected by paranoia and driven to commit murder in start of anime.
There is also another protagonist who is female called Rena (Serious face on her ;))
(http://my.opera.com/infinity-1/homes/blog/rena.jpg)
Most of time Rena is very kind and helpful, but sometimes she is controlled by Hinamizawa syndrome and is very dangerous on those times.
Rena's real name is "Reina", she used that name before she moved from Hinamizawa to Ibaraki with her parents one year prior to the events of the story. There she discovered her mother having an affair, causing Reina to smash all the windows in her new school and assault three male students with a metal bat under the influence of the Hinamizawa syndrome.
Reina returned to Hinamizawa after that incident and changed name to Rena.
There is also 2nd season with 24 episodes and it is called Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai.
2 OVAs (Original Video Animation) with 5 episodes and 4 episodes length.

-
This is my list of animes i watched and still sometimes rewatch them for some reasons like certain scenes.
These are not listed in 10 best ones.
One Piece+Movies (For major battles, Scenes when luffy make impossible to possible, When luffy make everyone happy)
Naruto (Major battles.. Funny moments.. Sad moments.. etc)
Ef- a tale of Memories/Melodies (Memories for some random moments like phone messages and Melodies for ending)
Clannad/Clannad: After Story+Both Another World chapters (Sad moments, Ending, It was so fine anime that i never forget)
Welcome to the N.H.K. (Funny moments, Always and always want see again ending)
School Days (Well.. Makoto was asshole and he got what he deserved)
Full metal alchemist (Some random battles and moments that i never want forget)
Ladies Versus Butlers! (Harem harem.. what else to say :D)
Myself, Yourself (Hmm.. Nanaka has bit sad personality, but it was good she finally manage get 'it' ready.)
Amagami SS (Same story, but just with different girls and ending different for everyone)
Toradora! (Taiga! very interesting story with some fateful changes)
Gunslinger Girl (Girls with weapons.. this was just something that was fun)
One Piece: Dream Soccer king (Sanji with his epic kick :D)
H2O: Footprints in the Sand (Blind guy who "got" his sight back and started like one girl who was hated in that village where they both live)
This is just small list to compared how many animes i have watched.
-
In general, I don't watch anime often, but I really like Ghost in the Shell and Animatrix. This two are very ambitous productions in my opinion. Well, I was used to watch such animes like Azumanga Daioh, Black Lagoon, and High School of the Dead . But I put Ghost in the Shell and Animatrix as my personal favorites.
-
What kind story type you like on animes?
I can put types to list and example from animes uses that type.
Personally i like story with arcs, because most likely those are longest animes.
* One Piece, Bleach, Naruto etc..
Story is separated to arcs (Default animes*, Higurashi, Clannad, Kanon..)
Every episode is new story (Jigoku Shoujo aka "Hell Girl")
One story (Karin, True Tears, Welcome to N.H.K.)
Place where some character already been, but died for example and "reborn" to new world (Higurashi)
Almost same story, but with eyes of different person or new girl in love with protagonist etc (Amagami SS, Yosuga no Sora, Higurashi)
-
Thanks for bumping that thread, it made me remember to check if Hellsing OVA 8 is out, and it is. Many were waiting for it for almost a year. I like animes that doesn't filled with crap just to be longer and longer, so these days I won't start one that has more episodes than Code Geass. I guess that's why I like Hellsing. They work 6-12 month on an episode, and the difference is noticeable.
Other than that, my favorites were already mentioned in that thread. Afro Samurai, Cowboy Beebop, Gantz, Ghost in The Shell, Black Lagoon, and some others.
Now I'm trying to get my hands on a Red Line, heard it's finished.
-
We need best character listing over here :D
Write some reasons too why she/he was good character.
1. Luffy from One Piece (Funny guy and always beat enemies with rubber powers, Gear Second)
2. Tatsuhiro from Welcome to N.H.K. (He was always too serious with everything and paranoid, He tried his best to change as person..)
3. Blueno from One Piece (Same feeling like Nappa from DBZ. He just underestimate too much and lost in no time)
4. Rena from Higurashi (I like when she become mad with that scary face, Rena likes take everything to her home ;))
5. Nappa from DBZ (Yeah same reason than with Blueno. He was tough enemy in start, but lost easily in end)
6. Nanaka from Myself;Yourself (In start she was very angry and sad person, but later on she started become more happy)
7. Mion and Shion from Higurashi (Well.. both them almost like each others, but another did something that i never forget from my nightmares :/)

About Anime :D cant say more

As almost everyone see i have joined to MAL (Myanimelist) community and started watching animes even more serious :)
Wipe happens someday.. but before that i can watch animes with all might.

I was aware that REDLINE is out in some countries for a while after -years- of waiting. Now I even find working torrents - thought I leave a note. Not that I won't buy it if they ever release it in my neighborhood.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjdGgkjJeG4&feature=related - That one if it's news to you.
-
No love for Stand Alone Complex, Akira, Battle Angel Alita, Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, Appleseed, Eden and Lain yet? Damn, I am dissapoint. Also, Starship Operators, Infinite Ryvius and Banner of the Stars are neat if you enjoy military sci-fi. Furthermore, Black Lagoon because, well, Revy and Darker Than Black because Chineese Electric Batman. I'd also mention Fate/Stay Night if this thread was about VNs, but I guess I won't because the anime was sort of mediocre in comparison.

I don't think Eden has an anime adaptation. Manga is god-tier though. Also, last time I posted I totally forgot Madoka - just don't let the whole magical girl thingie fool you, that shit is intense ;D
-
Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball Z
Blue Gender
Ecoban
Naruto ^^
Shaman King

Can anyone recommend me sci-fi anime/manga? I liked Animatrix and Lamb if that helps...
-

Well, the best sci-fi anime I've ever seen is Cowboy Bebop. There's also Ghost In the Shell. Both of which were already mentioned, however I don't know of a soon-to-be apocalyptic sci-fi anime.
-
I watched a Cowboy Bebop movie once and it was pretty good.
Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, Akira and some of the other mentions sound really good but I don't know where I'd go to watch/read them :P why did they shut down OneManga?

-
I just discovered Samurai Champloo (well I watched the whole 26 episodes in 2 days)... Made by the same guy than Cowboy Bebop, and really, really awesome.
-
I'm not very skilled with mangas.. so can anyone suggest me some short mangas?
Something romance+drama like or maybe action.

How can you be not "skilled" with manga? Trouble reading?
Fairy Tail.
If you like One Piece or Full Metal Alchemist, that'll be your bet. That's pretty comedy and action.
As for me... , Macross, Jin-Roh, Akira, Cowboy Bebop, Gunnm, Last Order, Trigun, Desert Punk, (postapocalyptic) Zipang, GITS, Legend of The Galactic Heroes, (you'll like it if you liked Banner of the Stars, hail Abh Empire, hail Kaiser Reinhard;)) Armored Trooper VOTOMS, ('realistic' robot wars).
Oh, did i mention Evangelion? Liked Gurren Lagann for hotblood. RedLine has this awesome style, too.
-

Nope. I mean that I haven't reading much manga.
-
Nope. I mean that I haven't reading much manga.
Ah, i see. Well, i have had my problems with reading manga too. In Japanese. ;D
No seriosly. Btw, do anyone prefer digital or printed versions of manga? I honestly enjoy printed ones, i even got me Re-Take printed.
But i can't keep tons of them at my flat, so there's another solutions, too. Paid, of course. ;)
-
Desert Punk, (postapocalyptic)
Is there an english version? (One with english voice acting not subtitles)

Cowboy bebop and ghost in the shell are not movies, and there are no movie makes of them as far as I know.
So I'm confused on that :P.
BTW, Ghost in the shell, is extremely long list of episodes, so, even if you no-lifed, for a week watching them, you may not be done even then:).

I know Cowboy Bebop is a serie. But it have at least, 1 movie.

What way you prefer to watch anime?
Download/Streaming/Buy?
Download is for good quality and better experience for watching.
Streaming is for low quality, but without need download large video files to computer.
Buying is expensive and without subs (Depends where you buy them)
What about everyone else?
-
Dowload.
Streaming is just very high poor quality.
For me, makes total diference the quality
-
hey I am also anime fan :D
anyway for me "DragonBall Z" is above anything else, institution for itself.
1. Fist of the North Star ( Protagonist alone in post-apocalyptic world against all evil in world, I liked it becouse it remainded me a lot on fallout world, people gruped in factions, each from themselfs, killing techniques are awesome in anime.)
2. Ghost in the Shell ( sci-fi anime, follows special unit called section 9, which solve crimes,, but on other side it have very deep psychological topics and questions. )
3. Ergo Proxy ( sci-fi anime placed in post-apocalyptic world, anime is based on lots of talk and little of action, but story is quite intresting and there is no need for lots of action, also here we have some deeper topics. )
4. Death note ( I don't know why but I thought its shit before I watched it... but I gave it a chance and after first episode I was shocked, it was awesome I watched 18 episode that night and I failed math exam on collage which I had next morning... no joke... lot of people who usualy dont watch anime loved death note... I highly recommend you this one, and dont read what is about just watch first episode. )
that was the best once, I watched more animes but I dont have respect for them and dont get them serious... like
recently I watched
highschool of dead - it was good one boobs jumping around, action, killings but no respect
and... I have question of you I see someone of you said he watched "code geass" , everybody saying that after "death note" you must watch that one... one even some people consider it better then "death note", anyway I watched 6 episodes I think and I consider it shit... what am I missing?
-
Yea, they called it "Death Note with mecha", right?
You might dislike CLAMP drawings, since it's stark bishounen. One might also compare Le Douche with L.Yagami, because of "charismatic guy plots going as planned" and there's of course mecha. First, there's only semi-realistic mecha around and then, for the sake of battle awesomeness, the technology goes into "supermecha" section.
And then, while the original idea was decent for my liking, the writing goes down the drain in the second season.
And they botchered his sister. She could be an awesome DiLandau, if you know Visions Of Escaflowne. But nooo...
-
