DONT GET A SEAGATE.


Also yeah dead leaves is pretty cool. It reminded me alot of all the stuff that was on liquid television in the 90s

Last Exile was excellent IMO. Really cool series. Desert Punk is great if you can handle the extremely vulgar/childish humor. Mushi-Shi is just a beautiful piece of art and is strangely mesmerizing. I really liked the Blood + series as well. These are all watch instantly. Yes, I had too much time on my hands over an extended winter break. Hahaha.

Also it is one of the best manga > anime adaptations ever. They really nailed it! They only thing missing is Urushibara san's little travel musings that she adds now and then :lol:

I'm surprised no one has already said it. CAT SOUP is great. If they don't have it on netflix, watch some on youtube.

Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion are my favourites. In fact I'd probably put both in my Top 25 greatest things ever list. Ghost in the Shell I've only watched the movies (both excellent), haven't seen the series yet. I've watched a lot of others besides those, but they are the really god damn good ones that I recall right now, with breakfast burrito in belly and brain moving slow.

I still don't really like Netfux streaming, but I do watch it a few times per week. It's like the mp3 of movies: convenient sure but the same quality as VHS, god damn backward technology. :idk:

Got a little further into Gunslinger Girl. I'm digging it a lot. I love The Delgados song they use for the opening theme and I will probably pirat;,....I mean legally download their discog.

Didn't get a chance to check anything else out yet.

Holy crap, Netflix has Cyber City Oedo 808. Get that!
And Neo Tokyo, wow! I need Netflix!

You will dig these if you like the cyberpunk aesthetic and late 80's-early 90's art styles. I'm also going to recommend Great Teacher Onizuka 'cause it's all about a badass. Just the first opening alone fills you with burning manly fighting spirit. Gunsmith Cats is cool too.

Cyber City Oedo 808 is only available on DVD,...but I put it in my queue anyway.

Mushi-Shi also added.

Funny,...my wife came home while I was watching GSG. I told her that she watched every episode of Full Metal Alchemy, to which she replied,...well yeah, because there was Alchemy in the name. :whateva: :facepalm:

I wanted to watch this for the longest time. I thought for sure I would love it.
Caught an episode on Hulu and the humor was just too base.
I suppose other people enjoy it, though, so :idk:

If you use Hulu at all, I would recommend checking out House Of Five Leaves. I loved it and was very sad when it ended.

Hulu's got some good stuff on it.

I'll plug Tatami Galaxy again. Mainly because, aside from liking it, the catalyst is "Neko Ramen." :poke:
