[Gotenks]

I pick IY! That my favorite anime! I like it even more than I liked DBZ!

[Tsukasa]

So do I!!!! I luv inuyasha ;D yay!

[cajones]

As DBZ is over and GT isn't well advertised, Inuyasha has become the big thing in the anime world. I can't really comment on it, for I have not seen it. Everything has its moment, perhaps justly earned.

[Gotenks]

Yes, IY is actually the top 3 prime time show. That doesn't sound right to me... well, it's the 3rd top prime time show.

[cajones]

And how many people defy FCC standards to watch it?

[Gotenks]

Not much. Inuyasha is rated TV14. So, I would suspect that not that many people defy that little rating.

[cajones]

Indeed...

[Gotenks]

Besides, most of the people I talk with on Message Boards about IY are older than 14...@_@...I feel young.

[Aran]

Young isn't a bad thing. Especially if you're Ross Paro...

[cajones]

We'll have to update this thread for... uh... you know, actually everything there pretty much still good.

[zone]

I voted Inuyasha. I only saw the older episodes because my boarding school prevents me from watching TV late at night but the show was definetely my favorite out of the list. I'll probably just get the dvd of the first season (when the price goes below 100 dollars, I've heard of price gouging but that is ridiculous).

[Wolfstar]

Yeah, Smallville DVD seasons are about 50 bucks each... really sucks...

[cajones]

DVD prices go up on things that are commonly pirated.

[Wolfstar]

I'll have to go kick the guy that lives above me in the face... he pirates everything that can possibly be pirated... unfortunately he's my friend's roommate, so I probably shouldn't... And he does have my favorite episode of smallville, which isn't out on DVD yet.

[cajones]

Eh, internet piracy is going to become the standard anymore. At this rate, it will eventually be download providers paying the companies large amounts of money to be the first to put it online, and that's all that they get from the market. Which means that there'll probably be lots of advertisers and things on the internet in the future (as if this wasn't bad enough). Hopefully we can pull off an anti spyware revolution.

Wow... I didn't notice Digi Charat. That's like the only Anime I've ever downloaded... but just because the others are more easily accessed. .

[zone]

Yeah, the entire Gundam Wing series is about as bad at 100 dollars but that show has been around for a much longer time. I just transferred the video files from my brother's computer to mine (only problem is they are in English which sucks).

[cajones]

The voice acting was decent on Gundam Wing. As compared to...

[zone]

... Lupin the 3rd? Reign the conqueror?

Oh definetely Big O, then again, most animes would seem to have good voice acting compared to Big O. If there were a poll for worst anime on that list, I would vote Big O. I haven't seen Digi Charat but I've heard it's okay.

[cajones]

I've got seven episodes on my computer... They're the first ones, so they're pretty short-- altogether it's less than 30 mins.

[zone]

That's cool. I thought Trigun was a good series as well and the best part is that it's a 26 episode series so it actually ends. I've got all the episodes of Trigun on my computer (in Japanese with subtitles)

[Wolfstar]

Yes, the Japanese Trigun was awesome... didn't watch it in English, but I hear it wasn't as good. Outlaw Star is another one of my favorites.

[zone]

I got Outlaw Star in Japanese too. It's been awhile since I've watched it but I remember that it was also a solid anime. Oh man, but I got those weird ones too like Excel saga and FLCL. Of those two, I would say Excel saga is crazier but they are both made by Gainax so maybe they specialize in insanity (like many others here).

[Wolfstar]

You are being exalted due to your taste in anime... except for FLCL...can't stand that.

[zone]

And here I was taking pride in the fact that I'm the only one here with negative karma. It's like I'm evil but only on a small scale ... My computer's hard drive is like 75% anime & movies, 20% necessary for Windows stuff and 5% for fragmentation (I should really get an external hard drive but they're too expensive) I just started watching Scryed, how is it?

[cajones]

Eh... I only paid attention to a couple episodes, but they've got the anime-drama-depth-excitement-weird-but-cool-character thing.


Suuri-Bunshoudai.

Fullmetal Alchemist?

[zone]

I wish I had Fullmetal alchemist, I've heard that's a really good anime also. I could probably find a torrent link to it or maybe there's a DVD I can rent of it at blockbuster. Besides Samurai X, I also have Samurai Deeper Kyo which I enjoyed very much. The characters were all very interesting.

[cajones]

FMA is pretty nice... I don't know if it comes on still or not, I have such limited access to cable that their schedule is ... blah!

[Wolfstar]

yeah, I've heard it's good... but that's only heard

[zone]

I have about the first eleven episodes of Yugioh the first season(there were about 27 and I still need to hunt the rest down). The first season of Yugioh was never shown in America because the people marketing Yugioh in America were marketing toward kids and they thought that those episodes were too violent. The episodes are okay and they definetely seem better than the crap put out in America that's all about the "heart of the cards" and the "righteousness of friendship" bleh. In the first season, Yugi's dark spirit is like an f*ckin demon that goes off on anyone trying to mess with Yugi. It's slightly different from the manga but they both follow the basic story. I hate the American form of Yugioh and the people who remade it for Americans need to die slowly and painfully.

[cajones]

Easy now...

Ah what the heck, the first episode of Yugio in the Japanese version is pretty nice...
