Simple enough to follow.

I just finished Afro Samurai (FUCKING WIN) and I'm going to see Murder Princess next.

I also read volumes 4 and 5 of Black Lagoon recently, and that series is getting dark....

Nothing. What anime should a "Xenophobic Dick" like myself start with? Just hearing Lucky Star was... unpleasant. But it didn't help that the dude watching it was in public with the sound turned way up and hunching over his laptop. And kinda neckbearded...

You want an action series first.

Baccano, Afro Samurai and Samurai Champloo would be great starts.

That re-imagining? Tell me if it's any good when you finish.

I never really liked the first.

Finished Gurren Lagann recently. My opinion on the series shift 180 since my little dispute with dicky a few months ago.

I still need to finish Koi Kaze, and will probably watch Code Geass next. Others I still would like to see are Black Lagoon, Haibane Renmai, and Full Metal Panic!. Possibly even Gungrave

In case you can't tell, I'm really into the older anime

Recently I've just finished reading Full Metal Alchemist *hence my sig* I'm reading Naruto, Bleach, Liar Game, History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, Fairy Tail, Bloody Monday Season 2, Break Blade, Mysterious Girlfriend X and The World God Only Knows.

Just bought the full set of Ane Doki, Kou Kou Debut and LoveCom. (yes I read Shojo)

I'm watching To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, To Aru Majustu no Index and finishing up Bus Gamer.

Just saw the first episode of Murder Princess.

I'm convinced that this entire OVA is made of pure awesome. This is the type of thing that only Japan could do, and they did it well. It's going to be fun to review.

@ Koari, if you want old anime, you want the real old stuff, and I mean older than Fist of the North Star.

My friend told me to watch Highschool of the Dead. I got the first two episodes and after the first one I don't know if I even want to watch the second one. Even if I let all the ecchi shit slide, the characters are pretty two dimensional and the lead guy has that insane yugioh kind of hair.
All that I can say for it is that it has zombies and some of the art is pretty good.

Oh, that ecchi stuff?

Here's what the director of the series said in an interview....

WARNING: WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ WILL MAKE YOU ASHAMED OF JAPAN'S CULTURE BUT WILL ALSO MAKE YOU LAUGH:

Spoiler
What would it be like if a school was overrun by zombies?

… There’d be the breasts of a hot teacher bouncing around all over the place, wouldn’t there? She’d be trying to save her class from all kinds of trouble.

I try to keep this in mind when making the anime.

[...]

“Even if the world is swarming with zombies, let us not forget the breasts and thighs!” – those are our watchwords.

[...]

I want to keep making lots of scenes full of jiggling breasts as much as possible. We really think the people who come to watch this are in it for the boobs.

Currently we are constantly researching how to better portray realistically the jiggling breast.

[...]

Yes, it’s all about the breast jiggle. I’ve never even seen an anime with as much jiggle as this. We’re still in production for the remaining episodes but we’re going to keep at it with the jiggling.

Tell us what motivated you to make Highschool of the Dead?

I’m aiming for something I would have bought myself in middle school. At present, this would definitely have been a “buy” for me. I can feel my schoolboy heart rejoicing even now.


Finished Murder Princess, was pretty cool, even though the last two episodes were really generic. Afro Samurai Ressurection is on my list to watch later today, then I;ll continue Buso Renkin (was on episode seven).

I've been watching this series... No lie, I'm a huge fan... and not just for the amounts of jiggle in it... It's about time they've done a zombie anime... Makes me wish there was a game about it... ^_^

Holy crap, I forgot how awesomely stupid Buso Renkin actually is. How odd it's both parody and a serious shonen tale.

Shiguiri.

Good lord, it's pretty boring plot and story wise, but it's really good at making you feel disturbed. It's artsy with the gore, and it uses both sound and visuals to mess you up, even when no gore is on screen.

I also always recommend Escaflowne (Manga)/ Tenkuu no Escaflowne (Anime), but watch the anime first because it's one of those that was an original anime. ^_^

And that's actually what I'm currently working on when I have a chance.
