Anime

[Robin Kok CH]

Anyone watch any anime, be it Japanese or in some other languages? What 's your favourite anime?

Well, I am into InitialD series. It is a japanese anime. Currently it has 3 completed stages and the 4th Stage is being released episode by episode.
I have all the stages. Up to this point, InitialD 4th Stage Episode 8 is the latest I have. Episode 9 and 10 will be due out within this week. Me cant wait to see...

Oh goody!!! I like anime. But only into stylish, bloody ones. Ones i like
1) Appleseed the movie
2) Blood - The Last Vampire
3) Vampire Hunter D
4) Ghost in a shell: SAC

I also like Slayers and Ranma 1/2.

How is Initial D series??
I love mech in anime but too boring. Eg: Evangelion.....slept most of the time thru it!!

[Hisham]

Ghost in the Shell
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex
Tonari No Totoro
Sen To Chihiro No Kamikakushi

I thought Neon Genesis Evangelion was gripping in terms of using the dark side of human emotions brewing dangerously in their 14 year old main characters. Plus the SEELE, NERV and the Angels' intrigue culminating in the Human Instrumentality Project was interesting.

Cowboy Bebop had interesting sci-fi situations interspersed by fantastic music by Yoko Kanno. People say that it's all jazz, but if you listen carefully Ms. Kanno composed and orchestrated everything from rock to middle-eastern to Wagnerian opera, which impressed the crap out of me.

Oh. And I still have yet to see Appleseed the Movie (2004). THe trailer looked fantastic.

[Dino]

Oh and not forgeting
1)Princess Mononoke
2)Spirited Away

Hmm... how come my teacher never teach me any of those????

Forgive old people like me but what is anime? How do you pronounce the word?

Anime = A style of animation developed in Japan, characterized by stylized colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sex.

[athena]

so the comic version of anime is manga???

[Robin Kok CH]

Yes, correct. Comic version of anime is the manga type.

Oh oh, a brief intro on InitialD. It is about streetcar racing on mountains.
I like this anime because it uses not only 2D animation but also uses 3D animation, especially in the racing part. So, it is like Gran Turismo racing but with the characters in 2D.

Check it out from http://www.geocities.com/go2initiald/main.html
You can even download it but only for the current ones.
They even have it on the arcade version. The PC version is not good.

Mainly I like it because it has 3D graphics animation in it as most or almost all the other anime I see is only in 2D.

Have fun.

Anyone seen Akira... or Tokyo Godfathers. Are they any good...

[dreamwh]

I'm looking for Grave of The Fireflies... heard its bloody good and sad. Any idea where i can get them?

[Dino]

Yeah, Graveyard of the Fireflies is damn sad. Very depressing but i give it two thumbs up though. Akira and Tokyo Godfathers are good also.
Tokyo Godfathers is damn funny, highly recommended!!!!

Will definately check that out!!!

Did you guys know that there is even a anime version of the Ramayana (Hindu epic about Lord Rama)... bloody action packed and quite bloody. Almost feels like battlestar galactica!!!

Rama looks a little oriental though...

No never heard of it. Is it by Japanese or Indians?? Any weblinks??

[dreamwh]

Its an India-Japan cultural collaboration... I watched it in English, its available in several languages i think. Was made in the mid-90s actually.

The only page with images i could find was

Yeah, i suspected so. I have seen clips of it on TV and it sounded familiar.


Btw guys, if you have not heard of AppleSeed the movie, you have to watch the trailer. I am sure you'll get hooked on it..

[Robin Kok CH]

Wah, how come you all recommend all those bloody bloody ones?
Not bloody bloody ones also have those s** ones....

Sorry ah, my taste different a bit....

[Hisham]

I think RTM showed that Ramayana movie two consecutive Deepavalis in the 90s. It was in like 8.00am or something like that when everyone was still asleep.

Akira is the groundbreaking anime that crossed over to the west. The story is classic Katsuhiro Otomo. He's drawn several manga which features psi powers gone beserk like Domu and Fireball.

And oh, new Otomo movie coming out: Steam Boy (http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=18424).

[Dino]

.

And oh, new Otomo movie coming out: Steam Boy (http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=18424).

OOoohhh....that want is on top of my watch lists. I recall Mizayaki's coming out with a new one. Can't recall what its call.

[Hisham]

I forgot about this one: Wonderful Days from Korea. Fantastic animation, CGI and music, even if the story is a bit tepid.

Whole world is polluted air, sea and land, except for the Sisil Island in the Pacific, where the remnants of civilization has established a city known as Ecoban. Unfortunately, the people of Ecoban has been oppressing the remained of the human civilization who lives outside of Ecoban.

[DocMac]

Japanese anime is NOT all about blood, guts, and gore!
Sadly misrepresented - just because with anime, there are very few boundaries, and it got a lot of bad (or some would say good) press for showing so much violence
On the other end of the spectrum, you also have Rom/Com stories (romantic comedy) - like Kimagure Orange Road, Love Hina; adventure types - One Piece (pirates), Slayers, Detective Conan (mystery), Naruto (light hearted ninja-type); even strange ones about sports (Slam Dunk) and even bread-making (yakitate japan). Of course there are also the robots - like macross and gundam and eva. Don't forget that the notorious Doremon is also considered japanese anime.

And the list just goes on and on...

[Hisham]

How come one, you never mention.....

I just watched Akira... Brilliant. Now i can't wait for more Otomo movies. Are there anymore?

I went out and bought Ghost In The Shell 1&2, Memories, Tokyo Godfathers, and the entire studio Ghibli movies last weekend.

Next on my list is Cowboy Bebop, Millenium Actress and Metropolis. Also waiting for Steam-Boy and Miyazaki's new one.

Anime movies are light-years ahead of anything the western studios have ever produced (including their live action movies)... except maybe for Fight-Club.

[dreamwh]

I stumbled upon this while surfing... http://www.neo-fukuoka.com/. Cool or what... Its the bike from Akira.

Cool bike...does it really run or is it for show only?

[Hisham]

That is awesome. I'd like to know if it's operable as well. Can't read Japanese.

its an actual working prototype... but speed limit is 100mph.

[dreamwh]

anyone has seen Memories? The one with three short stories....

[Dino]

anyone has seen Memories? The one with three short stories....

Is that good? I copied it but have not seen it yet.

[dreamwh]

I think its really good... I liked Cannon Fodder the best. It seems to represent a microcosm of our world. A bit short though...

I liked Stink Bomb too but the music was irritating at times.

Some guy was saying Magnetic Rose is like Stanley Kubrick's 2001. Now i have to go get that too...

[dreamwh]

Dino, Do you read sci-fi?

[Hisham]

I have a manga short story collection by Katsuhiro Otomo called Memories...

http://www.interq.or.jp/blue/junya/appleparadise/images/ok/ok-12-memories.gif

But mine is translated to English. They made an anime out of it?

Sounds like the same thing... three stories;

Magnetic Rose - about a salvage crew finding the tomb of an opera star in a space junkyard.

Stink Bomb- about some guy who took some medicine by accident and started to stink

Cannon Fodder - A parallel world (i think) where the only industry seems to be making weapons and waging war against an unseen enemy.

[Dino]

Dino, Do you read sci-fi?

Nope....don't read. Lazy! :D

[Hisham]

Nope....don't read. Lazy! :D

Shame on thee! Shame!!! ;)




Cause there's always TV.

[clos]

is this cute too? :D

Imagination very hopeless when it comes to reading sci-fi. :o

[dreamwh]

sci-fi is really cool... that's why i think i like anime. Most of them are like really cool sci-fi stories... in a visual form.

[Dino]

My problem with anime sometimes is the dream like story line. Eg: I would love it if i can get pass the floating like character in Evangelion. Half the time, that kid piss me off by acting like a drama-queen!!!

[dreamwh]

I have the same problem with some of their movies as well... like Kairo. The explanation for the appearence of ghosts sounds ridiculous.

I have this theory that the japanese "sense" of logic or reality is different from the western views... Maybe that's why we cannot seem to make sense of their stories.

For instance, there are somethings about our own cultures (chinese or indian) that, try as we may, we can never seem to explain to a orang-puteh. And they brand us primitive for thinking like that.

[dreamwh]

There's this book by Arthur C Clarke, "Childhood's End" which is about the next step in man's evolution... The ending sequence is almost like Akira. But Books can get into the skin and thoughts of the characters, thus they can explain better motivations and reasoning. That book's ending made sense and because of that it was haunting... and disturbing. (Hollywood is making a movie out of it, but i doubt they'll be able to do justice). You should try it, guarantee you'll love it. Very short, about 200 pages.

Akira's ending is wierd and abstract... Probably only Otomo understands it.

[dreamwh]

I finally saw Grave Of the Fireflies... damn sedih movie la. Probably the most touching movie i have ever seen. Can only watch it once, too depressing...

[Dino]

I finally saw Grave Of the Fireflies... damn sedih movie la. Probably the most touching movie i have ever seen. Can only watch it once, too depressing...

Yah...i watch it once..did not even bother watching it again.....seeing that little girl breaks my heart!!! :(

[dreamwh]

Especially when she says thank you to the brother... just before dying.

And also the scene where she waits for the brother outside the police station... pitiful.

[dreamwh]

extracts from people on amazon.com:

"I generally don't cry at movies. I love any movie that can move me enough to shed a tear or two. Grave Of the Fireflies is not one of those movies. In those movies even though I'm sad the final scenes leave me with a residual hope that while some tragic event has just occured the charecters involved will grow and live better. Grave of the Fireflies doesn't do this. There is no hope or possiabilty of things getting better. This is Life at it's cruelest. Life that will never get better. This movie doesn't move you, it shatters you."

- Ian Krupnick


"Graves of the Fireflies" is an unforgettable film, one which will reduce most viewers to tears if not outright sobbing. Watching it is a painful experience, but then a film depicting the horrors of war and showing what happens to young children is supposed to have that effect. Viewing it a second time makes the experience even more intense (you probably will not catch what Setsuko's last words are the first time through, but be prepared for what it will do to you when you watch the film again). You will never, ever forget this film and you should be very, very careful about showing it to younger children, because it will change forever what they think about animated films. It will do that for you as well."

- Lawrence M. Bernabo



The saddest part is its based on a true story...

[Dino]

I think a lot of people only think anime as cartoon...but its more about story at the end of the day!!!

[Robin Kok CH]

Graves of the Fireflies, really so tough movie to watch ah?

[Dino]

Try it...you'll see what we mean...

[Robin Kok CH]

Ok, will do....

[dreamwh]

Guaranteed you'll cry... i agree on the part about it shattering you. It definately will...

Don't expect too much in way of cutting edge graphics though... the story is what matters.

[Hisham]

Check! Next on my to-watch list. Thanks for the recommendation, people.

[Robin Kok CH]

Hisham...you so ON ah?

[Hisham]

No, I'm so OFF.

[dreamwh]

I watched studio Ghibli's "Nausicaa of the Valley of The Winds" and "Pom Poko" on tuesday. Quite good both. Pompoko was funny gilababi, Nausicaa is a little serious... both stories about the destruction of the environment by mankind (just like Princess Mononoke).

[[f]ish]

omg, i missed out this thread earlier.. anime.. VERY NICE!!! haha

well currently i'm following 2 japanese animes. IMHO japanese animes are much better than those western animes..

any of u guys watching naruto and bleach? past few months was boring cause both also airing the fillers and not the actual story (according to manga).. and now it seems like both have come back the right track following manga. cool! haha..

anyway, hope some ppl can post more in here to discuss about anime.. it's something fun to talk about i think..

naruto shinppuden?

what is shinppuden? i thot it's just naruto? anyway from ur nick i already know u are one anime freak. ur name kage is taken from naruto i suppose..

some more using Kakashi's avatar. haha..

heheheheh, yeah. naruto freakazoid here. naruto shinppuden means naruto: hurricane. the 3rd season of naruto i think...basically its the continuation of the anime back to the manga story arc. definately more interesting.

yeah, shiruikage is a bit like corruption. actually its a typo mistake. in naruto, there hokage (fire chief), kazekage (lightning chief), suikage(water chief) and 2 others i din know, so i thit, since i like this thing so much, might as well make up an internet nick using those elements. kage means shadow actually, but combine it with the other words, it means something else. so i thot, why not shadow chief, or i prefer, white shadow? shiroi=white, kage=shadow. a name in contradiction. hahahah, but i type too fast the first time, so end up as shirUikage.

and yeah, kakashi is my fav charater in the show.

haha, kakashi eh? well i know one thing about kakashi other than his sharingan eyes.. he's number 2, in being most 'hamsap' in the story.. haha. the number 1 no need for me to say u know who la, The Perverted Hermit.. haha.

anyway, i check out something to share with u. earlier i thot kage is something like ketua kampung and it's kinda true..

Kages

Each village has a Kage. A Kage is like a governor; he/she runs their village. There are a total of 5 Kages. The Kage is usually the strongest person in the village. Each Kage is chosen by it's villagers to rule and command it's army of ninjas and regulate the village. Kages manage most of important issues that relate to the village such as money and anything else a normal governor would do. They are public icons and are usually in public events held within the village.

and also, the list of Kages in different villages..

Hokage
Hokage is the name of the Kage of the Leaf Village. Hokage translates to: Fire Shadow

Kazekage
Kazekage is the name of the Kage of the Sand Village. Kazekage translates to: Wind Shadow

Raikage
Raikage is the Kage of the Lightning Village. Raikage translates to: Lightning Shadow

Mizukage
Mizukage is the Kage of the Water Village. Mizukage translates to Water Shadow

Tsuchikage
Tsuchikage is the Kage of the Earth Village. Tsuchikage translates to Earth Shadow.

it's getting interesting now the story ever since it's been returning to it's original story line in accordance to manga.. waiting to see naruto's new rasengan.. haha

anyway, u not watching bleach?

[VJ]

arghhhh, i cant believe i mixed up 2 of their name! arfghhhhh! dem, forgot the other word for water is mizu, dem, y still i use sui? kaze is wind rite? hmm, there are oso a few other kage that is not that famous tho. like Hoshikage (star village's head.).

anywy, i got watch bleach leh. dem cool, at least the bantou story arch is finished. i hate that arc.
also tried watching samurai champloo, finished it, and after watching it, totally have no idea wat it was about. :wacko:

anyway, just some thots: holliwood has done away with traditional 2D animation for their cartoons, wonder why japan still sticks to 2D? i think its coz of the flavor of their anime that cannot be replicated with 3D. and, their 2D/3D blending is top notch. yes? with such a cool factor in their making, how can anyone hate them?

[[f]ish]

anyone who never watches cartoons/ hates them in here??

even if got, i don't think so they dare to post here :p cause all flamethrowers are ready to bbq anyone who does that.. HAHA. just joking la. why? u dun like animes?

cartoons or anime is a part of a normal gal/boy's childhood.. if u ask me who hates or don't watch anime at all i'd say maybe that person is a total nerd OR maybe he/she is so poor until got no tv (but this doesn't mean he/she hates anime).

anyway, anime for a kid is 'entertaining' some sorts of like drama series for adults if u get what i mean. but sometimes a grown-up kid still loves anime mainly because they still find it entertaining (compared to some lovey dovey drama series) and MAYBE they still young inside :)

i think fantasy + adventure + magic = GOOD anime.. :D
well, they use guns as well as there is one creature which can shoot out firepower straight from his month!! :laugh:

[[f]ish]

wow.. so scary arr.

anyway, i got 1 more anime to recommend.. i heard it's quite nice too.

Shaman King.. also got firepower, magic etc stuff.

my year mates got a lot of anime freaks too.. i try to get them come in and posts too.. Dih Chuan, How Wang, Soon Lee and i dunno Tze Liang still got watch or not.

[shiruikage]

naudesico is something like fantasy science fiction leh. but semantcs aside, i find the animation style abit...dated. story is nice tho.

shamn king rox, but i din manage to finis it coz my fren ar, (*ehem, jerry *ehem!) dl one ar, bad quality one. see oso beh song. but i read the comic a little. good plot.

fish, if u like firepower or wat not, surely u like slayers, the series, not the movie. rite?

i heard of the slayers but no chance to catch it.. zzz waiting for a chance to get a pc at home and wired it up. then can dl tons of anime and 'cook porridge' at night lo.. zzzz..

just name a few of those firepower ones la, will jot it down and try get next time lo. haha..

btw, u watch Kamen Riders or not? old ones are like Kamen Rider Black then followed by Kamen Rider Rx. i like the theme song, got it in my CD and listening to it once a while.. i saw recently theres this Kamen Rider Kabuto.. animations effects pretty cool but dunno how's the storyline. didn't watch it just had a glance when those ppl watching from U-tube.

[PreciousPearl]

am just watching Ghost in the Shell SAC II again. the philosophy is cleverer than SAC I but the action/ ideas are better in the first. Laughing Man rulez OK!

GITS Innocence was quite enjoyable - some really impressive animation with the carnival scenes. Now waiting for Solid State Society to be released on DVD here ....... maybe next yr or the yr after :(

wei shaman king i borrow u one quality bad meh?
anyway i heard that the anime version of shaman king differs a lot from the original comics.
Heard that comics very good, anime very good at first but the ending is not seriously done :squeeze:

always like this one la. always beginning very nice, follow 100% manga one. then half way it'll differs for half a year then maybe come back to original story line again. maybe they want to make sure the anime dont catch up to manga that fast lo. 1 episode of anime is about 2-2.5 episodes of manga..

is shaman king fully out? i mean the anime is all out dy?? then might want to go download.

nowadays u can get some really cheap original animes during some sales.. book outlets like popular or mph sometimes during sales will sell those old classis animes very cheap. bought mospeada last year i think

Anime by Gonzo usually starts out fine but bog down in the end
Anime by Clamp is more for female watchers...

Hentai more towards porn(from soft all the way to NO WAY!!!). ;)

hentai is porn. hentai basically means pervert in japanese, so...there are no hentai that is...how do u say it in english, non-porno. :rolleyes:

prolly get whacked for saying this, some are really well made to the point of being artistic.

well cartoon they can be more hhmm.. creative maybe? it's something like watching spiderman movie and spiderman cartoon.. whatever cannot be done in movie can be realized in cartoon i think.. just draw draw only mah.. haha.. ppl with good and rich imaginations might tend to prefer cartoons compared to real stuff. that's where their imagination can be fulfilled and satisfied.

[WaterFish]

walau.... did not log in for a few days and see what happened ><... got cucuk from behind kau kau... sorry. my error... should have been gigabytes ^^

no lar... i cannot do side income coz by now most of my collection can also be bought from shops in Lau Yat Plaza. I have friends who download like crazy during their uni years and i used to ronda the area around KL every few weeks from Wangsa Maju to Petaling Jaya to Putrajaya to visit these friends of mine to borrow whatever they download and to burn a copy for myself... after 1-2 year of doing so, only the Malaysian pirate community caught up with what my friends have been doing and started selling dvds containing the fansubs. So for some time whatever fansub anime available in the Malaysian market, i already have... After i graduate, i stopped collecting so the later ones i do not have and by now these are already available in the market. So no need to look for me what, can either buy yourself or just download if your connection is good.

There are a few manner of obtaining anime online. On is direct file download... very rare. Normally people download via bittorrent or via MIRC.

The fansub stuff is much nicer than the officially licenses translation as the fansub has better quality control while the official translated stuffs are usually translated from Chinese.... soo... it is bad in term of quality.

on a side note... i have heard of a guy who collected about a thoudsand CDs worth of hentai and porn ^^. Never met him ^^ but he is from Malaysia ^^

i'm a fan of anime too :) husband as well. have loads of animes at home. but no hentais, unless hubby hid it somewhere i'm unaware of :P i find watching animes very relaxing. and most of the time, very meaningful as well. current follower of naruto - anime and manga and bleach.

last night i borrowed and watched my cousin's Howl's moving castle, which is by Studio Ghibli. I've watched Spirited away. is there any other animes by them worth watching?

yes, i think for us anime lovers we do agree to 1 thing. watching animes is relaxing.. kinda bring back the old memories.. haha.. the current 2 animes u watching are the favs one both in japan and malaysia i think.

u need to wait for our anime freak (shirui and waterfish) to give u more infos on studio ghibli's production. earlier i think athena did mentioned a few series by that producer.. usually i watch anime i don't bother to remember the company that produces them.. hhmm.. might be more alert next time..

Kiki's Delivery Service (1989) --- this is only so-so for me.

Whisper of the Heart (1995) --- Bob's fav? hehe. Nice love story but i like Cat return better
Princess Mononoke (1997) --- this is nice!!!
Spirited Away (2001) --- this is also nice

Howl's Moving Castle (2004) --- THIS ROCKS!!!

[[f]ish]

[waiyeng]

hey people

thanks for your reply and reviews too. arigato gozaimasu. read the review too late though coz i was in penang over the weekend and saw the whole studio ghibli DVD collection on sale. all 14 movies i think, so i just grabbed it :) so far, i've watched princess mononoke and grave of the fireflies. the first one's nice, but the latter, i've gotta agree with athena, too sad for my liking as well... i was sincerely hoping for at least a happy ending as with most cartoons...and yes, both spirited away and howl's moving castle ROCKS! :)

last week i was down with flu and fever for a few days and had a marathon watching reruns of Samurai X, including the OVA series. This has got to the one of the best animes around, in my opinion.

I think naruto and bleach are not only popular in Malaysia but all over the world. brother was in the US when he caught the fan bug and husband was in Australia then too. all are naruto followers, so naturally i caught the bug too :)

by the way, anime fans would also know of Full Metal Panic right? do you agree that Full Metal Panic: Overload is the funniest anime of all times?

whoops, sorry, i can go on and on about animes...

[shiruikage]

full metal panic is funny? since when? hahahh. i mean the girls are nicely drawn (dem i love those blur hair!), and there are some pretty funny situations, but overall a funny movie? not quite kuar? its so serious!:amazed:

[[f]ish]

would like to check something guys.. there is a manga series North Star Big Dipper (not sure?).. just wondering is this manga available in anime also?

this manga is quite bloodied type.. with heads and bodies exploding when acupunture type of kungfu is performed.. haha..

[shiruikage]

i think the name is fist of the north star. the guy with 7 puncture scars on his chect and can me ppl explode/die in ultra violent ways. yes, there is an anime based on the manga. but i not sure which studio released that. its been a long time since i watched it. and oh, btw, the anime version is a much watered down in violence...which kinda kills the feel of the manga.

full metal panic ar...? i watched the two serious ones... there was three series... i did not watched the funny one... if i am not mistaken the fist and third series was serious type. only the second series is funny....

bleach is nice... naruto finally got back to the actual story... my friend was cursing the filler all this time ^^

Hihi, obviously u haven't watch the Overload series :P. that's the 2nd series that waterfish mentioned. I just bought the 3rd series. haven't started on it yet. To me, the Overload series was worth watching la :) Ermm, blur hair?? the captain Tessa ah???

I know alot of ppl have been complaining bout the Naruto fillers, i guess i must be one of the rare ones who actually like the fillers. But Naruto: Shippuden is gonna be really exciting :D

I suppose nobody here watches the more girly animes hor... like fruit basket and Him and her? haha, guess not..

:laugh: ....no wonder my gals r addicted to animax in astro too.
Quinz was the one who started watching, then her little sis got
addicted too. I had to lock that channel during week days to
prevent my little gal from watching, cos' she'll neglect her
homework and stayed glued to that channel.:squeeze:
Weekends and hols, she's free to watch them. :D

my fren recommended to me 2 anime. she said its very good. i watched it and it is very good. try searching for Kekkaishi and Nodame Cantible. another anime which i find interesting is Darker than Black. a sci-fi type. Kekkaishi literally means Barrier User, and its a story about a boy who fights monsters in his school. Nodame is a must for classical music lovers as it chronicles the life of a violinist who aspires to be a world class conductor. his muse is a women named Noda Megume (hence nodame).
