    Pykmi, gonna try a guess at Medical Police Detective Psycho... I know it's wrong. The style reminds me of it...

    Nil_IQ, watch RahXephon. Superb story (Especially Ep18)

    Palmaneen. Without even trying to think of one. Any scene in Spirited Away where they are in the public baths while it's open.

    Try pretty much all of Akira?

    Yeah. Akira, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke... There's plenty.

    Random facts:

    End of Evangelion is essentially the replacement episodes for Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes 25 and 26.

    I can't remember the details correctly, but I think it went along the lines of Gainax ran out of money and rather end the series correctly they produced those 2 horrid episodes in a rush. Then they recieved a lot of hate mail and death threats, so they produced the End of Evangelion to replace them.

    EoE is divided into 2 eps and ep25 finishes more or less in the middle of the movie.

    End of Evangelion Ep25's title = Air and Love is Destructive
    Ep26's title = My Pure Heart for You
    Or they're back to front, can't remember.

    So ESSENTIALLY, Evangelion is a 24ep series with a movie at the end of it.
    So it's sorta like the way Key The Metal Idols conclusion comes about (Which was 13eps and 2 movies at the end. The first movie was <b>NOTHING BUT TALKING FOR 2 HOURS</b>)

    ****. Urge to watch Key... rising....


    EDIT: Also... I think the 2nd half of NGE: Death and Rebirth is actually the 1st part of End of Evangelion (Ep25)... blagh can't remember it correctly.

    I'm not reading the above post unless you clearly mark the spoilers, you spoiler you.

    I'm on ep10 now, i'm going to watch 11 and 12 today and i'll borrow the rest of the series on monday. I'm going to watch it to the end however "brain intensive" it might be. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> It can't be much worse than the Matrix Revolutions....

    I don't know if my m8 has the NGE movie, but he seems to have every anime in the history of existence so I should think he does.

    As for RahXephon, i've emailed my m8 and he says he's got it and he'll bring the first couple on monday. Don't I have a great m8? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    There. Edited out the very minor spoiler (Which wasn't any worse than watching a trailer for it)

    Evangelion gets... very philosophical near the end. I mean very very very philosophical. It still doesn't hold a candle to the mind **** Serial Experiments Lain is...

    You'll watch RahXephon and think "Hey this reminds me a lot of Evangelion"
    I watched it too and my first impression was exactly that. But that all changes after the 1st episode...
    RahXephon adds in some random crap near the end that wasn't really needed, but... RahXephon's 'crap' is still a lot better than Evangelions 'crap'

    Ah RahXephon. I just finished watching that. Such a great anime. Really has nothing in common with Eva though, which to me is a good thing as I didn't enjoy Eva. (before someone jumps on me about that, I just didn't like it, just a matter of taste. if you liked it, that's cool). For those of you who claim anime has crappy art, animation, characters, and stories, watch RahXephon. The art and animation are superb, the music is incredible. Plus the story is intricate and full of very real and interesting characters.

    Btw, Inf, good purchase with the Escaflowne movie. The show is excellent and the movie is a nice addition even though it has nothing to do with the show.
  • OttoDestructOttoDestruct Join Date: 2002-11-08 Member: 7790Members
    Ok Ill come up with some more questions.. though most of them are nub stuff that wont put a dent in Inf..

    1) Who is Akira Toriyama, and what series is based off his work, technically not a part of the storyline

    2) I live with a bunch of women, fighting evil from the universe with my energy sword thingy. I've starred in NUMEROUS series and two (I think, two or three) movies. Who am I?

    3) (VERY EASY!!!) This series features a dorm for girls, and a young man who has failed to get into school who has to live here. Lots of fanservice.

    4) A young man has been teleported onto a strange planet where he finds a girl being attacked by an ape. Soon he unravels a huge plot threatening this planet while he tries to find a way back home. Series shares story to a PS1 RPG.
  • pieceofsoappieceofsoap Join Date: 2002-11-21 Member: 9535Members, Constellation
    1) Akira Toriyama is a famed Manga Artist, responsible for such Manga as Dr Slump, Kajica, Cowa, and of course, the absurdly popular Dragon Ball Series. (Yes, the Anime is crap, no, the Manga is not crap)

    2) Tenchi Muyo

    3) Love Hina, by Ken Akamatsu. I own the entire Manga Series, and refuse to let any dormmate watch the anime if they havent read the books...

    4) Argh! Name Not Registering!

    Oh well.

    All right except technically number 1's answer would be Dragonball GT. It was indeed based off his work, but he didn't create it himself, and number 4 being Star Ocean EX

    I liked Dragonball but Z and GT are just garbage.

    Dragonball is god.
    Dragonball Z's story could have been done in half the eps
    Dragonball GT is a mockery of all that is holy.



    Nowwwwww Inf's Name the Series turn! I only give very small hints

    1.) Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu (Forms of attack)

    2.) Gomu gomu (An attack)

    3.) Mune mune (Characters name)

    4.) My body temperature is 37.5*C! (Opening lyrics)

    5.) Series similar to Street Fighter, but actually has PROPER Street Fighting.


    That should be fun enough for the time being.... The first 2 are pretty easy...

    I'd like to point out that Love Hina is by no means the only example. A young man living with a dorm full of girls lots of fan service is practically a <i>genre</i>.

    Harem Anime annoys me no end... it's been done to death, frankly Love Hina was the last time I enjoyed the Genre.
    Wow, you're a nerd/loser and now you have 10 girls after you.... that's compelling story!

    For number 5 I'm gonna take a guess and say Fatal Fury even though I know thats gotta be wrong, since most of it is somewhat cheezy DBZ-esque combat.
  • pieceofsoappieceofsoap Join Date: 2002-11-21 Member: 9535Members, Constellation
    #1 is Naruto, for sure.
    #2 is... One Piece? Friend o mines got the Manga, Im gonna grab it of him someday, and when I get more HD space Ill grab the anime series (Its not liscensed! w00!)

    #5... Could be anything really... Ikkitousen? (More fanservice in that show than... Well, lets just say that if scenes extended, it would be Hentai.)
  • InfinitumInfinitum Anime Encyclopedia Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1111Members, Constellation
    Pieceofsoap got the first 2.

    You're both wrong about number 5 though.
