re: Anime Fans - Recommendations in OP **Awesomeness Edition**

I watch all the anime in subs, never the dubs.

the following are what I really enjoyed

quote:

---

Samurai Champloo: very good, cool soundtrack, graffiti, edgy, break dance samurai
Hellsing: all the Hellsings are good, they are making another OAV
Cowboy Bebop: phenomenal story
Trigun: enjoyed the western cowboy take
Akira: where it all starts, the genesis. It is amazing
Ghost in the Shell: pretty damn good, some of the movies aren't as good as the others, and the TV show is pretty solid
Yuyu Hakusho: problematic ending, because the manga ended half assed as well. cool fights, nice human v demons take
Rurouni Kenshin: great samurai series
Darker Than Black: first season is great, doesn't hold up nearly as well as it goes on
Macross: great mech like Evangelion
Ninja Scroll: very dark samurai, wish it was longer, entertaining
Death Note: thrilling, good story
Lupin the Third: nice crime stories and very funny. the original seasons are so old and tough to watch visually though
FMA brotherhood: follows the actual manga storyline, and was redone with better animation
princess mononoke: extremely good film

Some of the above are movies, some tv series, some both. I just took what had been listed through out the thread. Some of the TV series have some pretty worthwhile stand alone movies worth checking out.

As far as anime movies there are a ton of amazing films worth checking out, but that will be for another time.
