Animes in general

[Amano]

What is the weirdist anime you have ever seen?
Or the best anime you have ever seen?
I thought the Overfeind series was the s**t! It was so funny! Read  my comment in the review section if you wanna know what I really liked about it.
I also like Dragonball Z and am currently watching the series on cartoon network... I consider myself an anime buff so e-mail me if you have any questions in which to test my vast knowage!!

Weirdest anime I have seen must be Ghost in the Shell, which I saw yesterday for the first time. But it was a good movie.

The best anime I've seen must be Akira or Princess Mononoke.

I've only seen few anime movies, because I just recently became interested in anime.

Don't have access to a lot of Anime, but i'm getting what the library has when it comes in. How about...mentioning favorite theme tunes, and over all music scores? The Themes to Gunsmith cats and Cowboy Bebop ar way cool Jazz, and i realy like Tenchi Muyo and Gundam 0083. The overall scores for Akira, Macross and Patlabor work for me too.

I also like Dragonball Z

I'm trying to reconcile those two sentences in my mind, but it isn't easy


Anyway...best anime?


Lessee...."Ghost In The Shell" definately ranks, as well as "Perfect Blue", "Iria", "Battle Angel", "Ninja Scroll", "Galaxy Express 999" and the "Ranma 1/2" series.  There's others, but those usually pop to mind when I think 'anime'

[The Honn]

My anime experience is:
Akira (classic, deep, meaningful, beautiful)
Ghost in the Shell (same as Akira)
3x3 Eyes (1-5. This series will always be my favourite of them all series or movies. Im not sure why but I love it above all the others.)
Battle Angel (short but sweet)
Fist of the North Star (awful, in a very entertaining way)
Street Fighter 2 (see FOTNS)
Wind of Amnesia (I only managed to watch it once then the VCR chewed it up.)
The Guyver series (hilarious, whether its meant to be or not)
Judge (Good...thats it)
The Heroic Legend of Arislan (1-3, 4 doesnt seem to exist here in the UK. The first part is absolutely beautiful, the art and the music are stunning. Quality declined as the series goes on but still good)
X (I cant decide if this thing is good or bad. The music is great, the visuals are great but....Jesus)
Ultimate Teacher (AWESOME :-D)

Ive never seen the more twisted stuff, like Legend of The Overfiend and in all honesty I dont really want to. As for what Ive seen, X is probably the weirdest although they all have their fair share of surrealism.

Urusei Yatsura, especially the first and second movie
Perfect Blue
Mononoke Hime
Akira
Flower Bascet

[BlackAngel]

Here's my list of good animes:

Akira (the best)
Ghost In The Shell (also the best)
Ninja Scrolls (ever seen a sword like that?)
Fatal Fury2 (nice fighting scenes)
Vampire Hunter D (the first)

As for the weirdest, I have two that can probably fit that catogory:

F3 (Frantic, Frustrated, Female)
Rei-Rei

I'm fairly new to this as well, so if any of y'all have any suggestion on good feature length animes (no 30-45min. snipets) post some, or evenb e-mail.  It's all good.

C-ya

Glad to see another admirer of "Perfect Blue"

Was "Urusei Yatsura" by the same guy that did "Ranma 1/2" about a student studying for his school  tests and living in a boarding house and getting (or trying to get ) romantically invovled with the person who managed the house?  Or am I thinking of a different series?

[Jay O'Connor]

oops...sorry, the series I'm thinking of is called "Maison Ikkoku", which was written by the same guy who wrote some of the Ranma and Urusei anime

[Lee]

Some of my faves:

Tenchi Muyo(can't explain why it just cracks me up.)
The Guyver
Akira(bizarre bu some cool moments)
Ninja Scroll


Plan on checking out Metropolis soon just to see if what everybody says is true.

That guy is actually a woman.

An anime that is very weird and very good, check out NEON GENESIS: EVANGELION.  One of the best series I've seen.  However, I haven't seen all of the episodes, and I hear it craps out at the end.  If you don't mind a whiny main character, you should be entertained.

AKIRA, GHOST IN THE SHELL, and NINJA SCROLL are classics.

SERIAL EXPERIMENTS: LAIN is also seriously bizarre.  It's about a little girl who's dead classmate starts talking to her through her computer.

The best anime I've seen recently would definitely be METROPOLIS, which I was lucky enough to catch in the theater.  It's based off a comic by the "God of Anime" Osamu Tezuka.  I recommend this movie to everybody, even those who don't like anime, or movies.  Top notch.

> That guy is actually a woman.

I'm from the northern United States...'guy' is gender neutral :)

>NEON GENESIS: EVANGELION

I've heard it's great but since most of my sources are places like "Hollywood Video" and "Hastings" I've been leery about getting into it unless I know I can get all the episodes

>SERIAL EXPERIMENTS: LAIN

Thanks...that's at the local Hastings and I've been curious about it

[Vincent Price]

The weirdest ever? The F3 series.
The best? Either Akira or Vampire Hunter D.

[Erik J]

I like some of the older stuff
Crying Freeman is a great series
I also loved Starblazers is my absolute favorite

I noticed everyone mention japanese anime
Why not some american anime?
Heavy Metal and American Pop were great

[Neville]

Im not watching many anime these days, but I remember some of them with pleasure...

Films: Battle Angel & First of the North Star, both excellent.

TV Series: Ranma 1/2 made me laugh constantly, but it can't beat Dr. Slump wild imagination and humour. Oh, and how could I forget Lupin III !!!
The first seasons of Dragon Ball were great as well, before all that weird sci-fi twists and neverending battles.
