My computer is a jerkface, so I've been watching Netflix the past two nights. I decided to start Witchblade. I'm 12 of 24 episodes through so far. It's alright. It's pretty much what you expect from an action anime. Blood. Meh plot. Violence. Big bewbs. Some fail comic-relief characters.

I thought the show had a lot more potential, really. It's not bad, though. Not that great, either.

FLCL is one of the most overrated anime ever.

I liked it well enough, but I can easily understand why someone wouldn't.

FLCL is the best six-episode OVA ever, so you should kill your friend.

Also, the anime is called FLCL. Fooly Cooly is just the pronunciation.

Gunbuster is significantly better.

I'm gonna make my totally unprecedented entry into this thread by asking if anyone has ever seen Akira, because it slightly interests me. My fear is it being too anime-ish*, however it's being remade in live-action with Helena Bonham Carter, so...




*Too anime-ish being defined as:
Lightning
 
Squid Girl

Lightning
 
Blood. Meh plot. Violence. Big bewbs. Some fail comic-relief characters.

I've never seen it. Some anime fans think it's really overrated. Most consider it a classic. I doubt it'd be "too anime-y", personally.

Apparently, it's considered to be THE anime movie, but I haven't seen it. I also haven't heard anything bad about it, so I'm interested in it. And it sounds too serious to be what you define as "anime-ish".

As for the live-action film...

Kristen Stewart has been offered to play the female role of Kei.

DO NOT WANT!

>concurrer

Like...someone who concurs?

Conqueror of Shamballa*

So I just finished I My Me! Strawberry Eggs last night. Definitely an awesome anime about cross-dressing, love, coming to terms with your sexuality, and reverse sexism...lots of reverse sexism. The sexism can get annoying at times, but it's necessary for the plot (would the story work if the sexist antagonists were even the tiniest bit likable? I didn't think so...). The ending was bittersweet, but it was definitely the best ending they could have gone with (as opposed to the cliche-as-fuck ending they could have done). I guess the only complaint I have is the voices could be a bit better, but I'm chalking that up to both the video quality and how old the dub is (a little over nine years, I believe). The dub was done by Geneon, and their dubs are usually average.

Oh, and did I mention the cross-dresser (Hibiki Amawa) is voiced by Crispin Freeman? That alone was reason enough for me to watch it. :P

Gawd, I wish I never watched this. Definitely a bleh ending to an otherwise fantastic series.

Worse than the final two eps of NGE?

I would consider End of Evangelion as the end of that series, which was a fantastic ending.
