I'm not sure if it truly counts, but how about Hellsing?

Had to think about it, but I would have to say Chobits for its predictable ending....but to be fair, it ended up the same in the manga, so I would have to say the same for its manga counterpart. I was hoping that the anime would go off on a tangent and choose a different ending.

I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler, so none of the above for me. lol

Hm, I guess I could say the Sailor Moon theme. DiC's Sailor Moon theme because it's so close to Moonlight Densetsu. lol

I don't favor this over the original (Head Chala), but I do like it....Rock the Dragon from DBZ.

The Monster Rancher theme. It's catchy to me.

Samurai Pizza Cats theme. It's just too funny.

It is beautiful. You will love it, I'm sure. Especially after looking at the other soundtracks you like.

I'm glad you share my love of Sonic 2's soundtrack.

Hm, I like quite a few. Some of my favorite soundtracks are...

Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Chorno Cross

Final Fantasy IV, VI, IX, X

Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess

I just recently bought the soundtrack to Breath of the Wild (even though I can't play it). I haven't listened to it yet, though. I hear it's really nice, though.

Is this better?

I think it should always be sorted out by genre. For instance, in the first post, Clannad After Story was mentioned. I saw it...it was...okay, I guess, but that style and genre just isn't for a person like me. Too sappy.

For extreme stupidity and comedic randomness, I would recommend a series like Excel Saga or the Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu series.

For something with sci-fi and action, I would recommend Cowboy Bebop.

For people who like big robots and mechs, I would just point them to the Gundam franchise. It has a 40-year history...one of the series are bound to draw a person in.

For a fighting series, I guess I'd recommend Dragon Ball, Hunter x Hunter, Naruto, etc.

So, um, yeah... lol

A couple of series I really like are Yoroiden Samurai Troopers and Lupin III (1971 version)...but neither are timeless as they definitely reflect the times they were made in, especially the latter. It just screams late 60s/early 70s. To me, it's like comparing the 1960s run of the Jetsons with its 1980s run. As a kid, I definitely preferred the latter as the former felt slightly sexist to me...especially that STUPIDITY over how bad women drivers were.

Hm, maybe a good example of a "timeless classic" is something like Sazae-san. You can pick it up anyplace, and it doesn't feel too dated despite its being on since 1969. The writers/animators purposely keep it that way too, I heard. It's not boggled down by a lot of pop cultural references or a lot of super high technological gadgets. The stories are also nice and simplistic and good for the whole family.

I guess another I'd pick is maybe Cowboy Bebop. It's set in the future, but it isn't too farfetched either. It had nice characters, stories, action in some eps, etc.

A couple more amazon purchases. I bought a cute little Niffler for my keys and decided to buy a case for my macbook since I tend to handle it a bit roughly and want to keep it from getting dings and scratches.

(Psst. I have no idea what the text on the case says. Classic, right? Can anyone translate? @ssjup81 ? Please tell me it says 'turkey sandwich.')

Edit: But for the sake of argument, let's say that it does say, "Turkey sandwich". lol

At the time I came up with my name, I was really into two series in particular...kind of. Okay, I just couldn't think of anything. lol

SSJ = Super Saiya-jin (DBZ)

Jupiter = Sailor Jupiter (DBZ)

81 = year of birth

What anime series do you like? Just read the manga series that they were adapted from. After that, just look into series based on the genres that you enjoy.

Detective Conan. :-P

I didn't know you guys were still doing this. Enjoy everyone.

My new bank card.

I'll be headed to Waseda in Feb for 6 months, at least.

I'll be headed to Waseda in Feb for 6 months, at least.

I'm going to be headed over at the end of the year. I've visited twice, so I'm happy to finally be moving

I would like to go while I am still young, maybe just for 6 months to a year. I have a friend who taught English there and said it was very stressful so I'd like to find something else. My ultimate dream would to be a dancer for a Japanese pop group! No idea how to make that happen but will dream anyway

I think I would like to try living in Japan, I've never visited though. I'd be worried about money, finding a job, whether I'd have to wait to finish university before I could go there, learning the language, adapting to local culture etc. It's something that's interested me for a while and when considering university and places abroad I could possibly study, Japan was one of the top places in my mind. I didn't prepare enough though, but I still haven't entirely dismissed the thought of going there someday.

For working purposes, I'd recommend finishing up university and getting your degree. It's an immigration requirement. You could always try studying over here. There are places like Waseda that caters to international students.

I'm from the United States. California to be exact

I prefer dub anime, I think I'm a rare breed...

I prefer dubbed anime because sometimes the sub ruins the feel for me.

I guess a good example would be when a character has "perfect English" but all you hear is a strong Japanese accent.

But also the anime I like are usually taking place in countries that aren't Japan and usually speak English or have a certain accent that the Dub can usually accomplish.

 

I learned Japanese but not for Anime , that's too much dedication lol.

I have thought about if I really wanted to live in Japan. I've already visited and I quite enjoyed it. I'm not too good with Tokyo life because it has just too much city for me. I enjoy being in Hiroshima the most. It was much more calm for me.

But I'm not still sure if I would want to live in Japan or just have a very long stay.

+Anima!!! Highly recommend it.

Zero for me, but I'm not at all surprised. lol Too new for me.
