Try and search or buy such gems called 'Final Fantasy Unlimited'. That has everything, including chocobos!

Bleach.

In all honesty, I've seen more anime than most normal people can and still stay healthy, and this has to be one of my favorites (this, Samurai X, and Full Metal Panic are my list-toppers).

Guillaume De Sonoma · Oct 27, 2005, 11:39 PM // 23:39

Full Metal Alchemist

entropy · Oct 28, 2005, 12:59 AM // 00:59

hmm swords and no inuyasha or naruto. Umm rourouni kenshin? though you might as well just read the manga's as their better. FMA is one of my favorites too. Do you like really random and odd? FLCL is good then...

Guillaume De Sonoma · Oct 28, 2005, 01:05 AM // 01:05

FLCL must have some sort of supblimpinal messages because that show had RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed me up for life

nightrunner · Oct 28, 2005, 01:14 AM // 01:14

FCLC is just... odd. It ranks up there with Katamari Damacy. FCLC - anime with crazy people hitting eachother with guitars, giant robots that eat everything, and universe-crushing irons... Katamari - colorful game with crazy music where you roll everything up into a big ball.

Definitely the result of crazy people on an acid trip.

entropy · Oct 28, 2005, 01:33 AM // 01:33

YA... but its good and the first time I saw it I was like damn they musta been on a 9 hour coke high but nevertheless its a great show.

Let the flames begin. And katamari Damacy is a great game too. I like games/shows where its so odd that you don't care to know everything you just stick with the moment and go. oh and thw wikipedia helps a lot with FLCL.

Shinomori · Oct 28, 2005, 01:35 AM // 01:35

Oh yeah, I forgot FMA. Thanks for reminding me, whoever posted that.

IT IS AWESOME TOO.

All 4(four! one more than three, yet one less than five!) are really good.

Platinum Agent · Oct 28, 2005, 01:55 AM // 01:55

Well, lets see...Rurouni Kenshin, might be better off reading the manga though, Samurai X, Ninja Scroll, Jubei Chan, JC2, and Samurai Champloo.

Guess I'm more of a traditionalist.

Divine Elemental · Oct 28, 2005, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Rurouni Kenshin

Ohh and FLCL is the best anime ever, watch it about 15 times then you will start to understand that the plot is there and its actually written quite well

Anything created by GAINAX is like that.

Well, I guess that this is more of an opinionated subject. I do agree that Mugen is quite the idiot, but some of the episodes were worth the watch. The sword moves are also quite realistic, and sometimes I felt that I was in the movie itself. I guess it depends on who watches the show. In other news, I just thought up another good series: Cowboy Bebop. I see that just about everybody else posted that as well.

Doooom · Oct 28, 2005, 01:58 PM // 13:58

I never really cared for Vampire Hunter D (the old one) or Ninja Scrolls....

But I love Tenchi and Ghost in the Shell (the original, never saw the sequel).

nihilous · Oct 28, 2005, 02:55 PM // 14:55

Hellsing
Trigun
Gungrave
Kenshin
Cowboy beebop
FMA

Doooom - Tenchi GPC (not seen) gets horrible reviews (and not the same characters either) from people who love the orginal (OVA and the 1st series) but not seen heard about the new Ryoko series that game out with the orginal chracters.
