Hey,

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a huge Anime Freek  
( also called otaku ). Well I would like to know how many of my fellow Kirup’ian friends enjoy the art of Anime!  
Now, I’m not just talking about : DragonBall Z, or YuYu Hakusho or any of those popular sort… I personally adore  
Naruto,  
FLCL,  
Initial D,  
**One Piece** ,  
Full Metal Panic, and much more!

What do you guys like or want to see?  
Well, if you guys are familiar with BitTorrent downloading (P2P),  
visit [www.animesuki.com](http://www.animesuki.com) and they have a whole selection!

:evil:Anime!:evil:

thx +\_+

I only like Hentai 😜

no just joking. I think Golden Boy (kind of stupid, but funny. came on television some month ago), princess Mononoke (cool film), and Cowboy Beebop (also funny) were good, but I wouldn’t say I’m a real manga fan at all.

Some guy in school said to me: Either you like the style and art of mangas, or you don’t know it.  
well I don’t think it’s that clear.

I liked the Ghost in the Shell anime but the manga was better.  
Sames true for Dragon Ball.

Hehe,

Yah, Akira sure is a keeper, but the best of all time are Naruto and One Piece… I have tons of other Anime’s and Manga’s, but definetly, those two are great. My favorite Manga would probobaly have to be Battle Royale : It’s about these 40 some students, taken from thier field trip by these government officials and brought to a remote island somewhere near Japan. As you might have figured, the japenese officials sons of b’s sure are f\*cked up! So when they bring the students to the island, he tells them about a law that not too many people know about : Battle Royal Act. Simply the point is to give each student, a randomly choiced weapon and old food, to kill one another on the island, until one is left standing. Ofcourse there are multiple restrictions, but it’s honestly a great manga…  
I read the actual book of Battle Royal, and I spent hours reading it everyday… plus, they have a movie out for it too, (not anime, real motion picture).  
You guys have to check it out some time… You can get it at like Barnes and Noble, or any other big book store!  
Hope you guys see it~  
thx +\_+

do a search - I think kajinku started a thread about it before - I put up a whole list of good stuff 🙂 I’m watching Naruto at the moment (around ep 32 I think) and I absolutely love it: it’s so cool. I actually watched Demon City Shinjuku (Monster City) this afternoon for some reason - it wasn’t that good… old skool anime 😉

Cowboy Bebop is one of the kings of anime…

I didnt know there was a Battle Royale manga: the movie is one of my favourites of all time! Can’t wait to see BR2 actually :]

Oh, and thanks for that BitTorrent link grinch! I’ve got another good one back at home - I’ll send it to you when… I’m not at uni :thumb:

Awsome!

Yah, I’ve seen the whole Naruto series, up to 63 and they’re great! It’s like whoever watches it, loves 'em!  
Finally, someone else has seen Battle Royale, I thought i was a loner… :asleep:  
And I sure could use another BitTorrent site! thx +\_+

P.S. - Never knew there was a b2r! Now theres another movie on my wait list! Hehe

</div>

Here’s my list of favorites, in no particular order:

[list]  
[_]The Big-O  
[_]Trigun  
[_]Cowboy BeBop  
[_]Anything from Studio Gibli  
[_]Vampire Hunter D (Both Movies)  
[_]VanDread - which is really kind of frightening, but funny!  
[_]3 X 3 Eyes (the original)  
[_]Photon  
[_]Project A-Ko  
[_]And JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure  
[/list]

I’ve seen a lot more than that, and I’m sure I’ve liked most of what I’ve seen, but I can’t really remember there names of all of them, so they must not have been that great… I went to ACen a full years back, and had a blast, and when I went to GenCon I pretty much lived in the Anime Room. I was at Anime Central the same year that Piro and Dom were invited to come for the first time, and it was a blast getting to him in person!
