Blue Gender
<div class="IPBDescription">AWSOME</div> This anime is....just very good. I didnt watch the CN version, I got the entire DVD boxset from Best buy. Its about a young man that had a desiese, that was uncureable with the time's medicen. He volunteered to be a "sleeper" or a person who was put on ice, then waited for medical technology to catch up so he can cure his problem.
Problem.......earth is invaded by giant bugs it seems...who eat people through digestive acids spit out the mouth, then ate in a simi-liquid form, then crapped out as a contorted solid green ball. You can still see human parts in it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
The main charecter is suddenly awoken by two soldiers who are running his sleeper casket along a hallway. A bug ambushes them, and kills both the guys. The main charecter is thrown across the hall, and watches in horrer as one guys neck is snapped....then gets digested. He then pulls the manuver "Get the hell out of here at Jesse Owens speed while soiling my pants" A simi giant robot slams through a wall, and opens fire at the bug....the fire sound is a one round LMG sound!!! It sounds EXACTLY like the NS lmg...so cool. He then craps his pants again it seems, because the pilot is wearing sort of a skull helmet, and runs off again. He returns to the Sleeper chamber...but finds it coated with slime...and he sees a girl he looked at when he was about to be put to sleep...but in the green ball....her face is only left...
welll....he gets rescued...thats sort of the first episode, and im watching the second...its just so freaking cool....you anime freaks HAVE to see it. Im pretty sure some of the people from Jhin Roh worked on it.

congratz, you know the stereotypes of anime, good for you. you wana cookie or something?
seeing how as there is MUCH more anime out there then DBZ and other things that are shown on TV here
please keep your pie hole shut about insulting anime (feel free tto insult thoswe that actualy do bite, and there are many of them, but forget about insultin all of anime b/c that is about as intelegent as saying all movies are the same)
and as for blue gender. I caught a few short clips of it on AS and it actualy dosn'tseem like that bad of a dub or transport. The plot seems cool, the chars are rather good. All in all I would like to see mroe (hopefuly subed ofcourse <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
You might also wana check out Gasaraki.
Another Mecha anime but much more of the 'serious' style. Some cool ideas (alot on Japanese politics). All in all another good series <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Metropolis
Spirited away
Gasaraki
Key: The Metal Idol
Jin-Roh
the list goes on for a lng time
Make sure you watch them subed, dubs make it hard to take anything serious (generaly)
and as for Eva, if you watch it subed and watch it for the psycho drama then you can take it seriously.
again, I am just sick and tired of people insisting on sticking to stereotypes of anime
especialy 'well it has tentical porn therefore all of it is trash'
well we have snuff, crush, goldenshowers, simulated destroy etc etc etc
so all other movies are even worse <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

And yes, I know about all those. Please, move on with the thread (whatever that may be). I'm sorry for derailing it, now let me make up for my sins.
lolfighter: Very funny animation, two thumbs up.

What the deuce was that? Someone buy them a friggin tongue...
The best portrayal of sterotype anime, (chibi-type), will always go to the numerously posted <a href='http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail57.html' target='_blank'>Strongbad's Japanese cartoon</a>.
Don't EVEN get me started.
The only reason that many of the things IN NGE are much like anime was because GAINAX was closing, basically, and this was their last chance deal, and they REALLY didn't wanna screw it up and not be able to pay off their mortgages(almost the whole GAINAX team got them during the making of NGE...thats right, a lot of it came out of their pockets, the exact reason it turned out so good)
Not to mention, that many of the stereotypes were invented by people like you.
Like let me ask you, who wears tight clothing? Oh ya, the pilots and MISATO. Misato is a slut who doesn't like being a slut, just likes sex, and the pilots have to use the suits(which are VERY modest, I swear, it makes Asuka look like she has zip chest) because they ARE supposed to be a second skin.
DON'T insult NGE where I can see. I Shall come and beat the crap out of you, verbally, WHILE proving you wrong.
-edit- I once again am sorry for this rant. Lets just say NGE has invaded my life, and taken over my brain, being it is mind-numbingly good.
/me loves anything based off of the darkest parts of the bible, not to mention anything with that good of....everything.
After the destruction of Seoul and the massacre of its population by giant bugs, I thought it was a bit silly.
But then watching the end credits one of my two anime questions came up:
"Why does she have to be naked?"
For reference the other one is "Why can only teenage girls pilot massive space robots?"
And my other attempt was "Ghost in the Shell" "Why does she have to be naked?" also came up in that.
I tried to watch Akira but after they blew up Tokyo within the first five minutes I had to switch off because I knew it was total rubbish. Why would you blow up Tokyo when Japan only has a defence force and so obviously isn't going to be fighting against you unless you do something to them. (Note that it was blown up in 1980, before todays political climate where the Japanese government are discussing buying nuclear weapons and making a "proper" army.)
The female pilot!
So she didn't wear a tight uniform, then can I assume she either has;
Ridiculously large woman parts (drool here), or.... (i'm pretty sure I've got this one in the bag....)
BLUE HAIR!
Come on, I have not seen a single anime without a blue-haired charater in it. Green hair seems to be optional.
But then, I HAVE only seen about 3 anime's (and only 1 all the way through) unless you count Z.O.E.... well, it's sort of an anime <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

FIRGGIN BLASPHEMY AKIRA PWNS j00!!! And btw maybe if you watched more than five minutes you would have figured out that no army destroyed Tokyo. I'm taking a guess, but you must watch a lot of "Americanized" television shows. Shows that explain their plot within the first couple minutes. Akira's plot unfolds during the whole two hours, and even at the end the whole plot isn't revealed with its "cliff hanger" three word ending. And to tell the truth most anime doesn't tell its plot within the first five minutes. If you want something like that go watch power rangers or whatever.
Did you even WATCH the damn movie? Cause if you did you obviously didn't comprehend what was going on....

Don't forget Scryed!
EDIT: Who doesn't like Akira? How could you turn it off after only watching 5 minutes? Would you turn off The Matrix after only watching five minutes, or Equilibrium?
No no NO. I'd REALLY like talking to somebody about anime FACE TO FACE, but not here. Talking about stuff that people are highly sensible about is too hard with only text, I need REAL speech to do that. You're welcome to PM me, and we can arrange a meeting (YOU'RE flying to Germany, not the other way around).
Wasn't all the symbolical stuff put into NGE because it "was cool"?
In fact, I don't think symbolical things have EVER been cool in anime...it was symbolic because at the time many of the people into anime in Japan OR the USA were too dumbfounded with action stuff, and failed to notice what REALLY mattered. The plot.
sounds like something the whole family would enjoy

anyway... if you want realistic anime, just start a thread called [areq]: realism
serious. people would give it.

I watch numerous types of television progammes, and indeed some of them are from America, heaven forbid. That doesn't mean that I don't like a good story line or whatever. But when in the first five minutes, there is a bigger plot gap than almost the entire Original Series of Star Trek, I stop myself watching it before I spend the next two hours finding more plot gaps.
As for the whole plot explaining itself in the first two minutes, I am as bigger hater of that as anyone, and personally I only like "quality" American dramas, such as 24, CSI, and The West Wing.
And even when I was eight and everyone I knew loved the Power Rangers I still hated it.

When I said I stopped watching after the first five minutes I knid of answered the question.
You can all like Anime or whatever, I don't give a monkey's - it just doesn't appeal to my tastes (Hell I never even liked Transformers) and it pretty much always falls into, what I can see, as an excuse to show cartoon violence (something I hate more than seeing dramatic violence) and teenage girls wearing very little in the way of clothes.
And besides, there always has to be a huge supernova explosion in any good Anime movie!
Did you like, watch the matrix for the first 5 minutes then walk out because "it's impossible to run around walls like that!"?

It mentioned the Third World War 1980 and then you see Tokyo be blown up my a nuclear weapon, however should Tokyo not have been blown up by an outside force, I do not mind. Anyway I assumed that since it was the Third World War and they were using nuclear weapons that it would end up like [Spoiler for those who have not seen it] <a href='http://www.ibp-intl.demon.co.uk/nuke/threads.html' target='_blank'>Threads</a> and not some people on bikes or whatever. (Mass over generalisation I know)
And as for The Matrix - I am not the biggest fan of that either, however its better than The Matrix Reloaded.
I don't think that I know too much, all I know is that I don't like Anime, and so I don't watch it.
*Edit*
And the "violence just to show violence". Um, no. Most anime directors are anti violence, and by showing the atrocities which man puts themselves through in the violence in anime, they mean to convey an anti violence message. Most of them anyway. As far as young girls in small clothing. The japanese are a lot more open about that sort of thing than us, get used to it.
OK sounds fine.
I don't believe I had everything figured out in the first five minutes, certainly not, from what I have seen of people's comments about it, it has a very deep and twisting storyline.
I still dislike Anime, but should any of you think you can find an Anime movie that will change my thoughts on the subject then please tell me.
However, I doubt there is one, not because Anime is crap but just because it is not my taste (especially with my views on cartoon violence.)
by episode:
1) Started out cool, steadily got worse after teh initial sequence with the Blue and the troops.
2) Explained WHY the bodies in the balls are perfectly preserved, they haven't been eaten, or even partially digested yet, they've mearly been cocooned up because "humans don't priovide enough energy"... Now... I'd rekon that those cocoons would result in more expenditure of energy than even 1,000,000 cacooned bodies could provide the blue...
past here I'm uncertian of where the eps began or ended...
but:
At the starport: 1, half the crew died here... the guy who got stepped on by the mecha and the pilot who got killed I can understand... but the two females in the transport died from the slightest bumps to the head, and one's head friggen EXPLODED all over the inside of the windsheild.
2, HOW IN THE HELL WOULD ANY COMPITENT MILITARY NOT KNOW OF AN UNDER WATER PASSAGE TO THEIR FREAKING BASE!
3, what in the hell were the other mecha teams thinking they were accomplishing by tieing the damn thing down instead of capping it?...
Now... FuriKuri... that show is nuts and is good.
BG is serious, too serious... it had promise... but... it almost pains me...
