ah, bad ,usic award goes to the shrill 11 year old chorus in GitS, made me want to rip my ears out, but the Seatbelts and the Pillows saw me through it...
pfff, screw mecha-anime... it usually sux (although i did kinda like gunbuster)
if you want some cool anime WITH plot.... go watch Trigun, Cowboy Bebob and Beserk =) (beware that beserk is still (i believe) continuing as a manga, so you may be confused after the final episode, but just watch #1 again and things will be a bit clearer)
oh and dubs are TEH BIGGEST EVIL IN EXCISTENCE!!!!! ph34r!!!

I've seen nearly all of NGE all of Tenchi Muyo OAV, all of Tenchi Universe, most of Tenchi in Tokyo (but am correcting that), bits of Gundam Wing, large bits of DragonBall Z, small bits of DragonBall GT, Ghost in the Sheel, Akira, Blood: the last Vampire.

After seeing the last four episodes of NGE, I completely agree with you that it sucked through a straw. It's like the author went insane and took LSD at the same time. I was diggin' the movie up until [spoiler] the giant seagulls killed Unit 02. Where the **** did that spear magically appear from? [/spoiler] Then it got weird, and they still haven't answer my question about where the hell Rei came from. Shinji's long-lost sister? Clone of Lilith? Who knows. I was going to buy the boxed set until I saw these final episodes. Oh yea, I have an explanation for at least one movie where the main character runs around naked: Ghost In the Shell. I always figured the active camo was part of the Major's cyborg body and it wouldn't do to have visible clothes running around. Just my theory <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->...
[spoiler] Shes an altered clone of Shinji's Mom, i thought the face wouldve given that away. The other clones of her were also to be the core of the dummy plug as far as I can figure.[/spoiler]

yes i have seen escaflowne, (the movie that is) and i have seen some NGE, and YES i still think mecha anime sux as a sub-genre..... just don't like it...

The first half of Trigun is meant to be pseudo slapstick, as it introduces characters. Wait until Vash actually pulls his gun out and starts fighting, then it gets good.
Trigun = teh shiz. RahXephon = BETTER THAN NGE?! R U TEH FCKZIN NUTZ?!!! 1111 one one111eleven Me = trying more and more until my hard drive/head explodes, whichever comes first
Honestly, RahXephon's animation is great and all, but I find the chracters kind of generic compared to NGE... I once heard someone say they disliked NGE because the characters were all "not decent people" as he put it. That's the point! Do you really want to watch normal people? You can do that on the steet (not on my steet, because it's NYC, but ya know)!

I started watching the first few episodes of Evangaleon when they were on Toonami, and man was that horrible. Whiny little baby in a butt fugly mech = Bad Anime. But that was just the first 2-3 episodes.

I cant say that I enjoyed NGE much either.

And on the topic of subs/dubs, when they get good english voice actors to do the characters, the voices seem to have more presence to them, the japanese original tracks (with a few exceptions) are all too high pitched and almost seem to not match the character IMO. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Anyways, if you watch one series completely in english dub, make it Hellsing.
