ANIME STREAM: On Hiatus

[Commander Fuckass]

By the way, I just remembered we also have the Bebop movie, so it isn't COMPLETELY over after Tuesday night...but the main series will be.

Suggestions on what to watch after Bebop is over? I remember Lain being requested by at least two people.

Trigun pls

[ME##]

could we watch an episode of both trigun and lain on thursday to see which one we'd [read: i would] rather watch

I don't think you can get an accurate representation of Lain from just one episode 

[Hiro]

Here's a list of anime that have either been recommended to me or look interesting:

Akagi
BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad
Boogiepop Phantom
Cromartie High School
Cyber City Oedo 808
Elfen Lied
Ghost In The Shell
Goldenboy
.//Hack Sign
Hajime no Ippo
Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Kaiji
Lupin III
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Michiko to Hatchin
One Outs
Paranoia Agent
Planetes
Samurai 7
Samurai Champloo
Serial Experiments Lain
Welcome to the NHK

yeah, unfortunately

i have a feeling david will find it highly pretentious though lol

not as much as eva since it's a little more constrained to its fictional universe and it doesn't have any anime stereotypes like giant robots, but still

The first two I want to see as well, the third was like my first anime and I love it, the last is good too.

We should watch Mushishi though that is a really good one that I think everyone would enjoy

[Commander Fuckass]

actually we should watch Samurai Champloo next

but then again Kaz is probably going to wait and get the new boxset

I think I remember seeing that on Netflix the other day

My two cents on your list, Hiro:

First of all, we already watched Paranoia Agent, so that's a no-go either way.

Cromartie and Golden Boy are both pretty damn hilarious, the former being much better though...Golden Boy, while funny, has part of its humor due to its rather silly dub, and it's of course much more crude humor and it's overall rather dated.

NHK is supposed to be a great comedy too but I haven't seen it - it's on my MAL "Plan to Watch" though.

BECK is something I actually own on DVD but I know at least Nyerp has expressed disinterest in it so I dunno if we'd get to it any time soon. I like it a lot though. It's a nice little story about a rock band, no anime tomfoolery of any kind really.

Boogiepop is cool from the little bit I saw - I need to finish it.

Ghost in the Shell...you mean the movies, or the series? The original movie is the best thing in the whole franchise. The series is unfortunately not anywhere near as good, but it's still pretty great. Second season is unfortunately worse than the first, but not by much.

Elfen Lied is overrated, but it's still pretty great. I personally find the art style rather unfitting with how dark and adult it is...in fact, I might say that the art style is overly generic anyway. But oh well. It's still a fine piece of animation.

Champloo is great, and I'm sure we'll watch it eventually. I'm kinda waiting on the new DVD boxset to get released soon. Gonna snatch that shit up. It's not nearly as good as Bebop though, despite plenty of similarities and the same director.

And Lupin III...again, movies, or series? If nothing else, we should watch the Ghibli movie at some point. Series is good too, but I'm not really that interested in streaming it.

The others I just mentioned though, I would totally stream. As for the others on your list, I don't know anything about them, so I can't really say.

[Nyerp]

lain please

eva (26) -> paranoia agent (13) -> beepboop (26) -> lain (13)

[Samus Aran]

yeah, i would personally also prefer something less than 26 episodes also this time

[Commander Fuckass]

lain please

eva (26) -> paranoia agent (13) -> beepboop (26) -> lain (13)

This seems ideal.

If we do watch Lain, lets not watch a 2nd anime series after it

[Samus Aran]

btw, it may be worth mentioning that i have both Eva rebuild movies now, so if you guys ever wanna watch those, there's that

[Nyerp]

so much anime so little time...
