And for the second half...

X: 26 episodes long, 1 movie, released in 2002, made by CLAMP and Pioneer. With this anime, I am talking about the new series, not the 1999 version, which I haven’t seen, but it’s supposed to be the exact same thing, just that the new one has much better animation and music and whatnot. So I’ve just seen the first two DVDs, and the movie, so I know how it all ends by now. And the third one comes out next week the 28th. But I’m sure that my synopsis on the series is still trustworthy. To start off, Id like to say that this is probably going to be my favorite series when it’s all out on DVD and in my collection, where they belong. This is a very quick, action, fantasy, drama, and more action, and more drama, which makes this series so cool. It’s a modern day action show, involving lots of sweet ass battles and unbelievable characters to add along with the compelling story and fast paced fights between many bad asses with really cool powers. Not confusing you with anything from the well known DBZ this is nothing like it at all. The characters are funny, have very realistic characteristics and all have very unique personalities which help you really get into the show and the people in it. The music is also something which should be given plenty of notice. It’s very powerful, and has been given great scores in Japan, and seems to be very appreciated here in America as well. Done by X Japan, which is my favorite J-Rock band, makes it even more enjoyable to me. This is an awesome series, and just by seeing the first seven episodes and the movie, I already say that it should be seen by all.

Gundam Wing: 49 episodes long, 1 movie, released in 1996 (I think), made by Bandai and Sunrise. This is one of the most popular and well known mecha animes out there. It’s a very fun and lengthy story, which is not nearly as long as it may seem. The story is very well though out, and makes the audience always waiting to see the next episode. The battles are really awesome, and so are the robot designs. The original mecha anime, along with what’s said to be the ground breaking anime of it’s time, the mobile suit Gundam series has always been commended on its mecha designs and will always be for a long, long time to come. The characters are really cool, and you find yourself liking both the villains and the heroes, always wanting both of them to come out victorious. The music for Gundam Wing is classic among all anime soundtracks. Most of which is done by Two-Mix, which find joy in making very fast, upbeat music, fitting the series perfectly. It’s a great futuristic, war with earth and space. It’s surly a beloved anime for many people, of all ages. I’m certain that you’d find joy in this one. Sadly enough, the box set is not available in the town where I live, so all I own is the movie. But as soon as it comes up here, I’m gladly taking 200+ dollars out of the bank and buying it.

08th MS Team Gundam: 12 episodes long, 1 movie, released in 1995 (I think), made by Bandai and Sunrise. This is another classic Gundam series. Probably my favorite, and is usually the favorite of the Gundams for many of the Gundam fans out there. It’s part of the original Mobile Suit Gundam Series, and is very good at depicting war, but with giant mechs that are used instead of tanks and fighter jets. The characters are fun and very enjoyable, and the main characters are very deep, with struggles between a love for two people who are ranking officers on different sides of the war. It’s very well done, and is pretty much everything that is good about Gundam Wing. So I’ll just leave it at that.

The Golden Boy: 6 episodes long, no movies, released in 1995, made by Shueisha and ADVision. I’ve already posted about this series in detail on another thread in this forum, so you can look it up there. All I can say is that it is a show oriented towards males, but I know of girls who like it as well. It’s pretty much just a very perverted hilarious comedy. That’s all I need to say.

Outlaw Star: 26 episodes long, no movies, released in 1998 (I think) made by Bandai and Sunrise. This is an action, futuristic, space adventure anime. I found this a great show. It’s filled with plenty of fun episodes to keep you interested till the end. Very funny, and plenty of cool shoot-em-up scenes. Though it was a complete failure in Japan, it was still found very successful in the US, after airing it on Toonami in 2001, it found a home in thousands of anime fans hearts. It’s the first series I ever bought and I thought it was a great show. Good action scenes, and easily kept me content throughout the whole thing, with great characters, and awesome space ship designs, along with cool character designs as well. But It does begin to get sloppy half way through for a few episodes, where the animation isn’t as good as it usually is, it still ends up looking great by the end. I suggest anyone who has satellite, or cable to check this show out on the adult swim on Saturdays late night. It’s worth staying up for.

Rourunin Kenshin: very long, not sure exactly, 2 movies, released in 199? (not sure), made by two companies that I’m still not sure of. Anyways, even though I’m not very familiar with the details behind the series, I still know that it kicks a lot of ass. It’s a samurai genre, and is quite comical, along with having some sweet ass fighting sequences. The animation is great, and the characters are cool as well. I’ve only seen a few episodes of the series. My sisters have over half of the series on DVD, and I’m hoping to get a chance of watching more of the episodes, because it’s very, very good. I can’t really go on with the explanation of the aspects of the show. But I’m sure that Suzuki can. He seems to like it a lot. Anyways, I think it’s good anyways, and I’m going to buy the box set as soon as it’s available where I live.

Trigun: 26 episodes long, no movies, released in 1996 (I think) made by two companies that I’m still not sure of. Anyways, I’ve only seen the first three DVDs of this series, thanks to my good friend 007jamesbond. The series is very, very funny, as in slapstick comedy, plus a lot of outrageously f*cked up facial expressions that can get anyone to laugh. The series does begin to get much deeper, with a lot of history with the main character. It’s a western actually, taking place on a different planet, but is still very creative and original. Lie I said with the previous anime, I can’t really give a detailed summary of this anime, but I’m sure 007JamesBond can. I’m also going to buy the $200 box set as soon as I finish up a few more series.

There are others that I could go into detail with, but I’ll just let that be it. My fingers are tired by now anyways. But I will list the few movies I own, and ones that I suggest as well as great anime.

Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Tenchi in Love
Armitage III Poly Matrix
Armitage III Dual Matrix
Ninja Scroll
Macross Plus
X Movie
Slayers the Motion Picture
Escaflowne the Movie Girl in Gaea
Evangelion Death and Rebirth
Evangelion End of Evangelion
Bio Hunter
