Panache Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 [COLOR="Red"][FONT="Lucida Console"]Since Geneon "died" I am trying to hurry up and pick up as many series from them as I can. I have some stuff that interests me but to be honest I don't know what to get first. So that's why I am asking you guys. What should I pick up first from Geneon? To help you guys out I generally prefer romantic comedy/drama,hardcore bloody action,and philosophical things like Kino's Journey and Haibanei Renmei. Some things I am looking at right now are. Kamichu Ergo Proxy Fate/Stay the night Strawberry Marsh mellow Are these any good/fitting to my tastes? Besides them what else do you recommend?Any help is appreciated.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I reccommend Straberry Marshmallow highly since it's in my top 20 anime of all time after seeing it earlier this week. I haven't seen Dokkoida?! yet, but from what I've read it's an absolute must. I've only seen 4 eps of Ergo Proxy but I hated it (I weep for my box...). Fate/Stay Night (there's no 'the') I've read a lot of mixed reviews for, so I'd say check it out yourself. Gankutsuou gets the highest reccommendation possible from me. I've downloaded Kamichu since 90 bucks is WAY too much for 16 episodes and I haven't goten to watching it yet, but from what I've read it, too, is an absolute must. Have you watched Lain yet? From the maker of Haibane and one of the most amazing shows EVER. I've also heard great things about Last Exile. Mahoromatic is another of the many I plan to watch...NieA_7 is another from the maker of Lain/Haibane but I've heard it's really slow - I plan to watch it anyway. If you didn't catch Paranoia Agent on Adult Swim, then go check that out. ROD the TV is an excellent show. Shakugan no Shana was pretty good and it's second season just started overseas. Soultaker is a Shibo show making it awesome and it's a trip and a half. Starship Operators is great but maybe not to the point of buying at full price. Texhnolyze takes time to get into but it's another from the Lain guy. A lot of people like Vandread I guess. Anything else was cut halfway.

Panache Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 Mohoromatic(my old avatar was a mohoromatic avatar) I already have and Ive seen Haibanei and own Lain. Anyway thanks DB. Texhnolyze is a bit expensive so I think I will try the first dvd of that and fate. Also I am buying the box set of Kamichu(it's like 80 bucks from Roberts anime corner store or was it 70?). Oh and R.O.D is EPIC. I suggest everyone pick up the boxset before the price goes up. I think I made a thread about it a year or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has Comedy, Drama, Adventure, Action, and it has some very wise moments. And when in doubt. I also recommend checking out an episode on YouTube, Veoh or Pisoga. As for the romance part, I guess that would depend on what pairings you like. And for some stuff that may be hard to find, [url]www.discountanimedvd.com[/url] has some awesome stuff. o_O. I'm, starting to sound like a commercial...O_o, Have a good day or night or both or whatever.:catgirl:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't commit to that. No way in hell. I am having trouble making progress in Boogipop Phantom for crying out loud. Thanks for the recommendation. But one thing with me...I don't watch subs and if I did I wouldn't watch them online. Oh and I don't do the whole pairing thing...I leave that to the massive number of narutards who would gladly take that burden from me. Anyway thanks for the recommendation.

2010DigitalBoy Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Be glad you can't commit - Saiyuki is blegh. Stick to me recs and you'll be happy >_> Also, since you don't do subs (cuz you have something wrong with you) you shouldn't buy [B]Ichigo Mashimaro. [/B]It's not worth it to watch the dub.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Saiyuki seems like Inu Yasha mixed with like...guns n stuff. So I dunno. If I check out anything it will be a volume of the manga. I ain't buying 200 or 300 dollars worth of crap that's for damn sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manga is totally different from the anime. Same stories and same action, but the manga accentuates it's excessive gore and fanservice of ugly women, while the anime has none of that[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentMasterson Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Have you seen Hellsing? It's has action,good voice work,and wicked cool characters. There is the 13 episode anime series and the current OVA series. I am sure you can find a box set of the anime series somewhere. The anime is loosely based on the original manga. Only 2 volumes of the manga were out when the anime was made. The OVAs are faithful to the original manga ( I haven't read it yet). The same voice cast are in both versions.

It was on ma list tho and thanks for the recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
