Never seen Gunsmith Cats, then?

Watch it, it's brilliant.

Back on topic, I seem to like a lot of stuff that's blacklisted here. I think NGE is superb, especially the movies. Admittedly the the last two episodes were cack, but what can you do with no money, as you've spent it on the rest of the series? BGC 2040 was another great series. The thumpy music lets it down in places as it detracts a lot from what's going on.

Noir is great. .Hack//SIGN is good - I like the idea behind it. Like a Matrix for kids

. As for Gunslinger Girl, got to sit down and watch it. I don't think it's meant to be an action-orientated series, more of a... I don't know... a GitS with kids who can't understand what's happening to them. I think?

Stuff I hate:

Pokemon - just all-round naff. Same predictable storyline in every episode. Almost as bad as Power Rangers

. The Digimon movies are better (anyone know where I can get the first one (the one with 'Our Wargame' in it) in English (the music's better))?

Riding Bean - simply for the dubbing - it's truly awful. How can such a great piece of work from Sonoda be turned into 45 minutes of pure garbage simply by the dubbing?

DB/DBGT/DBZ - dire. Simply dire.

Ultimate Muscle - as bad as the 'real' thing. The power button on the remote gets a workout whenever this starts

the worst is bayblade.
It's for kids and all, but I don't think even the kids enjoy it.

**Insomniac** · Fri, 02-20-2004, 12:34 PM

Chrno Crusades a good series though, cept for ep 12 xmas special but eh what can you do

**Hatake Kakashi** · Fri, 02-20-2004, 12:37 PM

The worst I have seen -

Pilot Canidate AKA Candidate for Goddess

Easily the worst anime I have ever seen.

***complich8*** · Fri, 02-20-2004, 12:39 PM

man .... there's so much hate for the chrono trigger ova .....

but that shit was awesome!

I mean ... you had nu, and the little shovely guy, and johnny, and el gato the fighting robot.....

if you walked into it expecting another chapter of the story you'd be disappointed ...

personally I walked into it expecting nothing, and I took away 15 or 20 minutes of solid laughter at the hilarity of it all...

then I don't think you'd get it if you were expecting something else, or if you weren't a big chrono trigger buff to begin with.

Oh yeah .... eva: overrated but decent (strong in imagery, weak in story). lain: strong on imagery, weak on continuity. Gunslinger Girl and Noir and Tsukihime shared the same downfall for me: after an episode worth I just kinda felt like doing something else rather than watching another episode. They didn't hook me.

But really everyone likes different stuff. I personally hate Daa Daa Daa and the whole hypercute shoujo genre, but a lot of people love it, I just really couldn't give it a chance because the style annoyed the piss out of me.

I'll support the assertion that the X movie is terrible though. In the 24 eps of the tv version, they told the same story as the movie, and it felt crowded in a bit (and I'm sure the animation style and the rather stiff storyline didn't help a lot of people's impressions of the tv show either). But the movie told the same story, sacrificing the background and explanatory elements and the more polished art style (the tv series art quality sold the whole series for me) so they could cram it into movie length.

I think the worst I've seen though is probably kodomo no omocha (aka kodocha). Kodocha is the most evil vile terrible horrible no-good very bad wacked out piece of series I've ever seen. Not only does it have no plot and no storyline, it has the hypercute shoujo style art, punctuated by random Sana raps and an overall sense of the creators having the attention span of a couple 5 year olds on 3 gallons of kool-aid and a candy shop 15 minute all-you-can-eat shopping spree.

yeah .... my vote for "worst" is definitely kodocha.

It's a pretty amazing anime for the early 90s.

I never watched GT (frankly I didn't hear about DB until 4 or 5 years ago). When I got the chance to see DB and DBZ I thought it was pretty good for an old anime.

An anime I never got into: Neon Genesis. I watched the first couple of episodes, but something about that kid just pissed me off. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
yea... i tried watching the first 4-5 episodes of neon genesis...

the kid bugged me too, and also...

the whole concept is kind of...farfetched? its a pretty "creative" anime =P

**Crimson_Behelit** · Sat, 02-21-2004, 07:19 AM

=_= I have to disagree with you rogue_noir. While you may not like Kiki's Delivery Service, it's actually one of the finest examples of children's animation in the world. It has some very down to life messages and is brilliant in terms of creativity. On top of that, the artwork is next to none.

it was soo good they showed it in disney

the worst anime of all time would have to be yu-gi-oh god i hate that thing so very much!...pokemon i liked when i was small so am not gonna say nuttin about that...and reighn blows too uhhh thats it

**kimunist** · Sat, 02-21-2004, 07:55 AM

ur right, yu-gi-oh seems very very stupid...thought i have never seen it, it doesnt seem to be all that "greaT"

anyways...

another good japanese anime that was brought to america that taught some good morals is "spirited away"...

very good, even if the story and setting is a bit weird.

**Crimson_Behelit** · Sat, 02-21-2004, 07:56 AM

I watched the whole neon genesis and I would have to say it pretty much sucks. The only thing that kept me watching is the whole giant robot thing, which was poorly done in my opinion. And that pathetic excuse for a ending... You might as well skip the last two episodes and go straight to the movies. And omg don't get me started on the ending of the movies. Overall that series left a bad taste in my mouth, I would of rather watched back to back episodes of pokimon.

**Shinji Ikari** · Sat, 02-21-2004, 08:26 AM

Have to be Gunslinger Girls. It's a wanna-be Noir anime that's just bad. Noir on the other hand is one of the best animes ever.

**rogue_noir** · Sat, 02-21-2004, 11:44 AM

Didn't like:

Sister Princess, Super Gals, Dragonball, Pokemon, .hack//Dusk, Kiki's Delivery Service, Crest of the Stars, Kare Kano. I also tend not to like series that are too long (over 40 episodes) like Inu Yasha, Naruto, Ranma, etc. but I can't make a fair judgement b/c I stop watching those fairly early into the series.

Favorite Series:

Noir
.hack//Sign
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Full Metal Panic
Lain
Cowboy Bebop
Haibane Renmei
Read or Die
Rahxephon

I like DBZ manga. Anime was bad. But it was considerably good for it's time. And it's way way way way past its time. Just like ranma. Good for it's time.

Worst anime i've ever seen? Pokemon,Hamtaro (OMG! The advertistments are bloooody irritating&#33

, and one more. The creature that goes nyo nyo nyo all the time.

Yeah.. Candidate for Goddess is very bad.

Hey.. I like Ebichu. Makes me laugh my head off. Definitely not a watch for serious anime-ers and ppl under 14.

**Insomniac** · Sun, 02-22-2004, 08:42 AM

i regret ever downloading Gunslinger Girls

***Munsu*** · Sun, 02-22-2004, 08:48 AM

Are you kidding me? Gunslinger Girl is awesome... I dont see what's wrong with it

Well, if you compare it with Noir it's the end of the world...

***Munsu*** · Mon, 02-23-2004, 06:13 AM

You dont have to compare one series to another to see if it's good... i take it as it is, and if I enjoyed it.. it is good regardless if I think that another series is better... and I really loved Noir, one of my favorietes, but I'm the first to admit that it wasnt all that great.... but since I enjoyed it, it is good
