How many..

We love em too and have a large collection now

Bought Howls Moving Castle a few weeks ago and have just watched Gunslinger Girl Vol. 1 Very sad, but very good, recommended. We have seen Cowboy Bepop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Berserk, most of the Miyazaki films, Steamboy, Perfect Blue, Ghost in the Shell, GINS 1st GIG and Innocence etc, etc.

Anyone seen the new series Samurai 7? Anime in the UK is quite expensive and are usually always released individually rather in box sets. An expensive way to buy them. Its best to know if you are going to like a series before you buy the first one

I love anime, have been hooked since late 90's.

In my DVD collection:
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Mononoke Hime
Spirited Away
The Cat Returns
Cowboy Bebop The Movie
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Hellsing
Ghost in the Shell
Tokyo Godfathers
Steamboy
etc.

Next on my shopping list:
My Neighbour Totoro
Howls Moving Castle

I also read manga.

I'm glad there are more fans here.

I saw Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Trigun and Lodoss War... I liked them. I want to see Howl's Moving Castle.

My little sister is REALLY into it, but I'm not so much. I've only like a few of the things I've seen. "Bleach" I didn't like at all.

I like Deedlit cause I do play D&D sometimes, and she's my elf inspiration. (Kaleetha is one of my elf names)

Edited to add: They had a shirt with the cat from Trigun on it at Hot Topic for a little while. Now I can't find it anywhere! That's one of the few shirts with something on it that I actually want!

I LOVE Miyazaki, Osamu Tezuka and Rintaro...
Metropolis is my FAVORITE anime ever I can watch it over and over.
Especially when the Ray Charles song kicks in....
I also like Trigun, Lupin, Chobits...

I like a few more, I am not a huge fan although I have been going to Collosialcon every year. The big anime con here. I was thinking about flying to San Diego for Comicon 2006 but it might just be too expensive.

One thing though...

I. CANNOT. STAND. DUBBING. IT. IS. JUST. PLAIN. WRONG.

Ooh how could I forget about Chobits! I absolutely love it, so funny and sad and of course we have a little Sumomo figurine...

Has anyone watched Full Metal Panic or the follow on Fomuffu? It is definitely one of the funniest animes I have ever seen.

I used to be a big fan when i was younger but it just became another hobby i dont have time for

watch it if i get the chance though.

Yup, FMP is really funny in a cute airheaded chick way.

Watched Casshan (not to be confused with the live action version which is very good) last night. Not one of my better buys but its not bad.

Going to watch GITS Innocence tonight and maybe My Neighbour Tortoro if we have time

Well just finished watching Ghost in the Shell Innocence. This is absolutely brilliant

If you haven't seen it yet then i can honestly say you won't watch a better anime.

As with all the GitS films the story line is brilliantly put together and the graphics, well....just go watch it.

Here is a link from the ACEN anime conference site defining anime and manga.
http://www.acen.org/2006/anime.html

The movies and TV shows I have seen my 17 y/o son watching are not extremely appealing to me. They are very creative, but often very dark. The books (manga), however, are rather riveting. They are comic books you read from back cover to front...and I get hooked on them easily. But like comic books, the story often runs from one issue to the next, so you find yourself hanging until next months copy comes! LOL!

Miyasaki fan here!
Wish I could make a siggy with pics of his works but there's the copyright question.

woohoo! Thanks to Arlyn I found a thread altho I had made one if you wanna take a look!
