I'm in melbourne and the JB hi-fi at southland has a wall of anime.

Can anyone tell me how many "stage's" initial D goes for?? I've seen "stage3"....... is there a stage4 ??

Favorite box set at the moment is "Kenshin hamura, wandering swordsman" , a series of samuri X

JB hi-fi is starting to get in "Naruto" now too! yay! (if ya like ninja's check it out)

Yep there is a Stage 4. Just hoping they make a Stage 5.

I like Naruto but not a fan of the English dub, but thats just me though. I'm a fan of Hayao Miyazaki (Lupin III, Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, etc).

...Howl's Moving Castle...

Did people actually like that movie? I couldn't get into it...

I liked Samurai Champloo if anyone want to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvqLhwYBENs

Death Note was ok until it started getting overcomplicated

Wangan Midnight is a bit, ummmm, well there is a magical car in it.

Keroro Gunsou was amusing for the first few episodes but then took its tongue out of its cheek

Ebichu is fantastic, I can't recommend it highly enough

[m3gtr]

ive just finished watching Claymore and Historys strongest disciple.

Both were aired here in Tokyo and both were excellent series.

Claymore was unreal.

i can tell you where the mother lode of anime is by website if your interested. basically anything and everything that hasnt been licensed is available.

PM me for details.

[Poida]

I watched that a while back but definitely awesome stuff!

Have a look through the annals of this thread

[SKYLVIA]

I dont understand the above post lol...

But i watch a buttload of anime... infact i like anime before cars. have about 300gb, most of it being modern anime... made in the last 5-10 years... except for Flame of Recca, Teknoman and the entire Astroboy Series...

from memory im currently watching:

Bamboo Blade

Zombie Loan

Hell Girl (1st Season)

Bokurano

Genshiken (1st Season)

Kakkaishi

Kenichi

PeaceMaker Kurogane

Naruto (Ofcourse, i wonder if it can get slower?)

Bleach (thinking of dropping as its getting boring...)

Gundam 00

Shakugan no Shana

D.Gray-Man

Blue Dragon

and a favourite at the moment that really stands out,

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan (finished airing but waiting for HQsubs by Black-Order)

A guy at work has given me a few series:

Lovely Complex

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

School Days

Sumomomo Momomo

Ergo Proxy (meh...)

One Piece (about 250+ eps...)

Shaman King

and 2 others but i cant remember the names...

And just recently watching an all time favourite anime FullMetal Alchemist... seriously great anime...

Also just finished Devil May Cry... not so good... abit of a let down to the games but meh whatever...

got alot more at home but i cant remember everything... the above's just what ive got at work... and ive never been to a "LAN party" where anime is supposedly exchanged...

I dont watched dubbed anime... dubs are the devil i think... pretty much all of its fansubbed except for the AstroBoy and TeknoMan collections...

Aaaaaaand i bet by now you all think i wear my pants up to my belly button with suspenders and bigass bifocles... lol...

ive just finished watching Claymore and Historys strongest disciple.

Claymore was unreal.

Loved em both. Claymore was one of those anime that struck me from the typical stuff I've seen. Though I'd say I was kinda disappointed with the ending (at least the manga is still going, but very slowly ). Though I still want more from History's Strongest Disciple Hope theres still more to come from it

Some other anime series some of you might like/dislike is:

- Fruits Basket

- Love Hina

- Chobits

- Byousoku 5 Centimeter (don't get the 1 episode one thats 30 mins long, it's in 3 episodes)

- Berserk

- GunGrave

- AIR TV

- Ah! My Goddess

Wangan Midnight is a bit, ummmm, well there is a magical car in it.

Doesn't compare much to Initial D. I kinda liked it, but it at least made me appreciate 240z's a little more

[SKYLVIA]

I heard Claymore is abit generic? ive got it all but not sure if its any good to watch, someone told me it was pretty average... i havent even watched the 1st ep yet...

Fruits Basket is a classic, one of my favourites, they shouldve continued the anime...

Love Hina was great but i watched it aaaages ago... never watched the second season...

done. (well edited anyway). I found it in the annals.

[Laurence]

Thankyou Beer Baron, you have restored my faith in the human race.

Dubs aren't really the devil, they are either good or bad, unfortunately they are mostly bad.

Done well I think they are the best way to watch anime, unless you can understand Japanese well.

The thing that does impresses me though is the astounding quality of some fansubs out there!

Some people put an incredible amount of effort into it.

[32GTRVSPECII]

M3gtr please share this information with me!

Anyone that wants to ahem *copy* me some anime and send it to me please let me know would possibly pay freight lol

Cheers, mick

So if you could possibly pm me (if that works) or email it to me thatd be heaps better

Currently woring my way through bleach. I think it's pretty bloody good. Though at 100 odd episodes long i think it will be hard to keep up the enthusiasm. I'm at about 50 atm.

I've watched the first 4 midnight Wangan and i'm not too impressed. Makes me want to get a 240z though as the car's are detailed well.

Full metal alchemist is worth a watch, though again it's a big series at about 50 eps + a movie. Atm i think bleach tops it but we'll see once i finish.....

Afro samurai is a definately worth watching.

Zombie loan i haven't gotten into yet, same with devil may cry.

Whats the vampire one called again. Hellsing? It just sort of stops at episode 13 or there abouts. Not the greatest.

One of my mates has just got his hands on Naruto so i'll probably get that soon as well.

I will have to have a look for claymore and historys greatest disciple and see what they are like.
