Otaku Theater: Anime Hangout

[Gold Knight]

I'm reading GTO now, would you guys happen to know if the anime follow the storyline of the manga?

[Predator]

I think not. Because I only watched Anime version and latter I read the manga ending.
First of all the manga end is so much better than the anime.
Second, there were many characters I didn't recognize, so I guess there are many differences. I mean, it can't be that 46 episodes can be made from approx. 200 chapters and be so unalike.

I recently finished watching Witch Hunter Robin. It was an interesting anime and overalll I'd have to say it was pretty good. The ending isn't quite what I expected, but it was okay.

I'm not really sure which anime I'm going to start watching next. I'm leaning more towards .Hack//Sign, though.

[Gold Knight]

Thanks for that, Preddy.

I just finished Angelic Layer - which was so very awesome. I watched it in 3 days, which is incredibly fast for me. It usually takes me a couple of weeks to finish a box set.

I'm watching DNAngel right now, which is also looking to be very good.

hm... I seem to be on an angel kick. ^_^

I've watched Angelic Layer too, its good but I had a problem of the main character always winning. I cant accept her victories against her mum and against the white princess? but its shoujo, sigh.

Im currently watching Blood+, its sort of a sequel to the Last Vampire film. The lead character is still the same from the film, Saya. Really entertaining.
Im also watching Ergo Proxy, its very enjoyable as well. The same company that did this one are also the people behind Samurai Champloo. Its a Gothic futuristic iRobot world.

What's Ergo Proxy about, Oro-chan?

[Orochimaru-chan]

From ANN

In a world where humans and androids, known as autoraves, live in relative peace, there exists a domed city named "Romudo". Under the implementation of complete management control, it is a paradise where feelings are literally discarded, and the governing council dictates the way of life the citizens should live. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Lir Mayer, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her autorave partner Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. She is soon attacked by a creature drawn to her which is neither human nor android, and learns about the mysterious phenomena called "Awakening", an event which draws her further into the case...and to the world beyond the limits of Romudo.

Bastard is a funny anime XD. Weiss Kruss sucks hard (and i even watched the whole thing...XP)

[Gold Knight]

Sounds quite different from Samurai Champloo, Oro-chan! I'll have to give it a try though. Thanks

SilvaShado's a big fan of Bastard, Kusachu. Didn't know it was an anime too though.

My favorite anime of all time is Last Exile - I like it even more than the One Piece anime, but not as much as the One Piece manga. The thing about anime that's based on manga is that it has to intentionally add extra crap (fillers, flashbacks, long as hell episode recaps) to try and avoid making filler eps, and that is like a serious handicap.

Last Exile is the most pure and awesome 26 episode anime I have ever experienced.

[Gold Knight]

I agree about that concerning anime based on manga - it does tend to feel like watered down version of the manga sometimes to me ( no offense to anime aficionados )

As for Last Exile, shall check into it

Yeah, its not exactly like Champloo but it's from the same company, so the art and animation are, well, awesome!

[Gold Knight]

XD Cool beans, I loved Samurai Champloo.

[destinator]

Yeah i love Samurai Champloo too. Just finished watching Peacemake Korugane and hell why do all interesting animes end so fast :/ Any recommendations what to watch now ?
