re the tofu. Go with tempeh instead. Tofu is filled with phytoestrogens and other bad stuff that the fermentation process takes out. Natto anyone?

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

box set of what? I'm dense...

Post by **Megaseth** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

i got my DVDs over a year ago. my friends and i started a small fanbase at my school, and then it went mainstream. we've always been anime fans, but the cool ones. the ones who go to anime conventions and laugh at people who get so into it, they think the stuff is real. im really into gundam X, FSS, Guyver, Patlabor, Macross, Getter Robo, Marian battle Succesor Nadesco, old 80s stuff, some newer stuff. hell. lots of stuff.

Ummm yeah, i always wanted to watch dbz from start to finish..... but never got to it, can anyone tell me wut order the sagas go in?i got the original dragon ball..... i catch glimpses of dbz on tv sometimes but im just confused as hell lol.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

DBZ sagas Saiyan, namek (sp?) Freeza, Android, cell, boo. I think there are a couple inbetween things in there buit those are the major ones.

Megaseth mad props to hating on the damn otakus. I swear man I just went to Anime weekend atlanta and I heard the question " why doeADv put their logoo over the original japanese logo?" WTF Who gives a damn its a stupid *** logo.

Post by **skydragoness** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

ah. i've watched other anime besides I-D

my fav series/movies:macross series(macross plus was SO good)rouroni kenshin (not the dubbed crap, i watched fansubs off of horrible cd-rs back in highschool)evangelion (so very good, and so many series try to emulate it)princess mononoke

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

I dont get the hating on the kenshin dub. It was acurate the only thing I saw that was really different was kenshin didn't sound like a woman as much and didn't say oro. Maybe its just me. I like dubs, good dubs not stupid crap that totally rewrites a story.

Post by **skydragoness** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

bah. i like subtitles. i don't mind reading in english. just feels more authentic that way.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

lol, I can understand people prefering the sub, but to hate on a dub without just cause is a sad thing. Some of the american actors are really talented and can convey the character just as well as the japanese. My real issue with the Japanese dub is How do you now if it is good or not? I mean unless you now japanese and their dialects how do you know it is dubbed well in japanese. lol just a thought.

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

I wanna watch Macross Plus again something fierce.

Kenshin was really good but started to become lacking after the Kyoto Saga:( It never really had a good ending either, there were some ova's that took place 15 years later, but those are said to be crap.

Post by **Megaseth** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

i saw Macross plus a LONG time ago. man did it kick ***! anyone see She the Ultimate Weapon. its a new one, but its pretty damn good. And who could forget Escaflowne, the orig, not the gay dubbed version. yes, this is one of those cases where the dubbed version sucked some major ***. i'll agree, i've seen a few dubbed movies with good dubbing, but not many.

Post by **D3GP** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

Have anyone ever seen teknoman? It use to be on the old UPN like 7 yrs ago. That was one of the best anime i've ever seen.

Post by **RobDET** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

Never seen the macross stuff but I'm a big Robotech Fan (i have all 14 USDM DVD's) I want to see what happens to Rick, Lisa and the gang when they leave earth tho!

I also really liked:Love Hina (and again)Princess Mononoke <sp>TrigunCowboy Bebop (only seen the first DVD's worth)Ninja Scroll (never saw the sequel)

oh man. macross plus was so great. i have all the soundtracks.

i watched the robotech series back when they had it on cartoon network when i was in highschool. they showed all the episodes up till the Southern Cross saga.

i think i watched up to episode 22 or so of Kenshin.

trigun is hysterical, i wish i had money to get the set.

vampire hunter D bloodlust was pretty.

blah blah blah

krazy skewrel:i know what you mean, there are some good dubs, i always thought the tenchi muyo dubbing was hysterical. i'm just kind of wary of dubbing because of the prev mentioned reasons: story editing/quality of the voices and a change in dialogue. i heard that I-D (the usdm released dvd's) takumi and the gang talk all stupid/ and things are left out... i have to check it out i guess to confirm my suspicions.

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

good god, you need to watch Kenshin up to like 65 or so, or all of it really, it just starts to dwindle down after Kyoto, that was just so hard to top...

I like Plus because the computer generated art in it was just so seamless and it was a really awesome looking movie, and it had a simple cute love story:D

Post by **Megaseth** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

Plus has some damn good animation. the city fight/dog fight scene was freakin' cool. my cousin made a music video using clips from it to Helter Skelter. and sky, i love the soundtrack. i have a few songs, uh, i found, hehehe, on my PC. very good stuff.

I also remember Technoman, it actually had a pretty good following in japan. very good show.

southern cross was ok, but the invid invasion was better stuff. anyone seen macross 2. it wasnt too great, but the veritechs were awesome. and does anyone else thing X and blood the last vampire sucked? the movies were so short and dull. I heard from a friend that the TV series for X told a LOT more. and, has anyone else heard of The Five Star Stories?

Post by **RobDET** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

oah and back to I-D for a minute...

Now i'm really opening up so don't laugh (too mutch)

I actuially shed a tear when Takumi Blew up the 86 racing the EVO III. That WHOLE scene was really impressive to me. All the way to bunta telling takumi it wasn't his fault and everything...

Post by **Onizuka** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

yeah, you really get a feel of characters emotions in ID, which is one of the reasons i really like it (besides the fricken awsome cars).

on another note:vampire hunter D is disturbing but awsome!

*Plot Spoiler* ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well yea that was very sad. I felt that part the most in the series, plus the part where he pretty much told mogi to **** off (or go back to your mercedes driving boyfriend), the way he said it was just so fresh and clean lol

and plus, where do you guys make the money to buy all these damn animes at only 3 ep for fuggin 20 bux?i know some ppl go ebay or pirate them or watch em on cartoon network. how do u get ur anime and watch it?

Post by **Megaseth** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

i got mine from SundevilDVD.com good site in AZ. they sell them pretty cheap too, the JDM ones, not the us versions.

Post by **RobDET** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

I got the ID series off ebay for 60 bucks shipped. They are the JDM with english subtitles. I got them well over a year ago.

I got the Entire Robotech series off of ebay for around 100 bucks...

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

gotta love bootlegs, well unless they totally suck, I wish all anime would come out 7 eps a disc and for like 20 dollars...I'd buy more then...

I feel like such a bastard for saying that...

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

I buy a lot of anime, then My friends buy a lot. So I atch a lot of stuff that way. I buy domestic releases mostly as I try and support the indusry. Unless they are real bastards like they were with FLCL. 2 eps a disk for a 6 episode series. Hells no.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

Also X the series is quite good. Explains a lot. Blood was pure and total ****.

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

X movie made me cry, not for an art reason, but more for wasting an hour and a half of my life that I could've spent slapping ***:(

Post by **Megaseth** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

hell yeah, i hear ya. i watched that expecting something good, and i was just pissed off when it ended. but like Krazy said, the series is a lot better. my friend told me it explains what happens in the movie and tells stuff before it too.

Post by **skydragoness** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

the thing with X/1999, though i've never watched it, is that you have to have watched the tv series or have read the manga. if you haven't. it makes no sense. X wasn't a movie like Macross Plus, where you didn't have to know about the references they were making by showing the SD-F 1 and other things to enjoy the movie.

i know i need to watch more Kenshin. *and* Macross. Seth, i do have Macross 2, wasn't so great story-wise, but the mecha was freakin awesome. woo woo.

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

the problem with X was actually that it came out before the manga or series was even finished, why they did this I don't know

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 4:16 pm

Then you got tokyo babalon (sp?) that is a prequel to X. I have it to watch but havent had the chance yet.
