list the best anime tv series and movies no one seems to know about.
 
Virus or sometimes known as Virus buster serge...

great stuff but no one ever knows what the hell i'm talking about when i go on about it.

:confused:

 
Phantom Quest Corp (If you like Ghostbusters or Inuyasha)
Dagger of Kamui (If you like Ninja Scroll with an 80's style)
Dragon Half (short but very funny) :woot:

I'm not sure if people know about these but if they do they rarely talk about them:

Genocyber , Gunslinger Girl, Spriggan

Found it on Netflix.

It's the same guy who did Fatal Fury, which was pretty cool, so I'll give it a chance.
 
it's fairly adult themed and it has a evagelion-esque mind **** at the end of it so heed my warning...
 
I'm use to mind-****s. My whole life is one long chain of mind-****s. :yay:

anywho, have you see any of the movies I posted above?
 
nah, all sounds fairly random to me...

i may check them up, haven't really been impressed with many anime stand alone films to be fair...
 
well Dagger of Kamui is the only movie. The others are short tv series or short ova series.

They're all worth a rental if you have netflix. Not sure if they have all of them though.

...you might have just heard about it. But that came out years ago, and was actually pretty popular.


Overman King Gainer. Awesome mecha show, but no one really talks about it.
 
Nerima Daikon Bros.

Seriously does anyone here watch it? It's a musical comedy show by Shinichi Watanabe, the director of the Excel Saga anime.
 
I liked Spriggan that's the only one i've actually seen of the mentioned besides Gunslinger girl.
 
...Air Gear was Just released a few months ago, wtf?!
 
Liar Game. Well technically thats a live action, but it was based on a manga.
 
Ironically, most of my personal collection seems to revolve around series that are either short or don't get much pub. Forgive me if some of them have actually been heard of.

USHIO & TORA : a 10 episode "boy and his demon" buddy action/comedy that actually pre-dates the INU YASHA anime, which got all the rep.

SHURA NO TOKI: Series about 3 generations of the Mutsu clan from fuedal Japan, which is a clan known for unbeatable hand-to-hand combat able to overcome any swordsman.

MASTER OF MOSQUITON: 6 episode OAV series about an (annoying) girl, the vampire who loves her and two frustrated demons that protect him. Rare vampire anime that spends half of it's time on manic comedy.

FATAL FURY: There are 2 OAV's and 1 animated motion picture, put out by Viz Media, although the DVD's are about out of print. Despite some other fighting games getting more anime, like Virtua Fighter (24 episode series) or Street Fighter (3 films, one 29 episode series), this is among the best, and IMO, the director hasn't made any anime this strong since.

DEVILMAN: 2 episode OAV, for dark tastes only. I mean the 90's one put out by Manga, not the cheesier 70's TV show.

Lupin the Third has had some tough time crossing over to popularity here. I prefer the movies to the series, but it's all enjoyable, low stress entertainment.

BLUE SEED: It has a lot of qualities that are famous in other anime, yet unlike many of them, actually had a successful conclusion that didn't feel like a mind-**** (we'll ignore the shameless OAV cash grab; I did). For it's time as one of ADV's first major series, it was kind of fun.

NIGHTWALKER: 12 episode vampire anime that is very "shojo" and loses some sort of "arc" focus after episode 4, but I still found it enjoyable.

GOLDENBOY: 6 episodes of extreme fanservice wrapped up in a wholesome purpose, this is a classic.

I SO can't wait for the inevitable ADV box set of the new GUYVER show, which likely will be out in early '08.
 
I guess Paprika just came out that's why so few have heard of it. It was one of the best animes I have seen if awhile. It is not an action based story, but it is awesome. It gets in your mind and makes you feel stoned. It is one of those animes that your like huh, for 40 minutes. As soon as figure out the complexities and the twists you hooked. I just watched it for like the 4th time. I'd watch more, but 24 is on many channels now. I don't follow anime that much, but love to watch them. Is there any new robotech series?
