If any of you havent seen it, do yourself a favour and get it.
And does anyone know if there are any other types of movies in this genre and style?
Aside from Ghost in the Shell.
I don’t like that fairy type BS, or Initial D stuff. Vampires are cool, so are robots with big metal dicks.
Cowboy Bebop is awesome. Check it out.
Seen it, what else?
the new apple seed was amazing.
Huge anime fan here… lol…
I liked the ghost in the shell stand alone complex as well. But Ghost in the shell innocence was absolutly terrible. the DVD only had english for the hearing impared subtitles. so it would describe things like [electronic beeping] and [cat screeches] along with the dialouge, it was so bad that I could only watch about 10 min of it before I got pissed and stopped watching.
more of masamune Shirrows style would be uhm… Dominion tank police. and the original apple seed movie… he does more manga than anything else really. check him out.
yay
later

If you like vampires, give Hellsing and Trinity Blood a shot. I’ve seen Hellsing, but I’m too busy to start Trinity Blood right now (my friends say it’s amazing thou) b/c I’m watching fairy type BS right now 
As to robots with big metal dicks… I personally haven’t seen any, but Gundam is some kick-ass dick-free anime WITH giant robots. I’ve seen Gundam Wing, X, Seed and now on Seed Destiny. All kicked ass and I reccomend.
Right now I’m watching Saber Marionette J OVA (finished the J series) and I think it’s awesome. You might not like it as it’s not the serious type. It’s about 3 robot chicks living with this guy and all the cool and dumb shit that happens from that. There’s also some fighting b/c they’re at war with another country and these robot girls are quite proficient at whooping ass.
Before that it was School Rumble, and I have to say it is one of the BEST animes I’ve ever seen. Then again, if you don’t like school animes, I doubt you’ll like it, but I’m a huge fan of them. If you do like school animes and end up liking School Rumble watch Great Teacher Onizuka and Azumanga Daioh as well. Phew… long post… long post
Evangelion is also great you have probably seen it. Samaurai X if you like ninja bloodshed. The series is Kenshin that one is pretty popular.
If you like soccer I suggest you watch Hungry Heart Wild Striker. It’s not the best its a school anime. But all about soccer so I love it.
What i’m really looking for is the style of animation and CG demonstrated in Appleseed 2K4.
It doesn’t look anything like the original and most other animes. The only old looking kinda anime i like are Akira, and Astroboy.
I will check out Hellsing and Samurai X. Thanks for the heads up.
Does your gf choose your anime?
Some that I liked are Vampire Hunter D, GITS (SAC is okay…), Street Fighter Series was decent, DBZ, Evangelion, Gundam Wing, Gun Grave, I really liked Cowboy Bebop (the series, the movie was weak)
I haven’t watched any anime in quite a while now though, so a lot of that list is pretty old/main stream.
Some robot stuff would be Patlabor 1,2 &3, Roujin Z… Watch Rurouni Kenshin (sp?) for good times and Ninja Scroll, Naruto and Ranma 1/2…
is Roujin Z the one where the old guy is connected to all this robotic crap and goes on a rampage?
that one is awesome.
My GF doesn’t watch any anime actually My best friend watches very feminine animes and reccomends some to me. Ones that he’s seen and I refused to: Sailor Moon (all of it… I dunno how he got his hands on it, the series is massively huge), Card Captor Sakura. Otherwise I’ve seen a lot of girly animes that he gave me.
Samurai X = Rurouni Kenshin OVA, watch in this order: First OVA (4 ep), Series, 2nd OVA (2 ep)
I liked GITS and SAC a lot, Innocence was a tad off, but I still liked it.
Street Figher series I never got to see, although I’d like to, DBZ… eww… Evangelion was awesome, so was GW, and I’m one of the very few to have NOT seen Bebop. I saw the first episode and I thought it was weak, so I never continued with it. Trigun rocks the cock though, awesome anime.

Cowboy bebop > Trigun.
You should check out gungrave too if you like that kind of anime. You watch a lot of chick anime though… :greddy2:
Tee-hee. Yea, I do watch a lot of chick animes. But I’ll be getting Bebop ASAP as well as Gungrave.
If you like Cowboy Bebop, for the love of god download Samurai Champloo (creator of CB). I highly suggest any of the following series for an awesome watch:
Evangelion
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Noir
Seriel Experiments Lain
Speed Grapher (only 6-8 eps so far, but FUCKING AWESOME)
Azumanga Daioh (warning, this series is under the influence of japanese crackheads, happy and cheerful CRAZY PEOPLE!!!)
Full Metal Panic (or FMP: Fumoffu this has nothing to do with the mech action of the original FMP, this is all comedy)
FLCL (Furi Kuri, more insane cracked out anime)
Earlier episodes of Naruto (before it got “BDBZS” or, Bastardized DBZ Syndrome)
Full Metal Alchemist
And more (may update once i remember the others ive seen haha)
Suggested Movies:
Appleseed (bought special edition DVD at anime north, i figured it was the least i could do for this awesome new genre of 3d live anime!)
GITS
Ninja Scroll
Akira
Perfect Blue
Kite
etc
Also, i heard rumours of an Appleseed game coming out in 2006. I hope to god they decide to make it on the next gen, because those things will be able to support the real time rendering used in the movie. Imagine, they could take all their current technology and make a game that is a picture perfect copy of the movie, with graphics and effects to boot… requires new boxers
Yeah I liked Samerai Champloo too.
Lain was too weird for me.
Ninja scroll and akira are clasics, same with vampire hunter D.
Perfect blue was entertaining.
Holy… I like your style
I’m getting Champloo as soon as I free up space, but a lot of those are my personal fav’s. Azumanga Daioh borders on godly, prolly my all-time favourite anime.
Oh, and Lain >> The Matrix. Similar concept, but executed sooo much better.
Making the assumption that we like similar animes, I can definitely reccomend Scrapped Princess, Last Exile, Stellvia of the Universe (Uchuu No Stellvia), Chobits, Onegai Teacher… I’ll think of a few others
Oh… Don’t forget Ebichu… good god never forget Ebichu!
HAHAHA!!! Oruchuban Ebichu!!! My god that anime is so fuckin hilarious (only has 4 episodes)!!!
I have 20 some episodes of Scrapped Princess, but I havent any of it yet. Seen Onegai Teacher, pretty good series, some funny stuff but a little too much mushy shit for my likings.
THAT’S IT!
3d live Anime. That’s the kinda anime i want to see, with similar content.
Last Exile is too fairy for me.
I’ll check out Champloo as well. Thanks.
Ya well now that someone has taken the time and money to do it for a first time, its gonna be cheaper and better every time they use it. I would expect to see at least a few more feature films in this style, and who knows, if budgets get ginormous maybe even a few series.
I’m dling some Champloo DVD now, looks pretty good.
The director is Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Animatrix) and is designed by Kazuto Nakazawa (Kill Bill vol1.).
