I've been getting into a lot of different anime since I got to college 3 years ago. Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, Prince of Tennis and now recently Bleach to name a few. Anybody else got love for an anime?

I like anime but due to bandwith problems I haven't been able to download.
I still read manga though. Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach.
Naruto isn't what it was back in the day (won't go into detail due to spoilers).
One Piece still rocks and the current arc is kickass.
Bleach is beginning to get slow paced. Still good though. I just wish it would go faster.
I've read all those three to where they are in Japan.
Anime wise I've seen some One Piece, some Naruto.... Never got the chance to see FMA though I hear it's good. I've seen.... AZUMANGA DAIOH! Yeah!

I really don't know if you will count it as Anime, but as you may have heard, I'm a big DBZ Fan, I also liked Ghost In A Shell, Witch Robin Hunter and a few others

Azumanga Daioh is hilarious! Its girly but so freakin funny.
DBZ is old old school. If you have cable or DSL, go to AnimeSuki.com and download some newer anime. If you like DBZ, you'll love Naruto, though I agree it has slowed down the last 20 episodes or so. WAY too many fillers.

I have seen a few anime.I liked them but can't find any here and when I do find it I have no money.
I like Dragonhalf but the damn thing never got finished properly (or so I heard).
Armitage III was cool,I thought.
I found Ghost in a Shell boring though :-\

I think Ghost in the Shell is somewhat overrated too. I prefer Ninja Scroll for anime movies.

in no particular order
Trigun, X, Chobits, Fruits Basket, Ranma 1/2, Initial D, Azumanga Daioh, His and Her Circumstances
there are others that i like too, just the ones on the top are the ones i enjoyed the most while watching
D.N.Angel Vol. 1 just came out on DVD and it's an amazing anime. (Been reading its mangas). Chrono Crusade as well.

I'm not a huge anime fan, but I do have some that I think are great.
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
Those are the ones I really enjoy. Bebop is just excellent. Trigun is uber-anime, but I think it's great. Princess Mononoke is a flawless film in my opinion. Spirited Away is the same way, flawless in my opinion.
Other than that, though, I don't particularly care for it.

Not a big Anime watcher, but those i have watched and enjoyed are,
Cowboy Beebop- Best Anime ever in my opinion, Spike is just too cool, and the story is just great.
Fooly Cooly- Kinda weird but still awesome, I seen it on cartoon network, but now they don't show it anymore. Not very many episodes but o well. I can't find the FC DVD's anywhere!!!

Thank God no one listed 'Akira'. Fucking shit was horrible, movie and comic form.
.hack//Sign is a great anime for those into the genre. It is definately worth checking out if you come across it. Nicely drawn, great storyline, and excellent music.
Fooly Cooly was mentioned too. Very short anime, but pretty good. Trigun is nice if you're into anime that is way out there. Ghost in the Shell is supposed to be good. And Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X is great stuff.

My favorite anime at the moment is Naruto of course. But yes, as Apprentice has mentioned, too many fillers... seriously, was episode 101 really necessary at all? I LOVE Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, I'm liking the Full Metal Alchemist, Kenshin, and Lupin III (I was him for Halloween).
Oh, and yes, Ghost in the Shell is VERY overrated. Eye candy and after that, it is just ..blah. And I kinda like Akira (it IS what got me into anime). You want a great realistic anime movie, watch Grave of the Fireflies and get ready to be depressed.

Hellsing and Gungrave are the only two I've seen, or currently care to see.

I never liked Princess Mononoke myself. It just didn't seem overly.... good to me.
I enjoyed .Hack (Sign and Dusk) too. I still haven't played the last two volumes of the game though. Bit of a rip off making the thing four volumes of fully priced games.
Someone mentioned Chobits which I also enjoyed... though I thought that by the end it was getting a bit too ridiculous.
As for Naruto, I haven't seen the anime past.... I think... the start of the Gaara/Sasuke fight in the tournament, so I know not of these fillers. I was speaking of the manga... the last arc was complete garbage.
Rock Lee is still one of my favourite characters in the anime/manga world though.
Generally when my friend and I want to hang out and rent a movie and nothing major is out that we haven't already seen or whatever (generally action or comedy) we grab some anime since he's big into it. I enjoy anime, but I'm not a hardcore fan like alot of others are.
Anyways, last week we rented the first two DVD's (out of 4) of Berserk and watched that. Pretty entertaining since I prefer a more medieval setting as opposed to a futuristic robot/demon fest.
i liked dbz and digimon when i was in grade 8 =\
Gundam Wing, Cowboy Bebop and Inuyasha are ones I still love
don't watch much anime

Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny are hot shit. However, bandi did a shit job for the english voice actors for Seed :mad:
Mai-HiMe, Bakurestu Tenshi are pretty cool, gotta watch and finish the other one, Tenjou Tengai, Samurai Champloo, Samurai 7(Fucking sweet), are all good. Peace Maker Kurogane is sweet to.
All of these are unliscended except for Gundam Seed, Peacemaker Kurogane and Samurai 7, which you can still download, just not from any fansubs anymore.

I like reading all that stuff. My little cousin started getting Shonen Jump magazine and it has like 7 stories in it. It has Dragonball Z, One Piece, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh, Shaman King and Hikaru No Go. They are all pretty kick ass and right now im hooked on watching imported episodes of Naruto (untill they put it on Fox or WB) and im watching Yu Yu Hakusho, Shaman King and yes I will say it Yu Gi Oh. Im a big Dragonball Z fan along with my cousin so right now its all been Dragonball GT

Once they got to the bathhouse for the spirits I was like :wtf: from that point on.</font>

Street Fighter 2 The Movie, Fatal Fury (I like both of them but the second one with Krauser is better)
I saw a few Coboy Bebops but I didn't think they were all that good.
That's pretty much that's all the anime I've ever seen (Not a big fan of it)

Used to be into DragonBall Z. I also watched some old school anime series when I was younger, I thought it was fucking Robotech so I bought some DVDs, and now I realize that it wasn't Robotech cause nothing looks familiar. It's eating me alive man, I can't remember the name of series. :mad:

Back in the day I loved DBZ. I'm still looking for somewhere where I can find the entire Namek Saga on DVD. I also like Cowboy Bebop. Other than that, I can't stand anything else. I guess that's about right, because I've heard both DBZ and Bebop labled as "Anime for people who hate anime".
And a question for people who like the Gundam shows. With the exception of one Gundam that I can't recall the name of. (It was one in the future where everyone had a gundam so nobody had a clear advantage.) but what the hell is the deal with Gundam anyway? The show had no point. I tried to watch a few eps of GW Zero, but every ep was the same.
Guy 1: "Let's go into battle!"
Guy 2: "You honor me!"
Guy 3: "Don't forget, little girl. The delicious tea and rice dinner begins at 6:00"
Guy 1 *Now in his gundam*: "I am now battling!"
*Ten minutes of a single gundam tearing an entire army of other giant robots a new set of ass holes*
Guy 3: "We shall never win this war. All lost is hope...
Girl 1: "Don't forget that you told me earlier that I have honored you."
Presidential looking guy: "You fool! You have taxed my patience!"
Guy 1 *His gundam still without a speck on it.* "Here comes another army! I'll destroy them then I shall mend my broken heart!"
*ten minutes of more robot smashing.*
Guy 1, 2, and 3 all laugh.
*Show ends with the TV rapidly blinking while I hold off my epileptic seisures just long enough to say "HUH?????"

I just picked up the Yu Yu Hakusho movie today at Walmart. It was a two pack with another movie in the cheap bin. Figure I would give it a try.
