The Anime Thread

**Drakul** · 06-23-2008, 01:28 AM

I'm not a hardcore anime lover but I do love Urusei Yatsura, Dragonhalf and Armitage III.
I've tried watching others but I didn't enjoy them.

For Christmas, I got the Salaryman Kintaro box set. I think it's the entire series, actually.
On Christmas morning, when I was opening my gifts, I picked it up as it was still wrapped and my mum tells me my sister told her I liked it so I begin opening it and the first rip reveals its an anime. Not enough to tell what anime it is but enough to know it is one. I instantly think it must be a bunch of Urusei Yatsura, DragonHalf or Armitage dvds and start mauling the wrapping paper to uncover more only to find out it's an anime I haven't heard of. I appreciated the gift and the fact it was anime (at least my family know what I like) and gave it a spin the next day. I think I watched the first two episodes but I never got round to it again.

I might try it out again this week. Is it any good? I prefer quirky anime, usually.

While we're here and since I mention Urusei Yatsura, BBC3 dubbed a few episodes for the special "Japanese Weekend" they had a year or two ago.
They called it "Lum the Invader Girl". Ataru was voiced by Matt Lucas from Little Britain and a few jokes where placed in that only those living in the UK would get.

Ep1 Part1 (part 2 is missing)

Ep2 Part1

Don't want to overload with videos so, if you want to see the rest of the vids, they're here: http://youtube.com/user/ZPBander
