Anime appreciation thread~!

The End of Evangelion is a much better ending to the series and makes more sense than episode 26 does, well worth getting. The 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo will finally be out on Blu-Ray next February/March, took Funimation long enough they spent over a year redoing the dub and since I couldn't care less for the dub as I watch subs, thats a wasted year IMO. No clue when 4.0 will be out though, Hideaki Anno is currently busy working on Toho's new Godzilla movie.

I really need to watch that second End of Evangelion movie.

Just finished Code Geass R2 and wow, what an ending.  I thought towards the end that Lelouch was going down the same path as Light from Death Note.  Basically, just power hungry and pretty much forgetting why they both started out doing what they did, but the last 5 minutes completely erased that thought.

I think I've seen Death and Rebirth but I can't remember, End of Evangelion does such a good job rounding out the series that I've never had the inclination to go back and look for D&R. Probably a good idea to start with the original series, the first film is almost just a straight up retelling of the first 6 or so episodes of the anime without much change, but the second film on starts changing things quite a bit.

Code Geass is up there with Steins;Gate as my two favourite anime series and that ending has a lot to do with it. Are you going to watch the Akito the Exiled OVA's, set between the first and second seasons? I thought the first two episodes where really good but the much delayed third episode was pretty bad IMO and I haven't even bothered to look for a release date on the 4th eps DVD/Blu-Ray.

Dubbed, at least the first two so far anyway.

Noragami was bad imo so didnt want to continue.

Started watching Claymore last week after finishing Michiko and Hatchin.  Claymore is definitely a change of pace for me, going from sci-fi to a more medieval setting with monsters and stuff.  Pretty good so far, though.  And M&H?  Really good, but with kind of a weak ending, IMO.

I hate Macross/Robotech. I tried watching the original series and hated all of the main characters, plus the aliens being basically giant sized humans seemed dumb to me. When it come sto 80's mecha series I'm far more interested in Patlabor, VOTOMS and Heavy Metal L-Gaim, will eventually get around to watching those.
