[Animé] What was the last anime you saw?

I last saw Cowboy Bebop via an official dvd I got from my bro

It's amazing, isn't it? Probably my favourite movie also. I re-watched it this weekend so I could write an essay on Satoshi Kon and I'm so glad I did.

I just watched episode 18 of Eureka 7 and I have to say, the origin of the LFO's is the most awesome thing I've heard of.

Grammar Nazi: YOU ENDED THAT SENTENCE WITH A PREPOSITION!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention I got extremely freaked out by [I]The End[/I] being a carbon copy of the [I]Nirvash[/I].

It was Chobits. But I couldn't get past episode 4, because I would have to pay to see the rest.
So I'm ordering the last volume of the manga version of Chobits.
I'm excited about that!

I pity the united states...what with it being technically illegal to stream and torrent anime freely...because a vast majority of the world's anime will never be available to you unless you get it through such mediums.

That's what I have heard, for the most part, so I can't wait to watch it.

Hmm...I'm pretty sure it was Honey and Clover. That show's hilarious!

The last Anime I watched was Bleach

Finished pretty much everything that's out for Neon Genesis Evangelion so far, I have to say that I can not wait for 3.0 and Final. End of Evangelion has so much underlying psych stuff within it, it's pretty cool. :'D

Sherlock Hound, if it counts. Suprised to find out that some of the episodes were directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Then in the end, it makes sense. Wonderful old series, excellent Finnish localization.

I don't watch much anime, I mostly get involved in it only when someone else watches, but this time was different.

"Cool" isn't enough to describe Evangelion...NGE is everything wrong with the world, everything right with the world, and everything in the word that needs to be shoved into people's faces. If everyone could understand this franchise as Hideaki Anno has tried to portray it to us, the world would be a better place.

Last anime I watched was Mirai Nikki (Future Diary). It was alright, the only bad thing was that I wanted the main character to die because he annoyed me to no end.

He was tolerable for me...just because I have the pleasure of knowing people with the same social hangups...he is rather annoying though.

Sword Art: Online :3 New episodes are out every Saturday and I haven't missed one yet, it's just the perfect anime for me <3

I just finished reading the Majora's Mask Manga.
I'm gonna buy at least 1 new zelda manga each week until I have them all excited.

I disagree strongly.

Eva was an above-average show when it first aired, doing a decent job deconstructing the giant robot genre.

However, it's also deeply flawed from a whole bunch of things:
The symbolism is incredibly shallow and meaningless.
The plot is needlessly convoluted (I can sum most of it up in a few sentences, but it takes at least two watchings of the show and EoE to piece it all together).
The characters are universally unlikable. This is, apparently, by design. But that doesn't make it any more watchable.
When the characters weren't being impossible to like they were doing things that make no sense for their personalities. They also all tended to break off into random, meaningless, quotation-filled soliloquies.
The animation seriously dropped in quality and the show was plagued with all sorts of pacing problems. This is not entirely the studio's fault, but the finished product still suffers from them.
It had pointless diversions into fanservice as often as they could get away with it.

I'm glad I watched it, but it's also far over-hyped.

RahXephon, for example, takes almost all of the same themes and does a much better job with them. It starts out rather rocky, alas, but then finds its footing and tells the story Eva wanted to, only properly (ooh, burn, ). It does characterization properly, it actually tells you what the hell is going on, it has better animation and music, it has better pacing, and it makes sense.

Heck, even Gurren Lagann tells a similar story but does a much better job of it, simply by replacing all of the characters with ones who people can relate to and like.

So yeah, not a bad series, but hardly the amazing pinnacle of the art form that it was once hailed as.

^ Agreed.

I hear that the creator of the show had recently gone through some depression, and when he got out of it wanted to reflect his experiences through the show. (or something like that) While I do appreciate the direction that he took it in, and I did understand the ending. It very directly told watchers exactly what was going on in the heads of it's characters, and completely threw plot out the window. There are ways of compromising story elements and giving evangelion's message effectively, which would have made me enjoy it a whole lot more.

Watched Angel Beats! just recently. It was a pretty funny show. The story was an interesting idea, but I think the show was too short to actually make something of it. Also, a lot of the characters were underdeveloped because of the length of the series.

Not sure what show to watch next. Anyone know any great mechas I could watch besides Gurren Lagann, Code Geass, and Gundam?

Full Metal Panic is pretty good.

I watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Man, that was so good.
