Come to think of it, I'm seeing a severe lack of Chrome Shelled Regios in this topic.

This has now been corrected. :nod:

Do you realize that you just linked to illegal P2P downloads of movies, which by the way is against site rules? I would strongly suggest you to edit your post as soon as possible.

Uh? Chrome Shelled Regios anime is utter crap. The only good thing about the anime is Felli, but that's it.

MD Geist is legendary as one of the absolute worst OVAs ever created during that craze in the 80s/early 90s.  Maybe the only thing worse than it is it sequel. :lol:

Well lick my nipples and call me shirley.
I didn't know there was a sequel. Don't suppose there's a prequel is there?
 
Also, I missed the mention earlier, but I fully support venus wars :)

Actually MD Geist is nowhere near as bad as it's rumored to be. If it were, then it'd actually be good (in a "so bad, it's good" fashion)... instead it's just pretty bad. Shallow characters, rampant and self serving violence. It's very cynic and nihilistic though which I tend to enjoy.

I've seen both it and its sequel, and at least in my opinion, they free-fall straight past "so bad it's good" to "so bad it's horrible." :p

Voltron - not anime.
IGPX - not anime, but not horrific either.
Um...both of those are anime series. :p


Voltron I'll concede due to rusty memory.
IGPX was a joint venture... so eh...  kinda like trying to call Halo Legends anime... sure maybe the
stuff was made in Japan... but something got lost in translation and turned out horribly wrong.
IGPX was rather good though in season 1... S2 lost itself dealing with character issues.

The point is that IGPX was fully developed and created in Japan; Cartoon Network simply served as a co-producer and contributed funding for the project.  If you wouldn't classify IGPX as anime, you'd have to do the same for the second season of Big O, as CN co-produced that as well.  At least by common definition, if it's an animated work created in Japan and released to a Japanese audience, it's anime.

(Interestingly enough, overseas co-productions like Halo Legends or Batman: Gotham Knight are generally categorized as anime too.)

Adult Swim shouldn't have gotten involved with Big O IMO.
They tried to rush out a sequel/ending and honestly I've mixed feelings
about how it ended up.

I have no mixed feelings about the second season The Big O.  It was almost as much of a mind screw for the viewer as the latter episodes of Evangelion.  The only thing that could save it is a 3rd season that actually explains what's going on and why the world reset.(I think Angel's having a dream or something, it's the only thing that makes sense.)  Other than that:

Gurren Lagaan is good
Blassrieter is nice, a bit confusing where I'm at right now, but good.
I quite enjoyed Aquarion
Soul Eater is easily Top 10 of all time.
Claymore is good, very gory and it seems to have a fetish for armless girls, but it's good.
Heroic Age is amazing.
Vandread is a bit formulaic, but very entertaining.

I should note that all these anime's are available, completely legal on Hulu, I probably use it more than I use any other website out there.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

You know, those two would be awesome if they hadn't screwed up the storyline.

Claymore in particular was cringe worthy how they managed to turn what was a flawless series into **** in only two episodes.

I find that's par for course for quite a bit of anime.  At least Blue Gender's got a *****in' fight first though.

I lol'd hard.

In any event, I liked Big O's second season, it was typical Chiaki Konaka writing. The last episode was basically the characters realizing they're in a cartoon made to sell toys. Blue Gender was...ok. Awesome soundtrack, but I do recall the ending being incredibly rage inducing for me.

Because it was an anime of a manga that wasn't even halfway finished at the time. Skip it and read the comic, it's superior anyway.
