I don't know about Akira being the best anime movie. It was alright. I didn't really care for the end though. And I have to check out Spirited Away. I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Success! I have found what I've been looking for! I anime! I will now proceed to read through past posts tehehe.

wow i was going to make a post just like this!

I'm a hardcore anime fan. I watch original Japanese with English sub I also watch Live Action and 'J-doroma' and other LA asian dramas & comedies.

Me too me too!! I want to get more into J-Drammas, so far I've only seen bits of Hotel and most of Hana Yori Dango.
I'm sure its been done before in this topic, but dish me some favs and suggestions for anime!
Cowboy Bebop is what got me into anime, along with Digimon, yes Digimon, it is amazing and so much better than Pokemon =P

------------------

I can tell your talking about Yoko Kanno & the seatbelts. At one point I had so much music on my comp from them that i started running out of hardrive space. She is such a great composer and her music is really unique. She does Ghost in Shell, Wolf's Rain, Macross Plus II , Escaflowne, etc. She also works with Maaya Sakamoto who is a great singer .

Some other J-pop and j-rock artist that i found interesting are:
YUKI (female vocalist very unique singing voice)
Rie Fu (female vocalist)

Toshiro Masuda (composes the instrumentals, background music, & theme music for Naruto, I especially like Orochimaru's Theme & fight music, Need To Be Strong,Jiraiya's Theme is so cool)


And Great music and great anime:
Beck - BEAT CRUSADERS is one of the artist
Paradise Kiss
Nana - a lot of rock songs
Trigun has interesting songs too

And both the opening and ending for Aish*teruze Baby are beautiful songs.

You too!? I think I had every version of the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack on my computer too. I have FLCL soundtrack, which is done by the pillows, and right now I'm listening to some theme songs from bleach and full metal alchemist.

BTW, Asian Kung Fu Generation is the best J-Rock band ever lol

Oooh getting into favorites, ever heard M-Flo? Not a rock bad...not really away...but still really awesome!!

I like Yuki and Rie Fu too, but you can't ignore Utada Hikaru, Aymui Hamasaki, Sweetbox and Olivia!

I love bleach soundtrack. I love HOME MADE KAZOKU 'thank you' & 'tattoos on the sky'

'Number One' crack me up 'if you want to see some action got to be the center OF A-Traction'

also like Rie Fu's 'life is like boat' - her english is so good you can't tell she's japanese.

'raw breath of danger' is so cool and scary sounding

Oh hell, you said the magic word...I love me some Utada! Thank God there was a Kingdom Hearts soundtrack or I wouldn't get to hear her voice XD

I love Utada Hikaru! Fly me to the moon was sweet remix 1st & 2nd remixes

sometimes Oliva's voice is so sweet it makes me want to cry. I especially like the songs form nana 'starless nights', 'tears & rainbows', 'wish',and 'close your eyes' 'A little pain' is my fav.

I haven't heard and sweetbox, I'll check it out.

Sad part about all this tho...I have all these songs, and no idea who sings it lol

I totally agree about Utada and Olivia. Their music just makes me feel so good inside sometimes. Can either identify with my pain or make me feel better.

If i'm ever down, I goto you tube and find the bleach ending called "My Pace" its insane cute. And if that doesn't work I watch really adorable kitten videos

Yay kittens!!
I haven't gotten into Bleach yet...I don't know when I will.

Hey damnitscloudy

I checked out your profile. lol you have a Jareth Icon so cool!

I so lost track of bleach but i can pick it up anytime. And i need to go finish Naruto Hurricane Chronicles I'm only on episode 3-4.

Has anyone watch lovely complex or read the manga.

I've never heard of Lovely Complex...is it new?

i like mostly tha girl anime lol
LOVe hina ftw and chobits!'




and for guy anime it be dbz gundam wing/seed
cowboy bebop trigun!

I think you might like Mai Hime, if you haven't already seen it.

yeah Mai Hime is good with action too.

Lovely complex is sort of new. It was a manga first.
I saw the anime and i like the style a lot. It's a comedy about a girl who is taller than most guys and a guy who's shorter, about the size of a standard Japaneses girl.


BTW Mai-Hime as great music too - Kajiura Yuki composes it, an instrumental soundtrack

Has anyone watch elven lied (know that is a crazy series) very dark. I'm more of a shoujo/bishenen anime girl, romantic comedies most of the time. Anyhow Eleven lied has a great song opening call 'lilium' sung in latin - female vocal version is better than the 'saint's version' which is sung in chant like monks/priest would.


Bishies 4-ever
