My Anime Ratings:
10 - AMAZING!! Instant classic, or anime masterpeice. Very hard to get a 10 from me, but not impossible. Everything on my top ten list is rated a ten
9 - GREAT!!! A very very good anime. I love this anime, and it's almost perfect.
8 - Anime I rate an 8 is still very good. It's a pretty high raiting for me. Everyone should watch it if it's an 8 or higher!
7 - Pretty good. Nothing amazing, but I still enjoy it. Very glad I got to see it, and very interesting.
6 - It's alright. Not good, but alright. The DVD's are worth it, but the anime may have some flaws here and there. Still not bad
5- Very BAD. The line between 5 and 6 is massive. The anime must be bad, bad bad to geta 5, but still watchable
4 - Terrible. It's a sin to anime, I won't keep watching it, but I understand why others would like it. Not horrible, but damn it sucks
3 ,2,1 - WTF!!! Were they even trying when they made this anime. Frigen horrible. Makes God cry. I would be asshamed to like this. These animes are unwatchable. I can't stand them. It's very hard to get a 1, they must try and make the anime bad if I raited it a 1.
Favorite Voice Actors
(My favorite people list is now made up of non-voice actors. Alll my favorite voice actors are listed here )
I managed to add a profile pic for director Takehiro Omori, so hopefully people will pick up on his talents to say the least! ^_^
Also, I made sure to mention Akitaro Daichi as a Honorable Mention, though I admit he's definitely done a lot of great anime (Fruits Basket, Now and Then Here and There, Elf Princess Rane).
Well I did love Paranoia Agent and I love a good bit of action so I'll check out Speed Grapher. I really didnt like Eureka 7 much sadly, it just annoyed the hell outta me. It seemed like some kinda love-story which just depressed me to be honest.
Now the only problem I have with Cowboy Bebop is that I dont like the art. That seriously puts me off watching it like; you look at Ergo Proxy and WHR's art and its beautiful, but Cowboy Bebop's dated look just grinds me.
I do like action in my anime, thats why I liked WHR, it was a nice bit of action in each ep, and Ergo Proxy looks to be getting some nice action in it.
Any changes or additions based upon what I said or not?
Ah I see that helped man. By now im starting to get to grips with the show and its coming together nicely. Any other shows like this and WHR you can reccomend? So far ive got Wolf's Rain lined up but I dont know what else.
I've always wanted to see Baccano as well, and the second season of Hell Girl of course! ^_-
I thought the ending to Hell Girl was well done, and a few episodes really stuck with me too, the series does a great job of showing the darker side of humanity and how some people are driven to vengence at the cost of their own lives. It was a good viewing experience for me. ^_^
In case you're wondering, other favorites of mine from the same director include Hyper Police, Fancy Lala, Koi Kaze, and Gakuen Alice. Hyper Police was one of my early favorites as an anime fan, being I used to watch it fansubbed almost ten years ago (ack! I've really been a fan for so long! XD).
Glad to see you're enjoying Kino's Journey by the way, I thought that series was great too. I also liked Serial Experiements Lain, in which the same director did that one too (Ryutaro Nakamura).
True enough, finding fans of Umetsu is very hard in general, I only know two people aside from you who agree that he's awesome.
Also, I think Anno definitely had quite the impact on me when I first saw Evangelion, and even the rest of his work was just as great, though I feel a strong affinity with Gunbuster personally. ^_-
Interesting that Hell Girl is one of your favorites, I just finished that series today, and I thought it wasn't too bad (the director of that series is one of my personal favorites). I hope to see the second season for that sometime.
Personally I loved ep 1-4 aswell and yeah I'm loving how the stories coming along. Only 2 episodes left now so check back to my page soon for an updated blog/review
*lol* Yeah, I care. I like to know more about those shows and your opinion. Like I told you earlier, I only saw Kite, and it was the edited version. I want to see the uncut version as well as Liberator and both the ova and tv series of Mezzo.
You said: "Yeh I don't really watch stuff like that very often. Probally why I find it a little sick, hehe. I think it's worse just because of the age of the assassins."
^Well, the age does make it worse. In one hentai I saw, there was younger girls(2 sisters) getting raped by older men, using blackmail. It's called Ai Shimai ~Futari no Kajitsu~(the english name is Immoral Sisters). It's really disturbing and sick!
Well, Kite isn't that crazy and sick compared to some of the other more adult series I've seen. xD
And thanks again for telling me about Maria Watches Over Us and showing that pic. I'll also be buying season 3 as soon as it comes out. They are already working on a 4th season too! =D
Thanks for showing me that. I already plan to get the second season box set, which comes out November 25th.
Anyways, yeah, Kite is really crazy and sick, and I saw the edited version. o_o
