relyanCe Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Goin to see Evangelion 1.0 in a few weeks i'm excited Quote
Kinslayer Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 pardon my ignorance, but is that related to Neon Genesis Evangelion, or is it seperate? Quote
Chaz Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Just seen episode 5 of Umineko no Naku Koro ni. WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON!? Quote
relyanCe Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 pardon my ignorance, but is that related to Neon Genesis Evangelion, or is it seperate? its a remake tetralogy of NGE called rebuild of Evangelion the first movie's english dub is playing in theatres currently Quote
Kinslayer Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 hmm, might have to go see it, NGE was a good show...the manga was quite well done too as I recall. Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I hope it does well enough in theaters that all of them will eventually be released in theater. Then I won't have to feel guilty searching for fan subs... Quote
Native Jovian Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 hmm, might have to go see it, NGE was a good show... In what way, exactly? In that the characters were (deliberately) unlikable and unrelatable? In that the plot was nonsensical and the (endless amounts of) symbolism literally meaningless? Or in that it presented itself in such a pretentious fashion that it successfully tricked an ungodly number of people into believing that those were good things? The giant robots fighting aliens was pretty kickass, I'll give you that much. (Please don't lecture me about how they weren't really giant robots or aliens.) Too bad that that only took up a fraction of the show -- if that was the majority of it, I'd actually like the series. Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Eh to each his own. Eva isn't among my favorites (I don't really like it that much) but I think it's good at what it's aim is, and the Rebuild 1.0 did a much better job at it. Actually you might like rebuild more than you liked the original, cause apparently it's more action oriented, and you want to see giant "Robots" fighting it out with giant "aliens" right. Quote
Kinslayer Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Here's a thought, what series that were really short would you like to see extended/continued? For me, Outlaw Star is definitely one I'd like to see continued. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Let's talk about anime soundtracks. What are some REALLY good ones? One rule: don't give me cruddy annoying j-pop, I want some really beautiful, melodic stuff here. Unless there's metal soundtracks, of course; share those too (unless it's cheezy butt rock reminiscent of DMC 4). The only Anime soundtrack I know of that is totally awesome is .hack//sign's soundtrack, composed by Yuki Kajiura. STUFF . Quote
Kinslayer Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 DeathNote has a really melodic, cool soundtrack...lots of use of guitars, piano, and orchestral elements, not to mention a really good remix of the Exorcist used as the main theme for both L and Near. Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Eureka 7 probably has one of the most hip soundtracks ever. Also the core themes in the series are quite epic and done orchestrally. The movie version has some really amazing tunes too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YxWyHvyWxA Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Post youtube links of recommended songs, while you're at it. Keep 'em coming, dudes. Quote
The Damned Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 So, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 ended... and they did some sort of bullshit fake-out thing with one of the characters. Man, why are shows still doing that? It's a cheap attempt at drama and pulling at heart strings. Quote

Ghost in the Shell is my favorite, but Wolf's Rain is pretty sweet too. By the way, is Eureka 7 any good subbed? All I've seen is the dubbed version that showed on Adult Swim, and the american voice acting was so obnoxiously whiney that I couldn't bear to watch it for more than a few minutes. Quote

The subbed version was pretty good imo as I didn't get that whiney aspect which seems to be the case for the English dub... Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Man, the only Anime where voice acting RUINED it for me was One Piece. I loved the Manga and got all hyped up for it and BAM! Smacked me in the face like a cold wet fish. Quote
relyanCe Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Gurren Lagann's soundtrack is pretty awesome, and i'm not talking about ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH either even tho it is pretty awesome too Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Gurren Lagann's soundtrack is pretty awesome, and i'm not gonna talk about the porn either even tho it is pretty awesome too Fixed that for you Quote
Kinslayer Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 @ Epitaph, Examples of why DeathNote has an amazing soundtrack. L's Theme A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uUVX376U4M L's Theme B Near's Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaAl-KhpGZ8&feature=related Low of Solipsism http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYhLlz5bK6c&feature=related Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 wut? characha Needlessly long story don't worry. Quote
Native Jovian Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Anything by Yoko Kanno. Beaten to it. FLCL had an awesome soundtrack (though it's certainly j-rock, which doesn't seem to be what you're interested in). Ditto Trigun. Quote
Brushfire Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Anime music sucks. Except for Shiro Sagisu. EAT IT FATTY'S!!! Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 L's Theme Ahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uUVX376U4M Hrm...was this used somewhere besides death note? I swear I've heard it elsewhere. The song was okay, it just never really built up to anything. It's good for what it is: a character theme. Quote
