May I suggest Read or Die (or R.O.D), it's good fun and the central librarian character is surprisingly cool. Also the Director of Spirited Away, Hayao Miyazaki, has some excellent work before SA and Mononoke. Try Castle in the Sky or Nausicaä. Anyone watched the Neon Genesis Evangelion series?

PS. Akira is a work of art, there's a redubbed version now which is much improved.

I'm always up for philosophical discussion, but I just thought it was done so cack-handedly - though naturally things will be lost in the translation.

But yes, the action sequences didn't particularly thrill me.

I liked the series, with the fights against the 7 angels or whatever, giant robot type things battling in a city, great stuff. Then I watched the movie finale with giant girl emerging from the planet, that was a load of b0ll0x.

Well, the writer did flip out at the end of it.

pillock.

Akira: actually does make sense. although i had to watch it a few times before i could figure out whats going on. But then, I get whats going on in the Illuminatus trilogy too, so i may just have an inbuilt understanding of wierd.

has anyone seen this: fragile machine
It looks pretty, and has won awards. but thats all i know.

GitS2 was really pretty... although, SAC 2nd GiG has also been rather pretty too.

I've had SAC on my hard drive for a while and not got round to watching any yet, I'll try and 'aquire' 2nd gig after i've watched the first lot.

Jinxx · Post by **Jinxx** » August 11th, 2005, 13:57

1st GiG kicked arse, make sure you have the LMF versions, 2nd GiG can be gotted from here: http://gits.no-jutsu.com/gits/

series isn't complete yet as the translator had to slow down, only three more eps required to complete the set!

I'm just getting into Naruto.

(In a slightly-related topic, Torrent is the devil)

once you try it you never look back :D

it may be a stupid question but what does SAC mean? I've watched the GiTS film and a few episodes and loved it
