Official Anime of FFR Discussion

[Kilgamayan]

RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

I have never watched Elfen Lied and have no particular interest in it as of this moment, so I'm guessing you're referring to tsutter.

I'm waiting on Pita Ten and 2x2 = Shinobuden torrents right now, and will also be nabbing new Jungle Guu Final, Mahou Sensei Negima and Ultimate Girls subs as they appear. Once I'm finished with all those, I'm not sure where I'll go after that, but I'm leading towards Mai Hime just to see what the big fucking deal is.

Bottom line: EL is not high on my priority list right now.

Besides, FFR is supposed to be a family-friendly website. I'm sure Synth would love his website's "official anime" be a show that would earn a TV MA rating in America. >_>

Given your suggested prerequisites, I will put forth Mai Hime and Galaxy Angel (hooray personal preference!) as possible other candidates, but I will refrain from voting for now.

TV-MA huh? Well then, I suggest we put up Golden Boy! Definitely TV-MA. Oh and is Mahou Sensei Negima the anime to Negima! the manga?

RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

Yeah, Elfen Lied owned, but like Kilga said... TV-MA.

Mai HiME is amazing so far, I've seen every episode that is out.

So I second the nomination for Mai HiME.

RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

Well, of course I would push for Evangelion...however, I dont think Evangelion suits FFR very well. And I havent seen Elfen Lied (though, I am working on that right now). I love FLCL, but that doesnt suit FFR very well either.

I dont see what you have against Cowboy Bebop. I personally loved the series...but once again, not FFR material.

So I wont put my vote in just yet.

The Get Backers, DNA^2(if anyone hasnt seen it its very good) or....some of the kick ass animes that havent been mentioned.

RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

Chromer - I guess we can have sort of a little club, but let's stay away from the "Otaku" business...

It was funny actually seeing the word used as an insult in an anime. Ever see Rozen Maiden? The main character stays home all the time. One of the other characters calls him an Otaku. I had to repeat it to make sure I heard right, then I LOLd.

Ack, I thought you saw Elfen Lied, Kilga. Oh well :/ I guess there's 5 in the Big. Maybe 10. 1000. I don't know. People are coming forward now with their lists of things they've seen.

Anyway, if we're keeping it TV-G or TV-PG, Evangelion is out. You know what I'm referring to even if "it" isn't real.

My replacement for my vote for Elfen Lied thus goes toward GTO. Though I doubt many have seen it.

From what I know, most people (that like anime and post frequently) have seen the following.

Digi Charat
Excel Saga
FLCL
Fruits Basket
Fullmetal Alchemist (I don't want to have this included...)
Galaxy Angel
Ghost in the Shell (good enough to override mainstreamness)
Love Hina
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Read or Die
Serial Experiments Lain
Vision of Escaflowne

I excluded many that are far too mainstream to be cool enough for FFR's official anime.

Please add your own thoughts to the list and consider voting.

Get rid of FMA.

I think Excel Saga would be a good candidate.

[Squeek]

RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

Excel Saga was the Anime Club's official anime at my old high school. Not like this restricts it in any way.

I'd be all for that. I'd like to hear votes from other people as well.

If I could, I would not be in the ranks of Adult Swim-ers. But I am. =( Big O =(

[jewpinthethird]

RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

It's okay omega...well all start somewhere...unfortunetly for you it is Adult Swim.

[tsutter]

RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

Excel Saga owns. And it fits FFRs' personality well.

ALL FOR EXCEL SAGA SAY I

Neon Genesis Evangelion

I excluded many that are far too mainstream to be cool enough for FFR's official anime.

what

Sadly, I have not watched Excel Saga either. >_>

[Squeek]

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

Then watch it. It's looking to be winning at this point.

Evangelion is majorly mainstream, but I also said some were good enough to override the mainstream status. I more didn't want to include it for the potential slight MA-ness they have going on during the show, but I left it in for Jewpin's sake.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

Well, actually it all started for me with the SciFi Channel's showing of Armitage Two...

[Chromer]

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Official Anime of FFR

Actually after looking at the list my vote would have to go for Excel Saga. ES is just too damn funny to be excluded. Yes, maybe Otaku is laying it on a bit too thick, Squeek. However, GTO is Great Teacher Onizuka and this is definitely not for kids, no matter how you put it. Its raunchiness and sexual humor automatically gets it a TV-MA.

I think I would include Interstellar 5555(Daft Punk's Movie) or Galaxy Express 9999(Sci-Fi Channel Movie) to the list. Interstellar could go as the ultimate anime ever, since the whole thing is done to Daft Punk's Discovery album. Galaxy Express started anime for me back on Sci-Fi a looooong time ago when they were showing Fatal Fury: The Movie on Sci-Fi's Anime Saturdays.
