The Todd said: Hooked on Higurashi right now (thx to this thread). Each episode just makes me more confused, but I can't stop watching it.
Just watched all 26 episodes, also thanks to this thread. I noticed they have a second and third run but the company got lazy and didn't eng dub all of them which makes me rather hesitant to watch it since it will all be in subtitles. Makes me very sad that I cant go further into this in english, hopefully someone someday gets an audio cast together and records the voices in english to go along with the visual and uploads the torrent for all to take. Only two people would be needed, a guy and a girl, some voice editing with some pirated sound mod would do the rest.
Also, just checked out rebuild of evangalion 2.0, 1.1 you are (not) alone; did they dub the second one yet? It had amazing graphics but due to the time constraints lacked so much of the content, its still pretty nice
Wonder what I should watch next
Toad, I would try and get used to subs if I were you mang -- I don't understand a word of Japanese aside from some common phrases but the Japanese voice actors tend to be far superior and you pick up on a lot of mood and intonation that they just don't put into the English dubs. The only series I prefer dubbed is Cowboy Bebop, because they did a really excellent job on that one. Also there are a lot of very good subs out there for every anime -- once you get comfortable reading them a whole lot of options open up because some shows just don't have the english-speaking fan base to receive a dub at all.
I think the lack of content in Rebuild of Evangelion has less to do with time constraints than it does a deliberate effort to simplify the plot and make it more about the action -- I think they even said so explicitly. A lot of people just didn't get what was going on in the original. 
Im willing to do that for higurashi, it being especially interesting. I love the dub since it gives me time to fully absorb the landscapes, actions, and details that are displayed.
What kills me about anime is the names and the written words. Spike, Fay, Jet, and Edd living on mars are much easier to remember than Keiichi, Rika, Oichi, Rena, Shion, Rika, Oyashiro, and Mion living in Hinamizawa(at least for those of us who only speak english); those books they open and certain other words that are written in Japanese often contain so much that subtitles wont translate all.
Those who made Cowboy Bebop were geniuses in so many ways, it appeals heavily to many cultures in the language, look of characters, the fact that they live in a spaceship, and music
Didn't know what to expect going into rebuild evangalion, I doubt that Ill watch the subsequent movies. All the depth of the full show is what I need

This thread absolutely cannot die, even if I have to get the goddamn jaws of life and AED out
Just finished watching psycho diver and it honestly wasnt what I expected, was it made in the 1980s by any chance
I also watched the full neon genesis evangelion again since watching the rebuild of evangelion got me hyped, the last few episodes and the movie sent me into an We need an omnipresent ego destruction, kill ego
Also finished higurashi, well worth it, even if it was only in japanese(eng text); they tied everything together very well
I dont know what to do now tho, I want another awesome series but I dont know if there are any left
Man I love the summer: drugs, shroomery, and anime

I think Psycho Diver was one I really wanted to see back in the day. I'm pretty sure it came out in America around 1999 but I don't know when it was made.
Pet Shop of Horrors is one I remember enjoying a lot too.

Haha, my otaku buddy showed me the first 7 episodes of Ao No Exorcist a few weeks back, it was one of the most awesome animes I've seen in recent times (next to Code Geass). The plot so far is pretty awesome, what with the protagonist being the literal offspring of Satan and whatnot

Tekkonkinkreet is great. Some ridiculous visuals in that movie. Great for torching one and being immersed.
Akira- classic not my favorite but everyone should see it
Metropolis- quite good. Just saw it for the first time two months ago
Grave of the Fireflies- sad as hell
And every Miyazaki movie. He is simply a master. I have this great connection with all of his movies. I feel EXACTLY the same way as Wise Toad when it comes to anime. But seriously. Nausicaa, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Castle of Cagliostro, Porco Rosso, Ponyo, Whisper of the Heart(probably my favorite movie), and The Cat Returns. Whisper of the Heart is a love story but I don't give a fuck. Miyazaki is a MASTER. A genius.

I've always preferred animated shows to live-action. If I'm going to watch something that's not real to begin with, might as well be a cartoon. Plus, I've always thought the story elements were better in anime than primetime. But, I leave it at watching the show, so no posters or action figures for me. The list I'm about to lay down has been compiled slowly over years.
I own these series and movies. The series' are mostly only 26 episodes Aeon Flux Ah My Goddess! Season 1 Armitage III AzuManga Daioh Appleseed - remake Batman: Gotham Knight Beowulf Blue Gender Black Cat Boogiepop Phantom Burst Angel Burst Angel OVA Cowboy Bebop Remix Fatal Fury: The Movie Fantastic Children Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Fruits Basket Full Metal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shambala Full Metal Panic! The Galaxy Railways Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence Godannar Green Green Wing Gundam Gunslinger Girl Heavy Metal Howl's Moving Castle Jinki: Extend Kiddy Grade The Mars Daybreak Moonphase Martian Successor Nadesico Negima! Neon Genesis Evangelion Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth/ The End of Evangelion Ninja Scroll Outlaw Star Robotech: Protoculture Collection Samurai 7 Shura No Toki Solty Rei Sonic the Hedgehog Speedgrapher Steamboy Street Fighter II: The Series Tenjho Tenge Tenchi Muyo: Galaxy Police Transporter Titan AE Tokko
I've Watched: Wolf's Rain Big O Full Metal Alchemist Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Trigun G Gundam Dragonball Dragonball Z High School of the Dead Demon Lord Dante Naruto Mahoromatic Witch Hunter Robin Vampire Hunter D Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust The Galaxy Express 999 Infinite Stratos Kekkaishi Needless Yu Yu Hakusho Fist of the North Star Noein FLCL Hellsing Patlabor 1 & 2 Black Magic M66 Arimtage III: Dual Matrix Appleseed - the original Akira MD Geist 1 & 2 Lupin the Third series Porco Rosso Princess Monokoke Spirited Away Macross Plus Black Jack Chrono Crusade Dominion Tank Police Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Gurren Lagann Now and Then, Here and There Perfect Blue Bubblegum Crisis Kite Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer Afro Samurai Samurai Champloo Eureka 7 Blood + Code Geass Death Note Inuyasha Read or Die movie Rorouni Kenshin S-Cry-Ed Samurai Girl Strait Jacket Tenchi Muyo! Trinity Blood Metropolis Cowboy Bebop: The Movie Millenium Actress Bleach: The Diamond Dust Rebellion Bleach: Memories of Nobody Bleach: Fade to Black .hack/sign Tekken the movie Afro Samurai Resurrection Dead Leaves Blood: The Last Vampire Demon City Shinjuku Heavy Metal: FAKK 2
I'm Watching: Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood Durarara Bleach Polyphonica Dream Eater Merry Guin Saga Night Raid 1931 Shin Koihime Musou Skull Man Angel Beats La Corda Special A
I know I'm forgetting a few, but that's most of it. Feel free to ask about ones you don't know.
It seems like a lot, but keep in mind that this is since I started when I was 15, so 11 years of anime. If it's been on Cartoon Network or SIFI, I've seen it. As of right now, I watch about 5 hours a week.
