Currently on an amime watching spree,

Pita Ten
Steel angel 1 & 2
ufo princess 1 & 2
ichigo

working my way through card captor but im finding it lame, ive also been advised to watch angel tales. -_-

One thing i have noticed is that most of the amime i have watched so far seems to have a generic storyline with a few bits of chrome around the place.

random usless kid at school
someone in the family is dead or never there (father or mother)
random semi retarded hot girl with magical powers drops in
love hate story followed by a realiseation of love in the final episode

seriously need advice on something that doesnt have to do with angels....

On to the last episodes of Gantz now. It's been good but the ecchi content has really shot up towards the end of the series. I'm not sure if its crossed the line of plot service or not.

Gantz digresses from the manga in the last half of the show from memory. So you will probably find more ecchi in that.

Thing is it was really definite. I think I got to episode 16 then all of a sudden there were sex scenes and panty shots :eek:

. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that but it was really out of context for the series.

There might be some higher meaning about it, but it definitley shocked me.

So in episode two, the girl with the engorged breasts and the crotch eating dog wasn’t a subtle enough hint as to the future content of the anime?

I'm still amazed that Gantz apparently passed through the BBFC uncut (from memory), and yet Parania Agent (I think it was) had a cut.

Anyone else not had much chance to watch any anime recently?
I just realised i've had Vol 7 of the GITS second season sat on the side for a month, I've been caught up with the forums and Ultima online too much to sit down and watch it

(i'm going to bung it in the player tonight).

Nope, not watched anything for a while but now it's half-term I can make a dent into my backlog hopefully.

Yes and no. Said dog scenes only appeared about 3 times in the series and they weren't there for fan service, and they were very short. The point is the rest of the series was fairly tame in ecchi content. There weren't any sex scenes or anything paticularly ott (compared to other animes at least) and then you hit ~ episode 16/17 and blam pany shots and full blown sex minus the genitals.

Uesd the HMV 20% discount in GD last night and got Gunslinger Girl Vol 1, FMA Vol 1 and Samurai Gun Vol 1.

Samurai Gun looks good in trailers, but all the reviews I've read suggest it's crap.

just a heads up for 4.50 film four this afternoon
Whisper Of The Heart(subbed)
pity it is on film four as i have discovered

apparently they use a different GOP structure when they broadcast their films ,this means i have been unable to archive my Anime that i have recorded from them
tried everything i could find too(so ye have been warned

)

Original vamp hunter d is a classic. Hellsing is pretty similar although the main character is a lot more cocky. You should like it though (that is if you haven't already seen it).
