This page will provide basic to indepth series descriptions of all my favorite animes and eventualy links to commercial pages or fansubbers for purchasing. Only subs... I hate dubs since american companies are so cheap and hire not necessarily bad voice actors, but always they are simply unsuited voices to the roles. Just click on the series title listed above that you wish to know about. Under each you will find a link to the corresponding part of the [Gallary:] page. Last but not least is my [Anime Theatre:] which not exactly functioning yet, but will be as soon as possible. I would like to thank all those who have been patient with my lack of updates. I will be updating a lot in the next few weeks even though I am too busy too.
You can use the menu on the left to go to any other of my pages.
For those who wanted me to make my computer a server I'm afraid that it will not be happening for a while. I have to wait until the summer before I can purchase a new computer and my old 233 with only 32 megs of RAM crashes 5-23 times a day. There is now no way I can afford to make my computer into a server. However, I plan to buy a top of the line new puter with an 800 or 1GHz processor unless the price is just outrageous else I wont settle for less than 733 ;-). Once I have that I will once again consider it unless I decide to just pay for more web space or if enough people visit enough of my non-anime pages I will get unlimited space for free ;-) so please visit them even if for just a peak.
The actual gallary page can be found here: -Gallary
There you will once again find a list of animes that will display the corresponding gallaries. These gallaries will include my animated gifs
Upon its completion and restoration, the theatre page will be located here: -Anime Theatre
In theory, this page will have a featured clip which will be listed here and I might include a schedule. The number of clips will be limited due to the small space available, but I might cut larger clips into several parts.
As a limited money anime addicted person myself, I know how expensive it can be to feed this addiction. I have shopped a lot so I thought I would share what I have learned with others. Sometimes nothing but a commercial, brand spankin new tape will do... in that case I highly recommend Anime Nation. They are the cheapest place I have found and you can order safely online. Even better is that shipping is only $6 no matter how big the order and you can even do second day for just $10 no matter the size so thats what I usualy do. Course its not as nice for large orders but... read on and you'll find why its still worth it. Also check their specials page.
Next comes Right Stuff which is cheaper than retail, but the shipping can get a little expensive unless you buy more than $150 then its free, but there prices are higher so u end up saving more buying from Anime Nation however Right Stuff often has the best specials.
Amazon.com is still more expensive and shipping gets ridiculous, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
For some special straight from AD Vision go to their specials. The best thing about their specials is they often have lots at just $10 and shipping is included! They change once a week so bookmark and check back.
As for fansubbers... its always a risk, but commercial companies take forever to buy the rights and then you have to wait forever for them to release the whole thing of a series but the prices are nice... check back latter for some recommended fansubbers. In the meantime goto Anime Turnpike.
Maze is simply one of the funniest and wakiest of all the animes that I have ever seen. Not for the faint of heart as it delvs into lesbianism and seems to delv into incest, but at the same time it isn't. The ending is a bit of a dissapointment to say the least, but its great fun and the opening song rocks! I'll put more later.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most popular animes of all time, but its queer to say the least. Don't get me wrong I love it, but the ending is downright freakish. Basicaly its a play on the concept of armageddon and associated parts of the bible even though less than 1% of Japan's population is christian.... hmmm.... well its got giant robots which realy aren't robot and the earth has been devistated. An organization called Nerv has been created to use these "robots" to stop "angels" from causing the "third impact" which would basicaly finish what little is left of the human race off. The pilots are kids. Basicaly everyone associated with nerv are dysfunctional and queer far beyond the normal deviation. The main character, Shinji, make you want to strangle him all the dang blasted time because he is absolutely increadibly wimpy for a boy... Anyway more to come later. I do have the vast majority of my animated gifs devoted to this series.
Iria... now theres a woman. Dang I hate being in the real world... wish I was an anime character sometimes... don't ask u don't want to know. Anyway she a hot looking babe who can kick donkey (for those who can take hard language think of the equivalent bad word)! They have the most awsome gagets. Basicaly she has to kick this invinsible hatheaded monster. You have plenty of nice comic relief without making it a straight comedy. More to come later as well as the "Iria: not the animation" as I like to call the live action version. more later
Those who hunt elves is a comedy. I love it and I'm dying to get the rest, but I'm a little broke at the moment. Nice for those who are tired of robots and are a little tired of straight fantasy. Basicaly you have the martial arts master Junpei, Airi holywood actress and master of disguise, Machingun toting modern weapon loving school girl Ristuko, and a T-74 tank in a fantasy universe. Yes I said a T-74 tank in a fantasy realm ;-). Basicaly they have been transported from our modern world to a fantasy world. Celcia is the Eldar of the Elves who possesses the power to send them back using a spell, but Junpei causes her to get a little distracted and there is a slight accedent. The spell had to be written on her body and so it gets split into 5 peices which would be on the bodies of 5 elven females. So they set out to strip every female elf in the land to get the peices to send them back. Interesting plot ehh?? ;-). More later you can count on it.
Sakura Wars takes place in an alternate industrial revolution Japan. To defeat demons when they return for a second demon war, some influential people have lobbied for the creation of robots to fight them. The twist is that this is the industrial revolution... yes that means everything is steam powered ;-). To pilot this armor they nead people with high levels of "spirit energy" but can find none in the military, but find it instead in a group of girls. Cept a guy gets into the team later and of course has to be the leader though its justified by keeping the quariling females inline who wont respond to each other in command. Thats to appease my female audience ;-). Anyhow its a lot of fun though I only have the first part and I'm waiting on the second part which actualy has all of the action. So there will be more to come.
I simply love the redone Bubblegum Crisis. The animation is a lot better done. The only problem is the music absolutely positively sucks. I love the music in anime, but I was bitterly disapointed in their alternate/hard rock combination which is just so uninspiring and stinks. Oh well. I love their suits within the body armor ;-) and the new priss is a lot better looking. The situations kinda stink, but I just liked it a lot anyway despite all the shortcomings. Its one of my favs... interesting considering the flaws... oh well I was always so analytical. Well count on more especialy a petition for the quicker release of the rest... I'm dying here!!!!! they've only released one tape with the next coming soon and the rest at an outrageous 2 month intervals!!!! 2 months!!! argggggggg!!!!!
Sol Bianca... the most advanced and powerful ship in the entire universe piloted by a crew of 5 pirates and... can we make a guess here???... yes they are all female ;-) and they all kick butt too. Basicaly they will trash anything including entire armadas to get at treasure. More later.
Slayers is a fantasy world comedy that is a riot. I love it. The OAVs and Movies stink, as far as story etc, but they do have one point going for them, you can't beat Naga ;-). Takes a guess... BOINGGGGG!!!! yeeeehawww!! k nuff of that... Anyhow the series is a lot of fun. I only have the first one, but will get the other 2 series as soon as I can afford them. Its got cool, cool, possitively the best magic spells in any anime. The bad guys are also a lot of fun. The series keeps you entertained and all Tv shows that are going to span several seasons can learn from this one. Basicaly that means that they only go about 10 or so episodes before ending a storyline so you can pick up the series at several points without having to know what happened before and you wont go into chaper 11 bankrupcy before finaly getting to see how it turns out. You have the short, underdeveloped, powerful sorceresss Lina Inverse and her companions starting with Gourry the bonehead (and empty too). Zelgadis is the best though... he rocks!!! Vurummgun (or however u spell it who is a bad guy) comes in second on coolness. more later
Ranma is another of the best Anime of all time as far as my opinion is concerned. It is simply hilariously fun. I've only seen the first 6 tapes, but I'm hooked. I couldn't stop laughing. Basically its about a Japanese guy who goes to train with his father in China and in a cursed training ground they fall into water. Now whenever they get cold water on them, the father turns into a panda and Ranma turns into a girl. And trust me, there is plenty of water everywhere in the series. Hot water returns them to normal, but it is scarcer. More to come later I promise. I also plan to make some animated gifs as well.
Play the Tekkaman image game! Tekkaman has got to be one of the most graphically awesome Anime's ever created. Interestingly, Tekkaman Blade I was released as the TV series it was is the US under the name Teknoman, yet one can only find Tekkaman Blade II videos. Tekkaman Blade I and its counterpart Teknoman seem to have all but disappeared. Basically the plot of Tekkaman Blade II goes as this: The Earth is being attacked by the Radam again. Once again, the Earth's military is practically useless and its up to Tekkaman to save the Earth. Fortunately she improves slightly later. The commander is beautiful and a return from Tekkaman I as is the secretive 'D-Boy'. Its got cool technology, awesome battle scenes, and not too shabby of a story line. I wish they would bring Tekkaman back on tv I would love to see it. more later
You're Under Arrest is another kinda serious comedy spoof. It covers a lot of serious topics being that it is about two female cops, but at the same time provide significant comic relief. Nastumi power boost on! ;-) lots more to come later.
Yet another comedy, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor is incredible. I found it by chance in one of those stores that have a little of everything. They buy used stuff and sell it. I never heard of it before, but my sister say'd that one of here freinds said it was good, and as it was the only good anime in the store I took a chance and bought it. Man am I glad that I did. I also think that I'm just about the only one with any clips from it. The only one I found elsewhere was the intro. It does get a little tiring after a while, but it takes a while. I still re-watch a little every now and then, but it does have its limits though I guess thats because I re-watched them about 2 dozens times in a row when I got each tape.... hmmmm... think I found the reason. more later.
Lastly, the classic series and the series that started my craze, Robotech. I still model most of my ideas of mecha after Robotech, and its still the basis for much of my thinking on the future. My favorite part is the first half of the first part up till after Mars base Serra. Once again more later.
