Haha allrighty! I actually saw Blue Seed out of order. I had rented whatever they had at the video store, at least 4 or 5 episodes from the beginning or so, and loved every minute of it. And from there I actually watched it till the end, and didn't bother seeing it from episode one till much later. Actually, the first 2 episodes bored me. That said, stick with it. You'll figure out what's going on later, and it's really enjoyable! I also LOVE the omake stories at the end of each episode, they are HILARIOUS. I got attached to the characters and felt is was pretty solid the whole way through. Just talking about it I want to watch it again. I didn't get a chance to see all of the sequel either, but from what I do remember seeing of it, it was also pretty good. And I enjoyed it more in English.danth wrote:Whoa, awesome, we have a lot of favorites in common, like Outlanders, El Hazard, and Tenchi Muyo. Sonoda is also one of my favorites.
You also mentioned Blue Seed, which I have on DVD but haven't gotten around to watching, other than the first episode. It tried the whole "in media res" first episode thing, but I was mostly just confused as to what was going on. I suppose if I asked you, you would tell me that I should give it another try. Do you feel like trying to sell it to me? I guess I "want to want to" watch it, if that makes any sense.
Okay, cool. That's pretty much what I wanted to hear.ryoran wrote: Haha allrighty! I actually saw Blue Seed out of order.

I love 3x3 Eyes, though I heard the original "movie" I had on VHS was actually OVAs put together. So...I really want the DVD collection now, knowing that. ;o; I remember liking it so much because it had reminded me of Jackie Chan's Armour of Gods/Operation Condor, so it had this Hong Kong action flick as an anime feel to it. (I also happen to be a huge fan of Hong Kong movies!)danth wrote:Have you seen 3x3 Eyes and Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, also by Yuzo Takada?
Well...the only way I got most of my information for anime on the net was Anime Web Turnpike. I remember browsing it almost every day. It's how I found Animenation, which is the first anime related forum I joined back in the day. I also put up my personal art site onto it back in the day, when Geocities was first around. But I relied more on Animerica, Mangazine, and Protoculture Addicts for any information. We only had one computer and I lived with a family of 6 so it was hard to keep on the thing for too long._D_ wrote:I don't remember too many women anime fans from up in Winnipeg but there were a lot of boys and men that shared your passions for the series you mentioned. They still do. I still have a ton of cels from El Hazard and a few from Orange Road hanging around here someplace. Many of them read girls and women's manga to this day. I take it you were not part of the web/net culture back when you were 16? there were a lot of resources even at that time. But you had to know...
I really enjoyed the original Cat Girl Nuku Nuku and definitely recommend it. I haven't seen Nuku Nuku Dash or TV. I tried watching Airbats and just couldn't force myself to finish it.ryoran wrote: Catgirl Nuku Nuku I have not seen, but always wanted to. I have a manga I found for $1 recently of Nuku Nuku though, with Yuji Moriyama's artwork. Reminded me I also wanted to watch Airbats as well.
