Devil Man parts 1 & 2 are good examples of anime horror, especially if you are into Lovecraft.

If you are willing to go outside of the horror theme then there are MANY great series out there.

A good site to get information about the latest anime being screened right now in japan and also old series with reviews by fans etc http://www.animenfo.com

Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke): Fantastic movie by one of the most critically acclaimed studios in japan, the ones that brought out Spirited Away just recently.

Bubblegum Crisis 2040: Not just an update on the original, this series goes far beyond the first in style and story.

Love Hina: This is a love/comedy type about a guy that is forced to live in a dorm full of girls. A little fanservice but a VERY good story and lots of funny moments.

Magic Knights Rayearth: By CLAMP the best story based manga group around. Magical girl type series with the only good mecha type battles in anime (i HATE mecha anime but love this series)

No one mentioning Neon Genesis Evangelion? a great spin on the whole Battlemech-idea with an eccletic mythology like only the japanese can, with christian motives like Angels, Demons, Adam & Eva and so on running wild.

WOW :shock: graag

It's never to late to this topic :wink:

Great list and will look into them!

The SR/animereactor forums are quite good for the links and a bit of info, but it's just knowing whats good to get, thats why i posted so your post is a great help.

Already started checking out links etc, while at work :oops:

And cheers for the link, gonna register and get clicking soon :mrgreen:

Also I see alot of links are tagged 'OVA' what does it mean? Anybody?

graag · **Posted:** Wed Nov 05, 2003 4:51 pm **Post subject:**

OVA, OAV: Short for Original Animated Video (OAV), or sometimes Original Video Animation (OVA), refers to an animated feature that was produced specifically for the home video market, bypassing broadcast, cable and theatrical releases.

Didn't see the movie, but the anime is great and probably much better - Jackie Chan isn't really obsessed with sex, right? :lol:

A year or two ago I even had to postpone regular friday pubbing by an hour because of reruns. The only down is that there are 140 episodes of which only 25 are available.

John_Doe · **Posted:** Thu Nov 06, 2003 4:30 am **Post subject:**

hmm.. not sex i guess, but he's crazy about some girl, if I remember correctly. And eating (as everyone seams to be in asian cinema) It's one of the best Jackie Chan flicks IMO. Laughterwise that is.

And on that quote :

I've clicked a few animes, the ones I remember seeing but don't remember to get me started (i.e. ones I know I liked before!)

And SR has just posted City Hunter Series 1 - DVD Rips

Anyway, Final question is :

Hentai - What is it?

Coz if it is just anime Hardcore Pr0n, then I won't bother with it :wink:

But if there are some good Hentai flix I don't mind the sex, just don't see the point in watching cartoon pr0n!
If it's like a normal anime i.e story line, action,comedy etc but with SEX as well, then might be worth checking out the good ones?

I remember watching a few on Sc-Fi channel at midnight on Saturdays on Sky Digital, and they were bizzarre :shock:

John_Doe · **Posted:** Fri Nov 07, 2003 4:28 pm **Post subject:**

Then you should check this out: ed2k: Kite.(uncut.DVD.rip).avi [790.78 Mb] [Stats]

some sex scenes, but not an anime-porn flick.

paul-scream22 · **Posted:** Fri Nov 07, 2003 4:42 pm **Post subject:**

OK will do!
*click

hmmmm 790MB avi though :shock:

luckily I have dvd-r!

And I'll need it with the combined size of these anime TV series etc :mrgreen:

graag · **Posted:** Fri Nov 07, 2003 5:11 pm **Post subject:**

Yep, hentai is mostly anime hardcore porn with addition of demons, tentacles and school uniforms. Kite is highly recommended and you could try with Bible Black or Mystery of Necronomicon for a bit of horror, Ogenki Clinic as comedy or Sailor Moon and the 7 Ballz as hentai Troma. :wink:

Craftee · **Posted:** Sat Nov 08, 2003 9:48 am **Post subject:**

I like a lot of the Hentai but I think its released in Japan as quick as we release new adverts for coke or pepsi

Its usually good quality but there is a small amount of crap chucked out.

Check out http://www.animetric.com/hindex.html
for reviews of the most popular stuff

Craftee :wink:

ps check out the "Cool Devices" series for some really weird porn/rape stuff
