Is there any new Anime stuff out?

Website · Post by **Random Sample** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 10:25 am

I have been wanting to watch some new anime shit, because I am tired of watching all of the same stuff over again and again. Anything new come out recently that I should check out. Any new series worth watching. I checked out Sword of The Stranger, and that was pretty bad ass.

yeah. sword and the stranger is looking pretty fucking good. ninja resurrection is pretty ill. they just rereleased it. obviously you got to get FOTNS. the new dvd looks pretty good. i was always used to watching it on my old crappy vhs tape. as for MYSTERIOUS CITIES OF GOLD. remember that old cartoon? its freaking incredible. i suggest you get that next!!!

hey duck. what is sword of stranger about? what is fist of north star about? what is ninja about?

sword/stranger looks kinda like vampire hunter D (the second one) so....i am most curious about that.

i have no experience with anime shit

Sword and the Stranger. i havent watched it yet. looks pretty good from what ive seen...

ninja resurrection is a historical epic involving the Tokugawa Shogunate attempting to wipe out Christianity in Japan. There's a lot of action, featuring huge battles splattered with blood and gore.

FOTNS Set in a post apocalyptic world where the Earth is barren and the strong survive by preying on the weak, the series follows the journey of Kenshiro, the successor of Hokuto Shinken, a secret martial arts style that allows its practitioner to destroy an opponent's body from within by striking into their secret channeling points, often resulting in a violent and gruesome death. Kenshiro uses his skills to protect the weak and innocent against the numerous villains that threaten their survival.

I haven't seen good anime in years. Recently went through and watched a bunch of gems in the past month. The other week I dug through clips from Ninja Scroll, the villains in that flick are nasty!

the only series I watch on a regular basis is bleach.

Until something else comes along, I guess I will be watching Cowboy bebop for the 100th time.

Nothing will ever top Cowboy Bebop.

new dvd edition

although according to reviews it's sourced from a new jap version, which means it still has those annoying blurs over the fun parts. so i'm on the fence about getting it

gmoney what's a good dvd of the crying freeman?

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 1:41 pm

whats the difference b/w the new version and the old version?

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 1:48 pm

north star? allegedly cleaned up and restored and all that jazz, not sure if there's anything as far as content

Lid · Post by **Lid** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 6:16 pm

ippo series is high quality. full metal alchemist 2nd part is on, and monster was ill.

street fighter 2 the animated movie is really dope. chun li's shower scene, the opening ryu vs sagat fight, ryu and ken vs. bison. actually this whole movie is on point, i loved every minute of it.

As quite a few of you guys have mentioned, Sword of the Stranger is dope, definitely worth checking if you havenגt already.

Sorry to hijack this thread a bit but anyone got any general anime recommendations, not just the new stuff?

Iגd say I prefer the more גadultג end of the anime spectrum, so for example whilst I enjoyed the likes of Full Metal Alchemist and Gundam I thought they were a little childish so didnגt really have any longevity. The stuff Iגve really go into is either feudal Japan ninja sword-play peoples heads being lopped off/exploding type of shit (Ninja Scroll) or bleak, big fuck-off guns, government conspiracies and stuff blowing up type of shit (GITS)

Some of the movies/series Iגve gotג¦

Akira
Ninja Scroll
Cowboy Bebop
Sword of the Stranger
Ghost in the Shell
Fist of the North Star
Golgo 13
Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Gundam Seed Destiny
Princess Mononoko

Iגve ordered Ninja Resurrection as I reckon Iגd like this. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I actually heard from many sources that Ninja Resurrection is very loosely tied to Ninja Scroll and that it was a terrible flick, which is why I never watched it.

Some recommendations:

I'm sure you'd dig Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust - it's just like Ninja Scroll (dope ass characters) but in a gothic vampire setting.

Both Vampire D movies are fantastic.
You would probably enjoy the Karas movies as well.

I like the bloodlust sequel better but the original '85 joint contains that dope company flow intro sample on Silence.

"I once was told of a mutant that could twist space around him and now it seems that i've met him"

I used to write reviews for anime dvd's for a website about 5 years ago, and I have to day that ninja resurrection is complete shit.

I need to find shit from the 80's that I missed. I am a big fan of 8 man after, golgo 13. I need to find more shit like that.

Lid · Post by **Lid** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 10:40 am

ninja resurection does not exist to me.

if u like other shit find tekkon konkreet and aachi and ssipak. wonderful days is also pretty dope. find the Hellsing OVA's

i thought the full metal alchemist series was over. only the manga is still going, right?

anyways, cosign both of these fucking shows. tremendous anime series if people want to take the time to get into them.
