Anime 203

Nothing special. I'm just making a list of the anime I've watched, so that I can then make a directory, and then attach reviews and screenshots and trailers and such.

Here's the first 203 that I could recall. I left out a few that I know I have seen parts of but which made no impression on me. It's not complete, so if you bother to look at it and say how could he not have watched that?!, don't worry, it may simply not have come to mind yet.

1 Revolutionary Girl Utena - the whole thing?

Posted by: HC at May 15, 2006 03:19 AM (0uWAs)

2 What's amazing is that despite the preposterous length of that list, there are titles I've seen which are not on it:

Divergence Eve
DragonBall Z
Gasaraki (ick)
Crest/Banner of the Stars
Full Metal Panic
R.O.D. The TV
Stratos 4

I suspect a couple of these are just titles you overlooked and forgot to include in your list. (For instance,I'm sure you've seen Full Metal Panic).

If you actually haven't seen "Crest of the Stars" and "Banner of the Stars", run do not walk to your DVD outlet and pick them up!

5 I just checked - Crest of the Stars is in fact available in Australia. Not Banner, though.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at May 15, 2006 09:31 AM (Iwp3n)

6 Crest of the Stars is very good. Banner of the Stars is better, but Crest is well worth your while.

Posted by: Steven Den Beste at May 15, 2006 09:43 AM (+rSRq)

7 Akira isn't bad but the manga is much better.

Its more of a case that I'm well past saturation on it and wish people would move on.

9 Oh, and no, I haven't seen the whole of Utena. But I have seen the movie, which crams the same amount of weirdness down into 80 minutes or so.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at May 15, 2006 02:33 PM (FRalS)

10 I added Full Metal Panic to the list because I actually have seen some of it, and liked it enough to buy it. I just haven't got around to watching the rest. Yet.

There are a few series on there like that. And rather more with the opposite result: RahXephon and Witch Hunter Robin I've only seen small parts of, and didn't like. Same with Tusbasa Chronicle. And FLCL. And, of course, Evangelion.

I've left Reign out because I thoroughly loathe it and don't want the rest of the list to get cooties.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at May 15, 2006 02:42 PM (FRalS)

11 The RGU series actually has a plot - the movie... doesn't.

It's the difference between creating a highly structured work involving an excess of symbolism and...

ODing on LSD.

Anyway - an impressive list, including several I have yet to find save in fragments (e.g. Strange Dawn).

Now Then, Here There has always been a favorite...

Also, Bastard! There are some fun memories...

Posted by: HC at May 16, 2006 10:49 AM (0uWAs)

12 Utena - yep. I know I've seen the first 13 eps, and then they didn't release any more for a couple of years, and I don't recall how far I got past that point.

The movie is... interesting. Particularly the Utena car.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at May 16, 2006 03:28 PM (LUBRF)

13 And the naked lesbian luge scenes? Clearly, at some point in the proceedings, the director decided to go off-script and tell us far more about his fantasy life than we ever really needed to know.

Anyway, if you saw through episode 13 then you saw the whole of the first movement. The next arc is an inverted repetition of that arc, sort of - Utena is tightly structured to the point of absurdity. Actually, it's a lot of things to the point of absurdity. That's much of the fun - figuring out what the stopwatch times mean, for instance, is a mystery that can amuse for a long time indeed.

Anyway, after the second arc, things get stranger as we finally inch towards explanations about world-revolution and the power of Dios. But, and here is where the series differs from the movie, you get crazy visuals <i>with</i> the explanations, not <i>in place of</i> the explanations.

Never seen Reign, never heard much good of it either. Witch Hunter Robin is decent, if you like 'em brooding... and, that aside, I love the eponymous character's design. The glasses! They devoted a whole episode to getting the glasses right!

Any Planetes?
