Chobits? Really?? I personally thought the story would go somewhere when I don't feel it ever did. It kinda boiled down to "You can have her but you can't fuck her."

The guy will get tired after a year but she'll always be looming around killing any girlfriend he has.

Meh it was an enjoyable story and i had read the manga when i was about 13 so it had some good memories attached to it.
Of course i am a sap for the romantic comedy when it comes to anime.

I read Chobits, it just always felt a little weird. Really the secondary character made the series for me. I mean, they actually developed and changed. Not my favorite ever.

DearS was better. Like Chobits, but with way more boobs and laughs.

I guess you could say the same of "Love Hina" the whole romance angle is downright retarded but damn if it wasn't awesome to see a guy get punched through a wall and fly off in the air.

Then again, some things you liked as a teenager when revisited turn out to be utter shit.

Anyone knows Fist of the North Star?

New and old. I spent alot of time considering what I'd do if I know where someone's "Head Explodes in a Bloody Mess" button was.

On that same note: JoJo's Bizzare Adventures. Za Worldu!

didnt they have a video game in the arcades about that, where you taped the punching pads in order to kill the guys with your soft strikes?

It was a sweet arcade game where you punched the hell out of pads.

Exactly what I was coming to. Such an awesome arcade game at the time.

Even though I don't like alot of anime, two exceptional pieces come to mind-


For psychological horror, 'Perfect Blue'


For a strange mash of the horribly cute and horribly bloody with a cup of absurdity mixed in- "Beat to death Angel Dokuro-Chan"

Yeah, I gave everybody the outline of that one sometime back. Funny show.

Besides what has been mentioned, movie wise I'd say Paprika and series wise Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

Guyver and Hellsing are about the only series I can tolerate without vomiting enough bile to dissolve a small truck.

I also like a series I saw called Ghost Stories, mainly because it had a ball-blastingly funny American dub.

Do you prefer the new or the old Guyver series, Tom?

Hard to decide.  They both contain things I like.  I need to watch them again.  Been a while.
