anime freak
Posted in General on 06/02/2002 11:46 pm by katI’ll admit it. I love anime. Like music, I tend to like a wide variety of anime instead of just one genre. My favorite anime is Vampire Hunter D, mainly because the graphics are absolutely beautiful. Recently, one of my friends mentioned that he would loan the boxed set of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The one condition was that I had to come by and visit in order to get them. Since I was dropping his girlfriend off at his place, I stuck around for a bit today and he finally let me bring the set home. Yum! I finally get to see the whole set all at once. I’ve already seen most of the episodes, but never in the right order. While working on code tonight, I stuck in the first DVD. I’m almost finished. Oh delight! Pure happiness!

I finally got a chance to watch all 26 episodes of Trigin. It starts out silly and gets pretty serious by the end. It’s the best Anime series I’ve ever seen as far as storyline, and one of the better as far as animation. I like the look Cowboy Bebop (and the fact the characters rarely go into "silly emotional big eyed happy face" mode), but Trigun has a better story end-to-end.
I do like Vampire Hunter D, and I need to watch NGE sometime (hint: copy box set for Brian). Most anime story lines are as thin as the toilet paper in an airport restroom, so I appreciate the good ones when they come along.

I’m in the middle of watching Escaflowne. There are silly parts in it, but these are made up for by cool mecha violence and explosions and cat girls. So far it’s a really good series — I’m at about episode 8 of 24.
