Yeah, he's on the first page, but I just couldn't help myself. xD

What is seiyuu in English again? Voice actor?

Yes, voice actor.

Hands down: Makoto Shinkai

Code: Select all

Great art, shitty story. Went no where fast.

[ShizKnight]

Shinkai is not an artist but an animator.

Animators are artists themselves. But whatever. I can't attribute one artwork to just one person.

I gots it nao k? T__T

Another good artwork is Death Note (I know, it's stronger under a soundtrack category). It's not as good as any other ones mentioned but the way the anime looked was pretty good. It really captured the dark tone of the manga.

I really did love that movie. Truly amazing.

It pushed it further. Reading a manga, you only get still images on ink, and sometimes with a full-color spread. After that, it relies on your imagination's limits.

The anime was beyond my expectations. (... though I still hate the change in the end >.>)

I actually like Death Note manga because it's in black and white, it fits the story I think. I thought the anime itself wasn't adapted properly, didn't find what I expected for it so I kept myself away from the anime, though I saw the slightly different ending.

oops, just thought of another one

くものむこう、やくそくのばしょ。 My translation would be "Opposite the Clouds, (our) Promised Place. I have no idea where they got "Early Days" from, but whatever.

Anyways, like I said before in my rankings, the best animation ever. DEFINITELY check it out, you will not be disappointed.

Gankutsuou.

Now THAT is trippy artwork. Great show too.

EDIT - Lulz, I screwed up the bold part.

[Libertarian]

"5 Centimeters Per Second" and "The Place Promised in Our Early Days" has the best artwork I've ever seen, by far. "Last Exile" is also pretty amazing.

[/Pi]

Has anyone seen "Voices of a Distant Star"? It was released before "Place Promised". I have it on my hdd but haven't seen it. Is it any good? I'd watch it for the visuals alone but does it have the same sad atmosphere as his other two movies?

No, it's really good. Trust me, the plot is REALLY good, not complicated but a heartwarming one. Watch it, though the relevancy of it to this thread is minuscule, and you'll agree when you see the animation... style...

@Kaiba pics...

TRIPPY SHIT!

I know what you mean...

Dunno, lots of people on my more Anime centered board say it's epic, but I for some reason have no interest in it...

my fav. animations so far was mushishi...i liked it anyways.

It was awesome hey? I know! ^ ^

oh and deathnote was good too.

Never gonna watch the Anime. The manga was just too good and I don't wanna ever ruin the experience ^ ^

Black Lagoon is alright. Plenty of action.

[Midori]

It's pretty good, the english dub isn't that great though, leaves out some of the funniest engrish jokes and ha a slightly different ending.

some of the arcs have pretty dark endings.


heres screens with minor spoilers inside.

Spoiler!

for some reason the screens came out with the aspect ratio odd.

She has the long ass arc if you read the manga, and theres also a loli-maid too.

I downloaded the manga once when I saw it popped up in TT, haven't read it though. I find it annoying to read mangas like that when you have to scroll to zoom and shit. The manga is still on going right? And did you say loli maid

Spoiler!

lol the bionic maid episodes were epic.

Spoiler!

Balalaika's anger > Incest Romanian vampire kids.

Spoiler!

I just realized where the last SS came from, urgh that was a nasty way to die.

Spoiler!

Like the episode where Eda tricked the Indian girl into buying their service.

LOL @ Sawyer or Ghost girl, weird/funny character. A loli that works as a cleaner(dismember dead bodies) who had her throat slitted and using a huge ass chain saw.

My favorite quote of the series, by Benny "As soon as she finds out you don't have the plates, she'll find a new way to crucify you that would impress Christ."

yeah, just use windows picture and fax viewer, most of the time you'll be able to read the words (that depends on your screen size though)

Wasn't that bad, at least it wasn't seppeku

[bakafish]

15.4" screen, had to zoom and scroll when I read Eyeshield 21.

Hahaha, Seppuku. Some guy was gonna do it in Rental Magica, luckily he didn't because I can't really stand gory stuff.
