you can probably find some of those episodes on youtube. they have some very obscure stuff on there, so i'll bet you can find at least a few episodes. i know they have inu yasha on there, but its a lot more popular than wolf's rain....
Edit-- I found some, but they are in Japanese with English subtitles. Here is episode one part one. There are links on that page to the rest.

Oh yeah - I forgot. There's a show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. It's an Anime show about this little child who is a detective and he uses a device to make it seem that when he speaks, the person talking is always an adult. Haven't seen the show in months, but I really like it a lot.
The name sounds like Case Closed or something like that. Sound familiar to anyone?

I'm a relative newcomer as far as anime is concerned, but what I've seen so far has been interesting. Here are my thoughts on some of the anime series that I've seen:
I've been watching Bleach, and it's been an interesting series so far. It's quite fascinating how the series manages to develop its big cast of characters while still staying cohesive enough, and some of the action scenes are quite nice. I've also enjoyed some of the dramatic episodes (in terms of storytelling, not action), and both the Japanese and in most cases the English voice actors have done a good job. The music isn't that remarkable, though, although it does have some catchy themes. I've also enjoyed the "filler" Bount arc in the anime version, although I'm waiting for episodes which will continue on the path the manga took (the whole Arrancar, Vizard etc. stuff).
Cowboy Bebop is one of these odd series out there but yet it has something in it that makes it such an interesting series. There's some crazy stuff going on in some episodes (a prime example being the hilarious "Mushroom Samba") although some episodes present tragic backstories as well as some bits of horror. Animation looks quite nice too. The main cast is nice and likable and we get to know them better as the series progresses. The music in the series is extraordinary with many music styles and catchy themes. The Cowboy Bebop film isn't that bad either.
I actually enjoyed the first two Digimon seasons. When I first saw them years ago, I wondered if they'd be like Pokémon, but to my surprise the two Digimon seasons had quite mature themes going on as well as some tragic stories (although there was a lot of comedy around), and the music in the Japanese version was quite nice with recognizable themes. The animation might be a bit weird at times, but often it does surprise with its quality and works well in telling the story. The story does remain comic but takes a darker turn as second season kicks in but in the end reaches a satisfying finale which solves some character arcs.
Fullmetal Alchemist is a series with a plot that becomes more and more complex as more and more secrets are revealed. There are many dramatic and tragic scenes as well as comedy, but the overall story is a very dark one and deals mainly with the two Elric brothers and their quest to restore their original forms (although they soon end up in a conflict of both political and occultic proportions). The cast is somewhat big but the series pulls it off and manages to give personality to many characters as well as giving redeemable qualities to the villains. Many minor characters are of the recurring type and have a role to play in the story, which I found a nice surprise. The music works very well and is quite emotional, and the voice actors do a nice job. The animation is quite beautiful at times, and the overall series is interesting.
Ghost in the Shell has also been an interesting series. It requires a bit more brainwork due to its complex storyline (such as the infamous Laughing Man plot arc), but it's been quite an experience. The actors do a good job, the score and songs are quite catchy at times, and the animation is smooth. But the main attraction in the series is the plot which is quite sophisticated and often made me watch some episodes more than once to catch the subtle hints presented therein. Still, it's a good series worth watching as long as you pay attention to the story. The GitS films have been alright as well.
Neon Genesis Evangelion might at first seem like "a mecha fighting various monsters" type of series, but it soon shows that there's more than meets the eye. Although the concept of angels in this series is interesting, the series focuses more on psychology and the complex character arcs. The animation stays above average, although the cut of budget is noticeable in certain parts of later episodes. Music works well for the most part but only offers some recognizable themes but that's pretty much it. The final episodes might leave many questions in the air (although the ending is interesting), but watching the films based on the series should clarify some bits of the sometimes complex story.
RahXephon follows in the same vein as NGE but isn't a carbon copy even though it has a giant thing which is controlled by a boy who fights against evil invaders. The animation is smooth, and the emotions of the characters have been portrayed well, and this is due to both animation and the actors. The plot gets quite complicated and offers quite a few twists before the end, and the music is experimental and classic and works well for the most part. The series isn't that concerned with the invasion plotline, but is more concerned with the thoughts of the protagonists and does make the audience care for many characters, even some of the villains as motivations for their actions are slowly revealed. All in all it's an interesting series with many psychological elements. The film isn't as remarkable as the series, though, but it does have some nice moments although it suffers from being too short.
Scrapped Princess as a series surprised me. It starts out as a medieval fantasy adventure, but there are quite a few surprises in store for the audience as the plot slowly unfolds. It basically concentrates on the three protagonists and their stories, and in some ways I was a bit disappointed that some of the villains weren't developed enough. Still, the storyline is engaging and has a nice cast of characters. There's nice animation, the actors do a good job, and the music works even though it could've been better. It's a series worth watching.
Vision of Escaflowne has an interesting cast of characters and a nice story (and it's also interesting how the story and its characters influenced a popular computer game Starcraft) and does offer a few surprises. The animation looks impressive at times, and the actors do a fine job as usual. What's particularly interesting is the epic soundtrack which mixes some dramatic cues with massive orchestra and choir singing in Latin. At times the score does have a Disney-like feel to it (and what I mean by this is that it has a Alan Menken-esque style every once in a while) and gives us many recognizable and moving themes. There's both action and romance and some tragedy too, and it can be quite a moving series at times. The film, on the other hand, isn't as good as the series but still worth watching for an alternate retelling of the story (not to mention the soundtrack of the film is just as epic as the series's).
Wolf's Rain has become one of my favourite anime series. It's a story about wolves who try to survive in a post-apocalyptic world and try to find a way to Paradise. Of course there are humans involved too, and the overarching plot gets more complex as various subplots are introduced during the series. The animation is quite beautiful, and the voice actors are great (although the Japanese VAs are better than the English ones in this case). The music does have a nice feel to it at times but becomes increasingly darker as the story becomes more dramatic (there are many memorable themes, and surprisingly enough both the opening and ending theme are great, whereas in most anime shows usually one is great whereas the other is not). Both the heroes and the villains aren't in the common black&white setting but instead are in the grey area, having both good and bad qualities. Many characters (and not just the protagonists) go through a lot of character development as the series progresses, and things definitely take a darker turn in the latter episodes. Some questions are left unanswered, and the audience has to put the pieces of the puzzle together, but on the whole the story is satisfying and complex with many emotional moments. This is a series worth watching.

That is absolutely right. And not only is it one of the most thought-provoking shows I've ever seen, but it's also my favorite show period at the moment. Glad to see it has more fans.Lazario wrote:Oh yeah - I forgot. There's a show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

As you can tell, I'm quite the anime fan. My favorites are:
- Case Closed / Detective Conan (own every episode and movie released so far, as well as every English manga)
- Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z (What can I say, I can't get enough of the story and characters, even if the plot is a little thin)
- Fullmetal Alchemist (For you anime fans, I think this one speaks for itself)
- Lupin the Third
- Yu Yu Hakusho
There are dozens of others that I love, but I don't think I would be able to name all of them.

You shouldn't stop liking anime, you just haven't seen ANIME at it's best, trust me. There are plenty of amazing anime movies. If you like blood and guts you have to see Ninja Scroll and Blood: the last vampire, if you like sad movies you have to see Metropolis (although it's just a sad ending). Anime movies have no boundaries and won't be re-edited like disney movies. As I've mentioned in another thread, you either love them or you don't, but originality will never be compromised. I highly recommend you give Anime another chance, you should watch Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust. That movie is the epidemy of perfection (art wise). Anime will not let you down, you won't regret it.PixarFan2006 wrote:I used to like anime shows like Pokemon and Digimon, but now I am sick to death of anime. Look what it has done to Toon Disney! I think most anime shows today are just an excuse to market toys.

I have been an Anime "newbie" for a LOOOOOONG time. I got way into Sailor Moon in college, mainly because it was a show about hot girls fighting monsters. Still have a huge crush on Sailor Moon and her inner scouts (Moon the most though). However, I still haven't seen much of Sailor Moon beyond what aired on television in the states, and not even all of the later episodes of those. While in college and at the peak of my Sailor Moon obsession, I sometimes strolled into the Anime Club meetings, where you could sit and watch Anime during the lunch hour. I caught glimpses of some stuff there that I'd like to see more of, but I never have gotten around to it yet. Mainly because Anime is very expensive! I'm not a renter, I'm a buyer. Some of the stuff I've been interested has run on Adult Swim, but I really feel that with the good anime, you have to watch it from beginning to end, and I catch Adult Swim too sporadically. I have seen a few anime movies, like Vampire Hunter D and Akira, and I like that stuff and would like to expand my Anime DVD library someday, and my knowledge of Anime. I will never love it as much as Disney; I feel it's greatly overrated but give it props for not being "just for kids." However, some of it is fantastic, but the main appeal it has for me is I love the way they draw females with cutesy looks and styles and big eyes.
Besides a handfull of Sailor Moon DVDs (to a novice, it would seem like several, but it's just a dent in the grand total of SM DVDs I need), I have a few other Anime's, including some Miyazaki stuff (I LOVE Kiki's Delivery Service), the Akira 2-disc (which a friend sent me, though it doesn't play that well), and a Battle Athletes DVD I bought because I found it at a good price. I also have Gunbuster 1, 2, and 3 on VHS. Saw it at the Anime Club and wanted to buy it. Off the top of my head I MIGHT have some other Anime on DVD, but I can't think of any, and I'm sure I have a couple others on VHS. Oh, I have Project A-Ko on VHS.

Oh yeah I was going to see Tokyo Godfathers and all the ones listed, but I never got around renting from Netflix. Are they good, they most likely are, but have you seen them? Do you recommend them?disclosedtruth wrote:^ I have. Pretty interesting movie with psychological themes. If you like that title, you should check out other titles by Satoshi Kon (Tokyo Godfathers, Millenium Actress, Paranoia Agent).

I have been a huge anime fan for many years...
I started back in the 70s & 80s, watching stuff like Speed Racer, Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato,) Ultraman (live-action,) and TeknoMan on TV. I didn't really think of them as "Anime" at the time, though, just cool shows that were slightly different from the latest 30-minute toy commercial.
Then in the late 80s, I went to a Sci-Fi (or even Star Trek only) convention, and they had a room set up with some anime showing, in raw Japanese (no subtitles.) I believe the titles were Akira, possibly Appleseed, and maybe Riding Bean and/or Maddox-01... Needless to say, those weren't the most accessible films to someone who couldn't speak a word of Japanese... Even so, I found myself intrigued...
I got my Laserdisc player in 1990, I believe, and while I am not sure when I got my first Anime laserdisc, I feel that it was probably sometime that year or the next. I started collecting lots of anime, especially the Pioneer series such as Tenchi Muyo, Moldiver, El-Hazard, Armitage, and Hyper Dolls. I also had all of the Bubblegum Crisis discs, and several others. I think I ended up with about ~150 anime Laserdiscs by the time I was done, although some of those were purchased on clearance quite a few years later.
For a while, I was busy downloading titles that hadn't been released in the U.S., but I grew tired of that, since I was also buying them up on DVD when they WERE released. I have about 400 anime DVDs now, although I haven't picked much up in the past year or so...
Here are my current Anime DVDs, I will post a few favorites afterwards....

Part 2: L/R to Zone of Enders

Yay anime, 
I love anime, I"m fairly new to some diff shows, but a lot of anime I know from reading Shonen Jump. Here's a list of what I have for DVD's it's not big though 
Cardcaptors - New Lessons
Gatekeepers - New Fighters!
Dragon Ball Z Super Android 13
YuYu Hakusho - Eps.71-74, Eps75-78 and 83-86 all uncut on three dvd's

Other than those I have an assortment of tapes that I buy for 5$ and under which include:
Digimon
Pokemon
Hamtaro
Cardcaptors
Sailor Moon (First Season)
Monster Rancher
Medabots
and Dragon Ball Z
I don't really watch any of the Gundam's or Ghost In The Shell, mostly since everytime it's on it's halfway through the series and I don't understand anything going on, so I mostly stick to what I know. Other shows I watch on t.v but haven't bought are
Naruto
Inuyasha
Full Metal Alchemist
One Piece
Zatch Bell
I used to watch Sailor Moon all the time but than YTV went and replaced it with some other show, so now I'm stuck watching the eps. I have on dvd/tape.
I love anime, I"m fairly new to some diff shows, but a lot of anime I know from reading Shonen Jump. Here's a list of what I have for DVD's it's not big though Cardcaptors - New Lessons

Hey does anyone own the Ninja Scroll 10th Anniversary Edition DVD? I wanna know if it's worth upgrading to. So does anybody who owns it or has seen it recommend it? Watching th Original Theatrical Trailer the movie seems way romantic than in the dubbed version, don't you think?
One last question, did the restoration undergone compromise the films exquisiteness, charm and originality?
