I'd say Eva is in a subset of its own. Borrowing on multiple occasions from both the Super Robot and Mecha styles alike. We are talking about Gainax here. They don't exactly play by the rules, yet still come up top with some of the best shows their side of Koganei. More importantly, Japanese otaku don't really pay heed to categorization all too much, that is, look at Eva 01 on the SRW games. -- On topic. I would like to recommend Aria the Natural. The best way I can describe it is as a slice of life show set in Neo Venezia, a city in Mars, now called Aqua. The story is... very much nonexistent. But does it matter? Not at all, the show is highly relaxing and atmospheric, like watching the sun set from the rooftop of a skyscraper near the ocean. I guess you can say it's the adventures of our lead Akari and her friends, but that still won't convey the mood you get watching Aria. If you liked Megami Sama, this'll be right up that alley. I leave you with a gorgeous pic of the manga. | ||

I find that manga lends itself better to comedic timing and style, whereas anime almost always has to compromise the two. My current favorite is Hajime No Ippo. It's about a high school student named Makunouchi Ippo, who gets bullied a lot because of his shy temperament...until he becomes reborn as a boxer. It follows his exploits and his trials in the world of professional boxing, as well as the people that he meets along the way. It's one of my favorites because it's so character-driven; you can feel genuine empathy for the characters and clearly see the effect of each new experience on them, even if you don't follow or enjoy boxing...so even though it has over 78 volumes, at no point did it feel like just Dragonball Z in a boxing ring. Ignition-One is scanlating it currently, so pick up a volume or two and see if you like it. Peace. |

Raging Heart Excelion mode anyone? I like Nanoha A's as well and I am looking forward for the Striker S. Other animes in my bag are - Divergence Eve - haven't started yet. - Maburaho - three girls wants one guys genes... - Disgaea - Have to watch it too... - Mamotte Shugotten - I'll watch it as well soon... - Tsubasa Chronicles - love it - Tsukuyomi Moon Phase - I love it and am missing Hazuki-chan... Too bad I have to look for episode 26. T_T This post has been edited by junetrish024 on Jan 30 2007, 01:56 AM | ||

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,170 Member No.: 15,255 Joined: Jan 5th 2006 Location: Update Profile | Just watched Aria ep.1, it's not bad. The artwork and music are really good, and it's only 13 eps, so they can probably keep it interesting, even though it's just about their daily live. |

Currently looking for the OAV DVD of Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten. I have to secretly laugh(laugh without noise) last night as I finished the whole series. 22 episodes in all and it was done just by last night. I slept at about 4am so i was quite sloppy today but still managed to watch the 5 episodes of the OAV. |

The 5a.m.-coffee-drinking- Evo.IV-driver Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,557 Member No.: 20,298 Joined: Sep 18th 2006 Location: Anywhere | If you want, take Onegai Sensei first then Onegai Twins. Having watched both, they share some fair comedy. Especially Onegai Twins wherein after some serious scenes, the charaqcters suddely make some goof off... Quite fun. Maid in Hanaukyo is another title I recommend. Funny series I can say. |

The 5a.m.-coffee-drinking- Evo.IV-driver Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,557 Member No.: 20,298 Joined: Sep 18th 2006 Location: Anywhere | That's correct. That's why in norder to understand the whole One-verse, you have to watch and finish Onegai Sensei's 13 episodes first before you take on the 13 episodes of Onegai Twins... Hanaukyo Maids Tai... Funny. I love it. |

Onegai Sensei's 13th episode is kind of a bit pointless and over the top in terms of fan-service, but if it's not your thing, you can skip it, it's just an extra. | ||

Both Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins have an "extra" 13th episode, which is an OVA, which is blatant fanservice. Having seen both series (and having seen Twins first... heh), I actually enjoyed Twins much more. Some things don't make any sense unless you've seen Teacher, but Twins was a much better series in my opinion. | ||

Heh, I will agree with you on Onegai Teacher's one being a bit over the top in terms of the fan service, but Onegai Twins... wasn't as bad (I am referring to episode 13). | ||

It's probably one of the most underrated anime series ever. Most all of the fanpages when you do a google search were last updated in like 1997 or so. Anyway, it's about how in the future of 1997, mechas are used for like construction and stuff, the mechas are like 20-30 feet tall, and are very utilitarian looking. Well since it's a big mecha, you can do lots of stuff with them, including crime, thus Patlabor, or Patrol Labor. It's about the Special Vehicles Unit 2. They're all a little bit nutty in their own little ways, but are good characters. I love this show, it was made in like 1989. It has no angsty teenagers, or overly spikey hair, or anything like that. It's very funny, while some episodes are about them fighting Labor crime, much of them just involve the characters getting drunk or something similar. It has a lot of very good action, but is also very funny. I reccomend it, it is one of my favorite animes of all time. |
