Regardless, a friend of mine, Bobby, kindly loaned me seven tapes of an Anime series, Slayers.  So I instantly became hooked, almost as bad as when he loaned me Record of Lodoss War.  At least that was six tapes, end.  Slayers keeps going on and on and on... and then again, they're starting up Lodoss again.... more of my hard earn... umm... well, more of my cash wasted on such items.. Ahh, well, doesn't matter..

Though, if you can afford it, I highly recommend picking up a few of the Slayers tapes.  Very nice, humourous, without being too silly, and with a few bits of seriousness thrown in... Oh, and unlike 90% of Anime... NO NUDITY!! WHOO HOO!! Anime that doesn't make me feel like I'm watching Cartoon Porn... Narf Troz Zort!

Then there's Neon Genesis Evangelion, which my friend Draco is collecting.. Those are great..though he's mad that the movie "End of Eva" isn't dubbed yet..  Good ol' Slayers are!

Now, this gets into the whole Dubbed vs. Subtitled argument, which, I personally don't care, but when I start to watch a series, I prefer it consistent in all ways.  If I watch is Subbed, I refused to buy the dubbed versions, and vice versa.. And I really really hate it in Slayers, where after the first four tapes, two of the main characters get new voice actors.. Hell, I have Draco halfway believing that, it's not Zelgatis, but his brother, Zelgratis... *Laughs* And, no, he doesn't honestly believe that..

Regardless, here's a little list of the various moives/series I have watched and approve of greatly

Ghost in the Shell
Slayers
Slayers Next
Slayers Try
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Record of Lodoss War
Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight
Battle Angel
Akira

And, here's a series I saw one of, that, while insanely juvenile, was still entertaining.. Go Uncle Tog!  (pronounced Tong.. go figured, but he's one mellow ass son of a bitch... cool story about him.  He's a Thai fellow, knows both American and Thai.. anyway, he was looking for a job, and found a kick ass computer one that needed.. get this.. someone who could speak both Thai and English... .lucky bastard..)
