Re: Anime Recs?

[(Anonymous)]

Adventure (more adventure than fantasy)
Samurai Champloo
Last Exile
Basilisk
Fushigi Umi no Nadia (oldie but goldie)

Fantasy/Adventure (a bit of both)
Serei no Moribito
Kemono no Sou-ja Erin (fairly long)
The Twelve Kingdoms
Wolf's Rain
Fractale (fairly short)
FullMetal Alchemist (fairly long! There are two versions, I like both, but many like FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood better)
Vision of Escaflowne (the series)

Oops, *Seirei no Moribito.

I'm adding Read or Die (3 OAVs of 25 minutes each), because of its rather unique concept!

Re: Anime Recs?

Personally, the Read or Die OAV is my least favourite part of the ROD franchise (among the portions available in English - IE, the first two manga, and both anime). I would recommend ROD the TV (26 episodes), however. It's much better in every way - there's characterization! The plot's not just an excuse for blowing stuff up! OK, Anita's voice in the Japanese language version makes me want to poke my eardrums out with rusty nails. But that's minor, and easily avoided by watching the very good dub.

AYRT

Oh, my curiosity is piqued! I've only seen the OAV, and not the series. The OAV has many, many flaws (too short, too sketchy, even though it is rather mouth-watering and Yomiko is likable), I'll check out the TV show!
Thanks.

Re: Anime Recs?

[kamino_neko]

ROD the TV was my introduction to the franchise (I watched the OAV between episodes 8 and 9 - which was good timing since Anderson showed up in episode 9).

It's certainly not without flaws (I find the second half of the series, when it becomes a direct sequel to the OAV to be significantly weaker than the first half, for instance), but it is delightful for the first half, and not bad for the second half. (It also helps to have read the Read or Die manga, first, though I didn't - that way you get to actually see Nenene and Yomiko interact before Yomiko shows up in the second half.)

My favourite iteration of the franchise is Read or Dream (manga)...though it's a very different beast from Read or Die or either anime. (Less action oriented, no overarching plot until the last volume...)

+1 to Samurai Champloo. I'm going to be rewatching it again soon.

Yes to Twelve Kingdoms (aka Juuni Kokki) and YES to Vision of Escaflowne. Both are flaw-free.
