Okay, who wants what?! :)

I can have Fullmetal Alchemist readily available (like right now). We also have Alias (not anime, but an acceptable substitute) available to us in some form ...

Double post with NAG one (but like this, you know :P ), FMA pooleez!!

FMA is gud ^^

Dragon Pink, full series!

On a related note, Adult Swim has picked up (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=6976) Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Glad to see you back Rybit. Or are you back yet? Have anything of the City Hunter type? Cheers! :cool:

Full Metal Alchemist Pleassssssssssssse!

Welcome back btw. :)

Anyone seen Gilgamesh? Is it any good?

On a related note, Adult Swim has picked up (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=6976) Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I weep at the thought of how badly they're going to tear that show up to fit it into 'acceptable' TV standards.

As for anime ideas... Haven't seen any new ones recently that I've gotten into. Though I did just try out that NarutoFan plus thing,and they have a good 50-75 different series available to download hella fast, so I'm going to check out a few. I keep hearing good things about bleach, but I'm on episode 7 and am ready to give up. Does it get better? I thought they talked too much in naruto...

I'd say Samurai Champloo, best series I've seen in a while. Just in case there's someone out there who hasn't seen it. For those that don't know, its from the same guy that did Cowboy Bebop. It's not as incredible as that, but still damn good.

I've noticed that I usually like the series that have a set ending(26 episodes or so )much more then the ones that go 100+ for some reason. I wish more TV shows over here did that, actually having a set ending and storyline advancement is something I rarely see.(outside of the occasional HBO mini-series I catch on dvd....mmmm... band of brothers....)

Steamboy? Still need to see that one.

Oh jesus, I almost forgot. It's not anime, but I'd say its worth hosting... It leaked saturday night.

Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story (http://www.torrentspy.com/search.asp?mode=torrentdetails&id=363424&query=stewie)

< (http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=mcd77)3 (http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=rabbits82)

Bleach is, as they say, the shit! I don't know, there's something about the series that I just love. I admit that there are episodes that aren't that good and it's sometimes slow, but it's definitely one of my favorites. Oh yeah and if I'm not mistaken it does have a set ending, but I can't remember how many episodes there will actually be.

Samurai Champloo started out really good imo and the fights were awesome, but I had to stop watching after the episode with the Dutch gay guy. Does it get better again after that?

Oh yeah and as for the NGE thing, that's just sacriledge and I'm staying as far away as possible from it!

Heh, I thought the gay guy one was both funny and sorta interesting. But yes, there aren't too many other 'wacky' episodes. There's one about baseball(seriously), but it isn't too bad. The action is best when it's someone that's actually involved in the story. If you like the fighting so far, the last episode will give you cream jeans.

And isn't bleach still in manga? So it's definetly going to be loonngg. Does the show get better? Now that I think about it, simply saying 'set ending' sounds pretty stupid. I just mean the series where they (seem to, at least) have everything planned out from the beginning. More like a long mini-series then a normal television show.

Lol... love Family guy. I have the first 5 episodes of season 4 on my phone ; )

Thormir, I did not know that, FOX ran it for a couple episodes and i freaking loved it.

Also, any chance Outlaw Star could be available?

Hmm, well I have been thinking about giving Champloo another shot and it would seem that you just settled it for me. As for baseball in the series, although rather wrong from a timeline point of view, makes sense in a way. I mean, it IS the most popular sport in Japan after all. There are lots of things I would like to ask, but the answers would all include spoilers.

Bleach is still in manga, yes, but I'm not sure for how long. The thing is that the story has come so far in 42 (or around there) episodes that I can't really see it getting anywhere near 100eps. There are some ways the story could turn that would make it that long of course, but it doesn't seem like it to me. Oh yeah and it seems very thought out if you ask me and there are some great fights in it. Another thing I like alot is how the characters can keep improving every few episodes (or so it seems at times). This could be seen as stupid I guess, but I like it.

I vote for Family Guy.
That show just rocks :D

Bleach really gets great around episode 28ish. I'm up to episode 33 so far, and I love it. I suscribe to Anime-Direct.com and they have alot of anime as well. 50-75 series and 3 servers to carry the load so its never slow.

If you like series with set-endings, check out My Hime. Its great!

What kind of a series is My Hime then?

It would be nice to see Monster put up, although that is only subbed up to episode 58. Gankutsuou if you would prefer a fully subbed anime, maybe Azumanga Daioh if you want something humourous.

Gankutsuou if you would prefer a fully subbed anime, maybe Azumanga Daioh if you want something humourous.I just want to take this opportunity to say that Azumanga Daioh is probably the funniest anime ever created. My head starts to hurt after just a few episodes, but it's amazing!

Id like to see Record of Lodoss war put up ;)

What kind of a series is My Hime then?

NameMy HiME ( Mai-HiME )Number of Episodes:26 |StatusComplete|

Description:
Tokiha Mai and her sickly younger brother, Takumi, have received a scholarship to attend the prestigious Fuuka Academy. On the way, the ferry they are travelling on becomes the site of a destructive battle between two girls wielding apparently supernatural powers. This is only the beginning of their troubles, as Mai learns that she herself possesses these powers - the powers of a HiME.

I would also recommend Prince of Tennis, its complete, but its *GASP* 178 Episodes long!!!! Its worth it though, its really well done.

Hunter X Hunter is another good series, and only 62 episodes complete!

If anyone knows where I can find Elfen Lied in direct download please let me know!

oh guru's of anime i bow to your wisdom:

I loved Gundum Wing, Outlaw Star, Big O...i like the slightly more serious ones over the outright comedic ones. Besides Escaflone is there any other good Mech ones? I don't really dig the other Gundum series, but I loved robotech growing up and I guess i'm tyring to find something oh the same vein.

Neon Genesis Evangalin is a good mech series.

Can't comment on it personally, but RahXephon (http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=14) is meant to be quite good.

Edit: Hunter X Hunter is up to 92 episodes with the OVAs, finishing up the Greed Island arc.

No one has seen Gilgamesh eh? =x

Grey, have you tried Gundam Seed Destiny?

Can you consider something that wasn't made in asia?

Or something heterosexual? Or would that be offensive to Talid?

I downloaded Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story on...Tuesday or Wednesday overnight in the hotel on my California trip. DVD format, very nice. A must-watch for any fan. Amazingly well leaked.

It's a decent story, but clearly influenced by Evengelion to the point where one is unlikely to have existed without the other. The ending is likewise nigh inscrutable, but it's worth a viewing.

Wtb FMA omb!!!

We also have Alias (not anime, but an acceptable substitute) available to us in some form ...Can you consider something that wasn't made in asia?Absolutely not!

I've always been a kind of amateur anime watcher. Video stores around here don't have much of it and I never knew enough to spend the money buying any from the what-seems-to-be-big-selection from Best Buy. I didn't want to waste $150 on some collection and have it suck.

Since I got on Netflix I've been getting a lot more of it. Evangelion is totally awesome and one of my favorites so far. I have a lot in my queue that people have recommended like Hellsing, Kite, Perfect Blue and Fullmetal Alchemist. These all look pretty good and I'll find out when they arrive.

Anyway, one I would recommend is the Berserk series. I'm only on like disc 2 but it is pretty sweet so far. What I didn't realize is that I have an old Dreamcast game called Sword of the Berserker: Guts' Rage that was based on the anime which came from the manga. Had that game for like 5 years, never played it and just now made the connection. I might play it now.

But anyway, the anime is pretty good. The main guy carries a sword as long as he is tall and I think they might have stolen this idea to make Cloud in FFVII. He is a loner but ends up getting owned by this girly guy who leads a badass mercenary band and then must join the band. His skills are immediately known and he becomes a powerful officer who is well respected in the group. Since I haven't seen it all yet I don't know much more but I think that after Guts and Griffith become tight, Guts gets betrayed and this ultimately sets the stage for where both of their lives take them.

Great so far.

the dude with the huge sword, does he wear a HUGE bead necklace...like the beads are huge, not necesarily the necklace? Or am i thinking of a different show?

My friend gave me a DIVX cds with Witch Hunter Robin (i think thats the name) I like it pretty cool.

I havent seen Gundaum Wing Destiny Seed...will have to try and find it.

I havent seen Gundaum Wing Destiny Seed...will have to try and find it.

Anime-Direct.com has it along with about 50-75 total series in high quality .AVI. Only catch is, its 10$ a month =/

Or you could try boxtorrents.com it is a BT site for Anime series.

Paying someone for hosting free fansubs is lame, even more so when they had nothing to do with the production of said fansub.

Bittorrent and IRC is really all you need to get all your anime needs,

AnimeSuki (http://www.animesuki.com/) for unlicensed.
Boxtorrents (http://www.boxtorrents.com/index.php) for licenesed.
AniDB (http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=main) to track down who subbed what and go to their website for torrent/IRC bot information.

If all that fails just use google or a torrent search engine like Defiant (http://defiant.ws/) to find them for you.

As for Gundam SEED Destiny -

Anime Kingdom & AnimeOne turned Haro^2 & Tori^2 episodes can be found on torrent here: 1-26 (http://www.boxtorrents.com/details.php?id=127820) and 21-40 (http://www.harotori.org/?p=index)+.

Or you could get SEED-Fansubs on torrent (http://seed.eatshoe.com/) or from their IRC bots (http://seed.eatshoe.com/bot).

I agree that paying for unlicenced subs sucks, but my computer at work doesn't allow me to install any programs so bittorent is out of the question. Therefore direct HTTP downloads are my only option. :P

the dude with the huge sword, does he wear a HUGE bead necklace...like the beads are huge, not necesarily the necklace? Or am i thinking of a different show?

Not that I recall so far. BUT, the first episode (which is really from the middle of the guy's life) has him fighting a baddie who has this weird necklace with one big bead. The bead is kind of like a face but the parts are all strewn about it in odd locations. Then when u get to episode 2 it goes back to when Guts is young and starting out. When he meets up with Griffith, Griffith is wearing a necklace with the same kind of bead/stone. He names it but I forget what they called it. This might not be what you are thinking of.

Rybit!!

Look at that buzzing with Alias thread and encoding/uploading thingies, what about the anime?? :)

Gibbor something!

Any chance of Last Exile? Heard very good things about this series.

Anyway, one I would recommend is the Berserk series. I'm only on like disc 2 but it is pretty sweet so far. What I didn't realize is that I have an old Dreamcast game called Sword of the Berserker: Guts' Rage that was based on the anime which came from the manga. Had that game for like 5 years, never played it and just now made the connection. I might play it now.

Go read the manga. The anime is only about 7ish volumes of a currently 25+ volume manga. It's just the 'origin' of the character. It's worth it just for the crazy ass artwork, but the story is excellent too, if a bit wierd.

The last episode of the series is quite... ahem.. negative.

Paying to download subs is mainly just for the convenience of being able to download 8 different episodes at the same time at 200k/b a sec each. Or a meg a sec for one. I'd never pay 10 bucks a month for it though.

It sure beats scrounging around the internet for high quality .AVIs on a server that isn't monopolized by people and downloading at 3kbps. /shrug

And they update and add series weekly =/

I figure it will take me about 2 more months to finish downloading all the series I want off of there, and then i'll cancel. So 30$ for 20 complete series is a pretty good deal to me.

I'm getting to it!! :) I'm just so busy with life after taking a 6-week sabbatical. Thanks for your understanding ^_^

Fix0rz me an upload page!

Waaah, me and Anterak just finished watching ep #20 of GitS:SAC 2nd Gig (even the abbreviation is long!) and panicked (well I did, he's back to playing WoW) when we realized that we didn't have the last 6 episodes! Were they ever uploaded to the server? Do they even exist in subbed form? I know that 21 and 22 do, but not if the rest do?

I'm freaking out here! :(

It would appear (http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=1176&showallag=1) that episode 22 is as far as any group has subbed it thus far, you'll just need to wait for them to finish off the rest of the series.

Robotech please... That should be a gimmie Rybit...

Woohoo, #23 of 2nd gig has been released now by LMF :D

Not sure about the quality of this as I can't find any information on the group that did it, but episode 24-26 of Ghost In The Shell S.A.C. 2nd GIG:

Episode 24 (http://datorrents.com/download.asp?id=1498&name=Ghost_in_the_shell_2nd_gig_24%5Bripped%20by%2 0HuH%5D.zip.torrent)
Episode 25 (http://datorrents.com/download.asp?id=1517&name=Ghost_in_the_shell_2nd_gig_25%5Bripped%20by%2 0HuH%5D.torrent)
Episode 26 (http://datorrents.com/download.asp?id=1518&name=Ghost_in_the_shell_2nd_gig_26%5Bripped%20by%2 0HuH%5D.torrent)

Edit:

Well im writing this since my release seem to confuse alot of people IM not the subber or have done the initial Raw.
Ive only encode this from Honk Kong DVD after some people ask me too because they were tired of waiting for LMF
(which i consider the best and i will continue to download their release) so YES quality is low for both sub and
image but at least you can know the end of it. while waiting for true release done by LMF. im sorry if i confuse you
with episode 23 thinking that i was the subber and all.

WTB FMA the Movie OMG http://ayonae.ro/images/smilies/frown.gif

WTb Transformers and GI Joe the movie

FRY (For Rybit Informations), I have all Samurai Champloo episodes (26) available for upload. 3.25gb for all of them.

And bumpity of course, we need new animes! :D

I've got all 26 My HiME episodes to upload too! If anyone has Elfen Lied let me know!

I have all of Hellsing, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop and the Ghost in the Shell: Innocence movie stored on my computer at this point in the time (as well as Ghost in the Shell first stand alone), plus a music video of Starian that somehow ended up in my music folder...I hesitate to think about how it ended up in there. : \ I'd like to see Evangelion though I've seen the series, and Vampire Hunter D because I've heard good things about it but have yet to find a working torrent of it yet.
