New Anime I'm Watching

[Purifier Unit 20XX]

I decided to look at anime in the nearest electronic entertainment store. I browsed for about 10 minutes or so, and came across the first volume of "Baccano!", which is about gangsters, robbers, and immortals in 1930's New York City. I had remembered watching a trailer for it on Anime News Network, and liking it, so I bought it.

Needless to say, I was delighted with the first 4 episodes contained within the first DVD. The dub was fantastic! Voices matched the characters perfectly. Baccanno is funny and serious art the same time. Though sometimes, you can loose your way with so many main characters, but you can get caught up very easily.

So when you get the chance, try to watch the first episode online (possibly episode 2 if you found episode 1 a little slow), or take my word and buy the first disc for $29 at your local retailer. This is a new anime, produced in July 2007.

Overall score: A

It looks like they don't like bandwidth stealers based on that pic.

Looks interesting. I think I will watch the first episode online. And the second.

And the third. Etc....

Changed name of topic. I don't wanna create anymore new topics.

Also, I'm currently watching Soul Eater on AnimeSeasons. I'd suggest anyone that has extra time this Easter Break or is even remotely interested check it out.

I've pretty much given up on watching anime online. I can't find a site that has all the episodes to whatever anime I want to watch. If I ever do find a site that has full series, they're always on the shittiest video player imaginable.

I haven't watched any new anime since Code Geass anyway. And the only anime I actually want to watch are series that I've already seen. (Gurren Lagann, Fullmetal, Eureka Seven, etc....)

Like Purifier said check out this place: www.animeseason.com/

I will. But did anyone else notice that Youtube is hosting the entire first seasons of Code Geass and Gundam 00? Wut?

If your looking for some anime to watch I would recommend three shows

1. Afro Samurai: Probably the anime that has the best English voice acting (Samuel L. Jackson) and also has some of the coolest fight scenes I’ve ever seen.
2. Full Metal Panic: A great anime that combines giant robot battles with comedy.
3. Outlaw Star: This is an old anime so I don’t know where you would find it but it has a really good story and is my favorite anime series.

1. I've been thinking about looking into that one.

2. Eh. I'm not in the mood for another mech anime. I just finished Gundam 00.

3. They probably have it on that site that Snake mentioned. It's not a problem for me, though. I own the box set.

The next anime I watch will probably be Baccano. Then I'm going to watch Gurren Lagann again.

If you're gonna watch Baccano! might I suggest watching the dub. They actually did a really good job on that.

Where can you find the dub?

I'm on the first episode right now. It's different from what I thought it would be.

To whom it may concern, I just found and watched one of the funniest animes I have ever seen. If you need a new anime to watch then check out School Rumble. It’s a romantic comedy that had me laughing throughout ever episode. There is a varied cast of characters that are all hilarious. I would recommend this anime to anyone and I have to say that it is one of the best anime I have ever watched. You can find the first season on hulu and you can find the second season on funimation’s website, all for free. At those places the episodes are dubbed but it has great voice acting and the voices fit the characters. Also if you watch it subbed then you’ll probable miss a couple of the jokes and I doubt it would be as enjoyable but School Rumble is a must see.
