Re: Anime Banter

I do not mean to be annoying, but what is the worst thing that the series shows?

take it easy baby take it as it comes

Re: Anime Banter

Well in the original series, one of the episodes has Integra being subdued by a vampiress, and it gets a little bloody and inappropriate (opens her shirt, no real nudity).  That's about the only objectional thing, save for all the violence and blood.

The new series though, a vampire threatens to rape Seras Victoria (so she wouldn't become a vampiress when he bit her), and grabs her in a few places.  That's about the only scene there that makes me cringe.

Re: Anime Banter

Well, big issue is episode 5 of the original, I've only seen to episode 6 though.

Re: Anime Banter

Dang, I still haven't seen number 1 yet. I'm behind I guess. But all I've got to do is wait for volume 8 this year.
apart from that, I hope Hellsing: The Dawn makes it to America.
But to start the new conversation.

Re: Anime Banter

Anybody who gets cable TV, one of the upper channels (ill see if i can figure out which 1) has Hellsing on every now and then. If anyone wanted to know.

Good... Bad... I'm the one with the gun.

Re: Anime Banter

Yea, I just watched it online though, it was not the best anime ever done.
I mean, I liked the beginning, but then it started to get really wierd. But i guess that couldn't be helped, Hirano is a slow artist, they only had the first two mangas to use as a template.

Re: Anime Banter

It was kinda cool though, in a creepy sorta way. Like i said on the other topic, i only saw the part where the red coat guy (Alucard?) rips the arms off the blonde haired guy wit glasses.

Good... Bad... I'm the one with the gun.
Hail to the King Baby!!

Re: Anime Banter

Yea, it's Alucard(Dracula backwards although in kanji it's also pronounced Arucard). And the guy with glasses is Alexander the paladin Anderson

I couldn't watch the english version of it, Seras' voice was really annoying for some reason. Maybe it was just me.

Re: Anime Banter

You saw the english version of the new hellsing?
I've only seen the japanese w/subtitles...tell me...does Anderson have a good voice actor?  That's all I care about... wink

Re: Anime Banter

The one i heard, his voice sounded pretty good. But i really liked Alucard's.

Re: Anime Banter

You saw the old one...*sigh*...nobody else here's gotten ahold of the new one, apparently, besides myself.  It's good, except for two partsthat bother me (seras's dream and the vampire almost raping her), and it's still in Japanese...haven't found any english dubs yet.
Seras's voice bothers you?...it wasn't terrific, but in this world of horrible english voice-acting, it's pretty good.  (Have you seen Blood: the last vampire?  Great animation...but the voice acting is hideously, horribly awful).
I'm just hoping they find voice-actors as good as whoever did Anderson/Alucard in the original...to dub the new ones.  And hoping that you get a chance to see it Maltese, it's good stuff.

Re: Anime Banter

I haven't seen Blood, I might.
I don't know, it just did. Usually I like english voice dub when it isn't edited, it's just certain people I guess. Like Eureka Seven sounds better in English.

Re: Anime Banter

What's Eureka Seven about?  My friend has that...I don't know if I stole it from him or not...I just crammed as much anime as I could into my old computer to fill up the hard drives before I get my new comp big_smile, "Wolf's Rain" and "Ghost in the Shell"...haven't watched them yet, though.

Eureka Seven I think is a mecha-type anime (I have only seen one episode).

Re: Anime Banter

I'm not very good at explaining but you can watch it on youtube.

It's got fairly good animation, the voice acting is done rather well, and the plot is excellent albiet it takes a while to fully develop if you don't miss any episodes. unlike Gundam and Evangelion the mechs aren't the size of small sky scrapers, they're compact and at a believable scale.

Re: Anime Banter

Ah...I'll have to steal that sometime.  tongue
I'm watching something called "Wolfs Rain" right now...it's pretty good so far.  It's an apocalyptic world, surviving humans live in a giant, decaying city underneath a dome.  Wolves are apparently supernatural beings, they've been hunted to extinction by the humans...except for four, who can fool human eyes and masqerade as people...still haven't gotten far enough to tell, but seems pretty good.  I'll start on Ghost in the Shell later...you're a big fan of that right?  What's it like?

Re: Anime Banter

Ghost in the Shell, has it's ups and downs.  Mostly because of the main character's choice in clothing.
The first season focuses on an event called the Laughing Man incident that happened 3 years prior. The Laughing man an A rank hacker. Very deep storyline. Amazing art especially in the second season.
It relvolves mostly around the magor of Japan's Public Security Section 9 and her squad.

.It takes place in 2035, for example the main character has a full prosthetic body.
Would not reccomend either of the two movies they made though, especially if you read the mangas or tried to watch it in front of small children of parents.
I'd give the first season a 9/10 because of the magor/major's attire.

I started Wolf's rain near the end, didn't quite know what to think of it.

Re: Anime Banter

I just tuned that much out after a while, what annoyed me more were the tachikomas(think tanks). Although they have the little extra bits if you watch the dvd's with them that are funny.

Re: Anime Banter

I'll keep an eye out for it...*gasp* Hellsing Ultimate Episode 2 only FOUR days away...and after that, they finally get into the good stuff.
Episode 2 being about the Valentine brothers and all that...I think I'll go watch Episode 1 again...
Still hoping you find it Maltese...the Anderson fight is so much better in Ultimate.
