I'm not against Tenchi, I think there's been some enjoyable stuff there, but I'll vote for RoLW...maybe not as well known on a wide scale but more essential viewing if you ask me.

TENCHI FOREVER!

RoLW

RoLW

Tenchi Muyo

RoLW

we have a new internet laugh upon us

Record of Lodoss War. One of my all-time favorites.

Tenchi Muyo - 3
Record of Lodoss War - 5

Very small turnout this time. I was kind of wanting to know how Ndi and rezo would vote. Shame on you guys for disappointing me.



Nadesico - Being a fry cook sounds like a pretty easy job, right? Being a cook on a state-of-the-art space battleship is a little more complicated, especially when you're being forced to double as a mecha pilot in a war against a civilization that modeled itself after your favorite cartoon. While it is a very quirky show, Nadesico's silliness is offset nicely by a surprisingly intriguing plot. Also covers a much more seriously-toned movie.

VS

Evangelion - As one of the most well-known anime ever, I suspect a description for this show isn't really needed. A rather mediocre and silly first half gives way to a very deeply philosophical, depressing, and often brutally violent second half that truly makes this show legendary. Also covers two movies: Death & Rebirth and End of Evangelion.

Just so you know and don't think i'm being lazy, I didn't list complete titles for either of these because the english and japanese titles are different.

I haven't seen enough of either to fairly judge but I'll vote Evangelion due to it giving way to some pretty awesome action figures.

IMOIMOIMOIMO

Evangelion was a classic show. I loved that so 1 vote for me

EVANGELION 4EVER!

I enjoyed Evangelion. However, I'm going to go with Nadesico, because I enjoyed it too, and it doesn't get the recognition that Eva does.

Nadesico!

Evangelion

Nadesico

Nadesico.

Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Evangelion

Nadesico - 4
Evangelion - 6

Oh well. I was really pulling for Nadesico.



Ayashi no Ceres - I honestly don't know much about this one. From what I can tell, it's something about a vengeful spirit being reborn in a girl named Aya, who has to keep it under control to keep it from destroying her family. If I'm wrong or left out a tremendously important detail, please point it out.

VS

El Hazard - This one I know pretty well. Makoto Mizuhara, a teacher named Fujisawa, his rival Jinnai, and Jinnai's sister Nanami are transported by a mysterious device to an alternate world called El Hazard. While Makoto, Fujisawa, and Nanami try to exist peacefully in their new world, Jinnai claims leadership over their enemies, a kingdom of giant bugs, and uncovers a weapon that could spell doom for the entire world. Covers two OAV series and two TV series.

I haven't seen El Hazard.

I've seen exactly one episode of Ayashi No Ceres.

They're both in my rental queue, though!

I seriously don't know which way to vote this time. =/

Ayashi no Ceres

I seriously don't know which way to vote this time. =/
Me neither, I have them both on DVD, but I don't really know which way to vote.

I ignored El Hazard when it was first coming out(is it worth tracking down?) here and Ayashi no Ceres is something I probably wouldn't see unless I happened to be with a group of people that were really intent on seeing it. So no vote!

Maybe they should both be eliminated, and something neat should be carried on to round two in its place!

IT WOULD CHANGE RUMBLES AS WE KNOW THEM FOREVER.

From what I've seen about Ayashi no Ceres, it's an extremely pretentious storyline--or the people that speak highly of it are pretentious, whatever. My vote goes to El Hazard just to spite those fans.

Since Odin can't post it for himself right now.

ALSO, Neat idea Ndi! Can't do it if any votes are cast though. Too bad.

i vote for niether. neve seen neither. barely heard of either. bleh. not even interested in finding out.

El Hazard.

el hazard

Dude are you kidding? El Hazard for the win. It's SUCH a good fuckin show.

I will add to the El Hazard bandwagon

Yep. I vote for El Hazard as well. Ayashi's just better in graphics.

Dude are you kidding? El Hazard for the win. It's SUCH a good fuckin show.

As a brad groupie, I am now obligated to vote for El Hazard.

El Hazard

Ayashi no Ceres - 1
El Hazard - 8

Quite a few abstentions this time around.



Spriggan - For the most part, Spriggan is a standard action flick. It's loud and pretty, but doesn't have much substance beyond that. Then again, it probably has everything action junkies care about. In short, a secret organization called ARCAM has found Noah's Ark and must defend it against evil cyborgs working for a rogue branch of the U.S. military.

VS

R.O.D. - A lot of people are instantly turned off by the title--Read or Die--but they wind up missing out on a very engaging show that manages a near-perfect balance of character-driven storytelling and over-the-top action. The original OAV series centers around Yomiko Readman, a shy bookworm who uses her power to manipulate paper as an agent for the British Library. The TV series that followed (called "R.O.D the TV" or "Read or Dream") centered around three "sisters" with similar abilities and expanded the ongoing story to truly epic proportions.

omgomgomg. this one would ALMOST be too hard to vote. cause i liked spriggan a lot. but i'm definatley going for rod. i even have a few chapters of this spinoff manga. (extra adventures regarding the three sisters). i think it was called read or dream. i still havent even read it. but i got it saved.

so my vote goes for ROD.

R.O.D. No question. Not only is it sexy as hell, but Spriggan is just too vapid and cliched to enjoy too much.

I've only seen the ova, but R.O.D.

I'm gonna go for R.O.D as it was alot more interesting and imaginative.

R.O.D

R.O.D.

ALL ABOARD THE BANDWAGON.

Read or Die. The first half of the TV series was so good.

Revolutionary Girl Utena - Utena is a girl whose dream is to become a prince. To that end, she goes to a strange school in search of the "prince" who once helped her, meets a lot of very strange people, competes in a series of strange sword duels, and gets herself engaged to a strange girl called the Rose Bride. Very odd show. The movie (an alternate retelling) is even weirder. Good stuff though!

VS

Inu Yasha - A reincarnated priestess is sent back in time to feudal Japan, where she meets a demon her former self imprisoned and sets off on a journey with him to find all the shards of a sacred jewel. Of course, they're mostly held by evil creatures who are made stronger by the gem, which makes for a very monster-of-the-week type of formula. Absurdly long and repetitive, but it has an ungodly legion of rabid fans. Includes several movies.

Utena

^seconded, I vote Utena also

Utena

Inuyasha is overrated so definitely Utena.

Utena, because Inu Yasha blows.

whatever isn't inuyasha

Utena

Utena

Utena

Inuyasha be gettin spanked

Yeah. Utena.

Pretty hilarious that Inuyasha is going down like this!

seen utena the movie. yes, wierd indeed. but thanks to praks short description, it makes a hell of a lot more sense. (i swear, that movie left me more confused than lain+flcl combined while intoxicated)

however. inu-yasha did manage to keep me coming back for more for at least over a dozen episodes. any anime that makes me want to see more, is a good anime imo. so i'll go for inu-yasha.

Inu Yasha.

seen utena the movie. yes, wierd indeed. but thanks to praks short description, it makes a hell of a lot more sense. (i swear, that movie left me more confused than lain+flcl combined while intoxicated)

I know what you mean. I had to watch it five times to figure it out!

And I'm still not sure I'm totally right about it.

I know what you mean. I had to watch it five times to figure it out!

And I'm still not sure I'm totally right about it.

The Utena movie doesn't really seperate from reality and from what's going on in the minds and dreams of the characters.

Animerica Extra had an interview with the creator about it, and it really helped it come together for me.

Maybe you can upload some scans of that interview or something. ;)

Rev. Girl Utena

Revolutionary Girl Utena - 12

I figured Inu Yasha would get beaten this time around, but I never dreamed it would be that big a loss.




Grave of the Fireflies - One of Studio Ghibli's most highly rated works, GotF recounts the trials of a pair of orphans as they struggle to survive after losing their mother in the wake of an American bombing during the final days of WWII.

VS

Saiyuki - In a very loosely adapted version of the Journey to the West legend, a rogue priest named Genjo Sanzo leads a small group of demons (Son Goku, Sha Gojyo, and Cho Hakkai) against other demons intent on releasing an ultimate evil. Covers three tv series', one movie, and an OAV.

Grave of the Fireflies is excellent. I've never seen Sayuki, but it looks like a bishie fest. ; ;

Grave of the Fireflies is excellent.

BUT NOT SAIYUKI EXCELLENT.



just kidding grave of the fireflies

BUT NOT SAIYUKI EXCELLENT.

Grave of the Fireflies, purely because of the AMV I watched.

Grave of the Fireflies

Grave of the Fireflies. Come on man. Saiyuki? Are you fucking kidding me?!

I wish I was kidding since Saiyuki is pretty bad, IMO, but it has enough fans to justify a spot on the list. So show your disdain for it by voting to eliminate it with extreme prejudice!

Well there goes one of my favorite anime/mangas out of the competition.

Grave of the Fireflies

Grave of the Fireflies, easily. It had such a nice/touching story.

Grave of the Fireflies - 10
Saiyuki - 1

No shock there. Saiyuki has its fans, but it doesn't seem too popular around here.




Vampire Princess Miyu - This is something of a rarity since quality occult shows seem to be in short supply. In short, Miyu is a vampire who appears to be 13 years old. Tasked with hunting the Shinma (demons) who plague the earth, she brings hope and happiness to humans, but remains isolated and tormented by the knowledge of what she is. Covers a short OAV series and a full-length tv series.

VS

Akira - Even the most casual of anime fans has probably seen Akira, although opinions on it vary pretty wildly. In the wake of World War III, Neo-Tokyo is practically ruled by gangs who battle constantly against the corrupt and ineffective government. Amidst the chaos, a motorcycle gang gets caught up in an incident involving a kid with psychic abilities, leading to one of them being experimented on and gaining powerful psychic abilities of his own, which he subsequently uses to take revenge on all of society.

I enjoyed Vampire Princess Miyu when I saw it (I've only seen the ova!), but I've never really felt compelled to watch it again.

I've seen Akira oodles of times, and I will probably watch it oodles more times, so I guess it gets my vote just for that.

Also: when I was a lot younger, I saw some of Akira on the Sci-Fi channel, and it disturbed me to the point of tears.

akira for sure. theres nothing like a teenager gaining special powers and using it to get back at poeple. fucking ownz. every teens fantasy imo. so its awesome seeing with your own eyes and not just dreaming it.

Akira.

KANEDA!!!!

Eh... Akira :D

TETSOU!!!
Akira all the way.

Akira

AKIRA for the win. Despite it's somewhat cliche popularity, it is still a damn good movie, and well ahead of it's time. It was one of the first anime films I saw many years back, and it remains a favorite to this day.

Akira
Madman dub.

Akira, though I expected even more of it.

Akira, no real comparison between it and a derivative vampire anime.

Vampire Princess Miyu - 1

No shock there, but I really feel like people are underrating Miyu a bit.




Excel Saga - In the touching story of a hyperactive lunatic in love with a megalomaniacal would-be world conquerer operating out of a sewer, Excel Excel will brave any danger and make any tasteless joke. Along with her partner, Hyatt, who has a bad habit of dying every few minutes, she battles against the plots of a secret government organization and evil (but terribly cute) creatures from outer space, as well as the escape attempts of her dog/emergency food supply. Nothing is safe from parody in this off-the-wall show.

VS

Gatchaman - To combat the evils of the terrorist organization Galactor, a prominent scientist assembles the Science Ninja Team and equips them with hi-tech weaponry and bird-themed costumes. Also known as Battle of the Planets and G-Force, Gatchaman was one of the earliest shows of its type and defined many of the elements that have now become cliche in this type of show.

Excel Saga plz

Although I'm sure Excel Saga will win this one, I definitely have to go with Gatchaman. I'm a fan of classic series, and this is one show that I really loved when I was young (most people know it by the name "Battle of the Planets" or "G-Force"). It had all the elements of an awesome show, and is still loved by millions.

Plus, I just think Excel Saga is really overrated.

Battle of the Planets for the win!

P.S. This is a vote for Gatchaman.

G-Force!!! yah!

Although I'm sure Excel Saga will win this one

Don't be so sure of that. The classics have been doing pretty well.

Gatchaman. Cos old school DOOM modification and all.

Excell saga
japanese voice actress who does Excell should win an oscar r sumthin

I liked the noses!

Excel Saga

Excel Saga for me.

Gatchaman!

Excel Saga - 7
Gatchaman - 8

Really close one there, but even the Great Will of the Macrocosm isn't gonna bring Excel back this time.




His and Her Circumstances (Kare Kano) - Yukino Miyazawa and Soichiro Arima are both model students with secrets. Miyazawa is a really an odd duck who only pretends to be perfect because she likes the attention, while Arima does it for the sake of his parents and to repress his own darker nature. When the two fall in love, they decide to remove their masks and be themselves. Sort of.

VS

Escaflowne - A high school student named Hitomi is transported to a magical world called Gaea, where she becomes involved in a prince's quest to defeat an evil empire in hopes of finding a way home, aided by a group of comrades and a powerful mech called Escaflowne. Also covers an ultra-condensed movie version of the story.

Escaflowne

Escaflowne

Escaflowne

escaflowne, because the other one sounds horrific.

Escaflowne
Kare Kano is fun tho, sad Gainax didnt got to finish it

Kare Kano, Escaflowne is one bad show in my opinion.

I'll agree with chorns, even though that'll only count two against Escaflowne..but that show had it's originalities suffering compared to it's refinement of the whole medieval fantasy idea..and yet..i have only heard of Kare Kano it get's another solid vote

uh....compared to these two...can i go g-force again. rofl. fuck em both. i ain't voting this round.

Gotta go with Escaflowne this time. I really like Kare Kano quite a bit, but in terms of shows that really engrossed me, Escaflowne definitely stands up there.

kare kano

Saw them a long time ago and am not really big on either... now.

<B>Kare Kano, simply because I remember more about it then I do Escaflowne.

I wasn't happy with the way either of them ended, though.

Escaflowne

Kare Kano

Kare Kano

Kare Kano

Escaclown puts people to sleep, thus I vote Kare Kano

Extraflonase--erm, Escaflowne.

Cos the other one sounds like utter shit, but that's probably because Prak didn't describe it very well!

Kare Kano - 8
Escaflowne - 8

So the rumble sees its first tie. My opinion finally counts for something! I've only ever seen the Escaflowne movie and utterly detested it, although I've wanted to see the series for a while now. However, I have seen Kare Kano in its entirety and it ranks pretty high on my list of favorites. Thus, Kare Kano takes my vote and the win.




X - Kamui Shiro has the power to determine the outcome of a war between the Dragons of Earth and the Dragons of Heaven, as well as the fate of all humanity. Unfortunately, his friend Fuuma is fated to become his opposite and support the other side, meaning that they must eventually fight one another with the destiny of mankind in the balance. Covers the original movie, as well as a tv remake.

VS

Spirited Away - One of Studio Ghibli's most well-known works. When an unsuspecting family stumbles into what they believe to be an abandoned theme park but is in reality a resort for spirits, the parents make the mistake of eating the food intended for the resort's patrons and are turned into pigs as punishment. This leaves their young daughter, Chihiro, all alone with nothing more than her wits and a few new friends to rely on as she tries to break the curse.

Escaflowne movie is quite different than the series. I didn't really like the movie either but enjoyed the series when I first saw it. Anyways, Spirited Away.

X because I have seen neither and it sounds interesting. Also I'm pretty sure it'll be a blowout for Spirited Away anyway.

X, because I am in crazy clamp fangirl mode lately!

BUT MY VOTE DOES NOT COUNT THE X MOVIE. JUST FOR THE RECORD. I AM NOT VOTING FOR THAT.

Dude Spirited Away FTW. It might not really be high on my list of Ghibli films, but I still like it more than X. I typically love Clamp's stuff, but X just never did it for me whatsoever).

And while I'm obviously late in saying this, the Escaflowne movie FUCKING BLOWS. The series on the other hand is excellent.

X was alot better personally. Good ol classic anime...

Very tight battle early on, but a string of votes sealed Spirited Away's victory. Also, this one was a bitch to count. Thanks a lot, people.



Cardcaptor Sakura - After accidentally releasing dozens of magical cards upon the world, each of them a sentient creature, Sakura Kinomoto is given magical powers by the guardian of the Clow Cards and tasked with rounding them all up to prevent a catastrophe. Also includes two movie sequels.

VS

Orphen - A prodigious student of a prestigious school of magic sets off on a journey in search of an infamous dragon called Bloody August. Strangely enough, he isn't trying to destroy the beast, but save it. Covers two seasons.

cardcaptor sakura.. to avoid ndi's wrath.

Cardcaptor Sakura

Cardcaptor Sakura has one thing going for it in my opinion...it's dub features the only performance Matt Hill has ever given where his voice didn't ANNOY THE FUCK OUT OF ME.

I guess I'll vote for it!

CCS. Only because the theme song is goofy and I used to always play it on Beatmania.

By the way, I fixed the list (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showpost.php?p=485264&postcount=5) to make it easier to read and keep track of what's still in the running.

Cardcaptor sakura

Cardcaptor Sakura, to make up for voting against Mandi last round <3

Orphen, scion of sorcery

Gundam - One of the most recognizable names in anime, the Gundam franchise practically defines the "realistic" mecha genre. Over its nearly-30-year history, it has covered several distinct timelines in a vast number of series/movies. Although the franchise's quality has wavered occasionally, it always comes back for another round. I'm not even going to try listing the various entries for this one.

VS

Pokemon - Speaking of recognizable... If you don't know what a pikachu is, you've been living in a cave for the past decade. The premise is simple. Kids run around capturing strange (and often adorable) animals, training them for battle, and pitting them against other creatures for defense or in competition. Tons of episodes, but I'm not familiar with it beyond the first arc.

Two very familiar names this time, but Pokemon will have its work cut out for it (even with its overwhelming cuteness!) to take down a legend like Gundam.

Pokemon Gotta Em all:)

Pokemon can't top Gundam, even with the awesome Japanese intro(not the crappy American one)...Gundam will always be good in my book.

I'm voting for Gundam. Everything carrying the Gundam name has not always been the best, but I still feel it is far, far better than Pokemon could ever hope to be.

Plus, as a "giant robot" fan, it'd be blasphemous of me to vote against a source of so many beautiful designs.

All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku - When Ryonosuke's cat dies, his scientist father brings it back to life by implanting its brain into an experimental android modeled after a teenage girl. Now instead of merely being a pet, Nuku Nuku serves as a bodyguard for the family, defending them against the plots of Ryonosuke's mother, who wants to take him back from his father and capture the android for her weapons company. Covers two OVA series' and one tv series.

VS

Noir - The lives of two young women are joined by a pocket watch and a familiar haunting melody. Both Kirika and Mirielle are top-notch assassins, but Kirika has no memory of her past and the origin of her skills. The two begin calling themselves Noir and set about the bloody task of uncovering the mysteries of their past, as well as their connection to one another, hampered by the machinations of an ancient secret society that wants them both dead.

Sailor Moon - Usagi Tsukino and friends battle the forces of evil as the Sailor Soldiers. I'd consider this to be the quintessential magical girl series, but let's do outselves a favor and forget the english version ever happened. Covers five seasons of the tv series and 3 movies.

VS

Lupin III - Master thief Arsene Lupin III pulls off some of the most daring robberies in history, aided by his friends and hounded by the tireless Inspector Zenigata. There's more continuity here than I can count, covering quite a few movies, tons of OAVs, several tv series', and other appearances.

Very seldom has Lupin III failed to interest and entertain me. Also, since so many creators that have touched the property over the years it now has a bit of the "something for everyone" syndrome, even for Miyazaki flunkies with the first television series and the amazing film Castle of Cagliostro. Lupin surely gets my vote.

Sailor Moon, the last of the four big ones everyone's heard of, them being; Dragonball, Sailor Moon, Pocket Monsters, and Gundam. I never did like Lupin III all that much.

Lupin III

Lupin III

I'm figuring Lupin is going to win anyways, so I'll vote Sailor Moon, for sentimental reasons.

Plus live action sailor moon is pretty much the greatest thing ever!

Lupin III's theme song is really really good so I think it wins in this battle.

Lupin


Lupin III's theme song is really really good so I think it wins in this battle.

I agree

I surely hope Lupin III will win on this one. It's one of my all time favorites ^_^. And I also agree that it has a nice theme song!

i see prak was so dissappointed with Noir's passing he failed to write a blurb.


that beng said.. fucking Lupin the III all the way.

i see prak was so dissappointed with Noir's passing he failed to write a blurb.

I might have voted for Noir, except I never saw any of All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku on account of I tend to not watch anime with title's like All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku.
