Haha Prak you totally called it :D

Captain Harlock

I really don't get why people loved the new appleseed movie so much. =/

Pretty graphics.

I'd bet the same people loved the Gundam Wing movie when it came out.

I was going to get the new DBZ movie ( Bio Brolly) but for some reason a sludge brolly is not appealing at all. But how is Applesead. It looks interesting but I don't want to waste money if it sucks.

Pretty graphics.

I'd bet the same people loved the Gundam Wing movie when it came out.


hey. i'm voting for the old one! i haven't even seen the new one.


*pouts*
and wutz wrong with gundam wing movie
*/pouts*

:p

Captain Harlock - 7
Appleseed - 1

I hope the count is accurate, but it's pretty decisive even if I counted wrong.




Record of Lodoss War - If there's a quintessential fantasy series, it's hard to imagine it being anything other than this. RoLW follows a band of heroes who seem to be ripped straight out of a hardcore AD&D game on their quest to save the Isle of Lodoss from destruction. Although the original OAV is more well-known, the tv series, Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, upholds the same standards of quality and follows the source material much more closely.

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, whether it's in a good way or bad. Also covers two movies: Death & Rebirth and End of Evangelion.


I have a feeling counting this time is going to be a pain... Anyway, my vote goes to Record of Lodoss War.

I'm going to have to go with Lodoss war as well.

I'm going to have to go with Lodoss war as well.

evangelion

JUST TO BE A DICK. i hate you prak.

Record of Lodoss War. I usually vote for the mecha shows, but not this time!

Evangelion

Evangelion

Record of Lodoss War ftw.

its like "whatever prak says..goes". lol yah right. pfft.


eva!!!!!!

NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, MOTHER FUCKERS!

Never saw RoLW, premise just didn't appeal to me at all.

Not at all.

Neon Genesis Evangelion - stayed at the top of my 'favourite anime' list for a LONG time, before Full Metal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin and Samurai Champloo came a knockin'.

Evangelion

nether seen any but it's gonna have to be evangelion

two of my favourites but i choose Lodoss

its like "whatever prak says..goes". lol yah right. pfft.


With only two choices, it's rather inevitable that someone is going to agree with him. Also, if you take notice, not everyone has agreed with him by any means!

Well, I haven't seen Record of Lodoss War :(

I liked Neon Genesis Evangelion a little bit anyways.

So I guess I'll vote for Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I'm going to have to go with Lodoss war as well.

With only two choices, it's rather inevitable that someone is going to agree with him. Also, if you take notice, not everyone has agreed with him by any means!


i mean every post before my own. it totally made me think that's what was going on. but things are turning around now. :)

haven't seen Lodoss but i'm voting for it because it sounds like an original series and makes me think of Macross, both of which are more venerable than pop culture Eva.

Record of Lodoss War

Record of Lodoss War - 9
Evangelion - 9

Oh crap, a tie. Now I have to figure percentages. :(
Lodoss 5/8 = 62.5%
Evangelion 6/10 = 60%

Record of Lodoss War squeaks past by a mere 2.5%. I figured this was going to be a tight contest, but I never expected it to be that close.




El Hazard - 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, one of which was a remake of the original OAV series.

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.


Pretty clear choice for me this time. The first half of the R.O.D. tv series alone makes it worth voting for over almost anything.

I still haven't seen R.O.D. tv!

But the OAV is good enough to get R.O.D. my vote.

ROD.

I SAW YOUR POST BEFORE THE EDIT, REZO.

Yeah, I figured I mentioned having problems with the second half enough times before so I cut it out.

not seen either but i guess it will have to be r.o.d.

i've seen all of rod. including the ova. loved it, loved it, loved it!

R.O.D.

i always thought read or dream was a spinoff after everything that happend in the tv series centered around the 3 sisters. the tv series seemed more around yomiko's best friend writer girl...the author and shiz.

i've seen read or dream only in manga form.

The manga only covers a piece of the whole story, from what I understand. The entire thing is based off a series of novels, so it can be rather tricky figuring out what order it all goes in without those.

whatever prak didn't vote for

R.O.D

Abstaining, cos don't like either.

R.O.D

R.O.D.

R.O.D.

El Hazard - 1
R.O.D. - 9

Woulda been a blowout if not for ashin being pissed at me for some weird reason. I think I'll start withholding my vote for when I close the round. =/




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

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.

Grave of the Fireflies

Grave of the Fireflies

GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES, MOTHER FUCKERS.

Cos Utena fucking blows.

GOtF

Grave of the Fireflies.

I'll be the lone Utena voter, I guess!

No you won't, I vote for Utena too.

No you won't, Utena.


she isn't called Utena she is called Ndi.

Grave of the Fireflies

whatever prak doesn't vote for.

yah. havne't seen grave of the fireflies but utena does blow.

my vote. grave.

I'll put in one final Utena vote as a farewell salute on its way out. Ashin doesn't get his vote counted because he didn't actually vote for one or the other. I don't mind spite votes, but NOT EVERY ROUND.

Grave of the Fireflies - 7
Revolutionary Girl Utena - 3




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.

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.

Akira

akira

GATCHAMAN.

AKIRA IS FOR FRUITS.

If it was the Akira manga, then I would vote for it, but since this is the anime rumble, I'll have to go with Gatchaman instead

GATCHAMAN MOTHER FUCKERS.

Gatchaman

A K I R A YOU CUNTS!

Akira

Gatchaman.

I hate Gatchaman, so, by default, Akira.

Akira was the first anime movie I ever saw - not the best, but worth a vote for nostalgia's sake!

Akira

As I can't stand Akira, my vote goes to Gatchaman, although it doesn't change the outcome any at all.

Akira - 7
Gatchaman - 6




His and Her Circumstances (Kare Kano) - One of Gainax's more bizarre works, Kare Kano is about a pair of model students who are idolized by everyone they encounter. Beneath the surface, Yukino is a spoiled and arrogant "queen of vanity" who thrives on the adoration of others, while Soichiro strives to be perfect for the sake of his family and to set himself apart from the parents who abandoned him. After meeting and falling in love, the two decide to be true to themselves, but find it isn't so easy.

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.

Spirited Away

Spirited away? Yes please.

Spirited Away

As I can't stand Akira, my vote goes to Gatchaman, although it doesn't change the outcome any at all.


I almost voted for Gatchaman... before deciding not to vote at all. ah well

spirited away I guess.

spirited away I guess.

spirited away

Spirited Away.

I'm gonna say Kare Kano cause Spirited Away didn't impress me all that much.

Spirited away, hands down

once I watched Spirited Away twice in 12 hours, 'cause I watched it for the first time before going to sleep, woke up, and was bored so I watched it again. True story.

Spirited Away made me happy inside

Geez I forgot about this thread for a while!

I'll vote Spirited Away. If it were up against something else, maybe not though.

I'll vote for Spirited Away.

I thought Spirited Away was pretty highly overrated. I enjoyed it and all, but I liked Kare Kano a lot more.

Kare Kano - 2
Spirited Away - 12




Card Captor 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

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.

I can see the battle lines being drawn already. Brother will be set against brother (or sister, more likely) and the Shrine will be rent asunder by the terrible conflict. Or not. I'll vote Gundam, although it pains me to vote against the only remaining Clamp show in the rumble.

Both of them are pretty average, but I have to give Gundam points for an interesting idea (just not pulled off terribly well)

oh

i see prak is voting again~

card captor sakura

Cardcaptor Sakura

COMPLETELY NON AVERAGE BY THE WAY

ccs ^^

gundam

HOLY SHIT THIS WAS A HARD DECISION, anyway Gundam tops Card Captor Sakura.

CC Sakura

Gundam

GUNDAM, MOTHER FUCKERS.

GOD DAMNIT!

Gundam, obviously..

Gundam, I liked it but, I'll go with card captor Sakura.

Card Captor Sakura.

ccs cause sarah told me to

oh wow. more ccs fans that i could even imagine. sux. now i know which shoujo guys will admit to liking. and here i thought sm was the only one. at least the only one i'll admit to. lol


i'm going for gundam cause that show entertainmed me more than ccs ever could. yah. that's right. i voted based on ENTERTAINMENT value, not secret love fantasies. you damn sickos. :p


even though i do fantasize of kikcing ass with my own gundam. oh yah. the sweetness. *jizzes*

I vote for my favourite anime ever - Card Captor Sakura.

... ?_?

LOOK IF TOMOYO AND SAKURA HOLDING HANDS DOESN'T ENTERTAIN YOU YOU NEED TO REASSESS WHAT YOU FIND ENTERTAINING ; ;

Not everyone is a dyke, yo.

Card Captor Sakura BECAUSE SUPER AWESEME FUN TIME.

Card Captor Sakura

<3

Card captors!!
A mystic adventure
Card captors
A quest for all time

i forgot the rest of the theme tune but that show was super good!

brand new love song

hally halleluah

ccs

NDI QUIT IT

ndi or ndi? ^^

Ok I decided to vote for Gundam, as it'll still be losing regardless, thus I get to please myself and the tyrannical CCS crew can remain comfortable.

Card Captor Sakura. ;O

Gundam

Gundam.

i like gundam wing but card captors is lots of cute ??????????

WEN I NEED A FIX, I MEEN

ndi or ndi? ^^

BOTH

Card Captor Sakura

GUNDAM, MOTHER FUCKERS.

GOD DAMNIT!
you know you can step off my gimmick now, thanks.

Bigger font + God Damnit = my gimmick.

So there.

CCSSSSS

Because of longstanding fetishes that surfaced on the channel.
>_>

Many milennia ago.



Many.


I know you're out there ArchAngel!!

BIGGER FONT in general, was done firstly by ME!!!

the added motherfuckers or anything else, that was someone else. i can prove it! let me go look at one of my very earlier posts.


ok. i was wrong. rezo was the very first one to use large fonts.

i was the second. with the added word "4EVER" at the end.

i wouldn't know who started the motherfuckers one.

let me keep looking to see who started the large font + red text!!

still looking. but i saw myself using "large font + 4EVER" again. makes me all unique and shit. all cool....yah..i'm cool. lol


ok found it. pp (pinaple princess) used red text. but no "motherfucker". let me keep looking for the originator of that one.


still looking. logged myself using "4ever" for the fourth time. oh yah. now no one can use that and say i didn't start it. haha! i always wanted to be the guy that started "something" catchy. i hope it catches. lol

wow. 6 times me using 4ever. i rule. lol still can't find motherfuckers yet.


ok. wow. i'm on page 17, (using my setting of 30 post per page [or was it 40..]) post number 503 and still can't find large font +mother fucker.

but i did find the first use of large font + the word "fucking". that was none other than ME!! WEE. i started it all. i rule! you all copied me. haha.

still looking for red text though. :-/



FOUND IT. the king/queen (don't know lol) of LARGE RED FONT + MOTHERFUCKER is indeed, PP. yay. i'm tired now. not gonna go find + god dammit, ill take odin's word for it. im sure we all do too. :p


anyway. to recap.

large font (in general) = rezo

large font + (a word/name) namely "4ever" = me (tact)

large RED font = PP

large RED font + motherfucker = PP

large font + god dammit = odin



i think i also get award for most useless post so far. :D

card captor sakura.

Apologies for the late update. My internet at home was down yesterday. Also, Yui, check your PM box.

Card Captor Sakura - 16
Gundam - 13

Looks like poor Gundam just couldn't get a break. First a tough draw against Pokemon and now this. I just hope no votes got altered by an overzealous mod or admin!




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

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.

Lupin.

for castle of cagliostro.

and nobody altered anyone's votes. o_O

Someone claimed otherwise! Not that I think you did or anything.

Lupin

Someone claimed otherwise! Not that I think you did or anything.

She wouldn't. but someone else would

lupin.

omg. definately lupin. the seasons' they showed on AS were so damn enjoyable. inspired me to make a series of sigs. never seen the movie though. i just want to see if i can own all the seasons.

Lupin

Lupin.

Lupin.

for castle of cagliostro.

There is no contest here.

Lupin, ftw.

Nuku Nuku only because I've never seen Lupin and by first impression it looks like Cowboy Bebop with jazz and junk also like Samurai Champloo...even though it's action sequences on the disc covers look like Outlaw Star, Nuku Nuku looks more recent and pleasable like Please, Teacher.

my vote=Nuku Nuku (just for clarification since my comment is supporting both shows..)

Talk about voting for the right show for all the wrong reasons!

Sakura beat Gundam? How silly.

Nuku Nuku out of spite.

Lupin III

With my own vote going to Nuku Nuku, that brings the totals to:

Lupin - 9
Nuku Nuku - 3

No shock, but I really don't see what the fuss is about Lupin.




Trigun - Life isn't exactly easy for Vash the Stampede, what with having a $$60,000,000,000 price on his head and being considered the most dangerous man alive, known far and wide for leaving entire cities in ruins. In reality, he's a perfectly nice guy who binges on donuts, cries a lot, and generally acts like a fool. Underneath the carefree exterior, however, is a gunman of unrivaled skill whose aim is so precise that although he's never lost in a gunfight, he's never killed anyone either.

VS

Ranma 1/2 - 15 year old martial artist Ranma Saotome returns from a trip to China with a strange curse that turns him into a girl every time he's splashed with cold water and only hot water can turn him back. Upon his return to Japan, he receives the added complications of his engagement to Akane Tendo, which was arranged by their parents, and his regular battles against an outrageous cast of misfits. Covers seven seasons of the tv series, an OVA series, and two (or is it three?) movies.

Trigun's one of my favorites, and I'd probably have to say that I'm a bigger fan of Trigun then I am of Ranma 1/2, but I'm going with the latter, because I think it's the better show out of the two. :)

Ranma.

oh crap. that's a hard one for me. and i've only seen the first 8 eps of ranma and all of trigun. and i still can't decide.

i might as well go for ranma since i love free titty shots. :D

I'l go with Ranma

Ranma 'cause I really don't like Trigun.

ranma 1/2

Ranma 1/2, Trigun seemed like they tried too hard with the humor aspect..

Ranma 1/2, I hate Trigun, too overexposed by now.

Trigun

I be voting for Trigun seeing as how upon viewing it I was a total Trigun fag. It was one of the first full anime series I saw and bought on my own a good while back...it's all about nostalgia bitch. I'm also quite fond of Tsuneo Imahori's soundtrack. Ranma is great, is looking to win, and it deserves to, but I was never a TOTAL RANMA FAG so nyeh, going to throw ol' Vash a bone.


Mrow

Tri Gun
i dont like Ranma

You don't like free tittie shots? Huh, most guys I know do.

I'll go with Trigun since it's going to lose anyways.

for anyone who happens to be undecided..

http://www.squirrel.com/mooncat/pics/sci-fi-pics/ranma_moviecard1.gif


don't make me get my "other" pics either. so vote right the first time!

Ranma 1/2, I hate Trigun, too overexposed by now.

Overexposed? How is that even relevant?

I prefer Trigun.

And one last Trigun vote from me makes it:

Trigun - 6
Ranma 1/2 - 8

Trigun had momentum toward the end, but not enough time to follow through.




Hellsing - The Hellsing organization has long battled against the undead in Great Britain, keeping their crusade hidden from the eyes of the populace. However, even with the assistance of the vampires Alucard and Seras Victoria, the war now threatens to spill out into the streets as artificially created "Freak" vampires begin appearing. Combined with the threat of a semi-psychotic paladin from the Vatican, it's not a great time to be a Protestant knight. With a new series slated for release this December, Hellsing looks poised to become a hot property again.

VS

Wings of Honneamise - The tale of an alien race's first steps into space. The Royal Space Force is an underfunded agency that's viewed as nothing more than a joke by the rest of the nation. However, the government they serve has found another use for them: bait to start a war with another country. Now they must race against time to complete their launch in order to prevent the conflict.


This is the last match of Round 2. Round 3 may be a little late to begin since a certain person I contacted about something special I have planned never replied. Anyway, since I know ashin is voting opposite me anyway and I don't have to worry about a spite vote, I'm going to put in the first vote for Wings of Honneamise.

Wings of Honneamise



Because it was probably the first real anime i ever saw, believe it or not. And even to this day i`m still in love with it. I had to check the name but yup, that`s it. ;)

I can't stand Hellsing. Wings of Honneamise.

Ashin bought my love in the CCS round. <3

Hellsing.

Hellsing

Wings

Wings

Overexposed? How is that even relevant?

I prefer Trigun.
I meant in Korea, he's extremely overexposed, and I want to read something that not everybody is reading personally. Anyways, Wings.

but whether or not it is popular shouldn't affect whatever you think of something. :/

yah. otherwise, you'd be part of a popular group of people known as the "unpopulars" who make every effort to "like" things only if nobody else likes them. studies show, over 1 million people follow this "lifestyle". welcome to the club, Mr.Unique. ;) heres your "i'm diffrent" pin. wear it with pride.



:p anyway...



HELLSING 4EVER!!!

but whether or not it is popular shouldn't affect whatever you think of something. :/
Yeah, but I've found that most popular anime is actually only decent and not good to me. That and I didn't really get why everybody likes it, it's a boring series to me.

Taste is all it is then...Wings for me please.

Hellsing, once again.

Wings of Honneamise.

Honneamise for me

wings voters can suck a donkey cock.


HELLSING, MOTHERFUCKERS!

Hellsing^^
i have never seen wing... :-S
but nothing beats FMA or NOIR ;)

Hellsing^^
i have never seen wing... :-S
but nothing beats FMA or NOIR ;)

oh jeez you gotta be kidding me on noir. -_-


wait wait. i keep forgetting. all i saw was the first dvd. i think it sucked majorly. but gotta remember, theres more dvd's to the story...must try to...feel.....some sort of....non-hate.

IT SUX. :p



i vote hellsing again. count it as two.

Hellsing Bitches

Wings.

Thanks for the 56k armageddon

Hellsing

Hellsing - 8
Wings of Honneamise - 10

Pretty close match, but when all is said and done, Alucard is dead for good this time. This brings Round 2 to a close.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
For Round 3, a series of "wild card" entries (including descriptions) have been submitted by a cross-section of the regular voters and will be randomly inserted into the matches as a third option. Vote for only one of the three.

In the event of a tie between a third entry and one of the others, the "wild card" will lose by default. Other ties will be handled normally.




Cowboy Bebop - A very episodic series following the often offbeat adventures of a group of interstellar bounty hunters including Spike Spiegel (a martial arts expert with a dark past), Jet Black (Spike's partner and owner of the Bebop), Faye (Spike and Jet's chief competitor and erstwhile companion), and Ed (a young girl with a prodigious talent for computer hacking). Includes one movie.

VS

Ashita no Joe (submitted by rezo) - One of the earliest sports anime, it is a classic series about a poor young drifter who reluctantly takes up boxing after being put in a youth prison for attempting to scam someone out of a large sum of money. From the early 70s, it does not follow the conventional style of contemporary sports anime but focuses on Joe's struggles and isolation and is fairly tragic at times.

VS

Macross - Originally chronicling the war between humanity and an alien race called the Zentraedi, the Macross franchise has since branched off into several other equally gripping tales. With its classic military/mecha action and powerful well-told stories, the series has long been a benchmark for sci-fi anime.

Ashita no Joe sounds rather interesting, but i've never seen it.

Bebop

Ashita no Joe sounds rather interesting, so I'm going to vote for it.

Ashita no Joe

Yeah! JOE!

fuck you guys

OMG, this is a fucking hard decision! Ashita no Joe ftw though

Joe of Tomorrow

hee hee i am clever

Difficult choice...

Macross

rezo's show sounds great, and I'd love to support the underdog, but I don't want to vote for a show I've never seen.

I'm trying to get the first 3 episodes now. They're downloading verrrrrrrrrrry slowly, but if I can see them, and I like what I see I will totally vote for them.

If not, at least you got people interested in the show, which is the whole point of the wild card thing, really. :)

despite that its probably very good
i dont even need to see that show

Cowboy Bebop ftw!

If not, at least you got people interested in the show, which is the whole point of the wild card thing, really. :)

What? That's silly. the whole point isAshitanoJoewinning.

A translation of the manga was started : http://starbruin.com/ashitanojoe.html

doesn't get too far into the series though.

Macross!

MACROSS 4EVER!!!!!!1

I feared for Bebop when I saw that rezo was suggesting the wild card, but i'll be quite disappointed if Bebop loses to Macross. =\

i have only seen bebop.

but I am going to vote for Ashita no Joe to mix it up a little. 8-)

We'll go for macross... anything but Cowboy Beebop! It is quite possibly the worst travesty on the face of the earth.

Basically, I don't wanna dissapoint rezo, I really like some Macross stuff but not all of it, and despite it's "over rated" status and having the stigma of being an "adult swim" featured anime I really like Cowboy Bebop...so this is damned hard! I'll provide my decision in an edit of this post

I'd really hate it if all the "wild cards" end up losing too

I think it is silly when people dislike something just because it is overrated. =/ Pretty much anything that becomes popular is bound to be overrrated by some people!

Anyways! I read all the chapters of ashita no joe rezo linked to, and I liked it a lot. I'm disapointed it stopped where it did, though. It seemed like the story was really starting to pick up. At any rate, it was enough to earn my vote. :)

Ashita no Joe sounds really interesting. I guess I'll vote for that. I didn't like the other two that much anyways =/

Basically, I don't wanna dissapoint rezo

haha, I'd only pretend to be dissapointed. Since you can't check out Joe and already like Bebop much more than Macross anyways, you might as well just vote for Bebop.


:)

:)

Bebop

Only Ktulu is allowed to vote for bebop. Change your vote.

Bebop. Easy.

Your mom is easy. to have sex with.

". . .Bang. . ."

Cowboy Bebop

macross

Ashita no Joe

Cowboy Bebop - 5
Ashita no Joe - 7
Macross - 5

Amazing. I never expected Ashita no Joe to win... especially over a couple of powerhouse names like those.




Golgo 13 - Ranking among the greatest badasses in anime history, Golgo 13 is a nigh-invincible assassin who will kill anybody, no matter who or how well-protected they are, if the price is right. Picture James Bond without any trace of a conscience. Covers two movies adapted from an extremely long-running manga.

VS

Last Exile - Claus and Lavie are a pair of Vanship pilots in a strange retro-futuristic world. Throughout the course of this well-crafted and beautifully animated story, they become involved in a war that will change the face of their world. Overall, it makes for a very fine balance between action, political intrigue, and character development.

VS

Urusei Yatsura (submitted by KtuluCJ77) - Urusei Yatsura, product of Ranma 1/2 and Inu Yasha creator Rumiko Takahashi, is the widely popular tale of unlucky schoolboy Ataru's encounter with his accidental fiance, incidentally one of anime's most recognizable "babes," the alien Lum. The property is represented in anime form in a 200+ episode television series, six movies, and ten OVAs.


I wonder how this one will go...
I can't bring myself to vote on it. =/

Amazing. I never expected Ashita no Joe to win... especially over a couple of powerhouse names like those.
CUZZ EVERYONE SUCKS UP TO REZO!
WHORES!!!

i bet hese even the onlyone who has actually seen the show

That's ridiculous. You're ridiculous. See, me, mr. wrongpants and chorns were already familiar with the series. Then ndi read the comic. And Yui hates macross and bebop. And ... tidus66 is well known for being a super huge Ashita no Joe fan.




also: Duo.



Amazing. I never expected Ashita no Joe to win... especially over a couple of powerhouse names like those.

I thought it'd just be me and maybe chorns voting for it, actually.It is christmas miracle.

and I can't decide on the current round yet either.

.
CUZZ EVERYONE SUCKS UP TO REZO!
WHORES!!!

i bet hese even the onlyone who has actually seen the show

rezo linked to some of the manga in this thread so that anyone who wanted to could read it. o_O

Also- I can't figure out how to vote on this one either. These wildcards are making this tricky (and fun)! I'm going with either Last Exile or Urusei Yatsura, though. Sorry rezo!

Last Exile

I gotta go with Golgo 13 on this one.

Amazing. I never expected Ashita no Joe to win... especially over a couple of powerhouse names like those.


It is christmas miracle.

Ktulu didn't even edit to make his vote..even though it would only be one..sucky ass Joe can eat dirt, like Joe Dirt..man that sucked.

Last Exile for this..even though it has no big action sequences it was my favorite and has the levelest animation imo out of the other two(exaggerated Golgo; oldskool Urusei)..and better be seeing as I bought the series, even though I later sold it.

Is Wolf's Rain anywhere in this thread?

Edit: no..can it be added to the wild card list if it isn't already?

omg. definately Urusei Yatsura. i don't know jack shit about the show, or her. but i know very well that in hentai circles, she's used as often as the sailor scouts and rei ayanami. :D my vote goes to her.

Actually I read the manga rezo posted!

Urusei Yatsura, which I think I have seen some of. Also: Golgo 13 is the worst pile of crap I have ever seen. =/

Meh, this is a hard vote too! Haha...geez

Going with Urusei Yatsura, since I like both it and Last Exile, and I like yo murphy more then I like Last Exile. :)

I pray that those of you who voted for a show you haven't seen, and those that voted for Macross, die a horrible death.

No really, die.

Also: Golgo 13

!

What about the scenes where he gives women the best sex ever without moving at all before possibly killing them? What about those scenes?

I've never checked, but I heard something like the comic is still coming out? that'd be pretty ridiculous.

Really though, I don't know whether to go with Lum or Golgo 13. I loved Lum when I was younger and Beautiful Dreamer is really one of the best anime movies I've seen. Both series are on the "always vote for them" list that I never actually created in my head.

I guess golgo 13 since I just changed my mind.

can it be added to the wild card list if it isn't already?

No. The list is already assembled. But don't give up hope. It might appear in future editions of this rumble!

Last Exile

macross ownz your life. whether you like it or not.

I guess I'll toot my own horn and vote for Urusei Yatsura

Urusei Yatsura

I wouldn't want ALL of the wildcards to win either now, mir?

macross ownz your life. whether you like it or not.

You aren't dead yet. Either God doesn't exist, or he's pissed at me for not believing in him.

Urusei Yatsura
Glogo13 what the fuck is that it sounds so lame

Abstaining cos not interested in any of the anime this time around.

You aren't dead yet. Either God doesn't exist, or he's pissed at me for not believing in him.


no. he's pissed for you not giving your soul over to Macross. do it now. or your going to hell. and last i heard, hell doesn't have any anime at all. O_o

Urusei Yatsura
Glogo13 what the fuck is that it sounds so lame

Shenanigans. I declare it.

I'll vote for Golgo 13. I'm not a big fan of Last Exile, and I haven't seen Urusei Yatsura(I'll check it out later).

Abstaining cos not interested in any of the anime this time around.

I thought you liked Last Exile!

I wonder who I am mixing you up with.

I may have voted for it last time it came up because it sounded more interesting than the other anime it was against.

This time, however, it holds no interest to me.

Going with Last Exile.

Fuck you rezo :D

shutup,you mook.

shutup,you gook.

=-O

C'mon Last Exile! One more babie! Show that Urusei who's king! Uh!

And my own vote for Last Exile closes it.

Golgo 13 - 4
Last Exile - 5
Urusei Yatsura - 6

Yet another wild card progresses over two formerly-powerful contenders. Is this going to be a new trend or was it nothing but a fluke?




Bubblegum Crisis - One of the defining entries in the cyberpunk genre, BGC was one of the earlier anime series to be available in North America. It centers around a group of young women known as the Knight Sabers, a team of armored vigilantes who battle against out of control Boomers (androids) and the ruthless Genom Corporation that manufactures them. The 90's saw an updated version of the series produced that greatly expanded the story of the original. It's spawned several spinoffs, but they're nowhere near as notable as Bubblegum Crisis and Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040.

VS

Patlabor - Another very persistent franchise, the Patlabor series has existed since 1989 and has seen new material as recently as 2003. In a world where giant robots called "labors" are used for everything from construction to warfare, a motley crew of of police officers utilize advanced patrol units called Patlabors to maintain law and order. Covers 1 TV series, 2 OAV series', and 3 movies.

VS

Zone of the Enders (submitted by Odin) - A short collection of anime based on the excellent mech/space opera video games by Konami. The overall storyline follows the development of the Orbital Frame as the series of powerhouse warbringers as a response to the historical backstory of the oppression of the Mars colonies (and later, other colonies further out in the Solar System) by the overly hateful and pompous Earthlings (a lot of similarities to the Gundam series in this regard). Consists of two OAV series centered around two different Orbital Frame models (Idolo and Dolores--many commentaries on internet reviews speculate on the very close resemblance of these two Orbital Frames with the Jehuty everyone is familiar with in the games), which I thought were still in production but a Google search reveals that further additions are up in the air due to a lack of sales. An excellent soundtrack and voice acting that is on par with the best anime of the same genre make this a must-have for fans of mecha anime.


Since the only one of those I remotely care about is Bubblegum Crisis, it gets my vote.

eh, Bubblegum Crisis

:'(
Golgo 13 - 4
Last Exile - 5
Urusei Yatsura - 6

At least it wasn't last..can't believe golgo got as many as it did.

Only have seen Bubblegum Crisis and parts of Patlabor but from the description Zone of the Ender sounds better than anything so I vote for that.

please remember to bold your votes.

Zone of the Enders

Bubblegum Crisis yo.

Bubblegum crisis



Yet another wild card progresses over two formerly-powerful contenders. Is this going to be a new trend or was it nothing but a fluke?

I'm pretty sure you can count on that trend ending this round.

ZONE OF THE ENDERS, GOD DAMNED MOTHER FUCKERS!

Bubblegum Crisis

I've haven't seen the ZOE anime, Odin. Sorry. =/

Bubblegum Crisis

Zoe!!!! very good ;)

wow. i might be the only one voting for patlabor. seen all 3 movies. (3 total right? if theres more, you must tell me O_O)

patlabor for me.

I might have put down a vote for Patlabor if it were against something else maybe, but in this instance I vote Bubblegum Crisis. I like the Ingram designs and there's some nice animation in the Patlabor movies, but BGC is more than just looks. The mech stuff in ZOE looks pretty neat but I've never seen it so I can't vote for it.

Haven't seen any of the others, so Zone of the Enders.

Bubblegum Crisis.

Patzone of the Bubblegum Enders Crisislabor

Zoe's losing..the one time there's a good wild card..

hahahahahahahaha

OPINION

Plus, as rezo so joyously pointed out, you don't even really know if it's 'good' or not

I've seen Zone of the Enders but I like Bubblegum Crisis more.

Bubblegum Crisis - 9
Patlabor - 1
Zone of the Enders - 5

haha @ Arcanine
EDIT: Just in time, Yui, although it didn't change the outcome in the slightest!




Space Pirate Captain Harlock - One of the most recognizable names in anime, the notorious pirate Harlock travels the sea of stars in his near-invincible battleship Arcadia, fighting tirelessly for nothing more than his own honor and freedom, as well as the memory of his best friend. If my count is correct, this covers three series and one movie, although many of the characters have appeared in several other shows.

VS

La Blue Girl (submitted by Tact) - Miko Mido is the descendant of the most powerful clan of female ninjas. After her grandmother dies, she is left with the heavy task of keeping the clan's status in check, while at the same time keeping the Shikima away from humans. The Shikima are horny demons who feed on the lust and desires of humans. Miko has to engage in sexual duels not only with the Shikima, but with the rival ninja clans as well. Sex battles where the one who "comes" first loses, and the last one to "come" wins. On top of all this, Miko is still struggling through high school... but why is Miko so closely bound to the Shikima?

VS

Record of Lodoss War - If there's a quintessential fantasy series, it's hard to imagine it being anything other than this. RoLW follows a band of heroes who seem to be ripped straight out of a hardcore AD&D game on their quest to save the Isle of Lodoss from destruction. Although the original OAV is more well-known, the tv series, Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, upholds the same standards of quality and follows the source material much more closely.


I have a feeling this one is gonna be pretty brutal. Anyway, I'd vote for Harlock over anything, but it's not even close this time simply because RoLW isn't half as original (or interesting) a concept.

That Tact.

Captain Harlock for me.

la blue girl because its not harlock.

CowboyBebopVSMacrossVSAshitaNoJoe...so this is damned hard! I'll provide my decision in an edit of this post. GolgoVSLastExileVSUruseiYatsura=Meh, this is a hard vote too! Haha...geez.
INDECISIVE


hahahahahahahaha; haha @ Arcanine
Do you mock me and my love of mecha?

Harlock Saga, although again I've never seen this, but believe Prak when he says RoLW lacks originality. And I have seen La blue girl which is just another mindless hentai:
That Tact.

Do you mock me and my love of mecha?


I'm sorry for laughing at you. Since Zone of Enders was the only series of the three that featured mecha, it's clear that your vote -as a mecha lover! -for it was completely justified, as well as your recognition of it being the only good wild card even though you've never seen it ever.
