Im looking for some real fan of anime

We could talk about the new series that air in japan now. Like Wangan Midnight or talk about old anime like Lodoss War, Tenchi, Naruto, Initial D, etc.

And to be inform of new anime DVD like Disgaea etc.

I think this could be fun

Talk me about your favorite anime and what future release are you looking forward to

I'd say that I'm a pretty big fan of anime as well, but like RossRoy I don't really keep very informed.  So many of the series that I own have been bought used (probably 80% of them) and I just bought them because the price was right and the covers somehow caught my eye.  I've rarely been disappointed with any of them, finding something enjoyable about nearly every one that I've watched. And several of them I thought were downright amazing - one of which RossRoy mentioned, Last Exile, which I thought was beautifully done.

I have, at the moment, a huge backlog of anime to watch also (though it hasn't slowed down my purchases any - the backlog grows faster than my viewed list.)   I'm currently watching the Inuyasha series (I think I'm on disc #57,012 of that series.    )

My current favorites are the Cowboy Bebop stuff, Love Hina (ridiculously silly, but it made me laugh out loud more than once), Saikano (which was odd, but very dramatic), and, though it isn't a series, Grave of the Fireflies.  That last one made my cry so hard I had to leave the room before anyone saw. I still haven't seen the last 5 minutes of it yet.  And, in case you think that's weird, just let me say that the 2 kids in that movie reminded me very much of my own kids, so that's probably why.

Anyway, while I'd love an anime related thread here, and to be able to get info on what's new and all, I'm afraid I might not have too very much to contribute to the conversation.

I'm also an anime-fan, but by strange coincidence I'm also not really up-to-date.
Link to DVD-list and choose 'Anime' in the choicebox on the top left.

Got hooked up with "Neon Genesis Evangelion" ~10 years ago, love that stuff ever since. Although I'm not to keen for this sweet, girly stuff, if you now what I mean. ^_^

Quoting Ralliart:

One thing that I dont like about anime is the price of the dvd's 

Buy smart!
On Gilgamesh e.g. I waited for the 'Complete Collection' and paid 36€ (~48USD) vor the whole 26 episodes. Plus they are thinpaks, so I save shelfspace too.
Similar for the second season of Gantz 37€. The first season ~55€ and that only because they where dirt-cheap at DVD Soon, had I paid normal streetprices it would have been 80€ or more.

PS I don't want to sum up what I paid for the NGE-DVDs back in 2000/2001 

I hate Anime. It keeps my wife from paying attention to me, as she should.

I do like some series, like Inu Yasha and Hellsing.
And I can't say enough about the Vampire Hunter D movies.

The wife has made me watch Chobits, Fruits Basket, Blood Plus, Sorcerer Hunters (I can't stand to be in the room when this is on), Noir (kinda liked it) and many others. She gets so wrapped up in her Anime that I'm not allowed to talk or even move.

EDIT: Forgot to mention my loathing for Revolutionary Girl Utena. The series is atrocious and the "movie" was a nightmare. There was a penis shaped car for crying out loud!

I don't know if I would call myself a big fan, but I buy anime on a normal basis (we also keep anime in a separate section of the racks). I won't watch subtitled ones (not into reading movies). I just recently finished S2&3 of InuYasha. Hopefully they will finish putting out the rest of them in season sets...

At the moment it's all about GEDO SENKI and seeing how Goro did... IMO.

I love watching anime.

If there's anything I like as much as watching anime it's collecting anime.
