What anime did you last watch?

[Bliss]

Do you speak spanish? If so then I can certainly lead you towards the torrent that I downloaded.

Awww... unfortunately my Spanish is up there with my Italian... very very very basic.... But all the same, I'd like the link if you could... Thanks. It's got to be better than trying to piece together what limited Japanese I know from watching RAWs... *shrugs*
Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed that SD didn't finish the second ep of Z.. I've been waiting forever...ugh

This is the torrent I downloaded. Like it says, the subs are in spanish, castillan to be exact. I always find Castillan to be rather silly spanish A bit of searching also popped up this torrent. It doesn't say what language it is in though.

[Bliss]

Thanks for the links Frog...
Hopefully the mininova version is in English but I doubt it... oh well.. I'll try to piece together what I can understand from the Tokyotosho ver too... hmmm it's not like you'll need to understand much to enjoy the series right... unlike GITS 2nd GiG....

Ah My Goddess TV, 2nd Season: AMG TV is one of the very few OAV-to-TV transitions that's better than the OAV.

AMG TV isn't an OAV to TV transition. It's a TV adaption of the actual AMG manga, whereas the OAV was just a short anime series that was based on Characters from the manga but not all the events.
It's similar to the new Hellsing series in that respect.

I'd agree with you, except for one glaring hole in your argument. The TV series does not follow the events of the manga. It interprets them, for lack of a better phrase, in much the same way the OAV did in its time. In almost every episode, I can see deviations from the manga, or scenes where different manga arcs were blended.
An example would be the episode in which Belldandy gets drunk for the first time. In the manga, this happened at a club party. In the TV ep, it happens at a formal party thrown by Sayoko, in which she attempts to upstage Belldandy unsuccessfully, despite having "stacked the deck". At the end of the manga arc, she and K1 have to deal with a wish on his part having stuck them together physically. In the TV ep, it cuts that short and doesn't follow up on it at all. It simply ignores it and moves on to the next story.
Also, the TV eps have the stories in a very different order than the manga, and several of the characters have different origins. Sora, for one, is shown as having been part of the Motor club from the very beginning episode, where she was introduced later in the manga, IIRC.
You are correct in one thing, though. I didn't mean to imply that the TV series is a sequel to the OAV. It's a retelling from the beginning. It's just a slightly different universe from either the manga or the OAV.

Just started watching AMG TV season 1,
and am working my way through Ranma season 7.
I was given, but not yet watched, a promotional DVD of the 1st episode of Full Moon Osagashite

[lwf58]

Full Moon wo Sagashite (Searching for the Full Moon) is perhaps the single best Mahou Shoujo anime series I've ever seen. It follows many of the cliches of the genre in that it has two "mascot animals", a stuffed rabbit and a stuffed cat. The main character is a young girl who gains the ability to become a 16-year-old with the aid of magic. It has her getting involved in a bunch of silly adventures as she tries to balance her secret identity with her normal life.
And that's where the similarities end. The young girl is an orphan, who stayed at an orphanage until her grandmother finally agreed to take her in. She dreams of becoming a singing idol, but her grandmother hates music in general and pop music in particular. And if she doesn't undergo an operation that has a 50-50 chance of destroying her voice forever, she's going to die of throat cancer in one year. Her two "mascots" are actually shinigami whose assignment is to make sure she doesn't miss her appointment with the Grim Reaper.
The series is chock full of plot twists and turns that come out of nowhere just when you think you have it pegged, and you almost never quite manage to figure out the foreshadowing right, so when the events they are hinting at come, they usually hit you below the belt. If you like Magical Girl series at all, then by all means, try this one out. The farther along you get, the better it gets.

Last anime I watched is... Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan. It's... weird. Spamville weird, that is. I don't think I can describe it beyond 'loli angel with a LARGE spiked club goes back in time to stop a pervert and clubs him to death - repeatedly'.
If you feel the need to damage what little sanity you have left, watch it.

[Neko-]

I hate you... You just made me friggin' curious!!!
Since I don't have any sanity left, I guess it's not something that'll damage me much... Righty then...

[Valkyrie Ice]

I feel hopelessly deprived of Anime down here in hell... So many titles I havn't a clue about. *sigh*

Be warned, though, it's fairly gory. Dokuro-chan, the title character, knocks the poor male lead's head right off his shoulders multiple times - and then promptly revives him.
Oh, and her halo is razor-sharp. Finger-cutting sharp.
...yeah, there's nothing normal about this anime.

[lwf58]

That's putting it mildly. And tearing the top half of his head off isn't all she does. Depends on where she hits. She's put large holes through his torso, ripped him in two at the waist, and pretty much everything else you can imagine. Blood sprays everywhere, and there are often rather gory depictions of body parts.
Fortunately, it is played as cartoony violence, so it's humorous gore, if you can imagine such a thing. While it sounds impossible, they manage to pull it off somehow.
My main objection to Dokuro-chan is that it's only eight half-episodes long, so they only show you bits and pieces of the story. Plot-wise, it's incoherent and doesn't really go anywhere.

[Valkyrie Ice]

I think my favorite anime along those lines is Dragon-Half.
Oh what a lovely empty shiny head!

[lwf58]

Er... Which one? That could describe the majority of the characters in Dragon Half!
...Well, except Damaramu. As he said, his head isn't empty. His brain is just very, very compact. ^_^

[Valkyrie Ice]

Actually, that's a reference to the king, but I am curious as to how many people actually realized I did a replay of Damaramu vs Mink in Tears...
