I don't know if all of you guys have ever played GTA IV and the Liberty City stories, but here's a video poking fun of Anime in-case you never seen it.

Its a made up show (parody) that you could watch when you access a TV in GTA IV.

Here's another show that's just plain stooooopid. Hope you like it.

Republican Space Rangers

And here's one from Liberty City stories. This one is a little bit better with the wise ass cracking jokes.

And apparently Rockstar is going to produce more of this show for GTA V.

I used to be big into Anime, as most pimple-faced high school outcasts were. I'm not much into it anymore. However, i do still play YuGiOh as it's more fun than regular cards and easy enough to play that i can get anyone into it. Not to mention i started playing when i was 13 and to just stop would be a big waste of money in my eyes. (Although, i only play with close friends. I don't really want to flaunt my nerdy guilty-pleasure around.)

Jormungand have been most entertaining anime series this season

[Vracer111]

Another anime fan here. But I'm selective and I tend to like the more serious stuff mostly:

5 Centimeters per Second
Birdy the Mighty: Decode One of my most favorite anime series...
Canaan - Alphard steals the show - best female villain ever?
Casshern Sins
Ergo Proxy (probably my all time favorite...plan on getting the Japanese Blu-Ray release coming out next month...having to sell none important title in my collection to cover the cost though...)
Evangelion - 1.11 & 2.22 movies, have not seen the series yet, plan to after all the movies have been completed!
Eve no Jikan
Figure 17
Flag
Ghost in the Shell (both series and Innocence)
Gunslinger Girl (Another one of my favorites, first series only though...)
Jin-Roh
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (I do no like most Miyazaki films...this one is an exception! The manga is just plain AWESOME though!)
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
The Skull Man - best serious mystery/detective anime I've seen.
Solty Rei
Summer Wars
Sword of the Stranger
Usagi Drop (probably only second behind Ergo Proxy to me..have the Austrailan DVD release and have the US Blu-Ray pre-ordered)
Viper's Creed - if only this would get a release outside of Japan!
Yukikaze

and also some "Classics":
Bubblegum Crisis
Cowboy Bebop - another one of my most favorite series
Gunbuster
Patlabor(entire franchise - have it and Love it!)
Trigun

but also like some comedies:
Cat Blue Dynamite - a throwback to the 70's that's so bad it's awesome...
Dai-Guard
FLCL
Full Metal Panic - entire franchise...
Gintama
Gunsmith Cats
Nichijou
Ramen Fighter Miki
Trava Fist Planet (finally got the DVD - for not a bad price either!)
You're Under Arrest

and some racing titles:
Capeta - this seriously needs a DVD release
eX-Driver
Initial D - needs to be a 5th stage!
Oban Star Racers

and some others:
Arjuna
Beck
Iria: Zeiram the Animation
Macross Zero - Oh, how this needs an English sub release on Blu-Ray!
Origin: Spirits of the Past
Planetes
Princess Nine
Rocket Girls
Romeo x Juliet
Samurai Champloo
Sky Blue - the Korean Animation
Valerian & Laureline
Vexille

But i have to say Redline, has been my current favorite anime title ever since the Japanese Blu-Ray release last year, and it's one of the few titles other than Nausicaa that I bought more media than just the anime or soundtrack: (Actually have 3 different Blu-Ray releases of it - Japanese Special Edition, UK Collectors Edition, and regular US release) have an official framed Movie poster, Extras from the Japanese release and a Japanese flyer framed, Redline Super Anime Album, and fanart sketch I comissioned at a convention. I also want to build from scratch a model of Sonoshee's "Crab Sonoshee" racer in the near future... the most awesome and sleek racing vehicle to grace anime. And the Blu-Ray is just spectacular - best reference level anime for combination of picture and audio... the audio is just spectacular!

As for upcoming titles, of course Evangelion 3.0/3.33 is highly anticipated, but I'm also looking forward to Mamoru Hosoda's new movie Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki and am very excited about Sakasama no Patema, from the creators of Eve no Jikan...

OMFG!!!!! I hate Sakamichi no Apollon with a passion!!!!! I f'ing didn't need to watch soap opera in anime series!!!!!!!! F'! I can't believe I've wasted time watching up til 10 epi... FML

[ionshards]

@Vracer111: I'm watching Birdy the Mighty: Decode right now. I'm on the second season, it's pretty good.

I just finished Elfin Lied. Lots of gore, but really well thought out story.

And I just watched FLCL (I'm behind, I know), but I didn't really get it... o_0

Very sad that Bleach anime ended; just can't bring myself to read the manga & continue the story haha

I hate it when I have to feel that way about trying a new anime! haha I know what you mean; you just want to finish the story you already wasted some hours on, but it's definitely terrible =P

Awesome! Which set? I've got a lot of sets & rules to catch up on; since my last set was Pharaoh's Servant with the intro of legendary secret rares Jinzo & Imperial order xD

This also makes me think about the all the video games for the card game; some were good for a while, while others were terrible xD
Nothing beats actually holding the cards Lol

I'm now online card shopping... =P

I remember my favorite part of the anime was battle city! I have to rewatch that series again!
