It was a 12-part (I think) VHS set that was released in the UK in the early to mid 90's? Probably my favourite mecha anime of all time if i'm honest. Love the Guyver. I thought it was the coollest thing on the planet when I was about 13. (still sort of do) I have some awesome animation cels from that series that are probably my favourites in my cel collection. A Zoanoid one even has the original hand painted background art. Apparently there was also a 60 minute OVA from 1986 before the series that I've never seen. I'm going to have to dig out my DVDs now it's time for a rewatch. 2 hours ago, WyattSheepMask said: One-Punch Man has been added to Netflix. Heard alot about it, but never got the chance to actually watch it. I do like the sound of the premise though I've started this yesterday. Only 3 episodes in but I really like it. It's like a blend of Fist of the North Star and The Tick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember paying what was then an exorbitant price for a VHS tape that lasted around 30 minutes. Wish I'd kept them all to be honest, but the other half binned them a while back.

Similarly all my old VHS have gone the way of the dodo. Fortunately in the early 2000's Manga Entertainment released the series on DVD in the US and I jumped on it. I've manged to upgrade most of the old VHS classics to DVD or Blu-ray these days. Never got round to getting Fist of the North Star or Monster City mind you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was that the same version as shown on that experimental Anime Network 10-12 years back, or was the latter a remake? It seemed very weird to end the run in a situation where alien-enhanced people were almost normalised in society and the hero returns out of nowhere, as if a 2nd season was set up but never shown here. Classic Evangelion, Elfen Lied, Excel Saga, Coyote Ragtime Show and a few others got full runs too, can't remember the rest. Edited April 11, 2018 by seph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The King Of Swing 1,262 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 One Punch Man is great fun. Definitely worth a watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WyattSheepMask 3,636 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Yeah I started it last night. Only 2 episodes in, its absolutely barmy but lots of fun so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merzbow 3,334 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) One Punch Man is great but I prefer the creators other show, Mob Psycho 100 by just a tad. There are a lot of similarities with the absurd humour etc but there's a little more whimsy and the art style is more in line with the authors original drawings. Also, Reigen, the best support character. I recently fell in love with Made in Abyss, everyone was raving about it and I thought it looked a little too cutesy and dumb at first but jesus it's one hell of an emotional roller coaster and is dark as fuck at times. You need to push through the first couple of episodes but when it hits you it really hits you. Edited April 11, 2018 by Merzbow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Guyver series that was shown on the Anime Network was a later version I think, as it ran for 26 episodes or so, while the original series I'm talking about was limited to 12 I think. You've reminded me that I need to get hold of that later series though, as I only saw a few of them. 13 hours ago, The King Of Swing said: One Punch Man is great fun. Definitely worth a watch. I've added that to my watchlist. I've heard good things about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know where I can found the real Guyver complete series to watch online? The 26 episode series is on Crunchyroll which can be watched free with ads (on PS4 at least, never tried it on other devices) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members DEF 850 Posted May 27, 2018 Paid Members Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I fancy starting a new anime on Netflix. Any recommendations? Off the top of my head I've seen, Psycho Pass One Punch Man Trigun Death Note Attack on Titan Cowboy Bebop Anything similar to any of them would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't say it's similar but try Erased, there's also a live action series on there but the anime is the best of the two. STEINS;GATE is the closest you'll get to Psycho Pass and I'd look up Terror in Resonance too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merzbow 3,334 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Oh shit! Stand Alone Complex is easily the best adaptation of Ghost In The Shell too, it even makes sense. Edited November 29, 2018 by Merzbow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lightningxlock 21 Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Right then, I've been informed of One Piece. All 900+ episodes of it. Has anybody tackled this? I've looked at a few 'how to watch' guides on it as there's a lot of filler but like a lot of these things there's different takes on what is and isn't essential viewing. Does anybody have any advice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members jazzygeofferz 2,397 Posted January 30 Paid Members Report Share Posted January 30 I signed up for crunchyroll today because my nephew wanted to watch the final feature length episode on an anime he'd been watching on the free one. Currently on my personal watch list I've stuck Case Closed because I started reading the Manga goodness knows how long ago, Ace Attorney because I like the games and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure because JoJo. The last Anime I watched was Samurai Champloo. I started Death Note, but had to return the portable hard drive I was watching it on. Is there any other interesting detective anime or manga on there worth a watch or read? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its very well known but as you didn't mention you've read it then I would certainly recommend checking it out. Its a muder mystery with robots as the suspects potential culprits. One of those that lives up to its reputation. A true masterpiece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
