Message: <blockquote data-quote="DarkSoldier" data-source="post: 470115" data-attributes="member: 3106">I'm a big fan, but I don't own a lot of material. My collection is as follows (all dubbed and on VHS, unfortunately):MD Geist Director's CutMD Geist II: Death ForceWrath of the Ninja: the Yotoden MovieSlayers vol.1 (first 4 episodes)Project A-ko Versus Battle Vol.1: Grey SideFatal Fury: the Motion PictureStreet Fighter II (not Alpha, not V; the original)Dragonball Z: the History of Trunks (Xmas gift from fanboy cousin)Mobile Suit Gundam: the 08th MS Team (subtitled! First 3 eps)I've seen tons of others; the list is extensive, containing good and bad (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Blood: the Last Vampire, for example).The Americanized stuff is garbage of the worst calibre; I strongly recommend that you avoid anything playing on TV (except Gundam Wing, since that's relatively uncut, but it's still fodder for fanboys and yaoi-deprived fangirls).Find stuff that is not in the mainstream yet: the classic Universal Century Mobile Suit Gundam stuff, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and the Guyver, to name a few. The stuff that American studios haven't had a chance to butcher yet is the good stuff. Steer clear of anything on kids' TV.There is a group of fans I suggest you avoid: the fanboys and fangirls. These people are the drooling, screaming yutzes with 5-second attention spans, and make websites that say "Dragon Ball Z rox!" The only exposure to anime these people get is stuff on Cartoon Network, FOX, and YTV. They watch the heavily censored, stupified, and Americanized anime and think that's how it is. Oh, how I would like to sit them down and show them raw Dragonball, so they can see just how mangled their "favurit cartoon" is.I'll talk about almost any genre, but my knowledge of anime is extremely limited compared to the vast knowledge of some people, like John of AnimeNation's Ask John column. Y'know, I have't checked that column in ages! I should go see what's been added!</blockquote>
