Sykonee 17 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Patlabor. Actually, probably not, but that's the only one I CAN recommend because it's the only anime series I ever got into enough to buy DVDs for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slime Master 105 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 The Slayers and Record of Lodoss War would be right up your ally, one is a Sword and Sorcery comedy and another is more serious but retains the Sword and Sorcery motif. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just started watching Berserk and it's pretty good. lots of blood spray lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fates 266 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Slayers is the best I can recommend for something along the lines of DQ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mimas 158 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 For another comedy/fantasy anime you can give Dragon Half a try. Violinist of Hamelin would've also been a good choice if it was available on DVD here, or if the anime hadn't felt the need to suck out any comedy or happiness that existed in the manga. Mahoujin Guruguru! Published by Enix's Gangan comics! Guruguru is great for DQ fans since the author also worked on the Dragon Quest 4 koma manga. Sadly, its another anime/manga that you can't get officially translated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chrisds 1 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Mahoujin Guruguru! Published by Enix's Gangan comics! I started watching this, it's pretty funny!! Reminds me of DQ for sure. It's also funny that it's translated and yet we still haven't seen a translation of DnD or able... thanks for suggesting it to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

speedracer216 9 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 yeah, definitely the Lodoss War stuff. I also like D.Gray-Man Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slime Master 105 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Oh man I can't believe I didn't mention D.Gray-man sooner, that is a good title even though the series is currently on Hiatus (manga that is) and Full Metal Alchemist is another title well worth checking out.

Sadly, its another anime/manga that you can't get officially translated. It was officially translated and aired in Mexico. To Spanish, that is. Boy, in Mexico they sure get a lot of good anime that never makes it up north. I grew up on anime (Mazinger Z, Candy Candy, Remi, etcetera) and some USA cartoons that had continuity (Duck Tales, ThunderCats). I love having to catch the whole story, remembering details from past episodes and all that. I feel the current cartoons do not give me that sensation. I could watch just one and then wait a year before watching another one, and it would not matter. Anyway, in the eighties (and before, but I had not been born yet) there was some anime in Mexico while your country still had only a little of it. That's strange for me, since it was always there for me (I even knew it was from Japan as a kid, because some titles or signs were left intact). A good thing is that we do not scare of some content that gets censored in the USA. We got full frontal (young) Gokuu nudity on air television here, and that is something that would never make it to TV (or DVD) up North, no matter how innocent the scene is. Heck, we even get Sailormoon's friends' deaths on TV (kids get the meaning of giving up one's life to help others, no need to censor it), Haruka and Michiru as lovers, not cousins. Li Syaoran and Li Meiling, from Cardcaptor Sakura, remain cousins in the anime aired in Mexico, and they remain "engaged", too (we get the cultural differences that mean cousins can get married even if in our country that is seen as something weird, if not impossible). I guess we've been lucky with the exposure to anime since a long time ago, wouldn't you say? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slime Master 105 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yes you have, and it is this reason people pirate or import Anime, The American Anime industry is much like Hollywood's Writers of today, trying to take claim of a pre-existing thing and make it into their own.

eal 2,599 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Christ, this topic's been dead almost two years longer than I've been a member here. If you want to get in on talking about anime there's a specific topic for it in General Chit-Chat. Also, probably shouldn't link to a pirating site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robotnikthedrak 30 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Dead? "Hope never dies!" That's what my Captain Brenner always used to say! ^_^ If anyone is interested, Ruin Explorers is my favorite fantasy anime of all time, and a few other excellent fantasy titles that were not mentioned previously are:Phantom Quest Corp.Master of MosquitonWeathering ContinentTweeny WitchesMazeDevil Hunter YohkoPrincess MinervaSpectral ForceNow and Then, Here and ThereBattle Royal HighschoolAll very different tastes, all rare gems. Some of those titles are for older teens and above only, mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
