My fav would have to be hellsing. What can I say, I have a weakness for bloodsuckers. Especially ones that like to talk shit. Gobs of hellsing fans like to argue over which is better: hellsing or hellsing ultimate. I love them both. For me comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. They're both fruit, but the flavor...ah, the flavor is completely different! Hellsing has more of a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am sort of feel to it. Ultimate, on the other hand, is much truer to the manga so it feels more authentic. It really just boils down to what trips your trigger.
Some fav quotes:
Alucard
"I'll send you to Hell so you can lick Satan's ass!"
Jan Valentine & Integra (Jan is addressing the round table over the intercom while his ghouls ravage hellsing members) Jan: "This is a shout-out to all our listeners in the round table conference, and a special hello to that whoring little bitch Ms. Hellsing! Can you hear me? We... are... the VALENTINE BROTHERS! I'm Jan Valentine, and it's real nice to finally meet ya'. We appreciate you joining us for this late lunch. We are currently enjoying the delicious taste of the Hellsing membership! Integra: "They're... eating my people!" Jan: "And while you're waiting for us to kill YOU, we highly recommend pissing yourselves! Followed by a course of praying to your impotent God! Then cowering in the corner and begging...always good...but if you act now, there's still time for an old-fashioned SUICIDE! Thank you London! We love you! Good night! "
Alucard (from the manga)
"What memories. I can smell everything. The scent of men stabbed. The scent of women cut down. The scent of babes burnt. The scent of the elderly shot dead. The scent of death. The scent of war."
On a side note, I'd like to think that if the ghouls came for me I'd hear this in my head, you know, just for motivation:
"My heart's beatin, my heart's beatin, my hands are shakin, my hands are shakin, but i'm still shootin, i'm still gettin headshots! it's like BOOM! HEADSHOT, BOOM! HEADSHOT, BOOM! HEADSHOT, BOOM! HEADSHOT!" FPS Doug, pure pwnage
Very Nice Anubis. I think I fall into the Hellsing ultimate fan. I like that its a little truer to anime. But Hellsing was alright. I didn't make it past the first disk though. I don't remember why. Hmmm. They seem the like the same though. Am I going crazy?
LOL There are better fight scenes in ultimate, more enemies, truer to the manga overall. But Hellsing has that wonderful wonky music and Alucard has better lines at times. When Hellsing was all I had I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, so it still has a special place of honor in my favs. It probably always will. But Ultimate is so much more authentic that I love it as well. What can I say? I'm a Hellsing whore.
Haha a helling whore. I'm gonna keep trying to make time to watch it. I got sucked into itunes lately. I'm late to the digital music game and its taking forever to rip all my cds. Booo.
Thanks for the list Lisa. And i take it you are a Hayao Miyazaki fan. Hehe. Well you are very welcome here. I have an excellent suggestion for you. It's Called "The Girl Who Lept or Jumped through time". Its not out in the U.S. but. Hmmm. Ok you convinced me I'll try to post it. I think everyone will love it.
I absolutely loved THE GIRL THAT LEAPT THROUGH TIME! Watched it on Veoh.com last night! Thanks, guys! You all rock! Now, I need more crack - have others a girl like me would like? hehe
NIce thanks scott, welcome to animezone. Its funny but I've yet to see tortoro or Kiki's.... However, by your likes, I can assume that you will like the Girl who leapt through time, that was just posted.
