Who else watched this freaking amazing 1998 anime? It's a dark, noir inspired anime where everyone tots guns and smokes cigarettes, for those not in the know.

Amazing anime, highly recommended.

I heard this piece of **** died, why is it still alive

oh just read the intro post after the above line, hahah, 1998, yeah I thought something about it was weird... LIKE IT BEING OLD

No but seriously I can't be bothered to watch poor animation and I hate smokers and smoking soooo it's too bad but I don't think I'll ever watch this

and yes I am that passionate in my dislike of drugs and shit

Just kidding, yeah there is a film and it's not bad.

You can't really say that because something is old it has bad animation, lots of new series these days have poor or lazyy animation as well (Lazy in the way they re-use scenes like the tree-jumping in Naruto)

I mean, Evangelion is old enough and is still amazing, sure comppared to the recent rebuilds the animation looks poor but on it's own it's still great

I wasn't, I'm saying that it is old and happens to have relatively poor animation

the animation today isn't necessarily a ton better but you can usually find it in higher resolution with slightly more better-drawn animations and better effects and maybe better sounds

also I consider an anime a TV show, just one that is Japanese

Nah a TV show is like The Simpsons, or Two and a Half Men.

^While that is true that shouldn't stop you watching old Anime, none of it is ear-grating or eye-gougingly bad

It's just not as good when compard to something released in 2008 or so.

I'm not sure if you know just how good early 2000's and late 90's Japanese animation is.

They do not recycle shots, at least I can't tell. The fights are as fluid as any fight in One Piece (and the GOOD fights in Naruto). The characters are awesome, and the story is pretty damn good. It's outstanding. The colors are dark and such, but the quality is awesome. You could say you don't like dark colors, but it fits well with the theme, and being a graphicz guy, I can tell you it fits ten times better than vibrant colors. Would Saving Private Ryan's cinematography be as good without the color saturation? I say no.

Unless they have it on Hulu, I'd probably never get around to watching it, unfortunately.

You are right, Blazer.


Hulu is pretty awesome by the way. I remember my freshman English teacher would play old SNL skits on hulu on the projector. ****ing awesome.

Hulu is so convenient. But it's only downside is that you either can't watch the whole season, just the last like...10 new episodes, or they don't even have it.

Just get a crap computer, wipe the hard drive and download Veoh web player, you can watch most stuff on there subbed or dubbed.

The reason you don't want to do it on a computer you use regularly is the privacy policy they have.

Which is why I've downloaded it onto my college computer profile... now if only I had headphones...

Or else it was the same studio who made the two?

Either way nice find!

It's uncanny, isn't it? If it is the same studio, I wonder what other animations are merely copies of older stuff...

I found this on toonamiaftermath.com when I was watching the Cowboy Bebop movie. Someone in the stream chat linked to this gif and I was like "Holy shit, this needs to go in the Bebop thread!"

I'm sure lots do it, to save money, it's like the repeating of the same scene thing that you see a lot of in some animés

Like naruto and the jumping from tree to tree thing, obvious scene re-use haha
