Topic: Your Top Anime DVDs

[benny]

Anyone got the Japanese 3-disc Mononoke Hime ?

I wish I could at least rent it for a look see.  

[barrid]

 Can anyone please make a list of all Full length Anime DVDs available.
 What do you mean by OAV, btw?

 TIA

Go here Anime on DVD and refer to their Disc Reviews section.

OVA or OAV: Original Video Animation or Original Animated Video. Are ANIME distributed directly to home video, without ever being shown in theaters or television.

Enjoy!

[barrid]

Thanks, Dozer. Obviously, I'm just starting to appreciate Anime. Though, I've seen some, but it's all series. That's why, I'm looking for a full movie.

[Dark Knight]

Hi barrid.

Pareho pala tayo. Ang talagang tina-target ko lang sa DVD eh yung mga Anime movies. Hirap i-collect yung mga series eh. Sa lahat ng napanood ko na Anime DVDs, ang magaganda ay, Princess mononoke, Ninja Scroll, Fatal Fury the Movie at Mystery of the Necronomicon. Yung iba ok lang like, Tekken and Gundam Wing the Movie.

Sarap talaga manood ng Anime movies. Kaya pag mga series, sa vcd ko nalang sila kinukuha.

[barrid]

Hi Dark Knight,

 Tama ka. Pareho tayo ng target. Full length Anime movie. Ewan ko ha, kasi yung series mahirap makumpleto. Pa isa-isa ang dating. At ang mahal pa naman ng bawat dvd. Isa o dalawang series lang ang laman. Pero ayos ang style mo, kung series ay sa VCD na lang. Mas matipid.
 Yung mga sinabi mong titles ay nakita ko nang available sa VHS rental.Pero sa totoo lang, kahit yung Mononoke ay hindi ko pa napapanood. Pero teka, mas mabuti yatang tanungin muna kita. Worth bang bilhin ang mga titles na binanggit mo o mas mabuti kung aarkilahin muna? Pero, sigurado akong one of these days, bibilhin ko ang Princess Mononoke.

 Matino na ba ang mga nabibiling VCD sa ngayon?

Salamat sa info.

This is a general anime DVD thread.  What you have...what you'd like to have...your top 10 favorites...as long as it's about anime DVD, you can post it here.  There's nothing in the subject that limits this thread to posting merely what anime DVDs you would want.

[bravoexo]

Just like people to know that I did "search" this place...and indeed my imprez of this thread wasn't what I had in mind.  Coz parang kung 'anime' eh isang thread na lang ok na yun...do a search of 'anime' here...you'd see why...and going by the thread starter's first post, it still doesn't go by that point either.  But you're the boss..ikaw ang masusunod dito...right?

IMHO though...

Thank you very much then, you are a model member.  I wish more would follow your example.

and indeed my imprez of this thread wasn't what I had in mind.  Coz parang kung 'anime' eh isang thread na lang ok na yun...do a search of 'anime' here...you'd see why...and going by the thread starter's first post, it still doesn't go by that point either.

If you'd like an explanation of the logic behind my decision, fair enough.  Here in the DVD Discussion area, there are two threads about anime:  this general anime thread, and another one called Anime You'd Like to See on DVD, that is concerned with anime titles as yet unreleased on DVD.  So I figure we have one thread to cover existing anime DVDs (where we can post our wish list, our collection, our favorites, etc.), and another to cover anime not yet released on DVD.  That should be enough.

But just to show you that I understand your point, I'm going to reopen the thread you made, and modify the title to make it more specific.  Okay?

But you're the boss..ikaw ang masusunod dito...right?

IMHO though...

Just trying to my job the best I can.  May I just say that since you're just concerned about one thread, and I have to worry about 326 threads in this area, as well as 293 more threads in two other areas I handle, that perhaps it wouldn't hurt you to cut me just a little slack?  

Thanks for your input, though.  I do appreciate it.

i think most of the anime titles are for 13 and up.
i'm a parent myself and i do not let my daugther watch most of my anime collection, i'm not really worried exposing her on minor cartoon nudities...but more so on the graphic fighting and violence.

the only anime titles that i would allow my daughter to watch are, kiki's delivery service , Panda Go Panda and Pokemon


but that's just me

Welcome to PinoyDVD Little David,

 Excellent choices you have there. Though, I haven't owned some of them yet. But,they are on my wishlist.

 Keep on posting!  

[bently]

thanks a lot!  it's nice to hear from other parents.  may be i'd let him try pokemon.

Yeah.. gotta admit, most anime's are geared toward late teenagers and adults.

Some such as Samurai X/Ruruoni Kenshin (TV series) are still watchable by kids although the Japanese versions (unlike the ones dubbed locally here) do contain some amounts of blood. Others such as Dragonball (watch the fansubs, and you'll see what I mean) involve a lot of bloodshed and cursing.

Be careful of choosing anime, though, as some titles may seem kiddie-like in comparison (because they don't look serious or they don't contain sex and violence) but are something you wouldn't want the kids to see until they're a bit older, such as Grave of the Fireflies which has in my opinion a very tragic yet incredibly moving storyline.

[bravoexo]

I just got Gasaraki vol 8.  Can't wait to watch it.

[Dog from OuTeR Space]

hi guys

same here, honestly I'm also ignorant on these Anime stuff... more than that, I'm not really into cartoons even since childhood, well... only a few like carebears , disney films, and with anime, a few Voltes V and Dragonball... but lately I've been curious with these stuff, I'd like to watch something new, at saka naaawa ako sa sarili ko everytime there's discussions on these cartoon things ... well, anyways, what titles can you recommend for me to start my collection... and is 700 pesos a reasonable amount for brand new Anime DVDs

[bently]

that's okay [glow=orange,11344,378934]Dog from OuTeR Space[/glow]

i'm also a late adopter of anime films, my 1st anime was[glow=black,378934,11344]ghost in the shell[/glow]and this got me hooked.

try going back on the 1st page of this thread, where you can get alot of good suggestions on anime titles...

[MultipleAngles]

My favorite is the Rurouni Kenshin OAV.
The TV series was great, but I got blown away by the OAV!
Too bad that they didnt include the "Revenge" storyline in the series, wherein Tomoe's( Himuras first love, as told in the OAV) brother, Einishi( tama ba spelling?) now an expert swordsman himself, seeks Kenshin and gets his revenge by "killing" Kaouru.
Ninja Scroll and Princess Mononoke are up there, too, in my best anime list.
Im still hoping a DVD version of VOLTES V will come out.

Good news, Battou! The "Revenge" Arc's been (or being) animated, and even better news is it's done a la the OAVs! I saw the first part this afternoon. Sweet!

Dawgz, you might wan't to start with older anime. My experience with many viewers is that those who've seen the newer, technologically sophisticated anime (like -yuk- Spriggan) can't appreciated the gold ol' toons of yor like Macross/Robotech, or even Akira.

Since the SRP of legit anime DVDs goes for about $24, you'll have to find a very generous seller with 2nd-hand DVDs if you want em for P700. Still, been lucky a few times

Better yet, why don't you check out AXN's lineup first? I highly recommend Slam Dunk

[Kenshin]

Good news, Battou! The "Revenge" Arc's been (or being) animated, and even better news is it's done a la the OAVs! I saw the first part this afternoon. Sweet!

Was it on DVD? Now THAT'S sweet!

FYI, not everything from the Revenge arc will be animated, only the bits and pieces that form the gist of the arc and directly relates to Kenshin ( judging by the length of the first part). Too bad, but still at least we get new Kenshin animation.  

[MultipleAngles]

It was VHS actually , but I'm pretty sure ADV Films will be coming out with the DVD soon

[Spoilers]
Part one didn't actually deal with the revenge part until the very end - with a dramatic cliffhanger. The bulk of the anime is more like a summary of Kenshin's growth through Kaouru's eyes, starting from day one.

[Battousai]

Demmit!!!
Bitin yung first part ng second OAV ng Rurouni Kenshin.
I believe na-release na ngSONY yung DVD nito sa Japan.
Got one last year on VCD.
Any news when the second part will come out?
Rumor was on February. Pero malapit ng matapos Feb, wala pa rin.
Too bad at di yata ipapakita ng buo yung Revenge storyline. The creators, i think, said that this was supposed to end the TV series. Seeing as how the last episode( the un-aired one ) was too boring, this might make-up for the request fans have been making on the Enishi arc, and a satisfying ending to the series.
Hmmm. They are now selling the Mazinger Z TV series on DVD, at Hongkong.
Set 1 to 3 contains 4 DVDs( so 12 lahat, at 1-32, 33-64, 64-92) Di kasama Great Mazinger dito.
Now, if only theyd make a Voltes V DVD.

[Battousai]

Nga pala, saan ba may DVD ng SLAM DUNK?
Yung may english subs, ha?
Lahat ng nakita ko, Chinese subs lang meron.
Ive been following this series on AXN, and it's very funny.
Hey, if you like basketball, then youll enjoy this anime series.
That Hanamichi character is one funny dude!

[mdizo]

Hi.
I'm not your typical hardcore Anime fan like most of you guys are.  I guess I'm stuck in the 70s/80s.  
Are there DVD releases of Voltes V, Mazinger Z, and Candy Candy? If there are, where can I find them?
Thanks.

[xage]

Heard that they have a compilation of such like Mazinger Z
