Thread: The close to forgotten anime series

for me it would have to be blue seed becuase it was only on once and it wasa good series then they nver showed it again and i never hear anyone talk about or anything
which is sad because i really liked the art work and detail they put into it.

its also a manga and i have yet to find the manga because they
dont sell it here where i live which has me questioning wither or not
of blue seed ever gained any recognition at all for a good anime.

Kiddy Grade has hardly been forgotten.

There have been 2 OVA sequels and a set of BOME figures in the recent past. It also helped legitimize yuri-themed anime directed at men: giving us Simone, Strawberry Panic, and Kashimashi as a more or less direct result. Not to mention the entire "Yurihime" comic label.

I didn't care for the show myself. I thought it was totally incomprehensible. But I appreciate it being so inclusive of alternate sexualities.

my answer is quite simple .. the animes were not watched to be forgotten from people around me ... they don't even know what an anime is ... well except some of my friends .. but i'd say The Vision Of Escaflowne i wished that there would be more but too bad the story end does not give the chance to have that

Escaflowne was the first anime I shared with my mother. She enjoyed them so much that she owns her own box set. My mom's in her late 50s and had no interest in anime at all before Escaflowne came along.

You should really check out Genesis of Aquarion whenever it's actually released in the US. The director was a head animator on Escaflowne, the music is by Yoko Kanno, and quite a bit of the design and key animation staff are Escaflowne vets. As a result, the entire thing feels more than a wee bit like Escaflowne itself.

And yes, I'm aggressively promoting this thing everywhere I possibly can. But I'm determined to make someone else watch this show so people will know what I'm talking about!

I really enjoyed Blue Seed as well. I think about it every so often, and I'll put a check in my Tv search, but I never see it. I really enjoyed it, but never saw the last 15 minutes.
Power outages due to lightning, lightning capital of the world (oh joy). I hope that I'll see it again someday. I was excited to see that the Sci-Fi channle started an anime-monday. I wash they'd make it Monday-Friday. DirectTV does not have an anime channel. G_d save us from thees heathens who run the show! Anime is the thing, more and more channels have some anime on at least 1 time a week. I would pay the extra $10.00 a month to have an anime channel... May the G_ds smile down upon the anime fools who hold out hope.
Sorry got off topic there. I enjoyed the art, the story line, the whole package. It was a good anime show that should be shown again. Perhaps we'll both be lucky and it will be shown again soon.

I think that people overlook "Blue Submarine No.6" too often. Even though it is only 4 episodes they manage to pack in an amazing story into it. The visuals are just stunning and the music is just as great. Theres not much about it that anyone can say anything negative about it...I think. ^^;

Its nearly a decade old and I believe that its still one of the best out there. Thats GONZO for you.

this Yoko Kanno is really amazing because Escaflowne is one of the animes that stunned me completely with its music only let alone its unbelievably great story .. it's of the best anime stories i ever saw till now .. and i'll try to see the "Genesis of Aquarion" as soon as i can because from what you said it can't be other than great like Escaflowne
