Why ain't you got the option for both? I have a DVD player and a VCR, since I'm not about to go around buying all my old films on DVD just for the sake of it.

I dunno,I forgot. I cant edit a poll so thats all the option there is. Why would you watch old films ?. I never watch old film with my DVD players. I dont even purchase it for my VCR. I just watch new released and last year released.

WHAT?! You deliberately don't watch anything that hasn't been released in the last couple of years? So you're missing out on a whole load of great films that haven't been ported over to DVD yet? Jesus. That's some attitude. Plus, all my classic films that I've got on video at the moment - I can't afford to buy them on DVD at the moment, so have to make do with the VCR. Things like Deer Hunter, Scott of the Antarctic (which will *never* see a DVD release, IMO) and all the thing I recorded from the TV. The only thing I use my DVD for is Japanese films, since most Region 1 and 2 stuff is utter crap.

Looks like you slipped an extra word in there between 'that is' and '**** yall' - should have missed it out for the perfect description of DragonballZ <IMG SRC="smileys/biggrin.gif">

I have both, use vcr's for taping shows on tv and such, and to watch some of the dubbed dbz movies I have....(I cannot stand the american dubbing btw). I also own a bunch of japanese animation on vcr, and which I am not planning on buying for dvd in the near future, since it is quite pricey....(about 120 for the whole set of cowboy bebop, 100 for the oav set of ranma....quite a lot...) 
 
I have movies on dvd that I have bought on vhs. but some port overs still suck..they just release it for the sake of releaseing it. no improved quaility, no extras's..... 
 
I agree with Rich too, I dont think all the movies will be ported over to dvd.....if it will happen, it will be when vcr's are about to die

Do you other japanese anime?. Or you just like them american cartoon like scooby-doo and the flintstone ???????

Tell me something ..... have you seen any of the real Japanese anime? I mean the stuff you can buy over there in dodgy shops? I saw plenty while I was over there in December and believe me, it makes all that DragonballZ **** fade into comparison. I liked the original Manga stuff when I was a kid, but on the whole the only Japanese stuff I like is sashimi and Kitano films.

What do u think?. Iam Asian, Ive been watching japanese anime since I was a lil kid.

If you were watching the kind of anime I saw in Maebashi when you were a kid, your parents must have had some serious parenting issues to bring up.

No,I dont watch hentai ****. I watch all Akira Toriyama work .Samurai X and the Rurouni Kenshin series and all of Nobuhiro Watsuki's work. Black jack the series. There is a bunch of movies that I just cant name them all out but some of the good movie would be: 
X 
Akira 
Ninja scroll 
Bio hunter 
Grave of the fire flies 
Twighlight X 
Also have you seen shin angle the series??,too much hentai but it is very funny as hell.

shin angel or new angel...yes the 5 parter was pretty funny....overfiend or urotsukudoji (sp) had an interesting story line...even if ya remove all the hentai....

I would'nt have enjoyed it without the hentai, and it would have only been a 15 (BBFC rating) so i'd have overlooked it. I only used to buy 18 rated anime (but not any more) - Akira being an exception. But i've grown tied of it now. Got into live action again, Hong Kong movies and all that sh1t.

U seen Iron monkey?..... 
 
well the hentai in overfeind was pretty hilarous....

SHAGGA · 03-31-2002, 09:01 | posts: 1,673 | Location: Surrey, England

No i've not seen that. I just think that Asians draw really sexy women. And they use college girls. 
They sum up the ultimate 'mans film' 
Blood 
Gore 
Action 
Sex 
Good Story 
Monsters 
Sex (with monsters). 
Sci Fi 
 
What more could you ask for. They should make a live action overfiend with Kate Winslet. 
I'd buy that!

GTa86 · 03-31-2002, 10:29 | posts: 8,264 | Location: North East USA

yep, u pretty much summed up the japanese anime hentai criteria..... 
 
hmmm I live action overfeind eh....id like to see that...with or without kate winslet..... 
 
Rent iron monkey...really good..I thouroughly enjoyed the fight scenes......very hong kong ish...
