I now that there are a lot people out there who are Anime addicts; thus, I ask, help me find good, free, online, english speeking Anime series. I've been searching for months and found loads of downlods, For Opening and Closing credits, scene snippets, and a bunch of reviews, NOT what I'm looking for. All I want is some free online anime that I can enjoy during school, while I'm supposed to be doing my work.
Please help me find good, free, downloadable, school approptate Anime. I'm looking for drawn or 3d.
By the way, Full Metal Alchamist, on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network) rules!!

For a start, no, cartoon network does not rule. What it does, i cannot say on a public forum. You americans may get cool stuff, but us brits get absolute s**t on Toonami, such as cut dragonball/z/gt, now i like uncut DBZ, but the other 2 suck. DB is watchable, but not when its cut.
And english anime sucks, i mean come on, what where 4kids thinking when they decided to make the guns fire water?, in one piece.
The only place to get anime is over crappy virus spreading programs like kazaa, and bit torrent, so i wouldnt bother, i would get them from DVD in japan.
Lastly, i dont quite think this has anything to do woth this site, but then, neither does the "what you want for christmas" thread :biggrin:

The voices for the English dubs of FMA suck so much. The japanese voices just seem to fit the characters more. And no, I'm not really that big of an anime nerd. I swear.

Anime is animated (hence the name) and is a term generally applied to
Japanese cartoons. The comic book form is known as Manga. I wouldn't
say ctrlaltdel is either of those, but it is still damn funny :smile:

The art is much the same (still very nice if you ask me though), but
the character and location designs seen in anime are normally far more
varied and extraordinary than you would find in any other form of
entertainment.

I dont know the site, but kaizoku fansubs do fansubbed One Piece, which is damn good.
Full metal alchemist is cool, but the american one sucks.

Yeah I wish we got AdultSwim too :sad: Most of the stuff on there is brilliant :razz: Especially like those random comedy ones like Space Ghost, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and SeaLab, they make me laugh so much :biggrin: So lazily animated and such stupid lines...
Anyone seen Akira? It's a fantastic movie, I suggest you watch it if you haven't :razz: Anime at it's finest.

I am an almost an ultra-nerd. The only thing holding me back is the
fact that I don't play Chess, don't enjoy learning, do not read or play
'card battle games' and do all the other things that stereotypical
nerds engage in.
I like being a nerd, and I embrace it. Long live the nerds pushes up thick-black glasses.

Multi-regions aren't that expensive, last time I was they were being sold in Argos for 25 quid :razz: Maybe it's just a one-off thing though.
And long live nerds indeed! :dorky:

Hey neural, ive seen AKIRA, ive got it on special edition DVD, it rocks.
Hey Vash, i dont wear glasses, but im more nerdy than you (is this a competition?)
Admitedly, i hate to learn, and chess bores me. But, i do play Card games, such as Legend of the five rings, Spycraft, and at a push magic. I even used to play yugioh (british champion :smile: )
I also engage in such activities as Dungeons & Dragons, more commonly reffered to by us nerds as D&D.
And to add to this list, i absolutly love anime, im such a big One Piece fan, i like a bit of cowboy bebop and Outlaw star too. Hikaru no Go i also very good, go is like chess, but more nerdy.
If you havent gathered by now I am a NERD :biggrin:
PS: Those sour little sweets called nerds, anyone remember them? They sucked.

Oof! D&D... the height of nerdiness. Yes, I've played it, but I didn't like it much! Well... it'd ruin my street cred if I said I liked it :razz: but that's not the point. The character sheets confused the poop outta me. And the skills? Eh...
Well at least I play teh guitar :razz:

NO, NOT THE DREADED SWIRLY!!!!!!!!!
High-School....prrrff. We call it "eeeuuurrgghh" or "Secondary" over here, and trust me, swirly (provided the thing is clean" would be heaven compared to the s**t i have to put up with from stupid townies, who can barely speak english, dude, one day, the townies in my area decided that they did not like me, thats when things got bad....
First thing to happen : Got the s**t kicked outta me by a group of people, landed me a week in hospital.
2nd: Egg's thrown at my house, many times oover.
3rd: Got my house broken into, and all my D&D books, and 5 rings cards torn to shreds, as well as several hundred pounds stolen from my mum.
4th: We had to move house.
And to this day, i have decided to grit my teeth, and be as freindly as possible to those with little brain matter, especially the ones that weild knives, "cos uverwize, i is gonna mash you up yo"
But, i maintain my proudness of being a very nerdy person (well i dont really)
I like doing that sort of thing, thats just the way i am.

All this started because , at the time i was a freind with one guy, i asked him if he wanted to play D&D, he didnt like it, told his bro, who told his mates, then the whole neighberhood didnt like me, just because i played something they thought was, uncool.
This is why sheep are sheep, because they all follow each other, and are stupid.

That sucks :sad:
Are they really that evil? I think I wouldn't be able to stand
something like that. Either I would do my best to beat the hell out of
those swines, or, move far away from that place.

Nah, that would be too clever on my part. I'm just trying to stick it to the Brits who pretend that favourite, colour and aluminium are correct. It's actually the downfall of their society, and shows why it's American offspring are so better off. We dropped the U's, picked up the torch of hegemony, and ran with it.

The website you're using doesn't allow for remote linking, so whenever you click it from this forum it's not going to work. If you copy/paste it into a new window it will work though.

one of my favorite animes is mononoke hime, definitely not
dubbed(ewww... billy-bob thorton). i just love the art in that movie.
Hellsing is also very cool! i have watched the series several times.
akira is best the second time you watch it, then it starts to lose its
appeal/coolness(i have watched it four times) i havent read any manga
though...
on the topic of nerdosity, i consider myself a nerd. i play magic when
i can find someone who plays. i <3 computers! i have some warhammer
40k(though ive never played, the models are cool and fun to paint).
people dont really mess with me though, i am pretty sociable, plus i
help people with their computers. anyway, i was semi-involved in an
anime club at my school(last we watched was wolfs rain, (subbed is a
lot better than dubbed) now im in a game discussion club. its not
really started yet, but we will mostly be discussing games(obviously)
as amateur developers and enthusiasts. being a nerd is something to be
proud of, being ignorant is not. eventually nerdism will be recognized
across the world and we will be idolized! power to the intellectuals!
(though at the current state of leadership and celebrity its seems
being ignorant isnt going out of style soon.)

I'm currently 110mb outta 660mb downloading Ghost in the Shell: Innocence at home. I'm on a 56k connection. The length of time spent dling it at a painful 3-5kb/s I could probably have someone in the USA dl it on a fast connection, burn it and post the damn thing. But then I'm lazy. :smile:

That wasn't a complaint, it was a "look how dumb i am" post. Its actually the first full movie I've ever downloaded, and basically I just wanted to download something large on a crap connection as a little challenge. I fully intend to by GITS:Innocence when it comes out over here, I don't consider myself as a thief. Its the same for mp3s I download, someone recommends a band, and I download a few tracks, then if I like them, I buy the album.
Don't be quick to snap or troll at my posts for the sake of making yourself look self righteous. You don't.
