Unless you're the type that would enjoy pointing out every little difference with each episode, you can just watch the first, second, and last episodes of endless 8.

I feel like four episodes would be appropriate trolling length, but fuck watching all eight.

The best part was when the number of loops Yuki said they have been through starts to go over what she said in the book. I think it was the 3rd episode.

Well, if Endless Eight accomplished anything positive, it was to make me feel [spoiler]genuinely sad for Nagato, making it much easier to accept and sympathize with the breakdown that happens in Disappearance.  I mean, fuck.  She had to live through 15,532 episodes of Endless Eight.[/spoiler]

Go watch Umineko no Naku Koro ni. I never watched it, but it's a similar story made by the same people but in a different setting.

If you have the time for it I would seriously suggest just reading the Umineko novels instead of watching the anime.  I haven't seen it but the general consensus is that the anime is kind of garbage and does a really bad job at getting the story across.

Tenchi Muyo was my gateway anime

there I said it.

I love the series, even with all it's massive faults and Tenchi's inability to shove it in any of them. At least he shows a goddamn reason the girls fall all over him other than some Kietaro-esque MAGIC POWER OF PLOT

I bought the first DVD of Pioneer's Signature Collection of Tenchi Muyo off of Rightstuf's bargain bin. To say the other 3 DVDs are being a pain in the ass is understating it.

Amazon used sellers are demanding 30-50, even 60 a DVD. Yes I could just torrent them but I'd like to own something that had an impact on me in the palm of my hand.

Help from anyone please

Tenchi was always good for a laugh in that early 90's kind of way.

Given a lot of the OPAQUE SRS BUSINESS stuff I catch wind of now, silly retardedness like Tenchi and Ranma look pretty good.

It was El-Hazard and Ah! Megami-Sama for me. That is, if you don't count Samurai Pizza Cats, Dragon Ball or pretending not to watch Sailor Moon.

or pretending not to watch Sailor Moon.

LOL, oh yeah, I remember that. :hi5:

Man, I'm trying to remember what my "Anime Gateway Drug" was, but I can't. I know I want to say Ranma (since that's when I started understanding the term 'Anime' and specifically seeking out more Japanese-made cartoons), but I know for a fact that that wasn't it. Pushing it back further, I want to say Saber Rider (I'd say it counts as an Anime as much as Sailor Moon does), but I'm sure I'd seen something earlier.

It may in fact have been original early 80's-run Astroboy episodes.

Fun joke: The Japanese VA for Sailor Moon also voiced Excel of Excel Saga.  There was an episode that poked at American animation such as Disney, the Simpsons, etc, and there was an "In the name of the moon..." speech.  When she was called out on it, she angrily shouted, "HEY!  I was doing great with this stuff up until a few years ago!"

The dubbed version had Excel's VA do the same sort of gag, except it was "I wanted this part, but it was dubbed in Canada!"

Well, everyone watched Astro Boy when they were a kid. I think it was definitely Pokemon that got me wanting to watch stuff on SBS, Evangelion that got me going to the anime club and Rurouni Kenshin that turned me gay for Soujiro made me a fag.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAH

My local PBS station ran this in the late '80s, and also ran Tenchi Muyo / Evangelion / Please Save My Earth / Key The Metal Idol and others in the early/mid '90s.

Quote from: Yon Wikipediarrrrrrs
Starting in April 1981, KTEH started showing the British science-fantasy show Doctor Who, and continued to do so until January 2003. On April 10, 2007, KTEH resumed airing "Doctor Who" with the 2005 series starring Chrisopher Eccleston. KTEH has also aired another British sci-fi show, Red Dwarf. In 1998, KTEH and aired the entire season of Red Dwarf  VIII in one night. In doing so, many episodes were shown on KTEH before British television.

KTEH was also the first to air Neon Genesis Evangelion (rated TV-14, TV-PG, and TV-MA; subtitled) in America, as well as the Tenchi Universe (rated TV-PG, dubbed) TV series. These shows were later shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. Other anime that have aired on KTEH include, but were not limited to, Dirty Pair Flash (rated TV-PG; subbed), All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (rated TV-PG; subbed), Sakura Wars (rated TV-PG; subbed), Serial Experiments Lain (rated TV-PG, dubbed), City Hunter (rated TV-14; dubbed), Please Save My Earth (rated TV-14; dubbed), and Urusei Yatsura (rated TV-PG and TV-14; subbed).
