record of lodoss war is one of my first anime as a young adult & i appreciate the film's handling of the story, characters & visuals.

as for others, i'm not so into guys. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

talk of manga, have u read Ghost In The Shell manga? it's really multi-dimensional; thought provoking, philosophical, action-packed, politically intriguing, funny, etc ... . i cannot make comparison between the manga & anime & which is better but i love both for what they are; awesome. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Kyra, i recall u like those destructive-oriented animes & i thought; maybe she'll like Samurai X (also called Rurouni Kenshin) the OVA. the series are fun but too 'lite'. the OVA (depicts the beginning of the hero/anti-hero)is visually beautiful with lush colours & the story is powerful & yet sad. it's action, political intrigue, romance, vengeance, self realisation - all wrapped into one. it's a must-see.

egads, i did it again. that salesman pitch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
