well it could be possible. That if what his friend said is correct (which I'd agree with what his friend said more or less), it wouldn't be possible for him to include it in his top tier. Which makes sense kinda.

Granted... if someone told me to watch an anime about collecting space debris and a Naive young lady, and a hotheaded trash collector. And that this would be my favorite anime.

I would think they're crazy. And yet... the anime I roughly described is my favorite anime "planetes".

So i agree with you in a really convolvoluted way :P And Monster is in my top 10 despite the flaws I agreed with. :P

yea, Monster isn't exactly an "easy to get" series (and quite different to other anime), which is why I think you really have to watch it in order to judge it

and planetes is an excellent anime/manga, easily one of my favorites :)

I don't have a 'set in stone' opinion about it. From the very little I've seen and from what I've heard, it has too many issues to be considered in that top tier of anime. Just from what I've gathered. Again, I'm going to watch it at some point, but I generally trust most of the people I talk to about these sorts of things.

Fair enough..... hopefully your schema of things change after watching it.

I was wondering why is Outlaw star so under-appreciated! I pretty much see it in the same vein as Cowboy Bebop (Just started re-watching both of these animes)

I agree with you on Outlaw Star. It's magnificient. That's were half of my username comes from. Quite an excellent show and it belongs in my top 5 of all time.

The infamous episode 16 was actually aired here in Toonami uncut ~.-

I remember when it aired on the late night Toonami runs. Rather surprised what was cut out of the shows.

Kamal you got a " Best Anime Ever" like every week

Agreed Ive watched outlaw star like 5 seperate times. I deem it as where my love for sci fi animes/games came from.

You just gave me a great idea for a thread ^.^

Should it be about Berserk or Fist of the North Star?
