Random Anime thoughts:
* Giant Robo is coming to R1 DVD! It's an odd mix of retro-style, hyper-action, and high drama. The amazing thing is how well everything fits together. I usually describe it as 'Johnny Socko meets the X-Men' or 'a cross between UltraMan and Gotterdammerung'.
* Disney is supposed to be releasing a couple more Miyazaki films on R1 DVD soon: Porco Rosso, and Nausicaa. I've heard that the release date has been pushed back to coincide with the release of the next Miyazaki movie, Howl's Moving Castle. It would be nice, though unexpected, for Disney to decide to have theatrical releases for both Nausicaa and Porco. If you can't wait for the Disney releases, there are two R-zero, export collections of studio Ghibli releases. Between the two of them, they include all of Miyazaki's movies up through Mononoke.

Anime I've Seen:
Akira: Who hasn't? I hear the live action movie planned has been canceled.
Metropolis: Didn't really like it.
Ghost in the Shell(Movie): A classic. The new movie comes out soon. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347246/
Perfect Blue: Interesting horror flik.
Record of Lodoss War (13 ep version): Love this one. Pirotess rocks.
Cowboy Bebop: By far my favorite anime of all. Oh, how I wish they would make more. Anyone else agree with me?
Trigun: Saw a few eps, didn't really care for it.
Princess Mononoke: Quite decent.
Excel Saga: Funniest anime ever. Hi-larious. A must see.
Puni Puni Poemi: Very demented. But funny.
Inuyasha: Saw one ep. Hated it from then on.
Rurouni Kenshin: Seen a few eps, plan on seeing more.
Side note: I hear there are plans in the works for a Neon Genesis: Evangelion Movie.

So here's a question I want to put up for discussion. What anime would you most want to see made into a live action movie, and who would you cast as the charaters?
For me, it would be Cowboy Bebop. Of course it would have to take place sometime after the last movie but before the ending of the series. As a cast....not really sure who I'd put as who. But I do think casting a good Ed would be next to impossible.
anyone else?

The live Evangelion movie has been in the works(on and off) for years. It looks like they are finally getting started on it for real but there are so many rumors flying around I have not heard anything reliable. Trivialbeing keeps up on it the most.
I'd like to see Lain made into a live movie. That would be the freakiest movie ever made.
I've added 'Full Metal Panic' to my Netfix. Anyone seen it?

Well, I really like Big-O, I'd love to see that live action.
Roger - Ewan McGegor
Angel - Charlize Theron
Dorothy - Claire Danes
Norman - Ian McKellan
Scwarzvald - Brad Pitt
I think the largest issue when casting for an anime is that 90% of the characters are in their teens. Not a large list of actors to fill the shoes.

The question I'm throwing up is what is some of the most Obscure Anime out there?
and to the person looking for anime with strong female figures I only saw the first Ep but you might want to check out Kaleido Star. I think thats a show that will be moving up to my other list once i get the first disc

Depends on what you mean. The anime which makes it to North America or Europe -- even as fansubs -- is only maybe 10-20% of the total. There is also a strong selection effect: anything too weird or parochial for non-Japanese audiences is unlikely to make it.
So if you're asking, "What's the most obscure anime currently available outside Japan?" I vote for Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (alias Quiet Country Cafe).

Sorry I'll norrow the scope a bit.
Let's go for released outside of japan. while it would more then likely make a great discussion to discuss those truly unique titles that stay on japan's shore, getting even the more popular stuff like One piece and Naruto is something of a pain.

I just saw the first 4 episodes of Full Metal Panic. It's kind of strange but kinda good at the same time. If that makes sense. There isn't alot of background info introduced but the story is still interesting.

No one has seen this I'm sure. But I really want to support my favorite anime "Berserk". You have got to check this one out. The anime is very good, good animation. It's very dark, and don't look for a lot of humor, look for a lot of action. But it's not just a blood fest, this is very character based. It's set in the past with swords and arrows and all those good things. Unfortunatly the anime only covers so much of the manga.
The manga started in the 80's and they're still making new ones. So the anime is just the tip of the iceburge for the story. Check "Berserk" out.
