anyone know these series?

Argento Soma (also AΠHENTO ΣOMA)
dont really remember this series.

I never gave it a watch. I rememer thinking about checking it out in '04 or something but never got around to it.

Betterman
all i remember about this series was the massive amount of mind that it was. lots of ecchi fanservice from the main girl characters though, minus the obligatory lolicon... i digress. i loved the main girls hairstyle ... and her brother was badass

Another Sunrise series? Yeah, I remember Betterman. I probably still have it on my old hard drive too.

BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad
awesome. manga was worth the 101 chapters and the 26 episodes of the anime. sure the manga had no music, which was ironic for a series about a rock band, but the songs from the anime, both in japanese and english were sick. plus theres some fan-made ones out there (

) much love i have for it.

Beck is awesome, really. I usually recomend this anime to people when they're out of ideas on what type of anime they're into.

Rurouni Kenshin
just another anime about feudal samurai? nope, nuh uh. its been a while, but from what i can recall, the story was very moving, and guy that had the shirt with "evil" on the back was pretty badass. series' last arc was when kenshin fought that bandaged guy, right?

Indeed, I remember buying the subbed VHS tapes of this series before it aired on Cartoon Network. I don't like how they basically went with a ton of filler episodes in the end though, kinda annoyed me. Then I felt that it ended so suddenly.

That said, I did give the manga a read and enjoyed it.

FF:U (Final Fantasy Unlimited)
yes, i am a nerd, and i bought the boxed case of this series. and i still watch it to this day. i mean, i LOVE the art style, its just... to me. just... sure the plot was confusing at first, and it took me some research to figure out the backstory, but i enjoyed the series as it was presented. plus, Madoushi.

Never saw this one.

Excel Saga
...this series, really mean this, speaks for itself. its like, its a self parody of a parody. theres just too much here. its awesomeness injected with heroin laced with crazy zany action comedy. plus, Afro-shin. 'nuf said.

Excel Saga is a very random show. It's also one of the few series that I watched the dub for after watching the original. I have to say, the dub worked in the jokes better than the subs, and it was nice not seeing a paragraph of Excel's dialogue on the screen at once. I like how much of an impact they left off with in the final episode.

Give Puni Puni Poemy a try if you like Excel, it's by the same director. It's only 2 episodes, but it's very much like Excel Saga.
