Well don't forget that in some groups... blood and violence is all you are going to get

I remember one friend and the ONLY animes he would watch, and his friends, were all the gore ones. Elfen Lied, the anime about killer little girls and bullet proof wooden tables, and stuff.

There is STILL this anime from my childhood that I am never going to be able to tell what it is (in fact it could be two movies)

The one about the killer little girls was probably Gunslinger Girl. Which wasn't actually that gory, if I recall.

No elfen lied had little girls with invisible hands that blew up humans into blood.

That does actually sound like what happens in episode 1 of Gunslinger Girl now that I think about it. And the dates match, Elfen Lied 2004, Gunslinger Girl 2003-2004

Weird question. Why do you want/need to know?

Sword of the Stranger
Yet another thing I've been meaning to get around to. Don't know much about it, but from what I've seen the fight scenes look amazing.

I'd just be pissed if the entire 'call to adventure' was bullshit.

Well here is a obscure anime I don't know but I'd be VERY VERY thankful if anyone knew what it was (it is one anime that could actually be two anime)

One has a virtual popstar AI... but they find out it actually has no AI it is actually a real singer

Another has a scene where a war is starting to the military actually orders all the food in a super market and actually says to buy anything that is edible... (COULD be the same movie)

It also has a Plane that they digitally enhance and it becomes two different aircrafts.

Macross Plus OVA, Sharon Apple was the virtual singer. Though no wars occur in the OVA, the main action plot is about test pilots who used to be friends but are now working for rival corporations involved in selection for the next-gen fighter.

There probably is another anime your thinking of too, though Macross Plus matches the virtual singer plot line and has planes.

Macross Plus, Sharon apple

EDIT: unless there's another sci-fi anime that uses that plot.

I'll add that it is a anime movie.

Macross Plus: Movie Version

There are sort of no aliens in it... or space travel really...

Also the music includes some weird chorus that plays a lot in it.

I'm currently enjoying the Guyver OVA. On ep 3 at the moment, but it's catching my interest because it's an oldschool badass anime, and I can shout "GUYYVAHH!" at the beginning of every episode, which just makes it much more enjoyable.

I have the Persona 4 anime in my possession, but every time I think of starting it up I remember how distasteful the game was at parts. Like, at certain parts of the game I was just clicking past the dialogue as fast as possible with my head held in my hand, it was just so painful to even read. It was really only the side stories present in the social links that made the game really enjoyable, and I don't know how much the anime will emphasize those touching little arcs, as opposed to the headdeskingly irritating "IMMA GET YOU BAD GUY CAUSE I'M THE GOOD GUY AND I GET THE BAD GUYS"-type dialogue that occurs in the main story.

Then there were other parts that just whored out whatever anime cliche that the creators probably picked out of tvtropes that day, such that at times I'm remarking to myself that "This is a jambayala of weeaboo cliches made into game form". It was really distasteful, in short.

I'll probably just remove it from my roster if the first episode doesn't immediately wow me.
