Welcome to the second ever general discussion thread for our burgeoning community! I have been incredibly pleased at the quick growth in the number of usernames I have seen engaging with the community as well as the number of submissions being made. Thank you everybody for contributing and making this community great!

Like always, this is the thread in which you can say what you want or ask about any anime-related topic you desire! Excited about the live-action adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho? Interested in the teased anime series for Terminator and/or John Wick? Want to tell everybody about your theory explaining how Baccano! is actually a critique of capitalism? Well, this is the thread! Let it rip and have fun!

Just make sure to tag your spoilers! If you forget, then I will have to shout "It's Moddin' Time" and mod all over this thread.

Ah, Escaflowne. I should probably rewatch that at some point. I've got both the movie and the series DVDs around, so it's more a matter of when than if... I remember the movie being rather different from the series but it's been such a long time since I've seen either that I don't really remember the details.

Going back to different eras of anime can be neat. I've only got a couple shows and movies from the 80s and 90s though. The oldest I have access to right now is Lupin III (the first season from 1971, I think, plus the pilot from the late 60s) since it got a DVD release a few years ago. (I saw some reruns of Speed Racer and Hakushon Daimao on TV when I was kid but I don't have a copy.) Maybe I should sort my shows by age and try looking at the progression of styles over time. Hmm...
