    Who watches anime before they go workout? I DO!

    Team Gurren:

    You dumbass! kick logic out and do the impossible. Remember that. That's the way Team Gurren roles!!!

    Got to love animated motivation!

    If I had all of my anime out of storage I would watch it before I work out lol

    Gurren Lagann is the best for motivation. "I will believe in the me, that believes in us, humans and the future!"

    Not before workouts, but I do watch and enjoy anime. Some of my favorites are Claymore, Elfen Lied, Angel Beats, Heroic Age, Death Note and High School of the Dead.

    My people! I've been looking for you my whole life!

    Unfortunately, with 5 and 7 year old daughters who are ridiculously mad for Anime, I have to be careful about what I watch. Needless to say, we watch a lot of Miyazaki stuff, none of the more mature stuff. We watched Origin last week, which was pretty bizarre but visually lovely. Now I'm thinking I need to get into some other series' when they've gone to bed though! My 7 year old has been reading Manga and comics for a few months now. I don't even want to THINK about her getting into cosplay in another 10-15 years, ha ha! :cry: I love it though, she's such a proud little geek. If Sheldon Cooper was a 7 year old girl, that's my daughter.

    So what non-kid friendly series should I check out first? I've heard of both Bleach and Naruto, have not watched though. I started watching Cl'aanad a few months ago but got bored with it.

    I always have to recommend my favorite animes....Death Note and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. I love those two animes so much. they are not insanely long series so that is one thing and they are avail on netflix and hulu.

    I haven't... but I might fire up netflix on the phone while I'm at the gym later and try something new. :) Only regret is that it would be English dub. :(

    English dub isn't horrible on all of them. I preferred the english over the japanese voices when i watched FullMetal Alchemist

    Well, I went with the first couple of episodes of Darker Than Black while on the Arc Trainer last night. Not bad so far. :) Voices are a little annoying. I'll stick with it for a few more eps, then decide.

    One that had AWESOME English dubs is Last Exile. Holy cow, Lord Dio is ten times creepier in the English dub.

    I keep wanting to watch darker then black, but i've never been able to sit and get started on it. Apparently i need to sit down and get to watching it.

    Those two are EXCELLENT. Claymore and Berserk are awesome too!

    I couldn'tve said it better myself. Whenever I watch Bleach (subbed not dubbed) I feel pumped up. I think it's the music tho.

    i LOVE death note! which led me to love toda erika. i thought misa misa was annoying in the manga but absolutely adore erika's misa. i wish they'd do a live action series, too. XD

    should i watch claymore then? despite the ending? i like this other one... forgot the title but about a boy wanting to make japan bread. it started to drag towards the end, but i liked it. don't watch it if sweets are your weakness though, lol.

    They ended it because the manga isn't finished yet so I think they're going to make a follow-up Claymore anime when the manga ends. The manga only releases one chapter every month I believe so it'll be a while 'till then.

    I think it's still worth the watch. It's really good.

    Claymore was a great anime and worth watching....especially if you plan on reading the manga. the manga get's pretty intense from where the anime left off. I would definitely watch it. It's possible they might do to claymore what they did to FullMetal Alchemist. Make a semi stand alone and then when the series ends make the canon version.
