Hey guys I just found this site today and for some reason I just had to join the forums. I don't watch much anime, but it's been one of those things I'd like to get more into. At the moment I'm fixing to watch Evangelion since it seems like the Godfather of anime, from what others have said.

Welcome to the Tavern! I take it from what you've said that you haven't actually seen any Studio Ghibli films yet? In that case, I think you should get started as soon as possible!

Miyazaki (the main Ghibli director) tends to make two kinds of films: simple ones about childhood naivety, and fantasy epics. Spirited Away is a good choice to begin with as it's somewhere in between.

There are other Ghibli directors too, with different styles, but I do think you'd be best starting with Miyazaki.

Thank you for the welcome. I got sidetracked and now I'm watching Death Note. The first episode is great

hi... Good choice with Death Note, amazing ! I'm relatively new too but I like it, there seems to not be too much 'clique-iness' here as there are on some forums, they seem to remember they were new as well once, anyway hope you like it as much as I do Hey and if you're looking for good anime and don't mind the violence, well, it's a bit old but Fist of the North Star is pretty amazing too ...

Hello, Aeroflot and welcome to the Tavern... We all hope that you stick around and post a long, long while...

I might add that is an interesting choice of user name. previt, cack du la, which is the closest I can get to the Russian pronounciation... basically a welcome... lol

anyway, again, welcome....

Same here XD
I only have seen a few anime movies (Origin, Paprika and a few others) and a part of Elfenlied and the series of Claymore, which I loved!

But it's hard for me since I don't know where to find all the anime/buy..in Holland it's not really popular unfortunately

Anyways, enough babbling...welcome at the tavern, have a nice stay!

I managed to understand most of that Russian. Even if some of the alphabet conversions seemed a bit awry.

three languages I was interested in while I was growing up were Japanese, Russian and German... I know a few words of each ( sigh) but know a lot of Spanish words, I'm just not fluent, mainly because of a lack of opportunity to practice I think...

the Russian I learned from a former neighbor

@Sigy

It's a lot better than I thought it would be. I'm not too far into it -- only a couple of episodes -- but everything is moving so fast that it's making me suspicious that something bigs gonna happen really soon.
