Okay so the title is goofy for a reason. We do have a member up here who responds to the shortened version of her screen name, "Anime Monster." So to avoid anything at all, I gave a goofy title. Plus it's fun.
Anyway, in short, here is where we can discuss any anime. Please be aware that there ARE underage members here who would rather not discuss specific content in some anime, so please be courteous about that. If you'd like to discuss a mature anime title with another member, I'd ask you take it to PMing or Instant Messenger to avoid conflict.
Same goes with spoilers: if you're discussing a title someone hasn't seen and would like to, please don't divulge spoilers to the series. I can't tell you how often that's happened to me and ruined an entire arc of say, Fullmetal Alchemist. References to said spoiler are okay depending on how obvious it is. Such as, if I said "Episode 25" in reference to Fullmetal Alchemist, then others who have seen the series to or past that point will know to what I'm referring. So please be careful about spoilers. Take it to PMing or IMing if you'd like to talk.
Unless our o, great Head Admin has a code for spoilers like some other websites do?
Those two things are the only concerns I have at the moment, so please be kind and follow them.
Anyway! So you can introduce yourself if you'd like, but tell us what titles of anime you enjoy, how many series you've seen, what you'd like to see, ask for recommendations on a series...whatever floats your little anime boat. I would start that trend but I'm too tired right now, so you'll get my spiel later.
Let the conversing begin!

Ri, I actually opened an entire board for Anime & Manga discussion, so I'm gonna move this there.
And I know there is some kind of code for that and I will try to find it once the holiday is over.

Yeah, you need to get that code. I've seen the first thirty episodes of FMA, about half of Fruits Basket, pretty much all of Naruto up until the fillers started, (can't stand fillers, unless they help the plot in some way, but come on! That was ridiculous!), a few episodes of Ranma 1/2, and I barely remember anything about them. But I have seen all of Chobits, and I pretty much remember all of that, although I heard the manga was a lot better.
Sorry, got sidetracked. Yes, you need to get that code. It'll come in handy.

I've seen FMA all the way through a couple of times. It takes me a couple days to watch it, but it's great; I love it so much. Hopefully you can find the episodes you're missing Neb.
So what I'm currently trying to watch is Trinity Blood. It's one of those I don't watch around my parents because they won't like the vampires in it, but it's still a cool series. I've only seen the first four episodes, though. ^^;;; I'll get there with it....

I watched Trinity when it came on on saturday nights on Cartoon Network a couple of times. I really liked it, it was all gory and stuff lol. Not to mention I loved the theme, I mean, vampires and the vatican lol.
I got a couple of the episodes that I was missing, and now I just need 3, 16, and 40 in Jap with Eng subs.
What I remember of FMA was really awesome. I remember wanting to make an AMV out of something or another, but then my hard drive crashed and I forgot lol.

I've made a few AMVs for FMA. It's fun. The subbed version of FMA is nice; I honestly prefer it over the dub if given the choice (actually, depending on what medicine is in my system and how tired I am is the deciding factor but still), but I enjoy both thoroughly. I've met the voice actors for Ed Elric (Vic Mignogna; he's a really nice guy), Alphonse Elric (Aaron Dismuke; he was kinda quiet when I met him, but he's a real sweetheart too. He's really tall o.o), Barry the Chopper/Number 66 (Jerry Jewell, also Kyo Sohma in Fruits Basket. Jerry was asked to do a line from Kyo and he said, "I only have one line that's a staple as Kyo that turns heads in a crowd. '....DAMMIT!'" It was so hilarious), and Frank Archer (Troy Baker, also Abel Nightroad in Trinity Blood. He's also a big sweetheart). Aaron also played Young Akito and Hiro in Fruits Basket. Mustang's (FMA) voice actor was supposed to be at my latest con, NekoCon, but he had "traveling difficulties", aka he bailed out...why I dunno, but it made me sad. But anyway. As for the anime I've seen, it's a bit...not a lot, but still a decent amount for me. I've seen all of Fruits Basket, and I agree that it should have continued....I know some voice actors would be on to continue it. I've seen MOST of Gundam Wing/AC; all of Fullmetal Alchemist; some Bleach; Rurouni Kenshin; Princess Princess; Gravitation (yes, I know it's yaoi/shounen-ai, but I'm not a huge fan of it...); Loveless (another shounen-ai, leave me alone people); Chrno Crusade; and some random episodes of miscellaneous others. Oh, I also met the English voice actor for Hiro in Gravitation. He's a nice guy. But anyway. I blame my addiction to anime and manga on my best friend....I was more into manga at first before getting into the anime. The first manga I bought was Rurouni Kenshin. The first anime I watched was Gundam Wing/AC when it played on Toonami (I miss those days), and I also watched Tenchi Muyo and some DBZ (though my parents didn't like it, nor Sailor Moon) then too. But that was before I knew what anime was... My first conscious anime was Fullmetal, I do believe. Good stuff there.

Lol, that's really cool. It sounds like those are a lot of fun.
I've actually seen episodes of most of those, (even Gravitation lol), except for loveless. Never even heard of that.
Rurouni Kenshin was one of my favorites when it played on Toonami, WAY back when I was in fifth grade... God, almost six years ago *tears up* I miss those days too. *sniffle*
Quite honestly, God help us all, the first anime I can ever remember watching was Sailor Moon. I was five and it was one of the scenes where Darien kisses Serena by the park bench. All I remember is "GROSS!!!!"
Ironically, Sailor Moon was the secondanime I ever conciously got into, right after Pokemon. (I was seven people, come on!)
One of my best friends got me into Sailor Moon back in Elementary when all of my friends were girls. (I didn't like how guys were always so 'tough'. It irritated me. Besides, it's easier to get along with girls in grade school). Man, I miss Megan. I haven't seen her in years.
