I am trying to remember the name of a anime series I used to have on dvd but have since lost it.
The anime was based around these children who are born in to a small community and all have wings.
They have a duty to help out in the human village.
The series follows the life cycle of one these "children" who is born in to the community in episode 1 and is followed through till she dies.
Can't remember the name for the life of me.

Haibane Renmei?
-
correct! :-D
seems after sleeping on it I also remebered.
OK, here is an easy one.
Theres this boy who comes from a magical family, he gets involved in a love triangle.
One of the girls involved works at a cafe.
Name that anime!

The wonderful K.O.R. (Whimiscal Orange Road)
I actually crushed on Madoka when I was younger. I used to also have a T-shirt with her on it.
What's funny was I was so emotionally tied up with the movie (Where Hyosuke *FINALY* sleeps with Madoka at the end) I was almost driven to tears. A few years later, I was explaining the show's premise to my then-girlfriend. I talked about how the family all has magic powers and how Kyosuke was in love with a girl and was powerless to do anything about it dispite all the abilities he had.
I conviced her to watch the movie, only to realize that, in the end, no one even used thier powers al all! Not only this, it wasn't even mentioned in the WHOLE MOVIE.
My then-girlfriend thought it was the lamest cartoon in history because she was expecting magic powers and stuff.
Oh well.

Sounds a bit like FF7 :-D

Well cloud didn't come from a magical family, but I see what you are getting at.
OK, here is a more recent anime that I have been watching lately;
The show starts off with a couple, the girl loses her memory and the series relates to their journey trying to recover the lost memories (If that made any sense).
And here is an easy second one:
A girl goes back in time to the Feudal warring era of Japan. People believe her to be the reincarnate of a former priestess.
She soon finds herself teaming up with other characters to find of demons and bring peace to the era (as well as other stuff - which would give it away).
-
First one is Tsubasa.
Second one is Inu-Yasha.
-
Yep, easy wasn't it?
Here is one that came out last year in Japan.
Reality is not what it seems. The lead character is happily living out his youth in high school only to one day be shown that this life he has been living was only a simulation which repeats itself every year.
-
...Sounds like my life. :-D

That anime sounds awesome, I hope it has fansubs.

Zegapain is the anime, subbed originally by Megami Fansubs and the DVD version is being tackled by Shinsen Subs (but by their standards it will be verrry slow).
The Megami Subs have some very small quality issues near the end of the series (I think they wanted to get it over and done with so they could pack up and go home).
Check Anime-Suki they may have the torrents on their or check Baka-updates and they will have the torrents.
Zegapain is a fantastic sci fi anime with a fair share of Mecha and mind bending truths the fathom.
OK here is another anime to name:
The lead female cannot remember her past and constantly needs blood transfusions (as shown in episode 1), it seems as she was put into foster care by an unknown group.
As she learns about her past she realises she is less human than she originally imagined, and she is the only one who can stop her "twin" sister.
-
its blood+
-
a girl wakes up angry and kills people. she is hateful to all humans except one boy. she has a split personality who knows nothing of this world. if you still didn't guess it :evil: this might help.
-
I bet it's Elfen Lied.
-
Haven't seen that anime yet..

Its very funny i think, but also very brutal.
-
Well, I think "funny" isn't the best word to describe it. That anime has very few of comedy. Althought it has some really hilarious scenes. "Give me back my leg!!!" I laughed a lot with that :-D (but I wonder if that's what the authors actually wanted).
Beware, this anime has some extremly gory scenes (far more than what you could have seen in a Resident evil or a Silent Hill game). The first episode it's specially hard.
-
Pfff, watching NGE again from boredom, advice me a good anime pls!
-
Well, I'd recomend Trigun. It looks a bit goofy at first, but as the plot progresses, you can see a very intersting futuristic western story.
-
Already saw that one. Maybe something newer?
Thanks for the reccomendation anyway :D
-
Mmmm... maybe Gungrave? It's a good anime, but I hate gangsters, so I wanted the main characters to die all the time.

Fate/Stay Night
Thats all I can remember at 6 a.m
-
Bleach is very cool, but its boring that theres just one episode a week. Have you seen this week's episode?
-
Death Note is excellent, as is Samurai Champloo, but both of those are well known, so I'd guess you seen those as well?

I'm watching Death Note currently but never heard of Samurai Champloo, I'm gonna check it out, thanks! :D
-
Samurai Champloo is good fun, i've seen all 26 episodes in free-tv. Its worth checking out.
Btw: Where do you guys get animes from?

Mostly torrents from sites of fansubbing groups and everything that's registered (thus not subbed) I usually download a batch torrent when it's released or ask friends or if I must, I buy..
I hate being a poor student but I'm way too lazy to work -_-;
-
Bleach -like Death Note was- is a current anime still airing in Japan every Wednesday and is available for download with subtitles (thanks to Dattabayo) around 3-5am on Thursday morning (GMT time).

Yeah <3 I love subbers who don't quit even if they can busted :P Die-hards :D
-
I'm watching Zegapain at the moment and it's awesome, I'm only on the 13th episode and I'm hooked, kinda sad storyline though...
-
I really don't like the long boring animes. Bleach and Naruto are two examples of this in which:
No important character EVER dies.
The people who do die you don't care about.
Its basicly "I have to get stronger" all the time.
Stupid story after the first season.
The longest anime I enjoyed was Cowboy Bebop, only because it had GOOD fillers (Mushroom Samba, and the Lobster Monster) and that there were only three of them (didn't like the Teddy Bomber).
I enjoy reading manga more than animes, and they're like a better version of the animes in cases of storyline and usually artwork (however Elfen Lied's manga looked terrible in the beginning, and middle).
-
You'll like berserk then :D

You'll like berserk then :D
I actually read that and I liked it very much. Never bothered with the anime, and I like Griffith's helmet the most, and Femto was just awesome.

I think Femto is kinda ghey. Don't like the fact it takes 2-4 weeks till a new manga gets released..

Samurai Champloo was like that, same creators I believe. And it had even better fillers, the random undead episode and the baseball one.
-
Well, actually I'd say that Cowboy Bebop is nearly all filler. How many episodes actually belong to the main story? 6? Not that it really matters. Cowboy Bebop it's a great anime even without a solid plot line.
As for Bleach and Naruto, well, you are mostly right. They start strong, but as new plots keep comming you can see they are weaker every time and eventually you start hating the main characters.

Yeah, Zabuza (the guy with the bigass sword from the start) now that was an opponent :o

No you see why I recommended it, the storyline is totally outside of normal realms and thinks just keep bending in seemingly impossible angles.
InuYasha was probably the only Anime series I have seen that kept it going for so long (167 episodes I think plus 4 movies).
fair do there were 1 or 2 episode fillers from time to time, but like with Bleach you eventually catch up to the Manga Storyline.
When the anime reaches the current timeline of the manga series it can do one of two things;
1) End the Anime completely (Inuyasha), or
2) Put a whole bunch of fillers in and make a "arc/season" out of it (Bleach - Bunto Arc) so you can put the Manga story on hold for 40 episodes..
In all honesty I wish Inuyasha just took a 6 month break and then start up again..

Yeah it's also happening to One Piece atm, every scene gets stretched to the impossible, I'd rather have a good filler arc.\
(I thought the bounto filler in Bleach was a great filler sotry :o)

How was he gay? Oh yeah that one baron >.>
I think they messed up on some potentially good animes, like Gantz. They should have had some fillers there. It would have saved that show from extinction.
-
agreed, I didn't like how they ended gantz and I was very upset when I checked out the manga and saw that they had a dino chapter :-o, makes me sad that they ended it like that :cry: ....

The best thing the Gantz anime had to offer for me was a cool intro: Rip Slyme - Super Shooter

Rolling Star - Yui :
Bleach Intro 4. Pretty special I think.
