Back to Sloatsburg's Original remark: I lifted this from one of my Anime Magazine (Animerica Volume 8, Issue 10):
"Yamato: the Yamato was a real battleship launched by the Japanese during Worls War 2. Touted as their ultimate warship, it was sunk quite quickly... but in the future it will rise again! Retrofitted with Alien Technology such as a wave motion engine and a unstoppable wave motion Gun, it would go on many voyages.... and thanks to a very jumbled continuity, be destroyed many more times. Still, it's the ultimate spaceship in all of anime - Japan's 'U.S.S. Enterprise' if you will. In the American dub Star Blazers, it was called the 'Argo'."
As for me personally, my favorite anime Is Rurouni Kenshin (called "Samurai X" in the dubbed English version). Comedy, action, very good. The OVA Series of Kenshin is, in my opinion, the Greatest Anime EVER. Plus, since it is a stand alone, you dont have to be familiar with the series to enjoy it. If some of you people have Direct Connect (Look at my thread in the Geek Zone), I'll glady share it with you.
