I've got two new ideas for forum tournaments! Here me out on this, please:

Best Original Soundtrack

From Yoko Kanno's Wolf's Rain and Cowboy Bebop, to Yuki Kajiura's Madoka to Kenji Kawai's Fate stay Night, there's been a lot of good anime soundtracks? But which one is the best?

Best First Episode

The most important thing in anime is a good first impression. You don't want to scare off your audience with a bad first episode, don't we? For me, Kill la Kill and Death Note had fantastic first episodes. But are they the best of the best?

What do you guys think?

We actually did Best First Episode a few years ago (Moribito won.). IIRC, Best OST has traditionally been rejected because it's too subjective.

i saw an OVA a few months back

it's about robots.. but the size is similar to that of Angelic Layer series

the OVA starts out with a female robot being chased through the forest.. both were flying and then she was shot down

later a boy found her hanging on a tree.. took her home and fix her

they can do battles with other players by putting the robot dolls in these machines (about the size of a table football

i think later they fought it about against some much bigger robot in some lab..

does anyone here know the name of this OVA any chance?

i can't seem to find ..

any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I was at Otakon this weekend, and since I have an interest in the art and process of animation, I bought a 'grab bag' random assortment of cels and douga.

I don't recognize the series for any of these, so I'm posting them here to ask if anyone knows what they are:

The helmet in #3 reminds me of the Patlabor helmets, but I can't be certain.

And the character in #1 reminds me of a fighting game character. I don't think it's the Street Fighter anime, but maybe one of the Fatal Fury movies?

Thanks guys for the IDs!

As for the third one, I initially thought of Patlabor as well from the helmet, but the character design doesn't look right for that to me, and the particular character does not look familiar either.

Does anyone know who the character is? I tried to paste it here, but my computer wouldn't let me. Sad

I think that's Makoto from Minami-ke but I haven't watched the show so I can't fully confirm.

That might be because the link that you used was for the entire web page, not for just the image.
The URL for the image is:
http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/201308/19/67/f0253467_21242529.jpg

If you use that it should work,

That is indeed Makoto (Mako when cross-dressing). Makoto frequently picks his nose when conversing.

Thanks everyone! I thought the character looked familiar. I'm using a website called Puni Puni Japan to help me study Japanese, and they love Minami-ke. Huh.
