I'm curious to know how many anime folks out there are console gamers as well. I primarily want to see their preferred console of choice, the games played, and the anime watched. Let's see if there is a trend to be discovered.

As for myself, I own a Gamecube because most of the games offered were simple to pick up and yet the gameplay is surprisingly deep.

Games currently being played:
Mario Kart: DD,
Super Smash Brothers Melee,
Viewtiful Joe,
Soul Calibur II


The anime I currently am collecting are, Last Exile, Maison Ikkoku, and Banner of the Stars II.

My favorite anime include:
Escaflowne (TV, hated the movie),
Cowboy Bebop (TV, hated the movie),
Macross,
Kare Kano,
all the Ghiblis published in the States (haven't seen the others yet).


I know this may be too much to ask, but PLEASE keep the flaming low.

Umm, I'm mainly a PS2 gammer, and play mainly RPGs, and stuff like Silent Hill.

Anime I like... I like... shoujo, supernatural, and anything with a good story. If it's crappy just fighting with no story at all, count me out. Same with fanservice with no story.

Devout XBox owner and anime fan. Current favourite games include Halo (of course), Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Soul Calibur II, Freedom Fighters, Shenmue II, Dead or Alive 3, Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Metal Gear Solid: Substance, GunValkyrie, and I am eagerly awaiting the releases of Halo 2, Full Spectrum Warrior, DRIV3R, Tenchu: Return to Darkness, Shenmue III, and Jade Empire. Very Happy

As for favourite anime...well...look up my name in the "My Anime" public lists and have a looksee at what I gave "Excellent" or "Masterpiece" ratings. Wink

Same here. I'm a PS2 person because it's the only console I own. Anime smallmouth I like GameCube, but I can't say anything about XBox because I've never played with it. I like fighting games (Soul Calibur II is currently my fav) and some first person shooters, like Halo. I love Guilty Gear X2 by the way!

pfft. Mad I want that game, but it's for Xbox. Xbox isn't to bad of a system but I'm not going to shell out that kind of cash. I have a PS2 and only play RPGs and Sports (well, most of the time).

I will watch just about anything as far as anime goes but my favorite storyteller right now it Rumiko Takahashi (I know she's repetitive) but I still love Inuyasha, Urusei Yatsura and the Ranma movies.

...

...

How come that sounds like an AA meeting intro?

...

Maybe it's just me.

It's on PC too, I think. Or heading that way.

I'm currently in an awkward moment, I just finished a game (Star Wars: Knights of the old republic) but haven't started another one Sad I'm currently watching my brain leak out of my ears after watching Narutaru, Chobits, RahXephon and Kiddy Grade in about a week.... and yes I have a lot of free time on my hands lately.

I have a ps2 and XBOX and plan on picking up a Gamecube in the near future. I have mostly been playing on my ps2 recently trying to go through Xenogears and Xenosaga, and I also am working through Halo on Legendary Mode.

Me, I'm a Gamecube and PS1 owner (I SWEAR on my life, I WILL get a fricking PS2). I'm big on RPGs, but for some reason I got a cube, oh well, HA HA HA HA...*sigh*. Anyways, right now I'm playing Final Fantasy IX (That's 9 right? I can't remember Roman numerals for the life of me)...

...and the games I want to get in the near future are

-The Zelda Collection disc (Zelda 1&2 Nes, and OOT, and MM for the N64), looks like I'm subscribing to Nintendo Power.
-Zelda: The Wind Waker
-Animal Crossing, and
-Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

(because everyone eles put it)

Right now, I need the last disc in Excel Saga before I complete my collecting it, and I just got Akira last night. After I finish up Excel Saga, I plan on collecting either Last Exile, or Hellsing (maybe you all would be so kind as to give me some direction).

I'm a PS2 person, mainly because of the many great racing titles they have for the system (which, no surprise, is what I play very often).

Currently, NFS Underground is what I've been playing, along with Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3. I might pick up R: Racing Evolution, although so far the only review it got was not-so-hot. I still find myself picking up GT3 every once in awhile.

I'm not much on action games or RPGs, but I put FFX-2 on my XMas list, well, because I could not think of anything else to get. It seems like an interesting game, tho.

Now anime: That stuff sucks, I don't watch any of that crap Laughing j/k

Primarily, I like mecha stuff: Gundam, Macross, Eva, etc. I also like Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and Trigun.
