Fist of the North Star
"Trendsetter"
Fist of the North Star is a must see!
I believe there are at least 5 titles every serious anime fan should watch and Fist of the North Star is one of them! Fist of the North Star is great! It may fall down a little with the storyline but the overall action will leave a lasting impression on you - believe me when I tell you - It shocked the pants off me when I watched it as a young teenager. It literally set the trend and I think it continues to do so. Just keep in mind its vintage anime (1980's)and it doesn't look as flashy as the new stuff but what it lacks in appearance it makes up for with blood and gore. I had no idea you could make an exploding brain look so real. The good thing about this anime is that it continues to be reinvented and you'll find there are remakes of it all over the place.

Ninja Scroll
"Influential"
Ninja Scrolls is ahead of the class! Forget Naruto! This is what anime should be all about!
Ninja Scrolls is a Classic anime! It is a rock solid and lets be fair and honest, most of the popular animes today like DBZ, Naruto, Pokemon and Bleach are school-girl bubblegum scraps compared to Ninja Scrolls. I'll admit it Ninja Scrolls can be disturbing but this anime makes an impact! It has solid characters, a great storyline and more than anything it doesn't have the repetitive theme of "fight to get stronger and then take out the bad guy" followed by stupid fillers. I believe that if your serious about anime -Ninja Scrolls, Fist of the North Star and Akira are must see titles that are influential! But if you can't handle blood, mature themes and twisted violence maybe its best you stick to Naruto and Bleach!

Aurelian Jake Smith
"Childhood favorite"
Electrifying!
For a pro wrestler, Jake "The Snake" didn't have the body or the build for it, he didn't have any highflying stunts or tricks up his sleeve but one thing in his favor was the fact that he was just plain CRAZY. He stunned,stupified and terrified fans! He was a great showman, in some ways he puts Rick Flair's stint to shame - you couldn't distinguish between Jake the Person and Jake the Wrestler - He was just crazy and that's what made him so good in the ring. He amazed me and he is easily one of my favorite wrestlers. It's been since admitted that he took "recreational" drugs -no steroids for this guy he was doing Crack - which would p explain the erratic behavior. He was a speeding train wreck on fire and that's what made him so great to see!

"Childhood favorite"
He is my Childhood Hero!
The undertaker continues to amaze and daze! Back in the day he was one of my favorite wrestler, no one could beat him, no one could mess with the Dead man and get away with it. He pushed the sport and he will always be remembered for the contribution he made. But more so he will always be remember because he just plain kicked a$$! He took some serious knocks and throw downs but he always came out the victor and that is what we expect from him - to always win. I'm a little worried since his career has spanned decades and I feel his retirement may be here sooner than we think. I'm not saying he should but considering the job and the risks involved maybe its better if he got out now rather than later. BUT HE will always be the greatests!

Earth: Final Conflict
"Why did I watch that?"
The storyline was a strange tangle of confusion and mystery...
For the life of me, I just couldn't understand why this show was so hugely popular at the time. The storyline was a strange tangle of confusion and mystery and to be honest I was curious for a long time as to where the plot was going. That's why I watched it... The story never seemed to go anywhere and it always ended on a strange note. It was always unresolved - I like finality and that's why I never could watch this show and be satisfied about it. The show always seemed to DRAG on for hours - I never could enjoy it.
