Just because a show was good for a time doesn't mean it needs to be watched today for any reasons other than nostalgia or historic value. Seriously, when was the last time you saw "Gone With the Wind"? And for that matter, lets look at a couple contemporaries (two really good ones of the time): Gundam 08th MS Team and Lupin III. These two animes are immeasurably better in both animation and story quality, and both were made before 1987. So I ask you: why are inferior animes getting the limelight? Just a thought.

DUDE! When does the chobit series come on?!?!?

i'm sure all anime fans have been asked this at some point, but it makes for interesting discussion:

do you prefer subbed or dubbed?:)

Subbed.
Dubtitled films are infectedwith bad acting.

Subbed... Dubbed usually leaves the feeling out. Watching Eva dubbed on DVD was almost painful. Things just didn't sound as they should.

i'm a huge anime fan... currently i have about 125gigs worth, and about 13 dvd's...

my favs are (not in any order):
ah! my goddess
hand maid may
chobits
love hina
onegai teacher
azumanga
to heart
evangelion
armitage iii

*notice a pattern?

Why subbed or dubbed? Japanese is not too hard to learn.

WHEN DOES CHOBITS COME ON???

i love Princess mononoke
and sakura card captors!

:DD

sakura is the cuttiest anime girl ever!

it's not in the us yet... it comes out 3/11

I love Metropolis!! It was the first true anime that I have seen and I thought it was cool. I did think that it was just a modern version of the classic silen movie of the same name and was mistaken, but it was cool none the less.

As for Dragonball and the rest, the fight scene animation is truely awful. The fact that they have trailing lines behind a character during movement is really annoying. The only place that there is a need for that is in printed comics to show movement. Just my 2cents.

Probably not. I'm bi-lingual as is, so learning another language shouldn't be that hard. But for now I prefer Subbed. Dubbed is okay, but the actors in Japanese sound as the artist originally intended. It has more feeling.

Later

I haven't really been exposed to much anime but it seems pretty cool. The drawing style alone is awesome. Im a final fantasy freak.lol does that count?

Not really; there's a lot more in the way of thought in Animes. Of course, some gaming never hurts. While the FF plots are just as intricate and nearly as long as most animes, the brain isn't worked quite so much in the philosophy area.
