Holy necroposting, Batman! :p

I'm usually the first one to admit he hates anime (Avatar notwithstanding, though I don't consider that true anime). That being said, I do enjoy the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai shows. Same thing really, except live action.

I laughed when I saw this, one of the first threads I ever made I think.

It's funny how your tastes can change in five years... though I will say, I did get into that Avatar show from Nickelodeon, highly recommend it. But I don't have much time for Anime anymore, school and robotics and all your other interests begin to take precedence.

Re: Anime!
 

No, Eddie. I will have to contend that I am the first person to say he dislikes anime, very much. Most foreign cartoons/shows annoy the crap out of me. Drawings that look like they've been created by someone with a mix of an overdose of e and sugar definitely count among the highest of my annoyances. No offense to those that like the stuff, this is just my opinion.

Re: Anime!
 

You also have to keep in mind that it's originating from a completely different culture. I've studied Japanese culture in my spare time every now and then, and their culture is worlds apart from ours. It only makes sense that their cartoons would be too. Same goes with anything imported from China, Korea, etc. It works over there, but you really have to be into it for it to work for you over here. As you can tell, I myself am really not into anime, but I do enjoy the modern cowboys in insect-inspired armor saving the world one kaijin at a time. :D

Re: Anime!
 

I'm into some anime. Mostly Initial D (although the manga is far past the anime now) and I kinda like Naruto but I'm not a crazy fan like most people on my team.

Unfortunately I have to watch ID subbed because Tokyopop ruined the dub by replacing the music :( I usually watch anime dubbed but if the dub is poorly done then I'll watch it subbed. I do hate how some dubs leave out certain Japanese terms and honorifics though, especially if they are important to know in order to watch the anime...

I hate how some anime fans think "all dubs are bad" because they obviously haven't seen some series' dubs. Slayers for example has an EXCELLENT dub.

Totally Love it! can't get enough of it! (or any other Japanese related things)

Re: Anime!
 

Anime is the reason why I used to have a friend who has long hair that he never washes...

We don't talk anymore... at all.

Re: Anime!
 

Anime is basically the only thing thats in my queue on Netflix. I like me some good Full Metal, Akira, Trigun, anything made by Hayao Miyazaki(yes that is spelled right),and much more.

Re: Anime!
 

I've been getting into Black Lagoon recently.

Re: Anime!
 

Black Lagoon's good, too bad Geneon stopped their distribution before they could release the 2nd season :(

Re: Anime!
 

I havent seen that series. Darker Than Black is a pretty good series though. And for all who have seen Air Gear..... do you think the ending sucked?

Re: Anime!
 

i like drawing anime personally... i find that much more fun than actually reading the comics.

but i am addicted to avatar. it's scary how much i love that show.

i'm partial to black cat, bleach, and fruits basket as well.

Re: Anime!
 

Initial D is probably my favorite Graphic Novel series, the CGI in the anime is horrible though. I also like gundam wing and gundam after war X
