I like some anime.

I have been known to watch Serial Experiments: Lain, Cowboy Bebop, and some Eva...

I don't particularly like it when people just off and offend anime, perhaps I should make it a point to say "[insert activity here] sucks" whenever someone brings up something I dont like... oh wait, I already do...

/me cries

[Chris Nowak]

I'm a big anime fan
Eva's pretty cool, I also Like Hellsing, Love Hina, Bebop, and way too many more to list

[DanLevin247]

I strongly disslike it. Too many bright colors.

Anime is the best! So far I have seen Evangelion (the best), Love Hina, Serial Expirement Lain, Comic Party, To Heart, FLCL (strangest anime ever), Trigun, Escaflowne, 1st season of Card Captor Sakura, and Princess Mononke. I have seen all of this in Japanese with subtitles. I am hoping to see even more anime by the time school starts. Anyone interested in talking to me about anime, contact me over AIM at my screen name puzz3dmaster. Oh, and on one more note, SUBTITLED ANIME IS BETTER THEN DUBBED ANIME. Sorry I just had to bring that out. (Thinks I will regret saying that.)

I started off watching what ever was on TV: DBZ, Tenchi, Gundam Wing. then I started going to stores and buying some of the stuff I had'nt seen. I got hooked on Bubblegum Crisis 2040 tokyo for a while then moved in to The slayers series, Martian Susscesor Nadescio, and Power Dolls II. Then Outlaw star strted up on TV I got hooked on that all the time keeping up with my fave DBZ. My friend dhowed me the movie Vampire hunter D that was good. then I rented the one about blood ninjas, it was really gory, but good cell animation. And when ever Princess Mononke cam on the movies channels I watched cause The voice talent is great and the cell animation is the best I've seen in years Oh yea I also love Gunsmith Cats<----- Very good. If I think of any more I let you know.

*pops a couple of pills to Rob*
Calm down Rob

Anime is cool. The very first time i saw anime was when i saw Robotech. Thats when i was sucked into the anime world.
I currently like Evangelion, FLCL, Cowboy Beebop, Trigun, Love Hina, Gundam (some series), Princess Mononoke, and Galaxy Express 999 (one of the best movies ever made IMO)

Here's something satyrical for you anime fans I saw the other day on Somethingaweful.com: Guide: "Making Anime"

Disclaimer: It's not exactly X-rated, but it's not exactly G-Rated either. I trust you'll be mature enough to make the right choice about that link.

[Rob Ribaudo]

Dan, I don't like it when someone talks about anime wrong like that. That only seems to aplly to the anime they show in America and not the one I have watched in Japanese with subb titles. It is the same as saying a FIRST Robot is like a Battle Bot and I know you don't like it when someone says that.

[edit](Just for the sake of not having so many post next to each other in this thread.)
Anyone who wants to discuess anime, the meaning of it, the point of watching it with sub titles or dubbed, or anything else IM me over AIM at the screen name puzz3dmaster. I will try my best to answer any questions anyone would have.[/edit]

that is funny. I dont get what the big deal is with anime. What is the point of watching characters were there mouth movements dont even match the words that they are "saying"??? I mean come on it is just a little rediculous especially if there are subtitles and the spoken words are all in Japanese I personally wouldnt want to sit there trying to read all the subtitles while the show is going on and you probably cant even read the subtitles fast enough and still pay attention to the action before the next set come along so if ya ask me normal cartoons from AMERICA are much better than anime from Japan or anywhere else

Plus that something aweful guide is so true from the few anime shows that i have actually seen some of the program, the bodies are all the same in that they are nothing close to what would be physically humanly possible without having surgery or working out for years and even still it would be absolutely grotesque and i personally wouldnt want to get to know someone like that.

[Chris Nowak]

Its a matter of opinion....

I know from experience that some people just don't like anime and there is absolutely no way to change their minds on the subject. Its not that they are all being close minded (although many are) its just that it doesn't appeal to them. For me, I have always been drawn towards anime and I love it, just cuz I do. Reading subtitles also bothers me less than other ppl.

Dubbing versus Subbing is a really stupid argument to get into...honestly....who cares about how anyone prefers to watch anime. I prefer subbing because I'm also a fan of Japanese and I feel a lot of feeling is lost when you dub(also, most of the stuff I get isnt available dbbd yet, so its moot for me). But please don't go off and say that everyone in the world should watch it the way you watch it, just because you like to watch it that way.

So has anyone here seen/heard of Hellsing? I just watched through it for the 3rd time and I think its awesome. Or has anyone seen Scryed? Scryed just plain rocks. Easily my favorite.

/me acts as kenshin

a new anime now that is big on irc is hack sign, its still running in japan now, and its pretty nice quality. about a virtual reality mmorpg

[Chris Nowak]

Yeah, Hack Sign is pretty sweet. Only thing I don't like about it is the lack of any real fighting. The music rocks, I don't know if anyone has seen Noir but Hack Sign really reminded me of Noir's awesome music. I have up through ep 8, but alot more are "out" right now and I need to get up to speed. And "Nataku" is from X TV, isn't it? Not saying you are, but I found that show to be incredibly cheesy. The opening rocked, though. Just my opinion.

[Rob Colatutto]

no, nataku is what wufei's gundam in gundam wing, i haven't seen that other show. but yes, hack sign does need a little more fighting, the show seems to pick up a little at episode 10

Bah anime is taking over saturday cartoons and it could be very good from the looks of it. Fox is going to be almost all anime except for some american cartoons plus the wb has anime coming out also.
I like:
yugioh
pokemon(sometimes i watch it)
digimon
medabots
Basically I like all cartoons.
