BlackDove Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I found Rurouni Kenshin and Cowboy Bebop the best I've seen yet...although Neon Genesis Evangelion kinda has it's own place in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Solar Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Originally posted by InsaneSith hmm luc you know black bible is cartoon pron dont you? not all of its perverted. and the stuff on tv does suck cuz its edited and the storyline gets takin away but whatever you got the right to your opinion. I dunno if you can call it porn. It's just sick. Having demons rape and slaughter innocent schoolgirls etc. has nothing to do with sex imho. That is my opinion. As for the generalizing I did about all anime being total crap..I was exaggerating, of course. But honestly I dislike the way anime is done. All these clichés and still-shots of characters (the compulsory drip of sweat on their forehead and eyes the size of platters) with the fireworks in the backround...WTF is that? Where did all those colours come from? Why are all expression made soooooooooooo ridiculous? I know it is a cartoon, but come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 alot of the colors and the drop of sweat and stuff is used to exagerate mood to get it across that they are well really nervous or really mad things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accually all of thats just "eye candy" to help you get an emotional rush and feeling of interaction... :S such as when the character is running at a really fast pace they put color background that is moving... this emphasizes the character is moving at a blinding speed... making you feel like your having an adrenalin rush... of course it doesnt always work for everyone so I could see why your dissappointed in it all...

Where did all those colours come from? Why are all expression made soooooooooooo ridiculous? I know it is a cartoon, but come on! *runs in all excited (first time here ) That's only a small part of anime. There are a lot of animes that are done so well with artists and animators who are so talented they can make it look real. A lot of series animation is done quickly and most of them like to have a lot of humor in them, those expressions help them there. It's their own unique way of showing it... most of the anime movies out however such as Akira and Ghost in the Shell (to name the obvious) are extremely realistic with extremely detailed animations which deserve many awards, so don't just think anime is Pokemon and a lil pikachu doing cute things and the other extreme with the hentai's with "demons rape and slaughter innocent schoolgirls etc"... hentai is a very small part of anime and the smart ppl ignore it and don't think any more of it. *bookmarks thread* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leXX Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I like Akira and Fist of the North Star. I recently bought the Akira 2002 Special Edition DVD. The rest I'm kinda getting used to slowly.

Yeah, well saying that those Special Effects don't "do it" for me is an understatement. But some people obviously like 'em... To each their own. I guess anime is just like some silly soap opera like "The Bold And The Beautiful" or Jerry Springer: when you see it for the first time you wonder how anyone can possibly stand to watch that bs, but after seeing a few episodes more, you get hooked. I'm off to see TTT now. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camus Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Yeah it all depends on what you watch... trust theres to much anime for someone to be 100% anti anime... theres got to be atleast one anime that will raise your eyebrow and go "that was semi intresting I could like that..."

C'jais Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Things I hate about anime: 1) Schoolgirls. Why do japanese have this unhealthy fixation for schoolgirls???? 2) Mechs. Grow up, Robotech was fun when you were a kid - now it's just lame. And mechs are tactically the most stupid vehicle you could ever imagine. Tanks could beat them anyday. 3) The facial expressions. WHY oh why oh why do they have to look so goofy? It's ridiculous. 4) Plots that involve the whole world, and more often than not, the whole universe. Please. This is something low budget writers do to convey a cheap sense of epic feeling. 5) The hair. It makes me puke. To get those sort of hair-do's, you'd have to use two bottles of vax. I liked Ghost in the shell. Both the manga and the anime. Stylistically, the manga sucked donkey arse, but the plot was brilliant. The anime was good too, and stylistically better. DBZ is the worst bunch of low quality poodoo I've ever had the honour of watching. Me and my friend were literally (not kidding) down and rolling on the floor, laughing our asses off. Damn it was tough to breathe properly afterwards. The rest is just crap, but I felt like highlighting these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
