Camus Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 weve said it many times before each series and movie in anime is diffrent... there is a wide varriety of it... trust me there is atleast 1 out there you would like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockV1.89 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I've seen an American, I didn't like him. That's it. ...See the flawed logic? I see it, but it doesnt apply in this situation. People are a bit more dynamic than a movie genre. I'm not saying that "anime sux0rz!!!11". Not at all. If people like it, cool, wonderful, more power to ya. I'm just saying that, based on the anime that I have seen, I simply dont like it. Look at it this way. I've seen a few romantic comedies. I hated them. Therefore, I dont watch romantic comedies. Am I to be expected to go and see every other romantic comedy that comes out simply to reaffirm my dislike of romantic comedies? No, of course not, that would be stupid. Likewise, I shouldnt have to watch every other anime flick to know that I dont like them. Several of the ones I saw were ones people listed as their favorite animes (I think), so they werent cheesy kiddy american anime (DBZ aside). I'm not deadset on hating anime. I've got an open mind, and if someone I know really, really wants me to watch one that they think I'll like, I'll watch it. But so far, I havent been impressed. I've seen too much that just makes me scratch my head and say "eh? Why's that there?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you do find a genre in anime you like and and you find a bada** show you like in it really warm up... If you dont oh well atleast you tried...

Lynk Former Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 So what non anime kinda stuff do ya like then? I'm interested to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Regardless of what I've said about anime, I still think it's vastly better than Western cartoons. Disney made cartoons "children's stuff". Pokémon is about to do the same to anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Anime is ok. It's mostly the really bad story lines that drags them down... Unfortunately,that includes DBZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'jais Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Pokémon is dead, sure as sure, but it left a lasting image. Can anyone recommend me some anime with creative and good storylines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escaflowne, it has sword fighting, blood, a little humor (which kind of ruins it a little) but overall its pretty good. not to many episode either (i think there were like 26 in all and a movie) i havnt seen them all though. its a good show.

Darklighter Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I just saw the first episode of Trigun. It was pretty good actually, better than I thought it was going to be anyways. Quite funny:)Well I'll check out some more episodes and see what they're like. Also I'm up to episode 17 of Cowboy Bebop...it's getting really good:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-s/<itzo- Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 in trigun, as the shows progresses it will get better and better. and about cowboy bebop , it will surprise you. that's all i'm saying. i don't want to ruin it for you. so have fun watching these shows.

Xanthos Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Sigh... for those who think anime is "ridiculous" they have probably seen the crap on Cartoon Network that is so heavily edited its not even funny. Anime is Mature Graphical Arts really that turn into Cartoon when they slap them on national TV. Animes like Rurouni Kenshin, Trigun, and Cowboy Bebop (the 3 best ever in my opinion) are the best animes ever. They have absolutely fabulous plot lines and the characters are diverse and amazing. Turn off the TV and download off kazaa or go buy a VHS or DVD of any of these 3 animes and you'll see they are much better then they appear to be on TV. On TV the story is still there, without the blood and language and mature things that just complete the whole anime experiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
