i don't really know for sure what it is

Chaotic42, you just don't like those robotic animes. I am on the same boat as you.
Fist of the North Star is actually pretty bad in anime, but it's disturbingly fun to read the manga while pooping.
I don't get why US doesn't broadcast Doraemon, What's Michael (the cat one), and other similar shows.

Well, I'm just not into the dragons fighting dragons, or robots fighting robots, or dragons inside of robots coming out of the robots and fighting girls with kittens that can turn into robots with dragons in them.

Ninja scroll was the best anime I ever saw. Sailor Moon, and stuff like that, I just can't stand.

Also, if you're going to watch porn, why watch cartoon porn?

sailor moon = awesome.

STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!

pwned.

 

[melly]

to quote a 'child of the 80s fwd joke':

she-ra could kick sailor moon's ass anyday!


i could never get into anime. great artistic talent, yes, but anything further than that is beyond my comprehension.

I started watching anime a decade ago in college, but subtitled tapes not DBZ or Sailor Moon. I'm still watching anime, but it's just one of many genres I watch not an all-consuming passion.

Some inventive and entertaining titles:
* Noir isn't up to the level of Leon or La Femme Nikita (movie), but was still very entertaining to watch.
* Bubblegum Crisis (original or 2040) is way better than Birds of Prey and Seasons 6-7 of Buffy combined.
* Princess Mononoke outshines Ice Age and all the non-Pixar Disney since Lion King.
* Kishin Corps / Geo-Armor (steampunk alternate-reality WW2)
* Black Heaven (heavy metal music protects the earth)

I wouldn't want to watch only anime, but it's a nutritious part of a balanced viewing diet, along with samurai movies (Yojimbo, Zatoichi), HK gun operas (A Better Tomorrow 1-3, Time and Tide), French films (City of Lost Children, Kieslowski's "Three Colors" trilogy), British historical epics (Sharpe's Rifles, Doctor Who) and once in a while some Hollywood processed cheese.

I used to watch DBZ a couple of years ago, but I lost all interest in it. My friend really loves it, but I can't get into it. It just seems... I don't know what the word is.

you cant really judge the whole ANIME by watching DBZ.. first of all its like 10 years old.. and ITS VERY BAD! compaired to original comic book.

Now kenshin:Remembrance on the other hand... is superior to many great movies.

 

[Mallow]

Only anime I ever liked was ninja scrolls b/c of the violence and nudity! My fav. combination.

 

[timmyG]

I don't usually like anime but I really liked the Evangelion series and some movies by the guy who did Spirited Away like Princess Mononoke and Laputa (I think they're by the same guy).

 

[0roo0roo]

i dont like 90% of anime. cheapout animation, pathetic attempts at deep meaning etc.


there is some good. grave of the fireflies? awesome.

i like some silly anime too, cowboy bebop, its got style. golden boy, creatively crass

 

[yoda291]

anime lies on a scale of radiation producing viewables.

anime > modern american cartoons
tom&jerry > anime
anime > dude, where's my car
fight club > anime

 

[borealiss]

been watching anime for about 11 years now. saying you hate it is like saying you hate movies, or tv. anime is a medium, that's it. there are good ones and bad ones. wanna have a seisure? watch something like flame of recca or dbz or noir. wanna be entertained? go read naruto, watch kenshin oav, and give studio ghibli releases a shot. "spirited away" got best animated picture for a good reason.

but i have to say if you ever want to make a first impression, NEVER mention you watch it. most people who watch it are morons at best, and most anime is garbage at best. but there are some really good ones out there.
