Kresselack Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 I am suprised how many have replied and said that it is not a big priority to them. I usually see anime based on appearance, because so many people would download anime-based mods rather than ones that blend well with the lore of Oblivion.

Marxist ßastard Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Anime ages with the audience. Anime rejects the notion that something illustrated must target an audience of minors... Anime comes in all shapes and sizes from... "Pokémon" to... "Neon Genesis Evangelion".In other words, it targets everything from epileptic 7-year-olds to angsty 15-year-olds.

nosisab Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Asking if someone likes anime is the same asking someone likes movies or music or books or whatever of the kind. The answer is aways: Depends, I like some movies, certain musics and a lot of books... but I dislike a lot too. For one I dislike series meant to sell tolls, I refuse even placing such in the anime category albeit the episodes may have all the technical rules that says they are. They are advertisement, just it, at least in my opinion. I can name a few animes worthy a try although they seldom would be at the top of the favorites of the average people. Monster: This is a really good one... err... would be "much more" better if produced as a 30/36 episodes instead the 74 it took. This is about a Japanese neural surgeon resident in Germany Country that saves a boy's, with a bullet in the head, life. The problem is in so doing following the hospital "priorities" he condemned the guy he had a scheduled operation and lead him to conscience crises that eventually cost him the career. In the meantime he finds the boy he saved is more than things seems to be and "correcting" the mistake of saving the boy's life becomes the quest of his life. Quest that should have a few less "subquests" that turned the already slow plot slower. But, as said... One of the best animes to me.(Don't be fooled by the title, you'll not see any monster in this one, at least not something different you see in the real world if you look carefully) GTO (Great teacher Onisuka): Someway this one defies my analytical senses :) It is a mix of humor, drama and seems to be a deep criticism of the Japanese education institutes. Recommended to slight above average teens and good fun to grownups. Serial Experimental Lain - This is probably the most controverse anime ever done. No single episode will make sense for itself, the whole thing seems to be open to interpretation... Since I don't saw all its episodes, mainly I don't saw the ending I can't judge it, but it have me curious yet today. Not all animes are episode based. Some titles I like Spirited Away (movie) - a surrealist voyage a little girl get caught with her parents when returning home. Wonderful Day - A post apocalypse based drama, well done. Akira - A classical of the genre There is more, much more beyond the retard titles (and retarding effects); absurd powers; "I have a sword bigger than yours"; fantastical prowess ... and so on. Really taking a title and judging a genre by it isn't the better way to do things. Even those feats (not all, the retarding will be retarding aways) can be used in good effects. Edit: since I'm well above teen days, indeed have left most of the youth in the past and I like good animes ... Surely isn't a age issue here. When in the university days and after, already working in a highly technical job; reading comics was a good way to relief the stress all the times I couldn't take the family to wander around, and the kids to the ever preferred "shopping trip" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not what I said at all. Please reread for comprehension. If you have some point you'd like to debate please post it instead of off-colour remarks.

Marxist ßastard Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Okay, let me simplify what I'm saying. If I need to be even more verbose, please tell me and I'll break it down a bit further. You assert that Pokémon targets the youngest age group for an anime series, and that Neon Genesis Evangelion targets the oldest age group. As near as I can figure, Pokémon is intended for 7-year-olds, but that could be significantly younger for all I know. I do know with certainty, however, that the appeal for Neon Genesis Evangelion caps out at around age 15. Thus, if Neon Genesis Evangelion is the most sophisticated anime you can think of, it's fair to say that the age distribution that this stuff targets is pre-teens, with 4 years' worth of variation.

You've missed it again, unfortunately. I am comparing the relatively light themes of Pokemon to the progressively darker themes of NGE. The latter show possesses maturer elements to be enjoyed by an older audience. It doesn't really matter how much older as long as the audience is older than Pokemon's target demographic. That is: NGE does not 'target the oldest age group' but can appeal to older and smarter audiences with its use of more complex thematic elements than something like Pokemon.

Kresselack Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Now to get a little back on track... Lets look at one source, which seemed to always jump in my face every day. The Nexus. Since the creation of all these beauty packs, eyes, and hair mods, most characters featured in screenshots seem to be anime-based. Many clothing mods for the past year have the same chatacteristics, mainly recreations of Final Fantasy. They even have a sticky in the Oblivion Mod section. These great fans seem to download them in a heartbeat, and I am wondering if people would like to completely revamp Oblivion into Final Fantasy. It seems like someone really likes anime to the point where it must make other things obsolete. Again, I am suprised to see how many people are not on the bandwagon. Perhaps the katana has not completely destroyed the battleaxe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmert Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I watch anime from time to time but I guess I watched 3 or 4 in my entire life, the thing is I really dont like anime, on tv and in comic books, I am a huge fan of comics and I buy various comics for 20 years, I just cant stand the anime style... I mean after seeing the master pieces from Romita, Romita Jr (Spider man, Thor) EriK Larsen (Former Spider Man, Savage Dragon) Mc Farline(Former Spider Man, Spawn) or Jim Lee (Superman, Batman) those anime look like drawings from an eight year old... I recently got Batman Gotham Knight Dvd and I cant watch it cause part of it is anime style... Can you imagine a Bruce Wayne in anime? P.S: If you like comics, I recommend Batman Hush series, it is a great serie with a great story with great images... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
