Arrow_Diet Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 ... all that cr@p like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh are both serious shames to the anime name.I enjoy MOST anime. I happen to be a big fan of a lot of cartoons that'll never be heard in English. Most of the names I can't spell :bleh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untouchable1 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 even though pokemon and yugioh are considered childish there is no question that some of the animations surpass that of the average cartoon. even though there are a few uber childish animes all that anyone has seen here is probly about 5% of all that is anime. most are actually hardcore intense fighting animations and will not ever make it to us shores wether because of the rating or just because there is too much anime to go around. kiren apparently you havent sat up to watch Cartoon Network late at night. thats when the MILD anime comes on, and it seems hardcore by american standards. you can also stay up and watch TechTV's Anime Unleashed. a few of these animes are deeply emotional or rely on heavy mechanised or widescale semi-cg ultrabattles. but still, these dont even scratch the surface of how hardcore anime can go. google 'hentai' if you want an elevator straight to the waist of the mountain. or on a lighter note, go to Japan and see how anime is actually part of the culture there, and how its influences in tv, video games (props to the greatest RPG series of all time, Final Fantasy), clothing (who doesnt want to dress like the dude from trigun?), and music (J-pop > u). *sigh* It's like a battle. I'm almost out of breath, out of verbal bling, out of thoughts. If I think of any more I can bring to the table I will. Anything that is great is bound to be put down, but why on earth would anyone want to take on such a huge topic and not have but a one liner opening at that? Kiren, would you like to be introduced to my sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surian Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 lol, maybe he can take the place of the Fahrenheit 9-11 topic you have there... you didn't do so well in that one. Sorry... it was just too easy. I agree though, Anime is such a huge topic that you can't really just say "Anime Sucks" you have to narrow it down a bit. There is a BIG difference between Dragonball Z and Trigun or Cowboy Bebop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensis Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I myself am a big fan of anime. Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, any of Hayao Miyazaki's movies (Mononoke Hime, Spirited Away, etc...), and especially some less known ones. Movies like Samurai X, and TV series like GTO, Naruto, Kenran Butoh Sai, and Beserk. Some are funny and kind of childish, but if nothing else, the animation makes up for it. Beserk and Samurai X are much more serious, and are actually considered more of a mature anime. Cartoons for grownups I 'spose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberBender Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Spirited Away was way too weird/confusing for me. (or maybe I'm just stupid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Thief Oriana Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 since when was Cowboy Bebop supposed to blow you away into laughter? Its an action series. If you want funny, watch Love Hina or Excel Saga or Tenchi or something. God, even Lupin The Third would suffice. Cowboy Bebop is still really good, regardless. People who cant see that have no view for art. Most anime is action as it is. beyond that, a lot of it is very childish/cutesy. A small cut is pure comedy, since most of it is more of a fusion, say from a drama or action with a comedy aspect. Think Trigun. Thats an action series, but it has humorous parts. Cowboy Bebop had humorous parts too. and, if you cant see the depth of art in a single anime title (The ones produced by For kids productions excluded), then I suggest you bite a bullet right now, because a rembrandt would be harder for you to understand. AND, by the way, its "Cowboy Bebop", NOT "Cowboy Beep Bop". [obligatory " :ranting: "] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaiv Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Google 'hentai' if you want an elevator straight to the waist of the mountain. Correction: Google "hentai" if you want explicit cartoon sex. Which most of us don't. ;) Just a heads up to those who might actually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow_Diet Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Spirited Away was way too weird/confusing for me. (or maybe I'm just stupid) Naw Bender, you're not stupid. It's based on old japanesse believes in spirts. I spent 2 years in Japan, and I had a hell of a time figuring out what was going on. ;) You're not alone. I can't believe people search of anime porn.... It's a frickin' cartoon >_>Any who...I miss the original Dragon Ball. :( It started out as a comedy series with some small action to break the constant laughing, but then it kindof diluted it self and now it's all action with some small comedy to break the constant explosions.I'm not saying I don't like action anime, because Trigun is the bomb, but I like comedy also....
