Geez! What is the deal w/ Anime?
/me waits for the expected smack on the head.
I’ve only seen some of what they have on Starz (Well you know, some of the vampire ones anyway. I mean it’s vampires! Of course I’m gonna watch it, if there isn’t anything else on)
And I saw Spirited Away and various other kid’s cartoons more time than I like to remember. My kids love it. So why is it that everybody is so up on this stuff. What am I missing?
With anime, you have to think of what type of characters you like. What do you like in a movie or plot. B/c not all anime is compatible to what people like.
And with some of these people you really have to enjoy or not mind sci-fi.
Well I love scifi, and vampires and werewolves. Spirited Away was all right with the spirits. I just got sick of it after the 50th time. And most of what I’ve seen was for younger audiences, I guess.
/me makes mental note to try and watch Grave of the Fireflies.
Lemme see, I’ve watched quite a few anime (though not as much as Fadem) and they’re mostly only series. I’m too lazy to try and remember all of the ones I’ve watched though. Here’s a few though…
Dragonball (Z and GT included)
Yu-Yu Hakusho
One Piece (I really like this one.)
Yu-Gi Oh
Samurai X (I keep whistling the sad theme of this to myself for the past 2 years…)
Samurai Deeper Kyo
InuYasha (I’ve yet to see the whole series but its pretty good)
TriGun
Hajime no Ippo (Unbelievably great boxing anime.)
Grave of the Fireflies is good. It’s a well put together Anime. It has a great realistic quality to it. The characters and the drawing is just great.
Yeah, it’s sad b/c it depicts a time in our history. Something that truly happened. No one likes the holocaust but people still watch Schindler’s List, Sophie’s Choice, The Pianist, etc…
I liked Elfen Lied too but I’m having trouble getting a hold of the rest of the series. Some guy at the anime store told us that it’s not out yet. Does anyone know for sure.
