1. EXTREMELY tiresome after two years reviewing DVD releases
I had to give it up. I don't even like Myazaki anymore.

2. I still luv me some anime!
Full Metal Alchemist was my favorite, but I got sick of it after one season. I'd have to say Ghost in a Shell is my current favorite.

5. FMA technically has only one season
There are four distinctive story archs, but it was all shown at once in Japan

Just some useless info from me :D

7. Thanks for the info!
You'll never know when you might need that in a trivia game. Anyway, FMA lost me right around when the Elric brothers found the Philosopher's Stone, or at least the red stone.

18. Full Metal rocked
but I can't watch the reruns anymore. Ed's whiny voice gets to me after awhile.

20. Have you seen it subbed?
His Japanese voice actor (Actress, actually), is much better and much nicer to listen to :)

11. The low FPS thing turns me off for some reason.
Yet I can watch South Park and realize it's just "style." Go figure.

13. I just can't stand the animation
sorry, I can last MAYBE 30 seconds, before it irritates the hell out of me. Nothing to do with the content, just the animation :shrug:

33. Just what I was thinking about. Hentai.
There's a way to do animated porn and Hentai isn't it. The examples I've seen are too degrading to women and promote incest. Eurgh. Not my taste.

Hello Kitty it isn't.

Mark.

25. Fucking lame.
Edited on Fri Jun-09-06 07:25 PM by Placebo
Sorry, but when I think Anime I think total nerds walking around with bad fitting jeans and dirty old shoes and one of those big satin button-up short sleeve Anime shirts with like Anime girls and Anime dragons on them.

It's just not cool, in my circles.

But hey, if it's your thing, enjoy! I won't try and stop ya.

26. Sounds like you never seen GHOST IN THE SHELL, SAC...
Edited on Fri Jun-09-06 07:50 PM by scoey1953
Some people call it one of the best Anime series..ever.
Ghost in the shell, Stand alone complex



Check out the opening sequence:

Others might argue that Rurouni Kenshin is one of the best anime....

34. First off
Edited on Sat Jun-10-06 02:27 AM by Spaceman Spiff
I have to give you props for putting an image from "Project Ako" in your thread. Definitely a favorite.

Anyway, I first became familiar with anime when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg back in '92. I had some friends who were really into it. Back then the only anime people were familiar with was "Robotech" (Macross, Southern Cross, Mespeda (sp?)), "Speed Racer" (Mach Go Go Go), and "Voltron". But these guys had "Dragonball Z" and the original "Gundam" series. And they weren't even subtitled or dubbed. We didn't have a fucking clue what was going on but it sure did look cool.

Fast forward to today and you've got anime all over Cartoon Network. Only problem is that it's so heavily edited for American tv that it now sucks. They need an unedited anime channel or something.

And in conclusion the best anime ever is "Fist of the North Star"!!
