What anime you watching?
« on: July 17, 2012, 09:28:22 PM »
 Iam currently watching "Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion" 19 episodes in. Seems pretty cool. Interesting animation style. Few laughs and pretty decent story.
 Also watching "Naruto Shippuuden" i think iam up to around episode 260 odd. Gotten a little behind. I like to let the episodes build up when up catch up.
 I checked out a couple of episodes of "Rosario Vampire " watched a couple of episodes with some mates. Rather funny, very pervy, pantie shots galore lol.
 Its a bit cliché, as alot of anime is. A nice, weak, polite, etc guy finds himself in a situation where he befriends a very cute attractive girls and it leads to him being fought over by a whole bunch of other girls all battling for his attention.  The girl he first becomes friends with is a vampire. Cheesy but funny.
 I recently seen "The disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" long and slow but superb animation.
 "Mardock Scramble" Was pretty cool too. Tripped out animation. Keeps showing a 15 year old naked too lol :P
 Watched one episode of "Blue exorcist" Seemed pretty cool. About a guy who is the son of Satan but his mother is human.

 Best anime i've seen for a while would probably be Highschool of the dead" Really friccing cool.

 What chas watching? seen the ones mentioned above? I know there gotta be some Naruto fans? I remember a work mate joking YEARS ago we'd be 30 and the series would still be going. He was right lol.

 What do you mean, like people taking the piss or people genuinely trying to look like and act like anime characters? Often at anime conventions during the awards for best costumes people will do a little skit, playing the character they are dressed as.
 Cosplay can be very very good or very very bad lol.

^Really??? wow i didnt even discover it until i was in highschool. I didnt know anime as anime or that it was Japanese until i was 14. Of course i had seen and iked anime as a lil kid but to me they were all just cartoons.
 Seeing Legend of the overfiend when i was 14 blew me away.
 I fell in love with anime. Of course at that age seeing carttons with hot girls and nudity, violence, swearing and sex is really cool and funny.
 Your really missing out. Alot of anime has brilliant animation and great and at times epic and deep story lines and theres all sorts of anime. Some are very funny some are more serious and meaningful. Theres lots of romancey ones for the girls too.

 I get the impression form the "lol" in your post that your one of those close minded judgemental people and probably figure that your too cool for anime or something?
 So i guess you grew out of video games too huh?
 What about that juvenile rap music?
 
 Dont get me wrong, nothing wrong with not likeing anime, everyones different but acting like your too old for it or too cool is kinda lame mate.
 Its also very possible that your one of the many people that consider anime to be either for little kids(pokemon) or cartoon porn.
 Closed minded i say! lol
 Everyones different i mean everyones excited about the new batman movie. I think Batman is gay as fuck.

nah like one or 2 of my friends still watch it but i dont think regularly though, i cant watch cartoons too much anymore, just family guy or futurama here and there. the only anime i can stand to watch right now are violent adult ones like cowboy bebop or kenshin type of shit.


i mean im asian so i grew up watching those type of cartoons at a young age, and not till it got popular on toonami n shit lol

 Yeah well its funny cos i dont really like Western cartoons(of course simpsons and south park funny as fuck) i think the Japanese are far superior when it comes to animation and iam not only saying that because or perversion lol.
 I like how in Japanese anime and video games they go more deep than alot of western, more real, more um even emotional? like main characters dieing, sad shit happening, unhappy endings, etc.
 Yeah well i watch alot of comedy slice of life ones these days but i used to love fighting and violent ones the most.
 Went through a hentai obsession phase lol.
 I just like the animation style and the story lines and the humour. It gets cliché but it works.

 I know what you mean though, anime used to be underground! lol then it went all mainstream. Happens with everything.
 Like teh anime convention here was at the Adelaide university now its all big at a convention centre and advertised on tv.
 its good and bad at the same time.
 HEAPS of hot girls get into anime which is good ^_^

 Samurai champloo is a dope mix of anime and hip hop!

 Oh and yeah everyones different i think super heros are gay.

 Yeah most of the classics are from that era. Hell sing was pretty cool.
 Like everything anime is mass produced and alot of copying/un original but for the most part it works.
 Like the JRPG's not many classics like their used to be and same shit, became cliché and un original largely but again i just like their style.
 
 I'd recommend Highschool of the dead. The fan service can get a bit silly but its really awesome. Hmm,   "Samurai champloo" really rocks its a great mix of hip hop and the feudal/samurai/ninja era.
 I've actually gone pretty blank on what other newer ones have been particularly good or that aren't just funny and pervy.
 I download lot of fan subs with un rememberable titles too so yeah..

 I go through phases where i dont watch bugger all myself.

neva liked anime too much...
Fair enough. Its funny how we are all different. Anime had instant impact on me. There have been periods i havent watched much or lost some intrest but for the most part i've been rather into it there were moments of obsession.
 I just think American cartoons have really crappy animation and most of their cartoons are either for kids or family. The adult ones are silly porn or just comedy, shock value comedy. Not enough substance but light hearted fun.
 I find anime to have better animation and alot more substance and variety. Some are clearly for a teenaged audience, some kiddy, some adult, some for all plus some for male some for female.
 Comedy, serious, porn, romance, robot/mechs, sci fi, feudal era/ninjas, fighting/martial arts, high school, horror, mythical, medi evil, futuristic, magical girl,  etc just all kinds of styles. Not just all the same like The Simpsons/futurama/south park/family guy/American dad. Stripperella was cool though lol
 I guess its the whole culture, like the cosplay and conventions where as many other people would prefer super heros and sci fi(i like sci fi), comic books, world of war craft and the like.

2ND EDIT: Drawn together was cool too, and Ren & Stimpy. And of course American cartoons did influence the Japanese initially. Like how teh female school uniform was influenced by British sailors and teh male uniform by Russian soldiers.

 I used to be totally obsessed with JRPG's too and think they were way better than western ones and whilst i still do prefer teh Japanese style and play more Japanese ones, Games like Dragon Age, Fallout, Mass effect, etc leave JRPG's looking VERY linear.

^ Yup , played most of them. "Secret of mana" was another. "Suikoden" a little later on ETC.
 Recent good ones i played that were dope are "The Last remnant", "Lost odyssey", Star ocean 4", "Resonance of fate" and currently playing "Nier"
 I see theres lots of JRPG's on PS3. I'll get one one day.

 Watched some Naruto. I do like it but its getting a bit stupid. They aint even ninjas anymore more like super human or magic users or gods. And the fillers/recaps really do get tiresome. Like one of those women shows like days of our lives or something.
 Somehow keeps you interested though and wanting to see what happens next..

 I do like long anime series, gives more opportunity for twists and turns and character development but sometime i like it just short n sweet. Naruto crazy long.
 12-24 episodes is enough sometimes.

thats what i dont like. when they are clockin in at 5 or 6 seasons, hundred of epsiodes etc can't watch all of that. too much
a friend wanted to introduce me to the "One Piece"-saga, but the show is like 600+ episodes or somethin, n its still goin. so i couldnt get into it, fuck it
i used to like the shorter OVA's and most of all, the movies. preferably the old stuff, the new anime-stuff out there is too "noisy", goofy & silly to me
"highschool of the dead" looks cool though. i heard someone mentiond it before, might give it a go on dvd someday. been a while since i enjoyed anime

same here, my big bro put me on rpg's at an early age. started with secret of mana in 94-95 (not an rpg though, but close enough), and moved to pretty much everything squaresoft did between that and 2002 (secret of evermore, chrono trigger, chrono cross, vagrant story, saga frontier, etc.). i've lost track ever since. suikoden II was the shit, too !!

as far as animes, I was really into it as a kiddo. I mean they stopped broadcasting Dragon Ball Z here when i was 7 (I'm 24) and that pissed me off back then (even though I own all the mangas), but france was/is huge on animes, from captain tsubasa, city hunter, fly, ranma 1/2, etc. and as a kid I started reading mangas (not that much though), like Akira, Gunmn, etc.

never got into animes that much after that though, i mean pretty much all my friends are huge manga readers and watch religiously animes like Naruto, Hajime No Hippo, Bleach, One Piece and so forth but I never took the time to watch them, i should give it a try i guess.

 Yeah i've never watched one peice but Narutos at least 500 eps now i think and i believe Bleach is similar.
 Yeah alot of the old ones were just one off like movie length. Lots of anime is vwery ahh goofy, whacky, silly, etc.
 Yup you should check it out. The fan service puts some people off but judge for yourself.

What do you mean "secret of mana" is not an RPG??? of course it is! Not all RPG's have to be turn based :P
 It was a rare multi player RPG for those days too. One of the best games ever.
 Yeah when Square Enix was actually Square Soft they were the shit. They were so much better back in those days. Things went down hill but what do you expect when the creator and originator of Final Fantasy leaves and dose his own thing?
 i was never actually into Dragon ball. Ranma 1/2 is pretty awesome. I never seen all of them but that show is very funny.
 I actually dont read manga. Love anime but manga dosent interest me in the slightest.
 I used to go crazy with posters and wall scroll and collecting videos and dvds, even went through a figurine phase. You know those painted resign statues?
 Theres anime/video game convention here soojn. they alway pretty cool. You'd be surprised that its always 50/50 male females and prolly only 60-70% geeks lol.
