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
KrazySumwhat:
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.
Darkwing Duck (The Reincarnation):
havent watched anime for a long time, but when i waas younger i was into it, only old stuff though (from the 80's/90's)
the "newest" show i got into, was probably "hellsing"
doggfather:
neva liked anime too much...
KrazySumwhat:
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.

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.
