Do You Like Anime?

[MixMasterLar]

I wouldnt say I enjoy anime so much as I enjoy some shows that are called anime.

To me, any show is for my viewing pleasure. If it's from here in the US, Japan, or Mars then that doesnt matter as much as how good the show is.

so far I like GTO and the OAVs to Kenshin. There's like 2 Lucky Star eps that I found funny but most of that anime goes over my head. oh and InuYasha got really old

[AOD_ELEMENT]

i f'ing hate anime with a passion

[Xx{Midday}xX]

Oh... just to clarify my current status in regards to anime... looks like I posted here before.

I don't watch anime anymore for the following reasons, in the most impacting order to the least impacting:

1) torrent busted
2) college apps, and general academic labor
3) too lazy to get anime, too stingy to spend anymore money on anime
4) other interests: drawing, playing instruments, composing (sample pics: 1, 2, 3)

I still do play occasional cggames... but generally, I got bored of anime. I don't have much to do with it anymore, and I haven't watched a full anime series since January 2008. I study most of my Japanese from harder media forms now, so I don't have any practical use of watching anime anymore either. I'm done being escapist.

Hey! You take that back. Death Note is the only anime i've ever liked, even though the ending was rather boring.

Ending was ruined.

Watch the fansubbed drama, it's better. M and N don't exist.

Nothing is worth that <_<;

Everyone says Naruto is overrated etc. But Naruto is not "overrated". It's usually the best-selling manga on the weekly jump. I personally don't see anything wrong with the current manga as it's flowing now.

Most people get the presumed notion and the first impression that Naruto is "bad" because its anime has no consistency or quality of any kind whatsoever. If there are any other reasons why Naruto can be considered bad, that other good manga/anime don't have, I'd like to know. To be honest, I believe half the people are just jumping on the "Naruto is bad" bandwagon without knowing what Naruto is.

Btw, everyone thinks Naruto and Dragonball were overrated manga/anime, both from JUMP. However, the most "overrated" anime in the history of international media was Majin Gazette. Naruto is getting close, but it's not there yet.

Note: Bleach is a terrible manga and anime. I have no complaints about everyone kicking Bleach every which way.

I've never even heard of Majin Gazette =P

I'd be surprised if anyone has. It's never mentioned anymore despite it's amazing historical #1 international profit anime achievement. Well, Spain did most of the work.

Yeah, tell me why you point me out. Do you want to know how many correct titles you missed everywhere else on this thread? I don't think so. You don't need to piss me off like that. Why the hell did you single me out like that? The only reason I can think of is to piss me off on a topic I feel so strongly and confident about.

Crap, I'm tired. Enough third-hand Konata knowledge posts from me, and enough postwhoring =)

'Anime' is selectibly amazing. Show's like Lelouch of the Rebellion, Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, and Pale Cacoon are what make Anime good.

Manga to Anime interpretations like Naruto are what make them bad. (Don't get me wrong, the Naruto manga is amazing.)

To be honest with you, it would have been a lot worse if you'd told me to take it back because of Bleach, or definitely Naruto :p I still don't like Death Note though. Very overdramatic, amongst other things.

[AznGreen]

you should give soul eater, midori days, and elfin lied a chance. i'm pretty sure you are going to like it very much. oh, AVOID IKKITOUSEN AT ALL COST!1! WORSE ANIME I HAVE EVUH SEEN!1!

[-Yukari-]

Was that directed to me? I've seen Elfen Lied, it sucked balls. No offense. Haven't heard of the other two.

Now I'm avid viewer of anime and American TV. And aside from sitcoms like the Simpsons(which is great but is starting to get old) there is really barely anything interesting on American TV. Now beasides sitcoms what does american TV have. A bunch of ****ing Crime Dramas like CSI and Law and Order, some Hospital drama, or some crappy reality TV show. The onyl american TV shows I'm addicted to right now are House and Lost. Everything else is the same old crap.

The same thing can be said for anime as there is a lot of stuff thats the same crap over and over again. Its all about preference.

However there are some good animes out there.
edit- they cancelled the simpsons for the olympics... D:

Most of American TV sucks. Family Guy, Futurama, and Simpsons are the only animated works worth it and as for sitcoms there's reruns of alot of older stuff (Prince of Bel-Air, Save by the Bell, even Fraiser) That are amusing but besides that I agree with Caz. And some of the most well known Sitcoms are based of off ones from other countries (Sanford and Son comes to mind, I think Becker was also based off something but I cant remember) so if you wants something new then anime is a nice turn from the norm.

but really, Manga > anime. I have no problem reading the Manga versions of Kenshin, Death Note, Bamboo Blade and even mindless stories like Ranma 1/2 from time to time but God please dont set me infront of their Anime versions!

[Frozen Beat]

I think it would sometimes depend on which one you take a look at first.

[Xx{Midday}xX]

Usually, cggames -> anime are better than cggames -> manga. But yes, for the most part, the manga is the original. Hence the manga is better.

[fido123]

I really don't care about the artwork in which what I view is done in so I don't really go around looking for anime. I don't like most anime but I really liked Death Note. I also had some of my friends pressure me into watching Lucky Star 7 and another one into Speed Grapher but I didn't really like either of them all that much even though out of the 5 episodes I've seen in Speed Grapher it did have his moments.

EDIT: wtf bump?
