Why do you guys like Anime?

Then why did you previously have a sig with Zabusa in it, could it possibly be you had a sig & avi themed on Naruto from pure coincidence?

A member at TMSword.com (R.I.P)named Cuerpo Muerto made it for me. I can only assume he thought Naruto would be good, I only cared if it looked good or not. Does that clear it up? You act asif there's a conspiracy or something :-/

Well it'd be like me having a Killzone sig/avatar....it's just weird.

I just thought that if you thought Anime drawings etc were crap in general, then you wouldn't have an Anime sig or avi ^^;

Oh well...

I never said I thought the actual style was crap.

FUCK. I typed out a nice long reply to this and accidentally hit a bookmark instead of a tab and it deletes itself. Shitty forums not remembering stuff in the post box.

well i dont know about any body else but I like anime because of the well developed story line it has over cartoons, how most of it is orignal and may seem kiddy some times it will always have it's serious tone and unique characters.

plus the action rocks

Oh

Opera is alright, but I prefer Firefox IMO

The new Firefox might have it, so I'll check that out sometime

I dont like Anime at all but a few of the good one's like Spirted Away and some other one's by Studio Ghibli. I also like Pokemon but let's just leave it at that. I dont watch it or anything but I like drawing my own chracters because there easy to draw and they look good.

Ditto. I just find manga to be unspeakably cheap art and anime to be unspeakably cheap animation.

Oh my god, you are so fricking right. And same goes for their stories, not to mention their horrid script.
However you get a few exceptions come around every now and again. I am watching a anime based off a Manga, its called Death Note. I love it, I got it into recently and have downloaded six episodes. Its plot, is its strength, which is full of twists and is very consistent. The plot is sumblime. While there is not much intensive action, the animation is supurb, and as an added bonus, it goes for a more film noirish look than the typical coined anime look.

Edit: Just remembered, Spirited Away is excellent. I haven't seen the others like Howl's Moving Caslte yet, I might buy one of them at the morrow.

Akira aside I can't say I've even watched Anime, if I ever find the time I might try some of the more accepted Anime from this thread though.

Spirited Away is great stuff, '10do. It doesn't require that you care about anime, it's just a stonkingly good film.

IMO, I think Spirited Away is Miyazaki's 2nd worst film, don't get me wrong, I love them all, they're all brilliant, & it also might just be because I've seen it so many times!

Here are all the Miyazaki films I love, they're all brilliant, inspiring, & I reccommend them, especially the ones in bold.

Spirited Away
Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind
Kiki's Delivery Service
Princess Mononoke
Porco Rosso
My neighbor Totoro
Howl's Moving Castle

They're all great

Although judging by the sub-font it's probably fansubbed... And those aren't the most accurate of subs

Which anime is that?...>.>

Spirited Away is now on my 'buy that if I see it cheap' list.

I watch anime for teh bewbs.

I didn't even know what Hentai was until blizz posted something about my av; old betsy to the left was born out of pure avatar day amusement, not a disturbing love of animated porn

Dont listen to Phil, hes a Hentai lover .

I dont watch Anime any more because i dont have the time, but if i did id watch the good stuff like Naruto and Bleach, just because they provide a story - deep character relations - and then screw with the characters so you feel for them and for the story. Its the basic concept used in most movies and games.

Why do people play games ?, Why do people watch Eastenders ? - They could be argued to be utter shite too, its just a form of story-telling and getting away from every day life for a short while.

I just like Anime for the story and characters, bleach is very good with this and not too "hardcore" to scare people, also Spirited Away (whilst can be seen as very kiddy) has a fantastic story thats unique and creative, something you wont find in most movies - especially cartoon based ones.

Asking why do people like Anime is like why do people like 3D games, someone who does not do it see's gaming as nothing special, geeky, crap in some cases.

Dragonball Z is your general young audience "fight and act super cool" anime, nothing special. The more story based anime - the better. Some stuff iv seen, for example stuff Phil has showed me he watches, looks wierd as fuck .

Phil's hardcore anime fan, likes the tits blood and girls, im a story anime-fan. Dont judge anime as a whole , just as noone wants gaming to be judge as "OMG YOU GAME, You must sit infront of your PC in the dark on your own every single night playing dungeon and dragons!, GEEK!".

And just as Z said above, some are shite yes - but some are fantastic, just like games, movies and TV, some games are amazing and the type of stuff id want none gamers to see, but there most probably not going to see Gears of War or Crysis - there most likely to see "Cars" or "Harry Potter".

What you can see if you look

What you will most likely see

Hentai FTW! The only good Anime. Immoral sisters are worth downloading if u have Limewire or any other good DL software.
