Title: Good anime?
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:01 AM (GMT)
What do you all think is some of the best anime ever made?
I like FLCL and Evangelion, they both have deep meaning, awsome character development, and good animation. I'd like to hear you all's opinion though.

If DBZ is anime... then that used to be good!
Fifth Fang - December 29, 2004 05:03 AM (GMT)
i'm not sure, since no one bothers explaining what anime is!
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:03 AM (GMT)
Ick, I hate DBZ. They act like people dissapearing and alot of sounds is good fighting.
Durendal - December 29, 2004 05:04 AM (GMT)
DB was good DBZ was alright but GT is just weird, i dunt even follow it anymore.
The Entertainer - December 29, 2004 05:06 AM (GMT)
FF: I dunno either
Karn: But it is!
And yea GT isn't the same... too... i unno.
Fifth Fang - December 29, 2004 05:09 AM (GMT)
to mega:"i'm just supposed to pretend i know?"
to world: "DBZ is ok."
to mega:"what is DBZ?"
The Entertainer - December 29, 2004 05:11 AM (GMT)

dbz=dragon ball z
Fifth Fang - December 29, 2004 05:12 AM (GMT)
i see.
anime is kindof like ...cartoons?
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:13 AM (GMT)
Anime is basically cartoons made in Japan that have a certain style of artwork, like Rurouni Kenshin or the like. DBZ had a weak storyline in my opinion that consisted of only people breaking there limits over and over, and all of the characters look generally the same.

Fifth Fang - December 29, 2004 05:14 AM (GMT)
From what i've seen of DBZ, it's a bunch of people with special powers trying to control DBalls, right?
like my abbreviation?

They might've looked the same, but their personalities are so different! The best part of DBZ is it's character development. And how the good guys always win ^_^ I hate that dark junk.
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:19 AM (GMT)
Well that's what it's supposed to be but it's not, basically a bunch of guys with black spikey hair stand crouched grunting for like thirty minutes and then their hair turns yellow somehow, and they claim to have become super powerfull, and then they utter some stupid corny catch phrases, and then everyone dissapears, and the one that reappears is the winner.
You know that had to be a run-on sentence.

But there are rarely any non-fighting episodes.
Fifth Fang - December 29, 2004 05:22 AM (GMT)
so what if it's a run on?
who's an english teacher?
English Teacher:"FF, incorrect capitalization."
FF: *draws sword*
English Teacher: "Nevermind."
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:24 AM (GMT)
Run-ons are bad......
FLCL is good because it has absolutly no filler, it's six episodes.
I hate filler.
Fifth Fang - December 29, 2004 05:25 AM (GMT)
darn, i've got to be stupid again?
filler?

That's because the character development takes place whilleee their fighting :P
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:27 AM (GMT)
The character development doesn't seem that good to me, Goku seems to be the same always, he doesn't change. Vegeta changes a bit I guess, but they all seem to basically be the same.
Filler is pointless scenes added to a show to make it longer.
The Entertainer - December 29, 2004 05:31 AM (GMT)
Goku is I guess... he does get angry sometimes though... and he's not supposed to... does that count?
And Piccolo goes from being evil to Goku-friendly...
And Tien goes from main character to non-exhistant...
And Gohan goes from cool kid to nerdy teenager...
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:34 AM (GMT)
I also don't like how they make the Saiyans better in every way than all of the other ones, this makes any character in this show that I was actually interested in redundant because they are weak and this show is only fighting. It also means nothing when a character dies in this show, because they can just be wished back. Nothing ever goes wrong, there is no suspense for me.
The Entertainer - December 29, 2004 05:36 AM (GMT)
Mm... I guess. Poor humans...
Still it's [deleted because I can't believe I just said it] when Goku and Vegeta fuse and kick Buu's donkey... :P
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:37 AM (GMT)
Buu.. he never died.
Goku: We defeated Buu!
*buu reforms*
Goku:Noo!
The Buu saga was the lamest of them all in my opinion.
The Entertainer - December 29, 2004 05:39 AM (GMT)
Fine then. How about... when Goku went all blonde on Frieza and kicked his donkey?
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:41 AM (GMT)
That was cool. The Frieza saga was the best of them all. But after that it went downhill.
The Entertainer - December 29, 2004 05:43 AM (GMT)
Scooorrreee!!! Your right though, come to think of it.... both Cell AND Buu just reform over and over... I thought it was a little weird though that Frieza had like so many forms and then his final form he was like "oh I'm only using 1% of my power"
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:45 AM (GMT)
Yeah I guess, but the Frieza saga was actually suspensful. And the supersaiyan was cool then, but then after that supersaiyan became gay.
The Entertainer - December 29, 2004 05:48 AM (GMT)
Gay as in gay gay or gay as in gay?... :blink:
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:49 AM (GMT)
It became stupid, it didn't mean anything after more than one person did it.
Any other anime?
The Entertainer - December 29, 2004 05:50 AM (GMT)
Yea... version two shoulda has silver hair! Or purple...
I don't know if anything else I watch could be considered anime... long long time ago I used to watch Hamtaro... that looks Japenese-ish?
Karn - December 29, 2004 05:54 AM (GMT)
Lol that is anime, really weird anime.
The Entertainer - December 29, 2004 05:57 AM (GMT)
Yeah... I feel sorry for the person who came up with a show about talking hamsters.
Exceeds - December 29, 2004 06:57 AM (GMT)
Rurouni Kenshin is great!
Tri-gun is ok great story and characters.
Cowboy bebop is amazing and the character and story lines are Deep.
Evangelion NG is great! i love the characters, "Vehicles" and everything!
Full Metal Alchemist is amazing!
FLCL was good but they cancled it...which was gay..i liked the story and the episode when they all had the mac-10 B-B guns.
Karn - December 29, 2004 07:33 AM (GMT)
^You have pretty much the same taste in anime as I do. I have FLCL on dvd, I've seen it countless times.
Exceeds - December 29, 2004 07:38 AM (GMT)
Yup yup! me too! I love FLCL...the first time i saw the robot pop out of his head i was hooked.
Karn - December 29, 2004 07:42 AM (GMT)
Exceeds - December 29, 2004 07:49 AM (GMT)
Sooo...Hey do you like Wolf's Rain?

Exceeds - December 29, 2004 07:51 AM (GMT)
Karn - December 29, 2004 08:29 AM (GMT)
It's just way too slow for me, and I don't like the characters much.
