Title: Anime...?
Post by: Reier on May 05, 2011, 07:47:52 PM
Seriously. I don't get it. What exactly is the appeal of people with headlight eyes and chins that could be used as tent stakes? And when they talk they're too lazy to make the mouth have more than 2 frames.

Someone explain what people like about these? Because this (http://www.sky-wallpaper.com/uploads/2009-03/japanese-anime-girls/1237985514-3KQA23K.jpg) seriously freaks me out.

Do not start a flame war please. Thanks.

That's just sh**-tier anime, some of it is actually good and has better drawing and animation than that.
I don't even know if that picture is from a particular anime, but maybe Scourge does...

Don't look at Mainstream Anime, and you'll find the treasure troves I fell in love with.

I'm not a Naruto Fanboy, but I do like stuff like Princess Mononoke, and Howls Moving Castle.

Kujii, why does your profile say you're a female? Anyway, I like Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop, and a few others, but there's no point in listing them all. The others are similar to those two anyway. Pic realated, it's Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Howls Moving Castle
Princess Mononoke

More, but thats off the top of my Head.

I mostly got into anime back when great games used it, like Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Destiny, and Star Ocean

kujii, sonny was asking reier.

for me it's the story that is the appeal of anime. you can tell any story imaginable with anime, at a relatively low budget. Some animes have been running for years with an actual storyline, not just episodes. the whole concept is great.

So wait, what is your definition of "mainstream" anime?  If not "Haruhi" I mean.


Reier, same question to you, what animes have you watched that you base your "headlight eyes" judgement on?  Surely your criticism comes from looking at more than that one picture.

The creators of Tokyo Mew Mew (http://tokyomewmewpower.wikia.com/wiki/Tokyo_Mew_Mew_Wiki), apparently. That girl looks to be Ringo Akai (http://tokyomewmewpower.wikia.com/wiki/Ringo_Akai).

I myself have never watched Tokyo Mew Mew. I have, however, been subject to a lot of requests to do with its anthropomorphs.

The anime I watch are very ranged in style - from the gory BL Togainu no Chi through the popular Naruto and Bleach right down to the kids' Teen Titans and Digimon. Heck, I've even watched Sailor Moon (I was probably about 7 when it aired on Fox Kids)

Oh, and I've watched all of the Transformers series too.

Especially when the most powerful computer in the world can't understand the rules.
 
I think anime's alright, mostly because you get to go absolutely crazy with the story most of the time. Though I did get to some series through the fanmade abridged versions. my friend showed me Vision of Escaflowne Abridged, which was hilarious, so I decided to see what the proper series was like.

Anime in itself bores me, I read manga usually as you get a better look at the art (something as mundane as Bleach can have excellent art; I used to be a Bleach fan for that very reason). I can read/watch some manga like Eyeshield 21 or Full Metal Alchemist but the one that just have guys perving around suck.

So... you're basing your entire judgement of a type of foreign art on a single style of drawing? That's cool. I hate all paintings ever created because the Picasso guy was weird. Seriously, his stuff is just too crazy. Therefore, since they're all paint-on-canvas, all painters are the same and they all suck and they're all weird and I hate them all.
 
I guess we have something in common then, not getting the appeal of a vastly broad medium because of the sweeping generalizations we've made based solely on a microscopic sample size of a specific offshoot. High-five.

Hang on, I missed this earlier, are you saying you watched Lucky Star and not Haruhi?  How is that possible??? Lucky Star is rife with Haruhi references, heck "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" exists as a TV show within the Lucky Star world.  You're not getting the full package watching it that way, I mean, watching episode 16 in particular and not getting all the jokes?  I feel for you.

I know what you're thinking, don't judge Lucky Star on the Choco-Cornets scene in the beginning.  In fact the whole first episode is not a very good tone sette (I don't know what they were thinking making that the opening episode, for goodness sake they have one of the main characters out sick on the first day!)  The pace really starts to pick up after that.

My advice, not worth your time. The forum posts that list all the references are a page long - per episode.  Lucky Star rarely references the same anime twice.  Haruhi is the only one that's done frequently.

I was kinda under the impression that nothing ever happens in that show.

Well the plotlines are cohesive, they'll have episode like a "studying for exams" episode and a "class trip" episode for example.  It's in the same vein as Azumanga, a slice of life anime where stuff happens but it doesn't necessarily follow the conflict-resolution formula that most shows do.

If you find a good anime or manga you'll like, you may start noticing the appeal of it - very often you'll find a hidden meaning, an allegory outlining a modern problem, the author showing his philosophy...

One is an intergalactic elf while the other involves wearing some stupid Death Note costume. Go figure (but I tend to be against cospalying in general, not just for Anime).

Generally I consider Laputa-The Castle In The Sky Ghibli's biggest achievement, followed by Princess Mononoke (which I consider my No. 4 film) then Howl's Moving Castle (based of a book by Diana Wyn Jones; correct me if I'm wrong).

Spirited away was awesome. the scene with the grime monster and her giving a bath to it was possibly the worst thing I've ever watched, I was dry heaving as much as she was at the thought of it's smell.
 
The bridge holding breath scene was pretty much the start of me holding my breath whenever a character does.

I used to like Bakugan until it went stupid after the first season. Mostly I watch the anime Transformers, Blue Dragon, Pokemon, Inuyasha(sometimes) and some other one that I forgot the name of and I read Gundam Seed before.

But I absolutely hate Naruto

Bakugan was pretty good, but the third series just really sucked :/

Avatar the Last Airbender is a pretty cool one to watch, and can be really funny too.

I think the best animes are the ones where they didn't have the American audience in mind.  With Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, Bakugan, etc sure it's Japan inspired and ostensibly Japanese, but let's be honest, they knew that America was where the money's at, so they had to dumb down the plots a bit.

Comedies usually don't have that problem, that's why I prefer them.

Dumb characters, plot points that pop-up at random, samey action and a plot that becomes almost as complicated as One Piece's.

Harem aren't supposed to be very intelligent plots... they're just supposed to be fun. I enjoyed watching Love Hina, as an example, because of the slapstick mostly.

Actually there are a few truly badass vampires in anime.

No, its the Episode where Butterfree find his "lover".
Except Shiny Butterfree isnt pink.
So it was probably a weird-ass foreshadowing of that episode with those pink berries.

That's the point.  It's silly to expect Naruto or Bleach to have very intelligent plot.  Shonen authors are working on time constrain to target hyperactive kids.  Whatever dumbing down that results has nothing to do with "Americans".

Though I personally don't like neither shonen nor heram.
