Do You Like Anime?

[Ozie-Saf]

Yes, I like animes. Why? Dunno. Anyway here's a list of some of my favourite animes.

Wolf's Rain - quick summary: 4 wolves are looking for "Rakuen" (told ya it was going to be a quick summary). The animation is good, the soundtrack is beautiful, the character design is really good, and even though the characters may be a little unrealistic at times, it's ok since they aren't human. In case you read my post and are interested in watching this anime (don't worry, this anime actually breaks away from the set of genres that anime series often fall into), just make sure you're not depressed or you may commit suicide right after watching it

Monster: very long series (74 episodes!!). Quick summary: A doctor is under suspicion for murder and flees the authorities to find the villain and clear his name. Even though the story may sound like s***, this anime is a must-watch: masterful storytelling, very good artwork, realistic characters and I could go on and tell you all day long that almost everything in this anime is amazing (omfg best ending sequence I've ever seen *drool*!!). I really think that watching this series would help you change your mind on animes .

Samurai Champloo - story: a young girl and her 2 samurai bodyguards set on a journey to locate the samurai with a scent of a sunflower. What I like in this anime: 1-the main characters deal with plenty of sex, alcohol, and violent/bloody fights, 2-story taking place in Japan (Edo period)+ modern-day music(mostly hip-hop)=OMG this is awesome!! 3- The graphics, chara-design, soundtrack are excellent! Do NOT watch it unless you're at least 15 or 16 years old lol.

I hope you'll watch at least one of these

Seriously, they need to air more types of anime. Among the boring are: DBZ, One Piece, Inuyasga used to be good, and Pokemon. I wish there would be more realistic anime like Cowboy Bebop or more fighting type animes like Naruto or Bleach

Anime is much like the hip hop trend, but on the internet. It seems like everyone on the internet likes anime because it's what's cool on the internet. Not only this, but the action and style of anime bothers me. The people are often too cheery, unrealistic, and tend to act in a way that no one would ever act in real Life. All animes share these types of charateristics, and I suppose that's what makes them anime. I don't understand what everyone likes about anime, in my opinion, it sucks.
Now for the reason of this thread. If you like anime, please post your favorate show and specific reasons as to why it's good. Doing so will enlighten people of good anime shows, and it will put into context the concept of anime, possibly making me understand why it's so good a little more.

Edit* I just pulled a stupid move and put the parentheses next to the No option. The parentheses in the poll are supposed to be next to the "Yes." option.

You haven't seen any good anime like Death Note, Rurouni Kenshin, Ghost in The Shell, Trigun, and Blood +. Any other anime besides the one I listed is unrealistic.

Don't watch the dubbed ones then. Go watch the subs, there are tons of anime like Cowboy Bebop and One Piece is actually good in Japanese.

idk how much animes u watch, but teen love is a genre i dont see up there. nor comedy or mystery or scifi or horror. try watching Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (horror), Lucky Star (comedy, even funnier if u kno enuf anime/manga/game) , or Shakugan no Shana (half teen love/half battle), or Da Capo (teen love), or School Days (horrorful teen love), Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (Scifi), Azumanga Daioh (comedy), Kanon2006 (unrealistic drama), Air (unrealistic drama) and c if u like those kinds of anime..., the ones i see up there are mostly popular magazine related like JUMP or Gangan... D Gray Man is another JUMP, same as Naruto and Bleach...

How is Death Note realistic?

It features human behavior, judging from one's point of view of justice, but features freaking Flying Gods of Death, a killing notebook, children as the best detectives in the world, and last but not least, a group of at least 5 people that know about said killing notebook but are somehow able to keep it a secret .

Quick Edit:

The most "realistic" anime I can think of right now is Black Lagoon.

i like anime because it IS unrealistic. the unrealism depicted in anime grabs the attention of any fantasy/scifi lovers OR the unrealistic aspects that COULD be happening in our reality makes me love anime even more. if u were to make an anime that completely modeled our world, it would be worthless and not interesting, because we see it everyday. anime and other forms of media that create an imaginary world provide us with momentary relief from our daily lives.

[SaSSyBiiTcH]

No, no, noper, & no.

[Timer Rabbit]

I like anime. However, thanks to a certain music-game obsesion (to be exact, Pop'n Music.), I have not watch alot of them. To boot I don't like watching them online or on the computer. D:

There are some anime I like... And some I hate. (Mostly hate anything that is overpopular and don't get it why it was "popular". (I'm refering to animes like Naruto.))

Here is my current obsesion...

D. Gray-Man (anime) : I think this is the first anime that I actualy like both heores AND villians. I can't explain why... But they do grab my charm with unique weapons. (Mainly Allen's arm. ^^; ) Same goes for teh Noah (villians). Sad part: I'm behind the manga/graphic novel, but ahead (and spoiling) at the anime.

Rozen Maiden = Because Hina-Ichigo convinces me. :V More like becaue DESU (Suiseiseki) is everywhere. (Urgh. XD) And also because I like lolita/gothic lolita stuff.

Theres more, but they are old days. (Burst Angel, .hack series, and such.)

[rzr]

Impressive bump. And Naruto sucks. Sucks. S. U. C. K. S.

[NFD]

I watch a few like Psalms of Planet Eureka seveN (Proper title, Midday), Paranoia Agent, Speed Grapher, and Code Geass.

[-Yukari-]

Haha, this is quite a bump, but this topic has probably been created so many times that we don't need another one.

Personally, I hate 99% of all anime. As a form of art, it's great. Colorful, beautiful, etc. But the shows are so duuuuuuuuumb. There are about 2 or 3 I like, and I've seen a handful of them; well over 25. And don't bother to tell me "well thats nothing theres like 547 anime and ive watched 481 of them so u just need to give it a chance." I know there's plenty of anime. They're just not very good.

EDIT: "Not very good" includes Bleach, Death Note and NARUTO kthxbye

Perhaps its trying to send a message to its viewers..... idk lol

[tha Guardians]

Believe it or not, I'm still a huge fan of Dragonball Z.

Trigun and Cowboy Bebop are also amazing.

[Izzy]

There are some good anime's and there are some bad ones. Same as any genre of shows/cartoons.

[Xx{Midday}xX]

2 bumps...

I'm not too big on anime but I love the ones that make you think and reach a new perspective on life such as ghost in the shell.
