It's so bad where I live (and undoubtedly other places as well) that if there is a choice between American and Japanese voice, all the little ****ing weeaboos pick Japanese because IT'S JAPANEEEEESE and it's soooo much better than the American voice-over BECAUSE it's JAPANEEEEEEEEEEESE. The voice actor choices are also WORLDS better too, of course.

The city of 4chan, right?

woo anime!
i cant choose what my favorite anime is. theres too many of em, Fullmetal alchemist, deathnote, bleach, one piece, naruto, higurashi no naku koro ni, all lolicon (non-hentai) and animes with yandere girls. yea im sick but the real world gets boring.

In video games and movies, I find Japanese voices to be better because I "feel" more emotion and depth. It might just be a fundamental difference in the way the languages sound, but a happy Japanese voice sounds so much happier than a happy American one, and likewise, a really evil, angry Japanese voice SOUNDS REALLY ANGRY.

As for music, there are lots of great songs in any given language, really. There's a lot of crap, too. It's just a matter of sifting.

BTW anime = no

Like your analysis of music, it depends on the game you play. Go play a Dynasty Warriors and listen to the voice acting... good GOD it makes ME want Japanese voice over. Now, go play Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. The English voice acting is incredible. I didn't mean to say there isn't a good reason to choose the Japanese voices, but when the English is better, it's better. I know people who prefer the Japanese voice in Disgaea, and it's almost insulting because the Japanese voice pales in comparison to the English voice. Etna is nails on a chalkboard and Gordon doesn't have the ridiculous flair.

Heh, sorry XD That's just me not following many individual (and perhaps lesser-known?) anime too.

How can you not know about Super Robot Wars? :/

Also, I like anime but my selection is very picky. Basically, any anime that becomes mainstream to the point where I go into a store and the merchandise from aisle 2 is assaulting my eyes sucks. That goes for Death Note, Inuyasha, Naruto, Bleach, etc. Are they good anime? Depends on the person watching. I'd consider Welcome to Greenwood a good anime but hardly anyone knows what that anime is. Point is, anime is a cartoon that takes bigger risks to present stories that normal cartoons are incapable of doing. When was the last time you saw Spongebob bring upon the end of the world via a large bio-robot and a naked chick? Exactly.

The poll is biased as the internet and FFR in particular has a user base of a lot of people who like anime. In reality where I am there were only two people who really like anime out of 60 but there may be some local communities with a lot of people who like anime...but from what I've seen there aren't a lot especially in southern Ontario.

Damn straight.

I dislike anime as much as i dislike most of what TV has to offer me besides movies and comedy shows. Anime itself though.. I get quite tired of the very generic graphical style(I'll generalise here), the stereotyped personalities, emotions, and all these 'perfect' characters bug me a little. Also, I can't help but always relate anime to Hentai, even if there is none(well, there's always some ecchi) in most anime. But then, I've never watched many, and I don't think I'm missing too much.

On the other hand, I love drawn, non animated art and stories, such as just art, or mangas(a little), doujinshis, because it just doesn't show as much stereotyped crap as I see in animes. Or I don't notice it as much anyway.
I really do believe there's some good anime and manga stuff out there... but I really am not interested in finding it. Generally, it sucks.

Oh and for people who like Hentai doujins, don't ever read them in English, you'll want to laugh more than to fap. It's freaking hilarious.

EVERYBODY READ MONSTER
bye

[Mecha_Maniac]

Yeah, I like anime.

I watch it quite alot.

[marioGP87]

Quite frankly, I'm in my school's anime club so, yes. Just recently we just finished watching a short anime called "Cosplay Complex." Unfortunately, some idiot forgot the remote and we were forced to watch the horrible american voice-over version of it (which I might say, it's the most failure voice over. though the blondes are always the pedofiles in the animes x3!!!)

[Ika]

Hell yes I do.
They kick ass. Period.

[robertsona]

some anime sucks some is good just like just about everything

[OnixRose]

I personally like many different types of anime although a lot of people I know aren't fanatics of anime in general or even specific genres of anime, but a lot of them have their own individual series that they enjoy
