![]() Animes are just cartoons made in Japan..so if you like cartoons you'll like Anime [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE][img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] Uh.. I like cartoons, but really don't care for Anime at all! Give me a good Disney animated feature or cartoon any day! Heck even Scooby Doo was better drawn and acted! Half the Anime I've seen looks like badly dubbed foreign films where the dialog and the mouth movements aren't the same! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img] And I agree with LadyZ on the drawings. I really think the oversized round eyes and 'big hair' they all seem to have isn't very appealing aesthetically. Not to mention that the do sort of start looking alike after a while! ![]()

Well take it from a Wolf who has been a Manga fan mainly for around eleven years. There is manga and there IS MANGA!
![]() If you want to find the good ones, check out creators like Masamune Shorow´s Akira (first one is a bit over the top, but the following series are reall good and a bit more to the truth of things. Pretty proportionate for characters and such). Also Masamunes Ghost in the Shell is IMHO still one of the best series ever done. The philosophy angles (where is Donut??? ![]() ![]() For some info on Masamune.. http://www.asgard.gen.nz/anime/shirow/complete.html For Yukito Kishiro http://www.interq.or.jp/drums/tsutom...p/E-frame.html

*shiver* But I'm told by some self-proclaimed real anime fans that they also keep aloof from the series called Dragonball Z as it is giving anime a bad name(supposedly, not my opinion. I don't care about anime either way ![]()

*yawn* I agree, LadyZ... anime's not for me either. LOL, to think that a few centuries back, the artistic kids were all dreaming of becoming a student of Rembrandt's, now they're drawing anime [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I'm not even talking about the actual cartoons either, which I won't watch for reasons of having better things to do ![]()

I'm sorry but if Gene Siskel (rest his soul) and Roger Ebert Gave Akira 2 Thumbs up that's telling you something! ANIME is GOOD and you can't just say "Pokemon" and "DBZ" and expect those HORRIDLY voice acted, plot-trimmed, peices of absolute $)@* to act as represenatvies of What TRUE ANIME and MANGA are!

AND BELIVE ME, That's what you're doing here, ALL OF YOU... Dising Anime in Genral, I can't belive you people! Watch Perfect Blue, It's nothing like what you normally would generallize anime as, or Jinn Roh, the wolf brigade, both very realistic, OH AND SPRIGGAN that's a damn fine movie too!

I don't diss Anime, I just diss the anime that I've seen so far, and not for the style of drawing. But for the style of the absolutely horrid stories that I've seen so far, like I mentioned, I love the somewhat anime-style FF7. Even though they did make the mistake of making the coolest character ever in the history of all games and in that game a mere side-character with hardly any relation to the plot at all....

Um Deathkiller, calm down. Everybody's entitled to their opinion. Of course I can say I dislike the general style in which anime is drawn, I don't see why I couldn't. I'm not yelling "anime sucks!!!", I'm just saying that I personally don't like it. If that insults you, I'm sorry - that's your own call. Personally I think that when artistically expressing yourself, you're going to have to deal with criticism and people not liking your style. I've never been the type to flatter and pay empty compliments when I don't mean them - better a well-meant point of criticism than empty flattery. What if I prefer Pre-Raphaelite paintings to impressionism? Do you think Monet would give two shits?
