Mushroom_king Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 *~*The Grand Illusion*~*The Final Cut&*~* I was wondering just a few seconds ago why there wasn't an Anime TAWPEEK here on the forums. Now why is that? I put myself up to the task of making one. Animes/Mangas I love: Case Closed/Detective Conan, Cardcaptor Sakura, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist, .hack, Death Note, Chobits, One Piece, Hoshi No Kaabii (Kirby of The Stars), Tokyo Mew Mew, F-Zero GP Legend, Fruits Basket, Sailor Moon, The Dreaming, Zatch Bell, Galaxy Angel, The Gentlemen's Alliance, Gundam, Astro Boy, Magical DoReMi, Anima, Dragon Ball (Not Dragon Ball Z), Those EarthBound mangas they had in Japan, and Old-School Pokemon. I'm sure I forgot some. Oh well. Animes I hate: Naruto, Lucky Star, all Pokemon after the 1st season, Inuyasha, and Hentai. that's it for now. *~*The Psychedelic Luau*~*The Astronomy Domine*~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesusfreak Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I'm just starting to get into anime, thanks to my friends. In all honesty, I'll watch pretty much anything you put in front of me. So far I've watched all of Love Hina, Love Hina Again, Ouran High School Host Club, and FLCL. I've gotten through part of Death Note, Bleach, and Fullmetal Alchemist. And I have an ever-growing list of animes I still need to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that both Last Unicorn and Thundercats are pretty similar to anime, and definitely drew on it for inspiration, but I don't know if they would actually be considered anime. I tend to be pretty narrow-minded in my definition, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkcher Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 To me, about anything that involves more hormones than necessary, eastern manga animation, and a storyline/setting just begging to be Mary-Sue'd, qualifies as Anime.

- Kat - Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 See, my definition is a lot more strict. I generally don't call anything that didn't come out of Japan real anime, 'cause that's a big part of the genre for me. O: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya FLCL Minami-ke Minami-ke Okawari The Tower Of Druaga ~The Aegis Of URUK~ (currently in progress) CLANNAD TV CLANNAD ~After Story~ (okay, I admit, it's not out yet, even in Japan, but I'm going to watch it) Kanokon (currently in progress) Aria The Animation Detective Conan (still going ;A; they're crazy!) Ouran High School Host Club (SHUT. UP. I regret watching it.) Ghost In The Shell Lucky Star (no, it didn't make any sense to me either) One Piece Naruto (ugh. NEVER AGAIN.) Death Note (I admit, I only watched it a bit before I got bored. I should probably start watching it again.) CODE GEASS (I watched, like, half an episode. Still counts. =P) Gakuen Heaven (I also regret watching this. The ending was terrible.) Inuyasha (Not my thing, I only watched a few eps and got bored with it.) Bleach (This also got boring after a short while. Why am I almost never into the super-popular animes? It's weird.) Rozen Maiden Rozen Maiden Traumend Rozen Maiden Ouverture Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch (Also regret this.) Princess Tutu (actually, that one was pretty good.) I My Me!

There are two versions, one from 2002 and one from 2006. Watch 2006, it explains the story better than 2002. Anyway. Go do it. - Glowurm K, I go b emoz noa.
