The ref was from the post you quoted, in the post I quoted.

i understand but were you under the assumption i watched it or just making a general statement?

Wile E · Dec 29, 2010

Just general statement.

It was kind of unclear, so I'll rephrase: Inuyasha is better than most long-run anime out there.

I'm in the same boat as you. Watched the first 10, and haven't been able to bring myself to finish. I like the first one better so far. I still haven't seen what everyone was raving about.

And it's not a case of me just knowing the overall plot in the beginning, because I still get into the original almost right away. The characters were much better. I think it's overrated. I'm one of the first to tell a person to stick it out a few episodes before making a decision, but if an anime can't hook me in 10, that's just poor writing.

It was much better Naruto. It's not half-animal, it's half demon, btw.

Inuyasha is probably the only really long anime I enjoyed most of the time. The filler eps weren't as retarded as most anime filler eps are.

I disagree. Maybe in story line, but not in execution. I can still watch the first 10 eps of the original, and it's an enjoyable experience. I can't say the same for Brotherhood. The characters aren't written or acted as well or something.

FMAB focus a lot more in action and maybe less on characters than the first season, also original music was better i think, i still remember some of it while from brotherhood nothing remarkable, the Homunculus story in the original was better...

Edit: Any fans of PSG??
Gotta check the just released OST, some crazy sounds there, enough to put some of the "occidental" recordings to shame...

Japan and its "products" have been getting a lot of attention lately.

Sooner or later, anime fans will be labeled as freaks by the entire world that has no idea what is Anime, Hentai, and Eroge.

Time to put my collections behind secured titanium doors before the angry mobs start burning them, along with me in it! Lol.

I work at a movie hire store, and more and more people are becoming aware of anime (or just Japanese cartoons) in general.

ofcourse hentai and eroge will always be labaeled as bad and people who like it, freaks.

Which is a completely true and fair assessment, but hey, to each their own.

2wicked · Dec 31, 2010

People don't realize a good percentage of cartoons shown on tv in most countries for the last 30 years or so have been anime.

Unfortunately the average person associates anime with pokemon or yugioh. "Anime? Oh! You mean pokemon!"

You can find great art and stories in any genre of anime.

Funnily enough I had a conversation on this topic with someone recently. The reasons its frowned upon so much is because of Christianity. Which unfortunately is what Western Civilisations culture's' were founded on.

Before Christianity introduced all these morals most "pagan" cultures and religion reveled in the erotic.

Funnily enough Japan went and killed all the Christians in there country more than once, so it seems about right that Christian morals haven't been widely adopted.

entropy13 · Dec 31, 2010

I'm still baffled by people dismissing manga and anime immediately and preferring "Western cartoons". Modern manga (1950s-) was heavily influenced by Disney and others (e.g. Betty Boop) during the US occupation of Japan. It's quite obvious with the science fiction theme of Astro Boy, one of the earliest big mangas made; it explicitly follows the predominantly 50s view of the US about science and technology (also seen in Fallout for example).

I've seen a documentary on Osamu Tezuka, true he was heavily influenced by disney.
Ironic that The Lion King is a rip off of Tezuka's Kimba The White Lion. lol

It has nothing to do with morals. They are cartoons. If they turn you on, you are a freak. But again, everybody has their thing. Some people are turned on by feet, this makes them freaks. It's their prerogative, but they are freaks nonetheless.

some people like huge black asses. those people are also freaks.

morpha · Dec 31, 2010

my personal opinion is not for or against.

There are many 'fetishes' and almost everyone has one. Something that turns them on sexually. Hentai is just another kind and its no ones business if you like it, just as it isn't your business if they happen to like Erotic Asphyxiation

I do draw the line at child pornography though, simply because ive seen how kids that have been abused in that way turn out in the long run. Not Cool.

Cold Storm · Dec 31, 2010

Yeah, no matter if it's Anime/real life, Child pron is a no go..

I've all ways been said to be a freak even threw high school due to me watching and drawing anime. No matter who it was they said it.. I couldn't wait to get out of high school. Away from the rich snobs that plagued the school system..

kid41212003 · Dec 31, 2010

To clarify some point:

I was an Catholic, the last time i went to church was 4 years ago.

I've played about 3-4 eroge and watched quite a handful hentai.

Cold Storm · Dec 31, 2010

i had to do a pizza delivery to a church. i made sizzling noises and started doing a gollum voice "it burns the precious! save me, masters!" as i walked in.

they werent amused.

AhokZYashA · Dec 31, 2010

well..
back to anime topics please..

angel beats songs, is much better than k-on songs...
from the mastering quality, and the genre..

but that doesnt mean angel beats is the better anime
i like k-on much more than angel beats...

entropy13 · Dec 31, 2010

If it's Girls Dead Monster v. Houkago no Teatime it's GDM for me. But when you include the non-GDM songs (i.e. the non-rock OP/ED) from Angel Beats! I start to lean towards K-On!, except for the rock version of My Soul, Your Beats of course. lol

Series are ending now; Shiki's done, Motto To Love-Ru already ended last week. Another Winter anime just started airing, Starry Sky.

K-On "NO, Thank You!" better than entire AB OST...
Ive listened to some of AB i dont quite like it, not like i like all those cheesy K-ON songs either but i love "NO, Thank You!"...

Shiki was awesome, it ended mostly how we expected it to end but maybe, just maybe a little something unexpected in the end...

Starry sky is a reverse harem anime, stay away from it...

entropy13 · Jan 1, 2011

I know what it is, just saying it has just started airing lol

djisas · Jan 1, 2011

Tx allot for this new chart, i managed to update my own listing on Anime orb, I have gathered the most complete information on most of the anime in this listing, using it, everyone can look for their favorite anime with the most complete descriptions, images and trailers found to date...

The Winter lineup is also complete with the most interesting animes that will start airing...

Out of these keep an eye on Steins gate and the great Huke's artwork
Deadman wonderland, interesting premise and saw some trailers based on the manga and things look good, not to mention the studio manglobe is used to do great anime...
Im curious about C, i cant find absolutely nothing about it and since it runs on the Notanime slot where the best and most original anime air, its something to look forward to...
