I didnt think hack//sign was confusing, but then again i was already like 16 or 17.
btw.... has anyone seen Perfect Blue? I heard that shit was fucked up (it was shown in an university course: sexulaity in modern japan -___-)

Yeah ive seen perfect blue, and yeah it was pretty fucked up.

Naruto is indeed over 200 episodes, but as many as half of them are just fillers. Even though they have material they can use from the manga, they were closing in too fast on the limit of the storyline that the manga had achieved, so they threw in a gazillion fillers that did absolutely nothing for the plot, in which the content was less matuer than usual (seriously, compare any filler episode to episode 17 where Kakashi punches right through Haku's chest with blood everywhere).
Does anyone else hate fillers as much as I do? They tear down a good show.

i really loved doraemon, it has remained my favorite cartoon of all time.

Fillers are the fate of a show whose motivation is to get viewers, make money, sell merchandise, and make it go long as possible in order to milk everything out of it. However it is true that fillers are becoming worse, mainly because manga become animation quicker than ever, in order to capitalize on their popularity. If say a series usually got animated after 3-4 years of publication 10 years ago, then today a series will go to the TV screen in 1-2 years. This shortens the "buffer" of plot available to the screenplay writers, and forces fillers.
It's nothing new, but it "has" gotten worse. And because naruto has inherited the throne of the #1 japanese boys' anime, it probably has it the worst.

Yay for the other Ippo/PoT fans!
No one else likes Kanon? =(

Naruto fillers are absolutely horrible for the most part, however the Bleach fillers arent as bad imo. However, the Bounto arc has been going on forever, they need to finish it up and move on to something else, like the manga storyline -_-.

My favourite 3 so far... Full Moon wo Sagashite (awesome ending btw - music grows on you too). Gundam Seed (lots of people like it too) mmm I guess Crest of the Stars (great storytelling/setting/background/story), or Kimi ga nozomu eien (worse then I thought, but still quite nice cos of its reality (if you can call it that))...

I heard it was a game with a very very good storyline. That's really all I know, b/c I couldnt stand the visuals of the animation when I tried watching it T_T.
I guess I could try DL'ing and playing the PC game version...
|
Too hard to choose T_T
I guess 1)Air (+ Kanon) 2)Evangelion 3)Escaflowne
FLCL was awesome too.. and inital D... nad Berserk t.t... i'm just going by the ones I rewatched the most
|
Perfect blue confused the hell out of me especially the ending. I couldn't tell which was reality and which wasnt. Akira was abit confusing too .hack is the most confusing thing i ever saw
Hmm my classical all time favorite animes 1. RUROUNI KENSHIN!!!! Oh god i love this so much 2. Pokemon i used to cry watching the movies and wake up early in the morning to watch it 3. Gundam Wing i used to stay up late at to see it on cartoon network at midnight toonami i guess you can add sailor moon, digimon, dragonball z if you want haha
Ones i really like Elfen Lied,Evangelion, naruto manga is good, deathnote manga fun too, final fantasy advent children was cool Lots more but forgot The few episodes i watched of Bebop was cool and grave of the fireflies made me feel so sad.

Fuck .hack fucking confusing shit... I watched it when i was like 13 and every episode i watched and summaries synopis i read made me even more confused.
If you guys are talking about how good the anime looked Appleseed looked mad nice. Like they used computer and than like added sketch lines so it looks drawn or something. The landscape in that movie was awesome just the story was not original. Ghost in the shell looked cool too.
Has anyone seen Kite. Its hentai but its actually well made imo. Sad too.
|
Well I understood that it was a game and that the characters were living inside of it. There were different worlds... Typical mmorpg type stuff except one of the characters couldn't ever log off his game.
After that, anything said in that anime translated to: #$92834092384-0awief-i39clickclick to me.

Well you haven't got that good taste yourself actually, since you bash down Ninja Scroll (one of the best anime movies I have ever seen, if not the best) and praise Hellsing so highly. Don't get me wrong, Hellsing is cool and all, but it's kinda a girl thing in it's "coolness". Which is why it's my little sis's and some of her friend's favourite anime. And you say NS's animation is bad?? WTF? It's one of the most beautiful out there, so smooth and dynamic. Kinda like Cyber City OEDO 808's - love that style. Certainly beats Berserk's animation - I think that show deserved a bit better graphics :/ Oh btw, keep in mind that NS is from '93 while Hellsing is '01. And I still like NS's graphic more :/ What I don't get mostly tho, is that you praise Berserk so highly (which is undoubtedly a godly anime and an even godlier manga) but don't like Ninja Scroll? Uhh, NS and Berserk are one and the same in coolness, both main characters are absolutely awesome. To continue the list I'd have to add Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop there, both for the excellent detail of characters and plot, as well as the fun "mood" of both series. Then of course Golden Boy and GTO - also kinda in the same boat, both have this great feeling of... extraordinary ordinary life. Great, great stuff out there to watch, I kinda feel envious towards people who haven't watched much anime yet - there's SO many great pieces yet for them to discover, hummm... -Mynock
yes indeed, Ninja scroll is old, but im not taking that in consideration, for the time it was great animation same as Vampire Hunter D but they freaking suck why?
-The constant retarded pseu-hentai inuendos that has nothing to do with the plot at all, like the rock guy trying to rape the girl in NS, or that busty girl in Vampire Hunter
-The simplistic good vs evil plots and cliché situations, good guy trying to save the kidnapped girl from the bad boys, repetitive guy facing enemies tougher and tougher till they meet the final boss zomg, sotty but only 10yo kids enjoy simplistic plots.
- absolutely zero character development, there are no motives, backgrounds, explanations, just a guy who decided to be evil cuz the hell of it, always a girl in distress with no personality at all, just weak bitch that falls in love with the hero.
- stupid childish animation for no reason, like an enemy that looks like a spider and has 4 arms... what in the fuck its a ninja fight why is there some fucking spider mutant that spits acid in there?
The thing is, these animes were pioneers in their time, but they were for KIDS, kids dont want to see a fight between two "ambiguos" caracters no good or evil, and one gets slained and his family starves to death rofl... they want to see hero fights spider mutant ninja!!!.
And yeah as i said i love HellSing because ive always adored the whole Vlad Tepe (cond drakul) story, the plot isnt that good but it doesnt suck, plus the initial animation is definitelly top notch, they used shining reflection like no other anime ever has, too bad they changed animators and the quality went downhill veeery fast.
Berserk's animation is average, however its plot is definitelly the best and more complex, the anime was too short and they left out very important parts, its definitelly an adult anime, Miura took care of developing each caracter with a lot of deatil there isnt A SINGLE character in the anime you cant describe, griphith, gatz, pippin, judeau... for fucks sake those were like 3rd lvl characters that barely appeared yet they were perfectly defined.
There arent any good/evil things going on Berserk, Griphith is a very egocentric character that doesnt care about others and only cares about his goal... Gatz is a violent killing machine who loves death, so no simple monodimentional characters.
Also there isnt silly non-explained stuff, Gatz doesnt carry a huge sword to be the cool guy (as its very commonly done), its perfectly explained, Gatz was found barely alive inside his dead hanged mother, obviously he was hated because of that so he were raised by a local thief who trained him with a normal sword when he was a child, and killed his dad and the guy who were fucking him (his dad sold him to prostitution)with a full wrong man sword.
Anyway that was a huge post, and berserk is way way way ahead of any other anime series.
PS: i agree golden boy is great, and hillarious.

1st - naruto 2nd - Full Metal Alchemist 3rd - great teacher onizuka

You know... a lot of these animes suck....
But Great Teacher Onizuka is my fackin favorite. UNTOUCHABLE in greatness. It's funny. It's mildly good manneredly-perverted. It's also got character. Then Slam Dunk is pretty good. I even used to have blazing red hair like the hero. It's funny. It's got character. It also has characters... that I like. Basketballlllllll!!!!!!!! And.... One Piece.. because while Ninjas suck in general and aren't in many cool things.... Pirates are amazing.
