I don't get into the whole world of anime, I watch the cartoons on my off days with the volume off and end up duplicated the characters. Japanese artists are very imaginitive, and I love they way they fuse in certain poses, and the costumes are always very tangible. I have been an aspiring cartoonist for a very long time, and have recently taken anime as like my main form. Very epic. But I do like Jingo Araki, and Michi Himeno, specifically. The eyes, it's all about them.

I just got through the himiko-den series. It sweet, but the plot mainly consists of the main character getting kidnapped a lot, her boyfriend running around in circles looking for her, and everyone else wishing they could ignore them because they've got more important things to do ( a war) but having to help cux they're the secret weapons.

Miyazaki is the best! The first of his films I had seen was Princess Mononoke. It was very creative and the quality of the animation was spectacular (not that the rest of his films are any less). The next one I saw was My Neighbor Totoro in my Japanese class. The cat-bus was my favorite character. Then I saw Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away. As soon as that comes out on video, I am going to buy it!
Other than movies, I like Zoids (all series), Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, G Gundam, and Gundam Wing. Some people might say I'm sort of obssesed with Zoids. At one point I wanted to learn how to make robots and all so that eventually I would have gained enough knowledge to build a full scale Zoid that you could pilot it. But that recurrent daydream faded as I realized that no government would allow that (unless it would come with nuclear weapons that had the potential to blow their enemies to smithereens). Now, I've gone to collecting the model kits. Currently, I have 10. I haven't stopped thinking about a Zoids arcade/simulation game, though.

EG: Did you see Bloodlust? I didn't really think that the original was all that great, but Bloodlust was great IMHO! Cool hero, great story, powerful elements, and vampires and vampire hunters!

I like Yu-Gi-Oh and Hamtaro. And I used to LOVE Vision of Esca Flowne, until those dopes at YTV took it off and replaced it with Pokemon and Digimon (which were two animes that I used to like, long ago, but now I know better )

Yay! I finally finished all of the fruits basket series! It was so sweet, and depressing, very depressing...but not? How does that work?!

I stand by what I say: Cowboy Bebop is the best anime I have ever seen. Such great religious, technological, scientific, and sexual undertones. It really made me question my beliefs on life. Plus, the animation and music is great.

I agree with that, if you're gonna change the language of a movie from the original, keep the real actors expression and subtitle it. But at least Jackie Chan can dub his own lines!
My favourite anime are Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Vision of Escaflowne, Slayers, Good Housekeeping (manga drawn by Akira Toriyama) and Vampire Princess Miyu!

I haven't really seen much since I am just getting into it but nowadays I watch Zoids, G gundam, Dragonball and Dragonballz, and....that's it...except I guess Hamtaro but I only watch that if I'm pretty bored. I like the way anime looks. I wish I was a better artist.
[edit] and also yu yu hakusho. that just came on toonami so i just started watching it. i thought it was worth mentioning but not worth a whole new post. Last edited by katya : 03-10-2003 at 07:48 PM. |

G Gundam is not that great compared to other anime, but since it is Gundam its o.k. in my book.

best anime
My all time favorite anime is Escaflowne, both the movie and the series. I absolutely LOVE the characters and the story, though I'm a bit disappointed at the ending.
My second favorite will have to be Princess mononoke or Spirited away.
