Give him a crown and giant biceps and that's pretty accurate.

I'm surrounded by anime all of the time. Even my bank card has some dozy cartoon A hole on it. "It sucks" might be a sweeping comment, but a good 99.99% of it does. The stuff that goes overseas like DragonballZ, Naruto, Hokuto no ken (haaaaaa-taaaaaah), Robotech, etc, is the best stuff. For every "awesome" anime there are about 10,000 that are unwatchable gak.

In that case, then yes, certainly. There's no point in discussing something with someone who think subjectivity is something that only applies to other people.

You're the one making half cocked teletubby comparisons and telling me "I don't get it". Manage a better tone in your arguments and people will think there is substance in them.

The funny thing is, I never even said I even liked the series. I only mentioned that I thought it was 5 times better than the original, whilst explaining why I thought sexism was not prevalent in it. Instead, I got a page long debate on Shuma's dislike of a plot twist. Ah interwebz! How I love thee so!

You know what's even funnier? I never said I didn't like the series. You told me I didn't. Repeatedly. Then used that as your seemingly only defense of the "subjective opinion" based discussion. I do like it. It's cool and has big explosions.

This is why I cut off the argument at hand. You were straw manning and claiming hidden concrete knowledge then claiming my points were irrelevant because of the subjective nature of the discussion. You can't just say "Nah nah no one can be right" then compare my opinions to bizarre telletubby examples and claim that I "don't get it" when "The majority of people thought subject x was y".

I'm sorry, I thought you were finished talking with me sir?
I seem to have a certain image to hand which I believe explains this one....

Don't take the bait Ketara.

Lol. Seriously.

I was just warning him that arguing with you will get him nowhere.

Now I know why I might be banned more than you (which you still can't prove). You are trigger happy when it comes to the report button.

**Sanctjud**

So...what else do the OP hate?
I mean...it's like the same thing as saying:
"I hate books."
"I hate movies."
"I hate oogling at bewbs." Which IIRC is a healthy thing

I would report myself if I could, you guys with the report orgy, keep it going...maybe we'll see a modhammer land

Reported.

See, this can go on all night Shuma.

I'm tired of your games. I'm sure when I come back I shall be on vacation again but whatever.

I love anime.

There, now I am back on topic.

**Sanctjud**

I love it too, but this could be spam...

What do you guys think of the harem type anime?

I liked tenchi, but disliked love hina. Ah my goddess was neat. It works as a formulae, but it doesn't really survive on it's own merits. It needs to be an archtype that supports a plot rather than the plot itself.

Bolded is just blasphemy, man. Blasphemy.

Anyway, Yeah I've only seen the old FMA anime, but I think that's good enough. If it's the better version, Ignorance of the new one would be better. If it's the worse version, I am quite happy with not ruining my memories of it.

@ Shuma and Fate:

Ah here they go, here they go, here they go again!

**Sanctjud**

I suggest watching it, just for the action scenes.
I think there was more badasserly going on.

I liked the mindless Love Hina though...just cause it was mindless.

.
I liked Tenchi when it first came out...and then it just...sort of went on for too long IMO.

I generally treat Anime as any other soap opera/prime time show/series/etc. There is much more freedome with this medium...and alot less uptight.

Anything on US TV series that's not like HBO that is similar to Death Note? Anime goes into some deep/dark stuff......

I don't think we've touched up on the 'H' stuff

.

**BaronIveagh**

I think that shuma and fate are both going to get banned or something soon. This is the second or third thread today that we've seen shuma and fate both making attacks.

*sigh* Can't we all just enjoy the Japanese cartoons with the big jiggling breasts?

**Sanctjud**

Or equally big Eyes...and egos...and...and...

I attend the local Anime Convention...I like Anime, but what would the definition of 'Love' be?
I don't like it enough to play dress up.

I don't mind those pretties that look real good in simiilar clothing (guys and gals, mind you)...but I wouldn't get close to cosplaying.

Though I do have the urge to dress up as Pedobear, but that's something entirely not about Anime..........yet....

You ever wonder why the tail lights never get as much attention as the headlights?

**Sanctjud**

But you always hear about the rear-ending and not the head on collisions...

Wait...are we talking about the same things?

**BaronIveagh**

Because they like you to turn their headlights on?

Every one likes oogling at bewbs.Cept alpharies,hes G A Y.

Nah man, their head lights, and men are deer. We just can't help but stare and get hypnotized....

**Grambo**

Man i hate alpharies.

**Orkeosaurus**

I hate them too.

**BaronIveagh**

Hate what?

**Orkeosaurus**

Alpharies. An alphary is even worse than your average anime.

**loranafaeriequeen**

I like anime the same way I like collecting GW and FW miniatures and models. I like some of it, but no way would I invest my whole being into it. Some stories, fluff, characters, authors, etc are great. Some are not so great, to the extent one could say they suck. Where my opinion falls now is true for both anime and miniature collecting/ gaming. All the best stuff is already out, and most of the new stuff is disappointing, but once in awhile something inspired comes along that allows me to admit to myself that I like anime, or I like table top war games, regardless of the genras' short comings as a whole.

pretty well said. my rule on anime is like my rule on tv. i look for shows that are different. as far as anime goes, i pretty much look for shows that don't involve high school, magical girls, and shonen heroes.

**BaronIveagh**

Sounds like something that's been macekre'd...

I'm not sure that's true because I see neither of those qualities in this picture.

**Shadowbrand**

Well this threads a piece of work.

It just shows Shuma can't take a joke. And some guy I sold some dark eldar called one of the mods a homosexual.
