OT: Sorry to hijack this thread, but can anyone please explain to me why I should enjoy anime/manga (do another thread or something...) I really wanna know what makes them so good...cos apart from Ghost In A Shell and Akira..i still havent seen 1 single movie (or episode of any series) that made me go "damn, this is entertaining" or "damn this is good!".
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

I think it's the story lines of them. The only one I really enjoyed was appleseed just because it was so sci-fi and the action scenes were decent.

anime will always be a love or hate thing...and the fact is, about 90% (if not more) of the animes out there are a steaming pos. but when it comes down to some the really great ones, like full metal alchemist, death note, monster (i won't eben mention the cult classics here), i can only sum it up with one phrase: one of the greatest stories ever told.
for me, it's not about the medium, it's about what can be accomplished by using it instead of traditional real film media.

The same here, but in addition to the Ghost In A Shell and Akira I liked very much the
- Princess Mononoke [ Trailer ]
And a little bit less the
- Spirited Away [ Trailer ]
So, if you haven't seen Princess Mononoke give it a try

Have o tired death note?
I´m not a big anime watcher of anime, it bores me most of the times.
But death note is another thing, it truly is one of the best shows i´ve seen.
I´m not talking just anime, I´m saying one of the best tv series I watched.
not surprising the guy who creams his pants over anything japanese made this topic
thank you. Anime fuckin sucks ass. The stories, the voice overs, the ridiculous action scenes etc all complete shit. I'd rather watch an ep of martha stewart than anime.
Well, I will admit tho, I liked Ninja Scroll(s?). But aside from that one film, i think they anime sucks. Ive tried watching various shows and movies with my niece cause she likes it, but man, its so fuckin boring.
And as for Anime porn....anyone who can get hard (never mind orgasm) to cartoons/animation needs serious fuckin help.

Appleseed aren't typical anime tho. Appleseed was much more mature imo, and it didn't feature the good old jap anime style.
But thats just it - I really don't get the obsession with the "good old jap anime style". The ones ive seen are really badly drawn and are more or less slideshows rather than actual animations
anyway, sorry for going OT - I'll let you anime/manga fans continue with the real reason for this topic now cheers again for the replies.
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
my favourite anime is when the guy with the octopus penis rips some 12 year old school girl's asshole in two
12? more like 6 and it was 50 tentacle penises , fucking weeaboo's
fullmetal alchemist was good , death note also
that's about all the anime I could take , tried others but I could only enjoy them if I was 11 years old
Well as Evangelion and GITS have already been mantioned , and thusly the list of unquestionable master pieces decreased to ...0 I am left with only those more argueble and less popular works.
Hmmm...Now I see that the scene I considered strongest is not mantioned in the first post.
Spoiler:
The one right at the end where Shinji and Asuka are REcreated and are left to start humanity anew, and when Shinji in realizing his weakness tries and fails to strangle Asuka, she only wispers "Pathetic"
Also the one in the begiging where he..(well those who have seen the movie know what I am talking about)..over her comathose body...
So...now back to some less popular titles...
First and foremost:
The OVA to the manga "Angel Sanctuary"..This is the scene becouse of which I read the whole manga (20 damn volumes of pure esotheric and philosophical symbolism, mixed in several stories of tragic love and a war on EPIC scale)
Then I would say Blood + ,the ending, 2 minutes that put the otherwise uninspireing at some points plot on a whole new level of humanistic value and social symbolism...Hmm..Can't find a youtube for the ending...
The third place in my book would go to Raxephon, even though it is easy to concider it a quality rip of of Evangelion, it is actualy the polar oposite of the ideas expressed in Evangelion and EoE.If Evangelion is all about how suffering and real life expiriance alter your perseption on reality and determine your feelings on an It level,Raxephon is about how your emotions and desires create your perseption of the world and are intune with your mind and how you shape the world according to them.
If Evangelion places the main character as a victim of the socium and prisoner of his own unexpressed needs always changing his perseption of the world and never having his own, Raxephon's protagonist ,even if manipulated by others is always realizing his own motives for doing something and uses his own emotions as a fuel to do it...Basicly it is like this : Shinji - "What the others think, determines what I do" Kamina- "What I feel ,determines what I do and what others think"...
Also this whole concept is realized through the role that song and art in general have as symbols in the series, making it an image of some..harmony between the world an the individual(song shows that you are in harmony with yourself , and thusly ocntorling the world around you, and art is a literal physical projection of your spirituality,that can directly influence others)....So the strongest moments in this one as I see them are the 30 minute OVA that was exporing whe thoughts of one of the main female characters,The Oppening itself(one of the few in anime that makes sence) and
Spoiler:
The part where Ayato (the protagonist) escapes from the Sphere with one of his school friends(that actualy loves him) and she slowly turns into a Mu(the "altered humans") and as all MU in the end becomes connected to a Dolem(think EVAs, made of clay) , but does not realize it...The Dolem is an avatar of ones emotions and is fueled by her feelings for him.So as the hero leaves to fight him off, she is left to wait for his return, while thinking about her love for him.During the battle the wounds and pain the Dolem sustains also hurts her and she thinks is created by the pain she feels from her unadmited love.In the moments before the Raxephon deals the final blow, she can no longer take it and screams her love for him outloud ,and the lights of the whole city flicker and form the caligraphical symbol for love and all lightboards in the area of the fight display a "I will always love you" message...The Raxephon then smashes the Dolems head...For me this was the moment the series climaxed...
Saddly all I could find on youtube connected to it is the OP:
And last but not least I would place Ergo Proxy...not single moment or an episode..ALL OF IT...it is just...well frankly I don't know where to start...Damn it would take me a different post only to describe all the philosophers they interprite or oppenly quote,Descartes,Nitzshe, Plato,Sarthr,Haideger,Locke,Francis Becon,Fukou...And that is witout counting the theologists...
should be mentioned that the ghost in the shell movies and tv series are very different in world and storytelling approach
both should be sampled seperate
the Rurouni Kenshin OVAs are also some of the finest animes i've seen - just stay far from the regular tv series as it again is completely different, and completely awful imo
hey, bugs bunny rocks man! sylvester the cat is awesome
Fuck Sylvester,
Daffy all the way.
yeah, the duck is cool too
But I like Sylvester the best man. He's so devious and you know if the cartoon had any shread of "realism" (as far as realism goes in cartoons), he'd have got that stupid little queer as bird...i hate tweety. stupid yellow biatch bird lol
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
