The Anime Thread!
 
You a fan? What series' have you watched? Currently following one? What's your genre of choice? All that general stuff.

I was hooked on Toonami back in the day, but when its popularity started phasing out, my interest more or less did as well. Just got caught up in school & other stuff. But I watched almost everything on there... Big O, Outlaw Star, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Dragonball Z, etc. Plus I was (and still am) a huge fan of Pokemon. After most of 'em went off the air I was into other things, playing music mostly, and anime was the farthest thing from my mind.

More recently though I've been diving into it all over again. When I moved out of state I had to find a few new things to occupy myself with, and after a while some of 'em got stale so I started going to conventions. In doing so I saw how invaluable certain series' were to fans, kinda like (most of) us with the turtles. Plus I realized there was a lot more genres than just giant robot fighting shows (which I find incredibly boring usually). Not long after I got Netflix, which happens to have an extensive selection of anime so I gave a few shows a shot and since then I've been tearing through bunches of 'em one after another. EDIT: Now I have Roku, which runs Crunchyroll & other anime services, which have subbed series' old & new. Much better. I've become a terrible weeaboo since I made this thread years back.

Here's what I've watched so far (as of 7/4/2014) in the order of viewing-

Anime sucks.

...these days it does, anyway. I love the 90's and early 00's, though. It's especially awesome if you turn on the English dub. Hilarity ensues every time.

Sure I'm forgetting some, just too many to list.

I was just expressing an opinion without providing a cookie-cutter list, dude.

CyberCubed 11-13-2011 04:23 PM

I am not much of an anime fan to be honest. I watched Pokemon and Dragonball Z like most people did but that was the extent. Never bothered to get into anything else.

I was always more into videogames and Superhero cartoons.

SherlockJr 11-13-2011 05:39 PM

Used to be a big weaboo (for those who don't know, that term refers to an obnoxious anime fan who thinks Japan is the greatest place on Earth and throws random Japanese words into their vocabulary) back in my first two years of high school. I've since grown out of that, but I do like animation in general, so that includes anime as well. The only series I really like are Princess Tutu and Revolutionary Girl Utena. I also love Ghibli to death.:)

TheCanadiandrome 11-13-2011 05:55 PM

for me:

Dragonball
Dragonball Z
Dragonball GT, although not that big a fan
Sailor Moon
Various Pokemon Series'
Yugi-Oh, although to, not that big a fan

Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop are the only two I own on DVD.

I know this thread is a little old but I just have to know something real quick. Is Deathnote any good? Because that L character seems interesting and I think I might watch it.

愛 07-12-2012 04:07 PM

Death Note is good, but there are some plot holes in it. The story, while it tries really hard to be believable, the main character has the most durable plot armor I've ever seen in my life.

zkarlette 07-12-2012 04:13 PM

I really recommend Death Note, if you watch the movies too , you'll love "L".

Yes, DeathNote is really great, it is considered the top modern Anime by many

GK Punk 07-12-2012 10:18 PM

Death Note is pretty great. It's one of my favorites actually. (I Even own a replica of the Note Book.) It's a psychological Anime with a mix of the super natural more than anything so if that's your thing, you'll dig it.

Mr.Turtle 07-12-2012 10:24 PM

death note the anime is really good. the music n the voice casts n stuff i mean. together it's really good.

GK Punk 07-12-2012 10:28 PM

The music is fantastic in Death Note.
