Has anyone else here never gotten into anime? - Page 5

Is there anything you don't have a problem with, though? Even sh*t you clearly have no interest in makes you angry.

give me a decent storyline with amazing action, and little to no 'fan-service', and ill be happy with it still.

Yeah, I'm kind of able to tune it out myself. For some series it fits, for others I tend to just ignore it.

Hey Mona, have you ever watched the Excel Saga or Wallflower: Perfect Girl Evolution? I enjoyed both; you might want to give 'em a whirl.

Excel is great because it basically just satirizes all of the different genres of anime.

I also really enjoy Wallflower: PGE because it kind of reverses the harem-girl genre - it's a group of 4 bishies hanging with this one girl, trying to give her a makeover (I'm simplifying the plot a lot, but that's the jump-off point for the story).

Oh, you should also check out Get Backers as well - it's fantastic (well, I really liked it anyway).

Thanks for the recommendations, I have not seen any of the amine's that you mentioned, but I will definitely give them a try. If you like reverse harems you may like Ouran High school Host Club. It is a pretty fun reverse harem.

I watch some anime ^_^ I used to watch more....but I got tired of all the fan-service...and the disrespect toward women.

I don't care how awesome a girl can fight....if they have to keep showing their panties or boobs bounce I'm out.

all I read faithfully right now is Naruto.

Part 1 Naruto is still one of my favourite Animes of all time. Shippuden started decent and had a strong middle section but the final arcs have been absolutely god-awful!

*pennydreadful* · 07-02-2014, 12:33 AM

Thanks for the rec, Mona - I'll suss it out. Hey, one good thing to come out of this thread - we've got a great little anime suggestion exchange thing going on for the folks who are into it.

Thanks Cubed!

*Andrew NDB* · 07-02-2014, 12:40 AM

I've enjoyed some, say, Miyazaki anime movies, but I don't really consider myself a fan of it or its quirks in mainstream.

PLEASE stay away from the anime...its...well...awful. Read the manga, and I promise you, you will not regret it.

*pennydreadful* · 07-03-2014, 04:15 AM

Yeah, I kind of preferred the Naruto manga myself.

I have read the manga! The Shinobi World War arc is actually better in the Anime IMO. But ever since Kaguya's revival, the manga has been complete sh!t.

I tried watching Naruto. I got to the 4th episode and I quit. I hated it.

*Netkeeper* · 07-03-2014, 07:40 PM

I was able to stomach some of Naruto's manga, mostly because I was able to get over the garish outfit of the titular "ninja" when it wasn't coloured, but the anime... I couldn't even sit through a single episode.

A friend of mine wants to try to get me to try the manga again and hey if she can provide physical copies of it, I'll give it another go. I can't read manga online, as the solid white is far too bright for my eyes to look at for any reasonable length of time.

*pennydreadful* · 07-03-2014, 08:27 PM

Did anyone here like Bubblegum Crisis; either the manga or the anime? (And Cubed, I'm aware that BC has fanservice so don't even bother pointing it out.

)

JamieH · 07-03-2014, 09:52 PM

If you mean the original BGC (2032, OVA, cut down to only 8 episodes because it was cancelled from poor sales), yes. The music of it is just 80's awesome sauce. Konya wa Hurricane is one of my favorite anime songs. I'm also a sucker for Kenichi Sonoda's character designs.

The original had a Dark Horse comic done by Adam Warren, same guy that did the Dirty Pair Dark Horse comic. I think only the later TV series, 2040, had a manga.

*pennydreadful* · 07-04-2014, 01:08 AM

Yeah sorry Jamie, I should've specified a bit better with that one that there were two separate anime! I loved Priss in the manga (who am I kidding, I love Priss, full stop

).

I did like the soundtrack for 2040 as well as for the OVA... apparently they were planning on doing a live-action movie at some point but I think it's sort of stuck in development limbo.

JamieH · 07-04-2014, 02:27 AM

Yeah, the original BGC basically bombed in Japan. But it boomed in the US, an article on it in something like NEO will still pop up from time to time. There was several articles and features on it in Animerica back in the day. Also, we lucked out with AnimEigo doing the translation and distribution of the OVA.

It is still one of my favorites. There is a live music video of Konya wa Hurricane. It's not too special, but it's still pretty cool to see Oomori Kanuko and SILK rocking on stage. So you can kind of pretend it's Priss and the Replicants.
