Current Anime Watching?

愛 · 07-20-2006, 02:07 PM

What anime are you watching right now? Currently, I'm watching Blood+ and Nana. I've got them all watched so far, now I'm waiting every week for a new episode to be subbed and released.

And just to throw this out there, I recently watched Evangelion again. Wonderful anime.

I just started watching the Nana anime. I like it so far, but for some reason I prefer the movie...

Other than that, Transformers Headmasters. Generation 1 f***ing rules I tell ya.

愛 · 07-20-2006, 02:14 PM

The movie really was awesome. I wanna buy it now....and I probably will.

**GK Punk** · 07-20-2006, 02:19 PM

I was thinking the same thing

I'd also like to track down the soundtrack for it.

Got the Metrodome DVD set, I take it? Masterforce is already out, I think. Can't wait for Victory, as that was the best of all the Japanese G1 shows.

And anime I'm currently watching? Well, I'm trying to watch Full Metal Alchemist but I keep forgetting about it and falling behind on the DVDs.

That depends, is the original 80's Joe cartoon an anime? It was made by Toei studios.

Sigma Six is only animated in Japan, with Americans covering the writing duties; just like how it was done in the 80's.

So it's up to you.

I'm currently watching no anime, and it's working pretty damn well for me.

What he said. Alchemist's ending was the end of good western translations, and anime's general entertainment value in general

Space Lieutenant Josh · 07-21-2006, 05:51 PM

I'm not one to watch much anime-- last one I watched was DBZ like 4 years ago (unless Miyazaki counts), but last night I couldn't sleep and I caught this show called Gokusen. It was pretty sweet.

**Krang** · 07-22-2006, 03:19 AM

I'm currently watching Black Jack TV and Black Jack 21. Not too long ago, I finished Yakitate!! Japan and Noein.

It's not possible to say that unless you can see into the future.

Also, I have a general comment to make: As with any other thread, please don't post here if you have some kind of personal grudge against the subject matter.

So acknowledging a particular anime I'm watching right now, repeat or otherwise, is me acknowledging I have a grudge against anime?

HA! CAUGHT YOU! WITH SEAN CONNERY!

I don't have a grudge against the subject at all...just not entertained as much, there will be other shows eventually in the same medium that will attain my attention, just not right now.

That comment wasn't specifically directed at you (which is why I used the term "general comment"). I only said that to try to prevent people from turning this into an "I hate anime" thread, since it was beginning to head in that direction. I should have put that comment above your quote rather than below it to clarify that a little more.

No, it wasn't. It was made by Sunbow Productions in the USA. Toei Animation only provided the animation for certain episodes of the show.

Unless of course, you consider any animated show that has animation done in Japan an anime.

As for anime, I don't watch any anime anymore besides Pokemon.

That's what I meant about it being "made" in Japan. The animation.

Way to conveniently ignore this part of my post:

Everyone has their own definition of "anime". Some say anything animated in Japan is anime, some say it had to have been animated for a Japanese audience, some say it has to resemble a certain art style, etc.

The Japanese have a much easier definition. Anything animated is anime. No need for snobbish anime-cartoon subcategories.

Zack Dogg · 07-22-2006, 08:57 PM

I was not ignoring your post. You said that the 80's G.I. Joe show was made by Toei, but I was stating that it wasn't. I was just saying that it was made in the USA. I'm not sure about all of these definitions anime is given, but people commonly use the meaning "Animated cartoons made and produced in Japan".

Besides, how would you tell the difference between acting snobbish or calmly correcting you and not trying to start a fight on the internet?

I just quit making the distinction at all. Half the shows people loved in the 80's that were conidered "American" animation were animatedn Japan, and a lot of shows on TV now that look like "anime" are made in Kansas or something. Hell, Batman TAS was mostly animated in Japan. The animators don't matter. It's the artistic design of the model sheets. Animation companies assemble shows like they're on an assembly line. They just draw what they're givin.

Style is dictated by the guy or gal who drew the model sheet. How percise they are is dictated by the budget they're given.
