Though I'd like to try Double Down from KFC.

Don't, I ate it so you wouldn't have to.

Because not many people know Taboo said that. Never explain the joke.

He just wanted to point out he knew who Strucci was.

Here's the deal.

Since the latter half of 1998 many if not most 'anime' are exactly the same thing over and over.

Sure, there may be gems mixed in the massive shit mounds, but walk into a video store blindfolded and pull something off the shelf 9 times our of 10 you'll find yourself with something they wouldn't force war criminals to watch.

Within that 10% of the 'worthy' material you find, some of it is going to be far too pretentious for its own good despite actually looking nice and presenting original ideas, OR it's part of some ridiculously long series based on a comic where the source might be interesting but the series has been either drawn out too long for its own good OR cancelled before it could go anywhere interesting.

Thus is the state of anime today.

Oh, and since they started using computers 99.9% of it looks like shit anyway.

Anime was good.

Anime can be good.

But manga is the most reliable source.

And if that wasn't enough to convince anyone, Robin's voice actress.

(OOOOOOOooooooOOOOOH!)

Most of it right now is creepy.

[Strange_One]

not you guys, too

[Greg]

Run while you can. But stick around the LOST thread.

two more weeks :(

The last anime I watched was Samurai Champloo, years ago.
Like Greg said nothing interesting anymore... altough I saw some trailers of Miyazaki's spirited away and really want to watch that.

If after finishing One Piece Oda becomes an anime director...

[JERK DISEASE]

Anime/Manga was cool as hell in the 80's, half-way through the 90's it started to get really fucking fruity.

[Darkstorm]

Just over a month ago a bunch of new series started.

One of them was about 2 sisters who want to marry their brother.

Where have you gone guyver.

[ChesCa]

Eh, I'm almost a pure manga guy, but there are some animes out there worth watching just to see the scenes animated (FMA Brotherhood and Soul Eater for examples).
Then you get the underrated Mononoke (not Princess Mononoke, the one with the killer cat), which had an interesting premise, consistent art and ended before it got old.
Unlike One Piece, Bleach and the like, which are quantity over quality behemoths.

[Airflow]

Anime is when you blend up a manga and serve it to children. Cool for kids but don't take it seriously.

You guy made the forum become nostalgic everywhere.

[captain usopp]

meh, i will agree that anime these days isn't the same, but I still prefer to watch stuff rather than read it. watching the OP anime, it bugs me that the quality isn't in the art like the early episodes, but I still watch it. That, and i dun like reading comics on PCs

[Darkstorm]

There are these things called "comics" that you can buy in these places called "shops" that solve that problem.

Libraries are a nice alternative to, check a bunch of the English OP volumes out at no charge, and bring them back within the allotted time of 3+ weeks.
