Cold-VoiceI'm sorry, but most anime things that I have heard of has been crap. Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, Inuashi (the one with the wierd cat guy), Gundam Wing, and all those lame shows are the same thing. Poorly animated characters with no depth shooting at eachother, either with stupid looking, un-realisticly sized guns, or with 'energy beams' that they shoot through their hands, or hacking at eachother with swords, and worst of all it's sad because it all does so well. Now, I have seen some decent anime movies, the Matrix Shorts were alright, and...well...yea, I guess that's it. Anime should be removed from TV and the internet, or atleast try harder to make up some decent characters and storys. And no, I'm not sorry if I offended anyone.
Oh you silly person. Never have I seen any animator try so hard on the art but more on story. Yep, and the problem is more stupid stories for more stupid people (take example Pokemon and kids and... well crap). So you got a good point anime is sucking up, but don't generalize because all the anime you've seen so far are crap.
iplaystarcraft: "anime.... arnt those the cartoons they have in blockbuster that are rated "R"?
i dont watch anime...."
A Cartoon, look man if you think that Anime is a Cartoon you've got it all wrong a Cartoon would be Power Puff Girls or Johnny Bravo( I hate it becuase it's my name and I get teased over it ) perhaps the only Anime's you could compare to Cartoon would be Pokemon or Yugi Oh something like that.
Anime is much different it's a way of life for some. SO don't compare it to Cartoons[/quote]

there's this new anime series called Full Metal Panic. yea, i almost thought it was a sequel to FMA. but seriously, other than cool Mechs, Full Metal Panic is practically boring.

ironic, considering that your avatar has one of the most popular anime's in it. oh and cold-vioce, youre not gonna find good anime on toonami except samurai champloo, thats the only good one ive seen them put on so far. good animation, right amount of violence, and some nice insight of japanese culture.

yea i was going to say that, except... i dont know what anime is his avatar from.
It may be, but for some reason, I get really angry when someone calls anime a cartoon.......
..and what do you mean....anime is getting badder.....I'd say its been getting better.....havn't you noticed that everything is starting to "change" into anime.....its appearing more and more on television now adays.....many games imitating anime or have an anime feel to it are coming out......soon, anime will be the center of the world......
I voted for Bleach, because the characters have depth (each character has their own story about themselves), it has a good story line (have you even watched up to the current episode yet?), it only has 2 fillers so far unlike alot of other animes....., etc. Each villain has a reason to be evil, not just the "I want to be all powerful and conquer the world" reason........
Oh, and Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid is the sequel to Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu which was the sequel to Full Metal Panic.....so I'm guessing he was talking about the newest one which is still being made......
I've watched 35 different animes and Bleach happens to be my favorite. Naruto is good too but the fillers are starting to get annoying as well as the story line........
Alot of animes are really good (ex. Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach, Naruto, Gundam Seed, etc) but there are also anime that plain suck (ex. Pokemon, Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh, DBZ, etc)
Watching anime is also my favorite thing to do....gaming comes in second........
Oh....and....NEVER...call anime a cartoon....if you do, you can just go and..........
Anime is a cartoon. I will say that all I want, and frankly, it's usually a bad cartoon.
And the day Anime becomes the center of the world is the day that every human will die of stupidity. You are a living reason that anime is far too big in todays world. People can't base their lives around a cartoon, that's just rediculous. It's fine to watch T.V., and if you really like it, then it's fine to watch anime, but leave it at that, don't become one of those lowly anime nerds who's 35 and goes to anime conventions dressed up like their favourite character. There are seriously way too many people out there that have nothing better to do than to watch hours uppon hour of anime, and it's both worrying and sickening. People need to find something better to do with their time, like spending time with friends, instead of dedicating themselves to a fantasy world on the T.V.

Not all animations are "cartoons". I think you are getting the two confused and generalizing too much. It really depends who the target audience is.
Its basically no different then saying; "Cars have internal cumbustion engines, all cars have engines, therefor all cars must have internal cumbustion engines."
And any hobby can be unhealhy if not kept to a moderation. That inclused everything, not just anime, games, ect. -VGsatomi

you decide, frankly i dont really care if it is a cartoon. i dont like how people generalize anime as one thing. it would be like people generalizing american cartoons. my point? some suck, some dont; its not all the same thing(mostly)
and cold-voice, not all anime fans are "dedicated" as you say. the ones who are though, i pity them....until i make fun of them and pick on them; then it's just funny.
And the day Anime becomes the center of the world is the day that every human will die of stupidity.
too late for that, humanity has already died from stupidity due to reality TV(mostly FOX)
except samurai champloo, thats the only good one ive seen them put on so far. good animation, right amount of violence, and some nice insight of japanese culture.
