I enjoy the narrative spontaneity and the laboured wordplay jokes. Also, I like the coupling of mature themes with whimsical breezy humour. definately agree on that. most american cartoons are geared toward kids or have really immature humor. anime has thicker story lines and generally great characters. i am also a very visual person, so i love the complexities of the animation. miyazaki movies MUST be seen on the big screen in order to get the full effects of the scenes. he adds so many gorgeous details that you would miss on the small screen. i haven't watched anime in a long time. i completely lost track of "full metal alchemist." i like the more sci-fi stuff than fantasy. i hate "inu yasha" and "fruits basket." _________________ http://thegirlinthebearhat.tumblr.com/ |

I enjoy anime for several reasons. I really enjoy listening to the Japanese language. Most dubs I've watched are miserable, so I stay way from those. I also really enjoy the culture. Especially their history and some anime series portray that history, or aspects of it, fairly well (Rurouni Kenshin to name one). One of my favorite reasons is the simple fact that if you can draw it, you can create it. They can do so much more with animation than with live actors so they get to create some really unique stuff. I've been pulled to it since I was a kid, so you could almost say I've grown up with it. |

I'm rather fond of Fruits Baskets; sometimes it grates a little, but the unabashed loveliness of it all cheers me up. Also, it contains a remarkable amount of gender confusion which is handled in a pretty interesting way. _________________ "A little less love, a little more common decency." - Kurt Vonnegut |

Not particularly fond of anime or mangas. My sister seems to adore them. Do you get something called "Thorgal" in the U.S.? It's a belgian/polish comic about a man born in the Viking world who has to accomplish a number of tasks etc. _________________ http://www.eisley-italia.tk ! "Δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω" |

I really like certain animes. Light-hearted themes and such, like Kare Kano, Marmalade Boy, and Princess Tutu. (Very girly, I know) The darkest types of anime that I actually enjoyed watching are DN Angel and Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok. My aunt is from Japan and she used to give my sister and I bunches of copies of various Miyazaki films and television shows when we were little. The films weren't dubbed or subtitled so I have no clue how my sister and I understood what was going on when watching them. _________________ Who I am , things I do, and what my ears enjoy. |

I tried watching Argento Soma with a friend of mine a few weeks back. My was it underwhelming. It's basically a poor man's Evangelion. _________________ Coprophiliacs make sh*tty lovers. Flickr Transvaal IV - Myspace : Virb Deep Thoughts About Shallow Subjects |
