Is any of the Transformers series (from G1 to Prime) considered anime? At least in Japan?

Headmasters, I think, along with Zone, Masterforce, and a few other in the G1 family I'm probably forgetting. RID and the Unicron Trilogy are all anime, obviously, so are Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo. The rest, G1, Beast Era, Animated and Prime, are all American made.

I tried watching the English version of the show. Atrocious compared to the original. Japanese voice actors are just so much better at putting life into the characters with their emotions and tones.

I cant really stand the original myself. I think the american actors are really good a the emotional scenes. Have you ever watched one of the sad scenes in english?

Yes, and it didn't have nearly the same effect. I'm sticking with the Japanese.

Orochimaru is a damn genius. I started reading the Naruto manga again from where I left off like 4 years ago from where Naruto fought Pain. (I made the spoiler thing for BP.) And stuff is getting intense.

JoJo anime I mentioned earlier started today.

Pretty cool stuff, not amazing, but they managed to fit 5 chapters into one episode so it's expected.

Animation's kind of weird though. It's like they tried to make it more of a comic than a cartoon which works in some cases (the animated sound effects) but not in others (parts of the fight scenes).

Been reading the Naruto flashback chapters. Still don't like the series but I wanted to know what was up, starting to think somehow Zetsu IS the Gedo Mazo...

So, still watching naruto. OK, so is everything after sasuke leaves on into the beginning of shippuden just one long filler arc or what? It's gone from the bad guy from episode one turning into a thundercat to fish people to meteorite powered freaks, and NONE OF IT IS RELEVANT.

Yeah, like 80 episodes of filler. It's probably what turned most people off to the series.

There are some good points in this long arc, but seriously, why the need for so many filler episodes? I can understand a small arc or two, like the one with the guy from episode one, that was fine, but this is overkill. It's not going to turn me off of the series, as I'm overly patient with these sorts of things, but its really bugging me.

What Rodimus said about Shippuden having alot of filler, is it even more than this?

It's kind of why I stick to the manga instead of the anime. I don't know anything about this meteor b.s. or anything about the movies. The same goes for Bleach. And plus, it distracts from what's actually happening about Sasuke and everything. I'd just rather not deal with all that crap.

So, what are you guys thoughts on the new DBZ Movie?

It's the first one to be made in some time, and akira toriyama says he's never been so heavely involved in a DBZ movie before. It will also take place in the ten years after buu's defeat.

What kind of opertunities could this open up for a good story? With Akira Toriyama co-writing, could it be as good as Wrath of the Dragon?

[Wigglez]

To be honest, I still don't know the plot to the movie besides that it takes place after Buu. And the trailer for it is just Goku standing there. I'll wait to see a story trailer before I make assumptions.
