Are you f'ing serious??? I was already thinking from the posts I've seen from you today to report for spam and this post has pushed me to the edge.

Would you ask a movie review how many genres are there for Hollywood movies?

Decepticon_25: Well, genres in anime are just like genres in books, movies or shows. Sure some of the terminology may be different, but you'll find romance, scifi, and other stuff in the anime world.

Tekka: For the time being, I have to use dubbinz.com and justdubs.net to watch anime. If there's anything you think I'd like on their lists, then feel free to let me know. I'm going to watch Kari Kano when I get a chance. I do have a quick question and this one may seem idiotic, but dubbinz has an anime in their lists as Kare Kano. That's the exact same as Kari Kano right?

I'v also mentioned it before, but I can't watch subs. I found out it wasn't because I'm lazy. I have an eyesight/hearing problem where focusing on 2 lagnuages at once makes me dizzy and thus end up with a headache. I'd have to learn the lagnuage first and be immersed in it for a while if I were to listen to it in the oringal lagnuage.

Yeah it's the same one.

That's weird, I've never heard of anyone having that problem before. Ah I don't know... Consider maybe, Full Metal Panic, Excel Saga, xxxHolic, Tsubasa Chronicles, Disgaea, and Death Note just as a start. But your tastes might not fall into line with mine so don't yell at me if you hate them. ;_;

First off, sorry about my abrasive posting yesterday towards D_25. Wether or not he was spamming my responce could have been lighter.

@robofreak, what shows have you already watched and really enjoyed? Not limited to anime per say, but that could help narrow down some ideas to refer you to.

News Credits: 12 · by **robofreak** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 10:42 pm

Well for real TV, the shows I enjoy the most are Heroes, House, Supernatural, and Doctor Who. I don't have too much time to watch TV during school, but I can pull off anime in between homework assignments thanks to my computer. I also like Better off Ted and I plan to watch Fringe soon. Also, stuff like CSI is cool to me. Apart from fiction though I do like my History channel.

Animes that I've watched and really enjoyed are:

Outlaw Star (except for episode 23. I can totally understand why CN cut that out of the airing)
Ah My Goddess
Hellsing
Hellsing Ultimate
Appleseed
Appleseed Ex Machina
Almost anything that's got Miyazaki's name on it
Gundam 00
G Gundam
Gundam Wing
Vandread
Trigun
Rurouni Kenshin
Samurai X
Devil May Cry
Code Geass

Tekka: I forget what exactly my doctor called it, but he said it's along the lines of Dyslexia. It's a rarer form though and is pretty hard to diagnose. They said it may actually go away in time though so I'm not worried.

So I'm watching a series called 07-Ghost, and it's really a mixed bag. I want to like it since the story seems interesting and things are quite bright and colourful. But the way the shonen-ai hinting is shoveled on and spread in thick layers makes me want to gag, and the sparkly slim faced bishonen everywhere smiling creepily and being... sparkly... are just... ick.

And so this one guy sacrifices the life of his sister to protect an 'oath' with his kawaii boyfriend. Gawd. Isn't it obvious where this is going to lead? That's right. "I hate you and I'm going to kill you for what happened to my sister! But I'm not going to do this until we've had sweaty sticky buttsecks! Raaaaaar!"

End.

Interesting, but do you know what? Not interested.

The best one is from a show called Genji which to my knowledge hasn't been released outside of japan which we showed a fan-sub of at our old monthy showcases.

long story short, guy is sucked into another world where he's the dead ringer of a deceased warrior, leading him to a conversation with a guy that more or less went like:

You, you look like my brother. I loved my brother, but I couldn't 'love' my brother. And you look just like the brother I loved....

you get the picture...

We lost a few people after the viewing that never came back. Afterward, almost every time we would have a viewers choice meeting, it would be on the ballet form with the understanding that if it was voted in, we still wouldn't show it again.

But were they sparkly?

Naw, it's not like they were vampires or anything......

which brings me to a side comment, I've seen packs of roving anime fangirls before, and those I can deal with, but the girls that are hanging out in-and-around Vancouver right now on the hopes of seeing (re: stalking) the cast of the twilight films, I just do not understand.

News Credits: 2 · by **Tekka** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 3:17 pm

Lol. I saw the beginning of the movie not too long ago, I was taken aback by how feminine the male cast was made to look, I'm not used to seeing it in mainstream movies. Though I still haven't watched the whole thing.

I'm really hoping that doesn't catch on.

Haven't read the books,
Haven't watched the film,
Don't plan to either.

Around the release of the movie I was quite critical of the series as it seemed to be that the author had more or less created a new breed of creature and just dubbed them as Vampires to take advantage of the existing romantic mystique regardless of the whole, "sunlight doesn't kill them, it makes them glitter" deal.

However in watching a special about the undead in movies, it dawned on me that waht she has done somewhat with Vampires, is really no different than what happened with Zombies after 'Night of the Living Dead' where Romero changed our perception of zombies into undead flesh eaters away from voodoo control.

Then there is the whole deal that traditional Vampires themselves are more a constuct based out of Bram Stokers Dracula than the folklore of eastern europe,

But I digress,

News Credits: 2 · by **Tekka** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 3:36 pm

Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time that Vampires have been re-imagined slightly for something, but this particular one seems a bit strange to say the least. Sadly it won't be the last time it happens either...

I love this quite appropriate quote:

"With bated breath and shaken faith we await the return of our Almighty Rig. Because without Prime, we're stuck with whiney Spider-Boys, metrosexual pirates, and koan-spouting kung-fu Christs in designer sunglasses and unisex clubwear. Because he died protecting us in '86, and nothing's ever been the same since. Because these days, the only real men left are giant robots."

Thus we read from the book of Primus.

Our Optimus,
who are from Iacon.
Bitchin be ty name.
Thy 3-in-1, thy will rock on,
on Earth as it had on Cybertron.
Give us this day our daily PSA,
And forgive us for season 3, as we forgave after return,
And lead us not to botcon scalpers,
and deliver us from Unicron.
For thine is the badass, the roller and the battle trailer
for ever and ever,
Booya!

Thus as fortold, Optimus must battle Raptor Jesus for spirital control of the interwebs. 8-}

That is most of what goes on between Wakka, Tidus, and Lulu in Final Fantasy X.

To be fair in both Dracula and Carmilla, the titular villains were able to survive in sunlight, however, it weakened them both, and they usually spent that time asleep.

As for Romero's Zombies, the only thing he really changed was how one becomes a Zombie. it used to be magic control, but then after Romero, the popular thing became a viral outbreak. It was still a reanimated corpse with no intelligence or self-awareness and only basic instincts. Unfortunately, Sparkly McPaleface went the other way around; how they're turned is kept the same, but the end result is very different.

Today I watched the last episodes of Birdy the Mighty S2. My grey mood perked up considerably when Sayaka made an appearance, but my hopes of her and Tsutomu getting back together were dashed when they didn't get to meet again because of Birdy having to fight Nataru.

Anyway, I'm glad she came back and was remembering Tsutomu just a little... It's just too bad he wasn't there before she had to leave again.

I'm a little frustrated with Guin Saga as well. I enjoy it quite a lot but I'm annoyed that every time a character is introduced they seem to die a few minutes later, no character relationships are being built and the story is not being built upon either. It feels like things are getting rushed through too much, and I have no idea if it was meant to be like this as I haven't read the manga, but I will make a point of doing so soon if I can. Hopefully things will slow down a bit now that they're finally out of the castle and some story can take shape.

last night nothing on TV,
GF sick in bed,
didn't feeling like playing wii

so i started watching Haruhi again, but this time in chrono order instead of broadcast order.

ooh daring.

Anybody watch the abridged animes that are somewhat popular on youtube? if so what are your thoughts about them, and what shows that haven't been done would you want to see?

News Credits: 2 · by **Tekka** » Wed May 06, 2009 12:30 pm

I think the abridged videos are great for series that are drawn out, boring and tedious. I.e, Shonen series with stupidly long fights w/side character commentary.

Like Bleach stopped being fun 100 episodes ago.

I only watch Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series. The original, accept no substitutes! It funny even if you hate Yu-Gi-Oh with a burning, fiery passion.

I occasionally watch Naruto Abridged, though.

In an episode of Sailor Moon I was watchin' (Episode 70 english I think) One of the villians looks like Paul Stanley (KISS) lol! She was black and had a white star on her face! Awesome episode!
