What kind of anime? o_O

Or which anime? Personally, I like Bleach =D I'm just about to watch ep 220 which has just downloaded completly =D
 
I would but I haven't even heard of that anime XD

What's it about? Maybe I could look it up =D
 
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjo-2Ng53eY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjo-2Ng53eY</a><!-- m --> that is part one of episode one it tells a bit of what its about
 
The last one I really enjoyed was Code Geass =D

Never heard of Urotsukidoji though o_O
 
This whole entire moe thing is getting out of hand in my opinion. At one point it was seen as being a niche part of anime, while the rest reached for the most part a relatively normal demographic. However once the advent of shows like Evangelion and the shift to digital animation from cell animation happened, this demographic completely changed. Although at first it was a completely subtle change, it is now quite the opposite situation from about ten years ago. The majority of shows that are made now are made to cater to a very specific subset of otakus. Between shows made recently and shows made ten years ago, you can't tell me that there is a very drastic shift in the style of the shows.

One of the major arguments that people have made as to why the shows feel different is because of the actual directors. Old directors like Noburo Ishiguro or Rintaro aren't getting as much work anymore. Instead, the people who grew up watching Space Battleship Yamato or Harlock are now making anime. As pretentious as it may sound, the people who made anime with a purpose and intention to make a story and narrative through cell animation are now gone for the most part. In their place are people who instead seem to be more focused on cashing a check and growing in popularity. I mean honestly, what else would be the point of shows like Minabi Straight which can be seen as just flat out pedophilic?

This thought and mind set doesn't really work on the foreign markets where anime is in, such as America or Europe. However other countries like Singapore or Korea have a very similar situation. I don't really understand the point of these fetish shows and it frustrates the heck out of me because I just can't get into it as much. As a child I love to watch action packed shows with robots, sexual content and violence. Sure a lot of these things are there still, but instead they are also entwined with cat ears, little girls, shrine maidens, etc. Just like at Kanozuki No Miko, which has all of the previously stated fetishes in it. Coincidentally, it may be one of the worst shows made in recent years despite the extremely high animation quality and pretty cool mechanical designs.

I used to be a very big anime fan, and I'd like to think that I still am. However I'm finding myself more and more nostalgic to old shows instead of new ones now. To me it seems shows are just getting more and more generic, and I think that's one of the main frustrations I have with anime lately.

I've actually been trying to find some Bastard! episodes for awhile. I know there are 6, but I have only seen 4. Though, I'm not sure if it was an anime that was supposed to only have 6 episodes, since the manga itself was longer. @___@

Another anime I am looking into is A Record of Lodoss War. My brother has said that Berserk was a good anime, however I haven't had a chance to watch it, really. I do agree that the new animes seem just, "KAWAAAII BIG BOOBS CARMENDANSEN EEEEEEEIIII~!!!11!" and such... I agree Zal's post that, I too, am more into the old rather than the new.

Laugh at me if you want, I do enjoy Yu Yu Hakusho. Though... the ending was a bit rushed compared to the earlier episodes, which was disappointing. :/ I absolutely ADORED Soul Eater, which I would recommend to anyone; granted it is a newer anime, however it is brilliant, bloody and all around crazy. I'm going to be honest when I say the last episode was an EPIC disappointment, but the manga is still going; so here is to hoping the anime continues. I mean, seriously, what anime has a moon that looks like this?

Though, to be honest, I am more in the manga scene then anything else at this point; it seems less disappointing then the animes these days.
 
Nice moon o.o

And heh, I like mangas and anime just the same, though I prefer mangas in some cases, like Love Hina and Magister Negi Magi ^__^
 
Actually, I found D.N Angel really lame, to be honest. It was repetitive, annoying and I couldn't get past episode 2. xD To each their own, though. As long as you enjoy it, that is all that matters.
 
im a fan of Crest of the stars, banner of the stars, banner of the stars 2, FLCL, and gateway 21
