Favorite anime?

Anime Fans, are we dorks????

Serouisly, I was at a meeting today (I am a Cop) and I mentioned I watch Anime and the other cops were like

:sure:

What is wrong with Anime? I don't watch all that soft porn crap,
or that magic and demons from other universes vampire ghost type mess.

I watch good clean sci fi Anime . . . some guy even dissed
LEJI MATSUMOTO!!!!!!!!! HOW???

THE MAN WHO INVENTED HARLOCK SHOULD NOT BE DISSED!!!!!!!!!!

If you love Anime stand up . .
 
The thing is Anime carries around with it a porn like stigma due to the wide spread notoriety of films like Urotsukidoji and Wicked City. Not to mention series like Bible Black. As well as your colleagues looking at you thinking grown man cartoons = ...........

But that says Anime rules and if you get past the fact they are cartoons and you can appreciate the art it makes it just that much better.


Recently I bought a film called Sky Blue that took 7yrs to make and sweet [insert deity] did it look great!
 
DDD,

I agree I think it's "Grown Man/woman + Cartoons = Loser" that's the formula in their minds.

Look at Robotech, or Fist of the North Star (Hokuto Shin Ken, Nanto SUi Cho Ken) or HARLOCK . . . how can they deny the mystery the intelligence of HARLOCK . .. a legend .. look past his piracy and see what he represents, Emeraldas, Tochiro . . . . .Captain Zero . . the music is beautiful even though Zero is boring as all get out.

The Gun Frontier Harlcok stories are horrible though, unwatchable.

I still would liketo do a LOTR esque Robotech Trilogy . . .

Imagine the fame, the money, the Oscars . . .
 
Wow Zor you just spun off a whole list of Anime I have never heard of, lol!

There is a very valid reason, living in England we just don't get the Anime. The censoring laws are just odd.

It is a shame anime is one of the most overlooked genre's in the Western world because they are essentially cartoons. But there is more thought and multisided layers to the characters and plots than many many films coming out of Hollywood. I swear by films like Perfect Blue, Sky Blue, Space Adventure Cobra and Wind of Amnesia.

Still some Anime just don't make for good live action, Fist of the North Star sucked as a live action film. Personally I feel that they pick the wrong anime's, Perfect Blue if was made into Live Action with the narrative and plot would make for one of the best films ever.
 
Well after reading three pages I can not believe that no one here has mentioned Perfect Blue yet. That movie is absolutely head and shoulders above most of the LIVE ACTION movies I've seen. It's twisting plot, violent murders, and twisted view of the Jpop world were all amazing.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies. You need help and being THE DOCTOR I am prescribing you with an untested (well...on Humans anyway, The Horses seemed to like it, just kidding...) drug that will make you actually believe you are a talking cat from some random Anime series no one remembers. That should cure you of these very disturbing thoughts.

Now for Flashforward...I HAVE a job, SUCKA! And you have totally got it wrong all of us do not have ENOUGH time on our hands, we need more. That is why I am planning to do an Omnidimensional Convergence that will merge together all realities and thus by funneling the cosmic energies unleashed by their deaths into myself I shall become a Nexus-Being and shall grant more TIME for everybody! Hell if you are all nice to me I might even give you all your own Universes to rule over as Gods.
