As I have never watched Blood+ and can only recall the OAV of Evangelion, I really can't make any type of logical evaluation for, or against those. I was more referring to things like Trigun, Hellsing Ultimate (Seras Victoria not withstanding), Claymore, Berserk, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Gungrave, Vampire Hunter D/Bloodlust, Space Captain Harlock, Space Battleship Yamato, etc...

Actually I have been wondering the same thing as Elmofongo, although not because of the skin colour, but the faces, mainly the eyes. Those giant eyes make them look like anything but Asian.

(Where does this thing about Asians being yellow even come from? Skin colour ranges from white to brown, but not yellow. Unless you would also call Hispanics yellow)

i personally love anime...........but lately i feel the quality for most has gone down.


Many openings having generic sounding J-Pop (well, i consider almost J-Pop terrible, but whatever)
Recycled Plot Points
Recycled Character personalities (i really want Tsunderes to go away, i hated them the first time i saw them, i hate them to degrees you cannot fathom)
Moe.......seriously, i hate Moe as much as i hate the sodding Tsunderes........which is ALOT.


JRPGs tend to be guilty of these to.

The movie was an Anime masterpiece heck the whole series never used anime tropes all the time like everyone falling down because of something stupid or again in the same situation having that sweat drop on the back of thier head and most importantly not making stupid faces.
I hate it worse when the protaginist is a level headed guy while is love interest is a bipolar bitch :P

that would be a Tsundere...........and i want them to go away and never return.

And Kemono no souja Erin or Seirei no Moribito, to pick a couple with wonderful female leads. But of course, as you say, there's also this stuff...

Oh worse, both protaginist and love interest are tsundere to each other, goodness I hate that so much.

like i said, never to return.

I like anime(not in general though, some of it good and others are terrible like anything else).

Anyone who thinks they hate anime in general should try watching something like Monster. Not all of it has lolis, giant robots, and spiky hair.
I can't agree here, if someone hates Hellsing Ultimate they will not enjoy the manga. It's a pretty faithful adaptation.

At least the song was good. :P

The series was Dubbed in English twice with the American Dub and the International Dub except the American version was stopped at about Halfway it is possible to purchase the Int'l Version on DVD

I used to watch it every morning before school

I'll have to look for it then, I really wanted to see the series in dub. Thank you. :)

Anime is great, I still prefer it over most Western style animated films/TV series

AKIRA was the first serious anime I saw, it just blew me away. Since then I've seen a lot of great anime. I'll just name a few since the list is so immense.

They didn't finish the english dub. Was very disappointed how it just ended with no resolution. They pulled the same thing with Exo-Squad, major cliffhanger (though not an anime per-se)

Ah dang, yeah they did that with D. Gray-Man's dub which is sad because it was a rather good series. At least they finished the last arc of the dub, rather than leave as much lack of resolution. :(

Only comment is, its addictive & everyone have their favorites.
