Actually I can understand why DBZ is dumped on. The couple of times that I have attempted to watch it I as completely turned off by the animation. It looked and felt rushed... Because of that, I never seriously bothered to get into the "plot" (Which simply seemed to be words spliced together...

Where is this definitively documented????? I have a DM who (understandably) like to have the actual proof.

Did a search and came up empty..... Title says it all.

Ok, that is certainly true - classifying all anime as one entity is grossly unfair to it as a medium. So the question then becomes, why is all of this "good" stuff that is aparently available in Japan not being imported for mass consumption here in the States or shown on the Cartoon Network?

Celebrim, Thanks - that was kind of what I was after - and seems to coroberate what I was seeing.... Again, this is not to slam those who like Anime. After all, I like Kylie Minogue and Britney Spears while recognizing for what it is.....

1 and 2 I will certainly grant you.... However number 3 - Do you think that this is actually the case, it seems to me that Anime is as much at fault for rbeating the dead horse - after all how many versions of Denon Huntes are really needed????? More thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Re: Re: [OT] Why is Anime so popular??? Oh, I see the pattern and recognize it as a prime contributor - however, it seems that the percentage of good vs bad anime seems much higher than other forms of popular culture - which leads me two one of two conclusions.... 1) I must be missing...

Tsyr, while I can understand your sentiment, I seriously ask the question - especially since I used to like Anime. However, now that I have children, I find that my time is more limited and as such have to be more discriminating about what I whatch and like to whatch quality (of which I agree...

In fact, you will find that in a great many countries, english is the de-facto language of business. when I was over in the Netherlands working for a Telcom - all of our meetings were conducted in English - even though I speak Dutch... Even more shock (at least for the Yank) was when we had...

As a fairly serious question, I have been wondering why is anime as an overall medium so popular??? I ask this because so much of what is available -either at the store or on television - seems well, bad. Sure there are exceptions like Ghost in the Machine, Kiki's Delivery Service, etc...

and yes, the site is in Portuguese

I wholheartedly disagree... If anything I would say that Americans are embracing different cultures more than ever. I am of Dutch decent - but my 4 year old son is learning Spanish when he watches Dora the Explorer. His favorite food is Sushi - but he loves dropjes (Dutch salted licorice)...

I work for an Israeli company and will likely have to go there soon.... does that count??? The most interesting thing to get used to is that they have a different work week - Sabbath is on a Saturday and they work from Sun - Thur - makes coordinating schedules......interesting.

I do not disagree that it could handle it, but i just think that there are better systems for this sort of thing - and personally do not think that Hero is a great fit for modern non-super games - I would think that the campaign would get bogged down in the combats. in a supers game I am happy...

First and foremost, I have to say that I have enjoyed Champions every time that I have played it. That being said, why is he using the Hero system for this?????? Champios/Hero is really good with 4 color smash them up action - not so good for more realistic type campaigns - I am wondering why...

The Retreiver seems a might high - I would put it on par with the Sighthound. (and I would bump the sighthound spot up to +5 to compensate for the lost scent feat- or better yet, give them skill focus, spot) Additionally, your estimates seem fine for a 1 on 1 battle. However, the true CR bump...

Nope, I mean million but that is just for my division of my company. I can't speak for our company or software as a whole - which would be in the 10s of Billions

Like many others on the discussion I feel that piracy is moraly and ethically wrong. When I was in college - I used to have more than my fair share of "gold-edition" software - using the justification of: 1) I am poor and can not offord it or 2) If I like it I will buy it later (which 90% of...

Incidently, if a nuke was detonated on US soil (harbor) we would got to DefCon 1 - not 2. At that point, we would consider ourselves in a state of war.... but it is a minor point. Second, the US is currently undertaking a concerted effort to reduce their arsenal to 2000 weopons (along with...

In the most recent isue of Dungeon, there was an adventure with a bad guy being trapped in a good temple, but is thiiiiiiiiis close to escaping. Basically, the town that the adventures come o has a cleric of Blablabla god that recognizes that they are not strong enough to put the genie...
