[QUOTE="BroccoliRage, post: 3272485, member: 38402"] I'm not an anime fan. I don't enjoy drawing the same character with different hair fifteen time over, I LOATHE the writing in most anime (Inuyasha has the clumsiest scripts ever, and the worst dialogue of any television show), and I enjoy most of the American written stuff that sort of falls under the anime umbrella much more than I do. Fullmetal Alchemist and Ghost in The Shell have excellent dialogue for the most part, but they are the exception, not the norm. I really hate the face-faults, too, it can ruin all the comedy in a scene. I dislike the freeze-frames when an arrow shows up to point out something you should be noticing on your own (thanks for the vote of confidence, anime producer!). One thing that will ruin an entire show for me, however, is that "screaming out the name of the kewl mewve you're going to do" business, god that stuff sucks. Some of the names are insanely long (Iron Reaver Soul Stealer! Grrr!) and it's always the same thing. The world turns to nothing but some horizontal lines and one solid color in the background, while some ridiculous name is being shouted out. I tried to puzzle this out; perhaps it's magic, and these stupid names being screamed are the incantations. But, no; it happens in the sci-fi anime as well. It doesn't make any sense then, as there's nor real justification for it but silly fan-service. Really, if I ran up to any of you with the intention of punching you in the jumblies,and I made sure I screamed, "Fist of Whammo! Fiiiiiiiiist oooooof Whaaaaammoooooo!" every time, wouldn't you start to pick up on a pattern? Why the bad guys don't just step aside as soon as the screaming begins and the world fades to green horizontal lines is beyond me. The examples of anime I listed are literally ALL I will watch. I have friends who adore anime, and will watch anything as long as it conforms to anime standards. I'm the opposite, I usually won't watch anime, as I've seen so much utter crap bearing the banner: Ronin Warriors, Samurai Shodown, 199X, FLCL, Voltron, Trinity Blood, Paranoia Agent...the list doesn't end. Most of the time it's the writing that really gets to me, but over reliance on the aspects of anime that drive me will make me dislike the show as well. The stop'n'go animation of so much of it (like Inuyasha) also irritates me. [/QUOTE]
