Does anyone besides me watch Japanese animation?

The reason some/most girls love it is that they leave you hanging when it comes to the relationships of the characters. You have no idea how many heated debates I hae been in discussing wether or not a certain character was homosexual. Plus...they're hot. No they really are. I have posters of them hanging on my walls, and I sketch them in my free time.
P.S. Would love to discuss likes and dislikes about the series and movie with you.;)

One of my female friends whose an anime fan judges her shows by the characters' hair. (That's not the only thing she judges them by, and she actually has pretty good taste.) But she really likes the hair in Gundam Wing :rolleyes:

Actually, I'm pretty fond of Gundam Wing, myself. I have a killer super-size wall scroll of the Wing Zero versus the Epyon in outer space that is just amazing. The action scenes are good, but they could use more of it. But you just gotta love the mecha in Gundam Wing: the Wing Zero, the Epyon, Deathscythe and Shen Long are all second only to the original Macross Veritech in coolness.
 

The ambigous relationships are probably why a lot of the guys I know disliked it. Too much bishie in one place. I figure that Wu-Fei, Heero, and Duo were quite heterosexual; Trowa and Quatre are another matter :p (note: as I understand it, Wu-Fei is actually a widower -- that's part of what's wrong with him -- and the girl that performs with Trowa in the circus is actually his long-lost sister, though I have no idea when either of them figure it out).

The Endless Duel OVA was interesting.. ("Are all of your shields up?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "Um, y-y-yes.." "Okay." *fires*)

Dunno just what there is to say about it, though... Of course, it's also been a couple years since I saw it, too.
 

My favourite anime...

Hellsing. This is how vampire anime is to be done! And I want those sunglasses.
Rurouni Kenshin. One of the first animes I ever saw. Still the best, even though the quality dropped in the last twenty episodes.
Record of Lodoss War. It has its weaker moments, but overall... that's D&D, alright.
Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is weird, freaky, and occasionally very sick, but in a good way.
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Gets the honor of being the best dubbed anime I've ever seen. Excellent.
Princess Mononoke. Legendary animals! Tentacles! Guns! Bliss!
Vision of Escaflowne. Both the movie and the series are rather good. The fantasy mecha are an interesting idea, and one I'd like to see translated to D&D.
Love Hina. For some reason, I identify with Keitaro. Sad, huh?

I am currently waiting for my anime supplier to get me Trigun, Handmaid May, and Slayers Try... They're rather good, he tells me.

Oh, and by the way...
Vampire Princess Miyu. This is how vampire anime is not to be done!

I hadn't bought any new anime since Evangellion, I went out to get some new stuff but came back with a older series Blue Seed perfect collection, I'll let you know how it turns out after I watch all 650 minutes of it.

I need to go through all my old anime a catalog what I have.

Now can you guys see why I'm single? *Sigh* If none of you fell asleep drooling on your computers I'd be happy to discuss my mental issues.:confused:

Nah, you just need to find a good geek bf :) I went and found a geek gf who understands why I get giddy over animated characters.

I'm currently trying to watch hacksign, but having some issues with figuring out what order the episodes go in. I suspect I've got ova mixed in with the tv eps :p

Other anime I like: (Don't expect justifications for some of these :p)
Tenchi Muyo
Sailor Moon
Cardcaptor Sakura (sometimes I think seri would sell me for new episodes of CCS :p)
Macross Plus
El Hazard (ova more than the tv eps)
Slayers
Vandred
Full Metal Panic
Ranma 1/2
Eva
Utena
Bubblegum Crisis
Key the Metal Idol
Princess Mononoke
Battle Angel (though more the manga than the movie)
Kiki's Delivery Service
My Neighbour Totoro
Akira - manga rocked, movie was good, much better in the latest release.
Devil Hunter Yoko
Burn Up/Burn Up W
and I'm sure I'm missing a few.

I've watched some digimon but missed most of the latest season. I have the movie on tape, went to see it in theaters.

Anime I dispise -
Now and then here and there. TOO DEPRESSING!

Stuff I want to watch:
Escaflowne
Trigun
Nadia
Fushigi Yuugi
the rest of Eva
Lain
Kimagure Orange Road
Bubblegum Crash
Marmalade Boy
Ah! My Goddess
Appleseed

This is just a partial list, I'll finish it when I get home

Thank You! I agree that Duo, Heero, and wufei were hetersexual, and yes, Trowa and Quatre are a completely diferent thing all together. I mean the blond wore a pink shirt through the entire episode. And does anyone else have a problem with Dorothy's eyebrows? And I'm not even gonna go into the gundam scientists and their looks.
And Wufei is a widower. In fact, he named his gundam 'Nataku' after his deceased wife meilan, who called herself nataku, their Dragon God.
And Chunt-tzu, Yes the hair rocks. You might go as far as to say that the people in the anime world have not yet invented the comb. Most of them just wake up and hit the road, but then again, other fans like myself may find that sexy.
And lastly to thatdarncat, believe me I have tried to find a good nerd boyfriend but have been unsuccesful in the search. Maybe I should aply for that Bachalorett t.v. show...:(

No no no :) The secret is not to look for a Nerd bf, look for a Geek bf. Believe me, there is a difference.
