Does anyone besides me watch Japanese animation?

Kirby Morrow - voice of Cyclops and Trowa Barton
Brad Swaile - voice of Nightcrawler and Quatre Reberba Winner
David Kaye - voice of Professor X and Treize Khushrenada
Scott McNeil - voice of Wolverine and Duo Maxwell [/B]

Being an obsessive fan of both shows, I can't believe I never noticed this. Now I know why I really liked Nightcrawler's voice just out of nowhere. He's my favorite Evolution character. I wonder if this is why.

my favorite anime series' i have to say are Lodoss War:Chk, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Serial Expiriments Lain and Ninja Cadets.

Movies: Cowboy Bebop : Knockin on heavens Door, The wolf brigade, Fist of the North Star, Dirty Pair: Project Eden, all things involving lupin, and Wicked City.

You ROCK!!! Finally, someone who is an obsessive of those shows other than me! You are now officially a member of the religion of Gundamism.

But I can only be a Wingist. I've tried to like other Gundam series. I really have. But they just don't do it for me.

But now I'm picturing Nightcrawler with blond hair piloting Sandrock, so all is well.

Randomly on topic --

1) Is G Gundam quite possibly the dumbest Gundam show ever? (and if someone wants say that it's not: please explain the Mexican Tequila Gundam )

2) Hey, Samnell's got Tsukasa as his avatar now. Have you seen all of .hack//Sign yet, Sam?

I watched every single stinking episode, it never got any better, the big kick for me was the United States secret weapon, the Statue of Liberty Cannon. It wasn't a bad concept but man it just got silly, and it was animated odd too.

No offense to the DB Z fans, but I call G Gundam, DRAGONBALL GUNDAM!!! complete with pointless fighting and voice activated weapons/attacks..

Sorry I expect much more from a gundam series.. and I like just about all of them except G for different reasons. The original was hard to like at times unless you accepted the overarching plot abut the evils of War.. the novels were actually much better than the show.

Gundam Seed is a strange mix of Wing and UC Cundam.. It's airing in Japan right now, and may be here in the states within the next two years officially... there are good fansubs out there already though, and they lack only a few weeks begind the original air dates.

I do take some mild offense at that. Dragon Ball Z is a great anime. The fighting is hardly pointless, just long and epic, neither of which are bad things. And the "named" attacks are cool, no two ways about it.

 

[jdavis]

The big difference I see is that DragonBall is supposed to be like that, it is designed to be sort of tongue in cheek, the combat isn't pointless at all (neither was the combat in G Gundam for that matter) and there is a huge character arc, it's just meant to be sort of good natured and fun. I don't know what the heck G Gundam is supposed to be, it's sort of a stylized Ninjas on Crack action adventure that ends up with the world being saved by the power of love. I really hated it when the mechs would get Human heads and whirl about like goofy ass tops not to mention the stereotype Gundams or the plot that had more holes than solid sections, or the fact that the first part and the second part didn't really match up at all. DragonBall (in all it's incarnations) is much tighter it's just doesn't take itself as serious as most anime, it's meant to be cartoony not realistic.

SHINING FINGER!!!

>Sigh< Some terms don't translate very well into English (assuming that it doesn't sound so stupipd in Japanese). Sounds like E.T.'s super attack before he phones home.
