[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1577688, member: 63"] *grin* I called it, like, two pages ago. It's impossible to change people's tastes. I'm a fan of a lot of anime, because there's a lot more quality genre fiction out of anime from Japan than there is out of live-action TV in the U.S. In the past decade, we've have three Star Trek series, Babylon 5, Angel, Buffy, the X-Files, Highlander, Hercules, Xena, and a handful of others. Anime had, literally frikkin' dozens of different series. While not all of them were of as high quality as, say, Angel in terms of writing, they could pull off the cool action sequences much better. Watch a well-crafted anime music video (recipe: 1+ anime series, spliced for its coolest parts; 1 song; lots of editing equipment), and you'll see some phenomenal images in anime. Overall there isn't as much movement in anime as in most shows on TV in the U.S., and dialogue is almost never witty in a manner I really like, but some of the situational humor is great. And the visuals are often gorgeous. I mostly just wanted to find out what it was about anime that incurred such rage in some people. Nearly all of the people who've replied and said they don't like anime have had fine reasons why they didn't, and only a few were angry at the style. If nothing else, this thread has been a trip down memory lane about different shows that I like. And thankfully, most everyone seems to agree that DBZ -- at least as shown in the U.S. without the sexual humor -- sucks. (But it's good for a laugh. In one game, the party sorcerer believed that his 'spells per day' replenished in a surge of golden energy every day at midnight. So, inexplicably for the rest of the party, each night he'd clench his fists and roar, "Arrrrgh!" as a bright glow flashed over him. *grin*) [/QUOTE]
