No Bones produced the manga and the anime that Stan Lee created. It was a pet project Stan wanted to try and Bones helped him make it a reality. Unfortunately, the anime was boring and just made no sense. It was...exactly what you think, an American with little to no knowledge of Japanese anime attempting to make an American cartoon as an anime. It is a bland, uninteresting story with massive plot holes and little to no explanation for anything that happens filled with 1 dimensional characters.

Stan Lee's Marvel characters were different and unique because he approached the matter with the intent to be different. This is why we get characters from Stan Lee like Spiderman, The Thing, Scorpion, several X-Men who actively try to get rid of their powers. His characters had emotional depth at a time in comics where everything was flat and 1 dimensional. He is the guy that took the very black and white world of comics and painted the whole thing Grey with help from Jack Kerby of course.

Then he went crazy and green lighted some terrible movie adaptations, created a piss poor reality show full of nuts, and now he seems to have IMO insulted anime by creating something just like the comics he is directly responsible for helping to kill.

Maybe I expected too much from it.

To me, the reason that he tried to do it was for the factor of how big Batman: Gotham Knight was. It made a lot of roar in the comic industry due to how the flow of art was and character development. To me, I feel that Heroman was nothing more then Stan's make to get young kids into comic/manga again.. There is a lot of loss in the comic industry due with people thinking bad about it. Like much of every industry. But, to me, Stan Lee is going at it at a kids level. SO, who else to go and make it? Bones. Look at Marvel Universe that's coming out.. It's tailored to young kids. I think he's learning that it's the young kids that need to be reshaped in this world.

I haven't watched more then 3 episodes of Heroman. I'll grab more in the coming days or stream it off Crunchyroll.


Now.. I GOT SOME NEWS.. Mussels you can strike me off the kill list with this baby!


I WATCHED SUMMER WARS.


Yep, I finally watched it last night and I gotta say it was really good! I was quite amazed at how good it was. :rockout:

Cowboy Bebop
Death Note
Dragonball/Z/GT

NEVER WATCH THAT MOVIE!!!! M. Night Shamlamadingdong is a failure. Since this was his quote "daughter's favorite show", he should be ashamed.

As for anime to watch add:

Gundam 00
Seirei no Moribito
Perfect Blue
Tokyo Godfathers
Claymore
Black Lagoon
Baccano!
Kimagure Orange Road

So do I, that thing as long be listed to be 12 ep long...
Nothing certain thought...
This anime was promoted at TAF 2009. A trailer was shown, however at the time the anime was incomplete and the Studio looking for investment to complete it. No further news is available regarding this title, however the official website lists it as"coming in early 2010."

Let me direct you to a list bigger than you can dig of huge titles: http://www.animeorb.info/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?7202
I need to further work on it, it is far, way far from being a complete list...
Dont miss Baccano or the rail tracer will come to get ya!!
 
Thats right, I forgot about that.

I love Djisas list cause it has pictures, personal opinions, and detailed descriptions all on 1 page. You can click on the link in my sig for my MAL. Anything with a 8 or better rating I will stand behind as a recommendation to watch.

Elfen Lied and Eureka 7
 
Higurashi naku koro ni
Need buy new pants, the ones you using will need to be disposed as you will shit them...
 
going to watch HSOTD tonight! I'm looking for Higurashi naku koro ni.
 
Even HSOST is kids play compared with only just 10s in the higurashi anime, within the very first seconds you will be like "WTF", "OMFG", elfen lied was good n all, lots of blood and meat flying everywhere but not really scary and very linear...
To understand higurashi you have to watch the second season, only then everything is explained...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnPPZfMKJ2E
Here's another good one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1hiYPLYz9c
And not to mention that awesomeness of an op...
 
Will be watching Higurashi tonight, dj is really selling it to me :D
 
Higurashi didn't impress me. Just a collection of short stories based around the same characters. Each short story is an alternative story, not related to the others except by characters used, and the basic premise. I couldn't get into it at all. It's just based on a detective type of game. It wasn't really anything ground breaking at all.

@Cold- the alternative title is When They Cry Higurashi.
 
But fear not, the anime is not entirely scary, there are as many rofl moments as there are omfg ones and all the characters are cute, until they enter psycho mode...
I told that to understand what has happened on higurashi, you need to watch the second season, only then you will fully understand, if you dont, you can only speculate...
It i called higurashi no naku koro ni kai
 
There is no fully understanding the story. There is no single story. It is multiple stories.
 
Yest it is true, but not entirely, further down the end the characters start to realize their situation...
There are multiple variations in space time, they are alternate realities and rika is actually an 100 yo hag trapped in time unable to solve the problem and move forward, she is the only character that moves back and forth in time, you see her talking alone way to often, not its ot a double personality nor she is totally crazy, you will see...

Watch kai, kai is the solution to every story in the first season, everything i explained in detail...
 
Bah. Sounds like an excuse they made up because everyone was bitching about the original. I'll pass.
