There are fears of the anime doing things differently from the manga though. Sekirei season 2 is catching up with the latest volume already lol

If they don't do new things, they will just make this season a 12-13 ep long one and make you anticipate for a season 3.

 

[djisas]

I dont read all those mangas, so i have no fears, whatever they throw at me ill take it!!
They can do a bunch of battles to stall time for the manga...

just so you know, i have probably watched 100 times more anime than you, maybe even 200 times, so dont underestimate me...

How the hell do you know how much anime I have watched? Don't be stupid dude, this is no pissing contest. Also I never said anything about you..

However I will say that I have been watching anime since I was about 12 years old and I am now 24, so don't underestimate me either. You can watch a lot of anime in 12 years.

Stop thinking you're "better" than others.

All right guys.. We all have different tastes.. Some know of more then others.. Just because we don't have a "list" or that we don't go threw and say all the time "i've watched...." doesn't mean we haven't seen, tried, or even liked it..

We all have opinions on what is good and what is bad. That's what taste is about. If we liked the same thing, we wouldn't be nothing more then driods..

This was started for everyone to talk about anime.. Nothing more, Nothing less.. We are all critics. Just please make sure that we all know that we all have different tastes.. We've went threw a lot with this thread. Please don't drag it down...

With that being said... Gin tama wasn't my cup of tea.. I don't know.. Just didn't feel it.. Not like some of the others..

Well I like it, but it's not something you connect with. It's absolutely ridiculous. Kind of like watching south park. Do you connect with south park? Not really, it's just something entertaining to watch, and sometimes it's hit or miss.

But like south park, its really enjoyable during the good moments. I have seen a lot of anime but didn't connect with most of it. I like bleach, I don't know why really. I enjoy seinen more than shounen, but maybe its the kid in me that likes some of the shounen series.

Well i dont think im better than anyone, at least i think i am equal to them, and well i know i know more about the anime industry than most of users here so i try to share that, thats why im here and to have some fun along the way...
It seems you are no rookie after all, well at least thats what you lead me to think...
Still i wonder if you can precise a number of anime you have watched during those 12 years, im curious now...
I know anime for a long, classic stuff from our parent's time but only after Evangelion back in 96 i started to learn about anime, at least what they had on tv and serious got into it like 12 years ago just like you...
South park is fun once in a while, but nothing i would follow everyday\week or even look up on the net...

On a side note, i never insulted you in any way before (unless i insulted your intelligence with what ive been sayin...) and you are doing it directly, so see if you refrain from doing so in the future, cause its not just you and me here...

I still read through every now and then. I rarely post in this thread though.

Dragonball introduced me to anime. That and pokemon, even though it was mainly a game and the anime was based on that game. This lead me to watching all the stuff on adult swim, and eventually I started using the internet for all of my anime needs. I remember I downloaded all of the dragonball movies and episodes in japanese because the episodes weren't dubbed in english and put on TV yet in america. This lead me to the preference of subtitled anime. I really can't stand American voice actors. When I watch dragonball/dbz now I just chuckle at how silly it is and how weird it is that I used to watch it.

I've watched just about every "big" anime series that ever aired. As of now, I'm just looking through different websites and looking for anime with decent reviews or just looks cool. I defintely cannot give you an accurate list because I can't even remember the ones that I found little interest in. There are way too many genres let alone individual anime series or movies for anyone to watch them all. I stay away from hentai and romance stuff. I also don't really like mech anime even though I've watched Evangelion and Gundam and all that, so I disregard a lot of the anime I have watched.

There really is only a handful that I really have fell in love with. But there are also a lot out there that are new or underground and I just haven't had the chance to watch yet.

I like Gintama, even though it is kind of like south park in the sense that you don't really care to go out of your way to see all of the episodes, but when you do watch it its enjoyable and you're guaranteed to laugh once and a while.

 

[djisas]

Nah, i wouldn't pick on a 200+ anime from the ground, to much hassle...
DB was the fever of the 90's, adults and kids alike, we had a pretty good dub here but when i watched the original voices i was shocked with some of them...
I never got to like pokemon, id rather watch digimon for example, i hated when they replaced an anime i liked by pokemon...
Are you watching DB kai??

I think you should take a look at my place http://www.animeorb.info/news.php http://www.animeorb.info/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?7202, it might help you out finding new anime, plus i have already compiled ALL the anime that will start from october but thats still a long time...
You should check the finished ones...

I've been watching anime since 1992, when I first saw Fist of the North Star, and I haven't the slightest clue how many I've watched. Hundreds of movies and series I'm sure.

That's still not a measure of knowledge tho. Once you get past a certain point, the number of series somebody has watched is irrelevant to their knowledge.

I never liked Dragon Ball, EVER. I also hated all card-fighting type anime, like pokemon and card captor, from the very beginning. They are all garbage to me. If your anime career started with something like FOTNS/HNK, you can't watch that kiddy stuff. It jades you. lol.

 

[scoutingwraith]

Does anyone here follow Seitokai yakuindomo? It is a pretty odd anime.....but somehow i like it.

 

[Mussels]

new boobschool of the breasts highschool of the dead was good.

and by good, i mean so much excessive boob jiggling i couldnt help but laugh.

lol....yeah i watched 3 episodes of it and havent bothered with the rest. Story seems good but the whole boob physics is a bit too much. lol

Watching episode 7 now.

Still watching it, but I just scrolled through the latest episodes, but ended up disappointed.

I liked Pokemon, but I watched it in Japanese so I got the more risqué jokes, so it was more fun for me. The English version is fairly good too, but I refuse to watch beyond the original storyline. So if Ash has new friends and new clothes, I don't care. It is really, really, really, repetitive after 3 or 4 seasons.

lol....yeah i watched 3 episodes of it and haven't bothered with the rest. Story seems good but the whole boob physics is a bit too much. lol

Booby physics? Moving up on "to watch list" right after Arakawa Under the Bridge and NHK.

I have a pretty good idea of how many anime I have seen, it is on that list I linked below. There is some stuff I don't remember well enough to add. I can't consider myself to have watched it if I don't recall more than a little bit about it. And I could add the hentai as well, but I don't consider that anime.

 

[Mussels]

NHK was brilliant

I was pretty immature back then and DB was like the first bit of anime I ever got to see. I liked the intensity and animation although looking back on the series as an adult it really seems silly. It did it's purpose in getting me interested in japanese animation, and helped me get past the initial disinterest.

The only reason I liked pokemon was because the video game was fucking awesome back then. I was like 13 and we all had gameboys at school and whatnot. That game introduced me to jRPGs a little more. Soon after I got into Zelda and Final Fantasy. It should be backwards.

Sounds really corny but that's the truth. I do not whatsoever like pokemon or dragonball anymore really, but I do still have pretty indepth memory of the series. I miss the feeling of going through the arcs though, it was like an epic journey.

I like the 10-40 episode anime. It's what I call real anime, anime that is not based on manga. Stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, GTO, etc. Short but sweet.

I didn't finish Initial D or know if it's even still going, but I enjoyed some of it too, mainly due to me being a nut for racing and automechanics.

 

[djisas]

Do u like horror??
Just reminded of Higurashi, the most gory anime ever made, ive been bugging the guys here to watch it, but they seem scared...

 

[bigboi86]

Well I liked Hellsing and I like bloody stuff like Elven Lied, but I don't really actively seek series from the horror genre, but I'm definitely willing to give any anime a good shot.

I kind of like the gore, but sometimes some anime are just so wicked it almost makes you feel bad that you're watching it. So it depends on content I suppose.

I'll check it out. I've seen the sickest shit the internet has to offer, I'm sure I'll be fine.

EDIT: Hmm I guess GTO was first serialized in manga.

 

[djisas]

I think you could take a look at it, higurashi is better than elfen lied, not that much bloody but more suspense and true horror scenes, you can check on youtube for trailers and amv...
There's also Shiki, Shiki has just barelly started with only 6 episodes, but everything about it is great, the animation, the music, the atmosphere, i think the character design is very good, but thats a personal opinion of mine, i know that many dont really like the characters on the anime, but its kinda like higurashi, moe characters on an horror anime that can turn into perfect psycho's the next frame, although in shiki there's no moe at all...

 

[scoutingwraith]

@djisas

do you mean the anime Higurashi no Naku Koro ni ??? If so....yeah i have it on my HD. Pretty disturbing anime.

 

[djisas]

That one...
Probably the most disturbing anime...
Hope shiki turns better that Higurashi, i have high hopes...
Also ghost hunt was a pretty good one...

 

[Cold Storm]

Dj, I think you need to make "orb" a little bigger in your sig! Make sure you can get more of us over there!

I'll have to look into higurashi. I do like the horror stuff.. But, I tend to laugh at a lot when I watch it... Just who I am..


BB86.. Yeah, I never liked South Park.. I do like Family Guy, but I never liked how South Park is... Yeah, there is some funny stuff, but not worth my time to sit down with it.. A lot of "American Anime" I don't tend to care for.. Hell, most of "sitcom" style tv isn't even watched.. I've seen Anime, and went with it.. As for DB... Everyone should know I can't stand it.. Loved it, but now it's being so shoveled down our throats that I don't like it anymore..

 

[djisas]

Well id love to see you laughing while watching Rika stabling her own head or Mio ripping her own nails, well i suppose you would laugh hearing those psychotic laughs...
Have you watched ghost hunt??
Its the best about ghosts, poltergeists and the likes...

I most likely would laugh at something like that... i don't know. I'm a little twisted.. "hollywood horror" makes me laugh when I watch it.. Example

Spoiler

Camp Fear ( I believe it's the right title), when the girl is shaving and then all of a sudden you see that she's shaving her own skin off.. I laughed..

Even the SAW/Hostal movies made me laugh more then anything..

I got Ghost Hunt on the HDD since you said it before.. But, work makes me work to much so Anime has went to the side line I still need to watch booblish HOTD's new episode..

 

[bigboi86]

Saying it is the most disturbing anime is a pretty bold statement.

I'll check it out but it sounds pretty crazy already.

I read the synopsis it sounds like a really gory death note.

 

[djisas]

Nah death note wasnt gory at all...
Ill show you what i showed everyone, you might like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8OyGX39YRo

EDIT:

I have watched The 4 ep prequel OVA of Darker than Black today after having been subbed for a while...
The OVA is what you would expect of this anime, the very same quality that defined DTB...
These 4 episodes do explain all that happened between both stories, what and why happened to Yin and what became of BK-201, it was very interesting to see Yin develop all that much...

I might have to rewatch the entire anime now, i got addicted to it again...
