Anime

Post by BurtReynolds »

I've been rewatching Cowboy Bebop. Such a cool tv show.

any fans? Thinking about getting more into it. Most of it is crap, but I really like a lot of the classics:

Akira
Cowboy Bebop
Ghost in the Shell
Ninja Scroll
Redline (not a classic, but I love it)

and most of all: FLCL
Spoiler: show

I used to be into Dragon Ball and Ranma 1/2 as a kid.

Ranma 1/2 was actually a really kinky and fucked up anime, now that I think of it

I went through a Pokemon and Dragon Ball phase, but most anime pisses me off now.

I was into it in the 90's. We called it Japanimation back then which maybe was offensive? I started to lose interest when I realized that as good as the art was the stories were almost always horrible.

I've been watching the new Dragon Ball Z Super episodes. I haven't seen all of them, but it's cool to have new DBZ episodes again.

Cowboy Bebop is definitely the best anime show I've ever seen though.

I never understood the appeal, even as a kid. I find the animation style extremely off-putting. I like some Miyazaki and that’s it.

I'm a Cowboy Bebop fan but not necessarily an anime fan. Something about that show just transcends format.

That's basically me, plus a few others. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised.

I like that type of anime art style, but stuff like Pokemon and Dragon ball never appealed to me.

This is intriguing if you've got the time.

My cousin was really into them, so when I was a kid we watched a lot of the ultra violent ones like Fist Of The Northstar. Crazy movies.

It kind of put me off of them for awhile. But now I want to watch them again.
