Most of it is lame and cheesy. Some of it is well done.

What are some of the animations or cartoons which you find better?

Anime is OK, but I tend to prefer Marvel/DC-comics/EC-comics stuff more TBH

[Mortimer]

Most of it is lame and idiotic. Very few is good. I like Dragon Ball Z and Mila Superstar and Kickers. Kickers and Mila Superstar was Japanese too.

But overall I preferred much more Disney as kid.

How bout Marvel/DC-comics/EC-comics stuff...do you find those better than Anime?

[Mortimer]

How bout Marvel/DC-comics/EC-comics stuff...do you find those better than Anime?

yes indeed. i loved all comic books films and cartoons like batman, spiderman, superman, captain america, captain earth etc.

[Dragoon]

I can understand teenagers watching it (fighting or "anime babes") or rarely a young adult (depending on theme and how much time they have).
Some might be okay, some might be lame.

[Smeagol]

Most of it sucks but Dragon Ball Z will always be a classic.

[Vigilance]

Anime is really good for modern human development, just look at the faces of the characters in d grayman, they all look like highly progresive Sinids.

[Mens-Sarda]

I like Japanese classic cartoons of the 70s and 80s; I don't like at all the modern Manga style.

[Joso]

Its is very good, i like Yuyu Hakusho, very cool, its shows much of the Japanese culture and mythology and it is a old anime, i like old animes

[Larali]

It's cool if you like it. My husband used to watch it. Wasn't my thing.

Now my kids are all about it.

Side note: I have three autographed photos of Richard Ian Cox (Inuyasha voice) because I was a fan of him in a TV show as a teen.

[LoLeL]

It's cool but I really dislike weeaboos, hentai and waifu cults.

[Marinus]

I voted 5.

I'm not an anime/manga fan in general, but there are some series that I enjoy, namely Ghost In The Shell & Neon Genesis Evangelion and the full feature film Akira.

Other than those, I don't know much about anime, I don't like those creepy schoolgirl fetish ones though.

[Morena]

It's ok. Some of it is good, most of it is terrible. Lately, it's been terrible.

[Meerkat]

I now associate anime with pedos and so I can't bring myself to enjoy it.

Not trying to imply that everyone who watches anime is a pedo.

[Papastratosels26]

Manga One Piece.

[Morena]

Manga One Piece.

That's the only one I still follow with some regularity. I thought Gintama was going to end, but no....

[TheMaestro]

Is naruto anime? If yes, I liked Anime then, I think it can be intresting thing to watch but I never got into it, I rather watch films or serie.

[Catarinense1998]

I loved Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon and Yugioh.
Yugi was a luck guy.
Yancha and Kuririn are useless guys.
Ash is a loser and Brock is a Bobby Martnen.

Some are pretty cool. May favourite one is Death Note, which is more suspense oriented.

I never liked the Shounen ones that aired on TV: Pokemon, Naruto, Digimon, Dragon Ball, etc.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

99% of anime is for fags.

It's weird that the people that gave us PRIDE also give us weird and queer anime as well. But then again there were some elements of PRIDE that was.. um... odd... Japanese are kinda weird...

[Jägerstaffel]

I liked Akira when I was a kid.

But anime, in general, is super lame and makes vaginas dry.

[StonyArabia]

Anime was the main stable for shows in the Mideast and North Africa for children, ironically they never would edit it. It was quite violent. There are good animes out there, but not all. I do love Pokemon for example. Yu-gi-oh is ok, but the Japanese version is much darker and more teen-adult centered unlike the English version. Dragon ball Z and Dragon ball GT were pretty cool. I also like Jungle Shonen Mowgli, Nadia the secret of blue water, Tiger Mask, and some others.

[Joso]

Neothenics are superior than progressives.

[Gangrel]

Only Dragonball is acceptable

[GreentheViper]

Anime with great characters, plot and animation is great, but I think that a lot of them don't have that criteria. Attack on Titan, Death Note, and One Punch Man are some examples of great animes that could even translate into a real life TV ahow or movie.

[RenaRyuguu]

Depends what it's about I like Digimon Frontier because it had Beowulf

[RenaRyuguu]

Depends which I saw all Digimon seasons it's about evolution

[Decius]

Lame nerd shit for chinks

[Phenix]

Halfway, it can be a good entertainment at adolescence, some are truly masterpieces, but most production is lame.

[Zrinski]

Well, most of the produced anime is lame, stupid, perverted, degenerate and so on, although do exist some great classics but they are extreme minority.

[Kyp]

Most is lame af, some are cool

[Harley]

Anime and manga are life <3

[itilvolga]

Only a few of them are worthy to watch, in my opinion.

[Ayetooey]

I used to watch a lot of it. My favourites were one piece, seven deadly sins, sword art online, shit like that. Haven't watched anime in a good couple of years. But I occasionally watch anime films like the ones done by studio gibli.

[Sora]

Cool but childish...

[PaleoEuropean]

I watched the good stuff on Nippon Golden Network and a few other channels.

Fist of the North Star and Gundam are the two definitive masterpiece series imo

[Erronkari]

I am to old to be a fan of animes.
Even I recognize that around 22 years ago I liked DBZ, Pokemon and Oliver...

[nittionia]

Idk anything about it

Hehe you are right about that! :thumb001:

[Roy]

Cool for me, but I am not obsessed about it unlike some weeboos or animezjeby (in Polish :D ). Ok, there are some normal people who are extremely passionate about it too. I've never liked those that were popular when I was a kid in my country like Pokemon, Naruto (eww).


Only a few of them are worthy to watch, in my opinion.

Which one? Or only some category of it, let's say … hentai? :rolleyes:

[itilvolga]

adult swim was the only good channel

Code Geass was good on there

https://myanimelist.net/anime/1575/Code_Geass__Hangyaku_no_Lelouch

[RenaRyuguu]

I recommend this anime to whoever is bored.

Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl)

https://myanimelist.net/anime/228/Jigoku_Shoujo

Have you heard of Hell Correspondence? Those with a powerful grudge may only access this mysterious website at midnight, allowing them to enter anyone's name and have that person be ferried straight to hell. Ai Enma, the Hell Girl, will not judge whether or not the chosen target deserves punishment; she will merely exact revenge on them for you. Not much is known about this young girl other than that she swiftly carries out her tasks with the help of three straw dolls. There is just one catch, however—as payment for carrying out such a request, the user must condemn themselves to an afterlife in hell.

[Kyp]

Everybody watch the 97 version of Berserk

Thank me later...

[RenaRyuguu]

I recommend Fairy Tail

In the mystical land of Fiore, magic exists as an essential part of everyday life. Countless magic guilds lie at the core of all magical activity, and serve as venues for like-minded mages to band together and take on job requests. Among them, Fairy Tail stands out from the rest as a place of strength, spirit, and family.

Lucy Heartfilia is a young mage searching for celestial gate keys, and her dream is to become a full-fledged wizard by joining this famous guild. In her search, she runs into Natsu Dragneel and his partner Happy, who are on a quest to find Natsu's foster father, the dragon Igneel.

Upon being tricked by a man, Lucy falls under an abduction attempt, only to be saved by Natsu. To her shock, he reveals that he is a member of Fairy Tail and invites her to join them. There, Lucy meets the guild's strange members, such as the ice wizard Gray Fullbuster and magic swordswoman Erza Scarlet. Together as a family, they battle the forces of evil, help those in need, and gain new friends, all the while enjoying the never-ending adventure that is Fairy Tail.

[Ford]

It's for the most part pretty cringy but there are good classics like Ghost in the Shell, Akira and the older Ghibli stuff.

[RenaRyuguu]

I wonder when anime became mainstream and if it actually has meaning to anyone. For example Ghost in the Shell is about brainwashing to forget ones real past.

[TheOldNorth]

Most are idiotic, but there are a few diamonds in the rough

[Black Panther]

7. It would be a 5 if Death Note didn't exist.

[Rgvgjhvv]

I don't think it's lame if people like it. I just have never gotten into it before and doubt I ever will now. Not my thing.

[PaleoEuropean]

Sailor Moon was the first mainstream anime show in the U.S but Dragon Ball Z's second U.S release in like 2000-2001 was when it really became mainstream alongside Toonami. I am the only person who probably watched it on Nippon Golden Network back in the early 90s

It still isn't mainstream. They only watch it in Russia cuz they are from the moon.

[PaleoEuropean]

I mean there are some aspects that are mainstream like the art style, Teen Titans and other shows have copied the aesthetics. I would say DBZ is mainstream and Pokemon is def mainstream

You watched a Miyazaki film.

[Batavia]

I think Mangas have nothing to do with the real japanese culture, some are ok I guess...

[Ygsi]

I am a weeb, so you already know how I feel about anime.

[KirillMazur]

I've seen only one anime in my entire life - about the bombing of Hiroshima. It was in a very distant childhood, I remember that this film was old even then.
I liked it, it was shot quite realistically.

[Parça do Neymar]

It's like any other form of entertainment media, some products are good, some are bad. I very rarely watch anime, but I did enjoy Dragon Ball Z and Yu Yu Hakusho as a kid in the late 90s / early 2000s. I like Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy too.

I personally could never really get into it.

I do remember watching some Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho growing up as a kid. I did like Yugioh and Pokemon if that counts lol

Give it a try do Death Note, which is my favourite.

7-8 I think most anime is very cool :) although I have come across a few anime shows I didn't like. I used to be super obsessed with anime, but I don't think I'll get hooked on it again.

[RogueState]

Japanese cartoons are for geeks... the only good ones are Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya

[Kivan]

When i was a child i used to watch every morning, especially Dragon Ball.
Nowadays i rarely watch them.

The last one i watched was Hokuto no Ken but it was long time ago.

[Axios]

I watched a lot when i was a kid, usually before going to school, each morning (One Piece, Atori, Inuyasha, Detective Conan etc) but i dont anymore, i don't know why tho.

[HelloGuys]

I have watched anime since when I was 1-2 years old (My mom used to put me Dragon Ball in TV) so I feel a special connection with that anime lol when I was a child I watched Digimon (One of my fav in that time) Yugioh (Other one of my fav) sometimes Pokemon, Saint Seya...but it wasn't until I was a teenager when I started to like a lot; I have watched like two hundreds animes jaja but in recent times I prefer doing other things, right now it's very rare that I watch them

[Celestia]

I'll try it. My boyfriend is into it. We watched Castlevania together and I liked it. I could never get into cosplaying though.

Oh, that brings back memories lol =) I did cosplay a few times and the experience was quite amusing....but I probably won't do it again xD

[Harkonnen]

Akira is definitely good movie, and the massive comic version manga whatever is even better. First part of Memories, Magnetic Rose, starts strong, and I really like the mood with the haunting score


https://youtu.be/yo-GVtMVlVM

unfortunately story itself soon falls flat and is pretty dumb. 2nd part was lowbrow huuumor, and pretty ok. 3rd part was weird in that it wasn't really *anime* in style at all, looked more like it was cooked up by a coked up commie aartist from seedy parts of Böhme et Munster, late 70ies.

[Celestia]

Oh, that brings back memories lol =) I did cosplay a few times and the experience was quite amusing....but I probably won't do it again xD

I think the conventions are cool and people are really creative with their costumes! I would just feel out of place because I'm not that into anime haha
I'm sure they're a lot of fun though!

Indeed, I think France was the only country in the western hemisphere to get the Super NES / Mega Drive Dragon Ball games.

[InfamousAngel99]

Do you think cartoons are lame overall? Because anime is just one style of cartoon. So whether or not an anime series is “lame” depends on the storyline for me.
I grew up with comics and animated superhero shows, so I got into anime when I was a kid too. Inuyasha and Naruto are two anime series that I adored as a kid. Even some mature anime series, like Hellsing, are cool. I don’t watch anime that much anymore, but I’m not opposed to watching a series if it intrigues me.

I was a baby when the SNES was released I guess, but here everything is expensive as fuck, so most brazilians were still playing on their Super NES or Mega Drive in the late 90s.

This (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/box/4/3/7/48437_front.jpg) was lreeased in 1994 in Japan, but in 1999 in Brazil (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/box/4/3/8/48438_front.jpg).

[TheMaestro]

Don't watch but I used to as a kid I rate it 10. It's intresting, I used to watch naruto, also death note has very incredible plot or shaman king etc. I would also rewatch naruto if it was in Czech Language, or I would watch even different ones if they were in my native language.

[Ruggery]

grew up with Naruto,one punch man is fun, death note has a nice storyline. Recently just started watching Baki,kengan ashura and its pretty nice

[Linebacker]

I think the the older people who are into that are weird. And they are in fact weird its not just my opinion.

Something just off about a 30 year old man with pictures of young cartoon girls all over his media.

[Komintasavalta]

Who wants to hear the opinion of normie white old people about anime? The 2d world is something special and pure, and it should be kept far away from Caucasoids and from normal people.

[Rafael Passoni]

Samurai Deeper kyo is one of my favorite ones.

Who be the biggest weeb around here?

[Zhulta]

i often find the story/setting of animes weird, it seems way too tailored for japanese culture and problems of their overly work/school pressure oriented and socially/sexually inhibited and generally very unhealthy culture for the psyche, as if they are trying to cope these supressed feelings with animes, dunno how to explain, i just get that kinda vibe when watching animes. So most animes, especially ones involving school or academies or whatever, just seem unsettling to me, overly dramatic, weird etc. I prefer animes from studio ghibli which are more of childhood nostalgia though and probably not those typical animes that are mainstream nowadays, those i dont like so much. A few examples i liked would be Violet Evergarden and Your Name though.

[Parça do Neymar]

Sora gives off massive weeaboo / koreaboo vibes.

Latinus seems to really enjoy this stuff as well, not because of his posts here, but I'm pretty sure I remember him from an old brazilian forum.
