Anime is cool, or lame?

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

Castlevania, I still need to watch it. I like the games, by the way.

Never did cosplay too, not into it. But I apreciate it in an objective way when it's well done.

This one is huge in Latin America.

My mother once gave me a nearly complete set of the Bronze Saints (Shun's toy wasn't available for some reason, haha).

It was also very popular here in France, but Dragon Ball was the most popular

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

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.

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.

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.

Interesting, tbh I'm too young to have known the Super Nintendo (I had a Playstation 1 as a first console), but all the kids who were born in the 90s know for sure Dragon Ball, it was the most popular cartoon (with Pokémon maybe)
