oh comon anime really sucks unless its really good..and i only seen 1 good anime

 

and which might that be?

 

hey Loo you have no idea what yer talking about.

 

=) anime owns everyone here like nothing else.. it is just sweet.. nuff said :razz:

 

Someone explain the subtleties of anime to me, because from where I stand it is pretty stagnant. They've been doing the same things for 30 years!

Generically Identical Char #1: (uses only 3 mouth shapes) Look out! Mega robot turbo!

Generically Identical Char #2: (uses only 3 mouth shapes. VO actor must suck helium before recital) EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Let's turbo power fight!

Generically Identical Char #3: (uses only 3 mouth shapes) GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!

Token overly cute pet: GNNNNNNNNAAAAAARRRR! Let us go!

All characters then proceed to attack generic oversized robot, despite defeating an almost exact foe last episode.

 

Which one would that bee, Ioo?

 

I think loo is american and he's seen too much gundam on cartoon network. You stink man
there is so much more to anime than robots that the mear shock would kill you. It's like a first level mage trying to read Elministers spellbook goodluck.
anything else than anime has no depth, it is shit all disney crap is crap. there is nothing in life better than anime. Sure Woman can be a good substitute but once anime has you it gets you good.
try watching the SERIAL EXPERIMENTS: LAIN
if you survive the depth of that than you are a god. And anime is best drawn.

 

Anime is best toilet paper.

Ever noticed in Anime:

1.) All the male heros look like petite fruitcakes? It's pretty sad when you have to spend two hours in the morning with your industrial strength hair spray before you go out and fight evil. David Bowie, circa 1970s, looked more masculine.

2.) Three frames of animation for the mouths. Closed mouth, open mouth, really wide open mouth. Randomly flip between these to simulate lip motion.

3.) When something's going really fast, or doing some super mega power turbo attack, why is it always just a still of hero/ship/robot with a flashing background and lines jumping around? If they have a larger budget, they may also include a still of the bad guy for the hero/ship/robot's still to rise above during the strobe color, streaky line effects.

4.) Most of the dialogue in Anime are grunts. Uhh? Hrmmm! Whhhhhhh? Ughhhhh! Ahhhhhh! Mmmm? In fact, I'd say pornos have less grunting and more lines of spoken speech than anime.

5.) It all looks alike. Seriously, all the anime characters have the EXACT same look, which is basically copied from 1940s/1950s era Disney movies. Disney's moved on to better looking character animation, why can't the Japanese copy it again?

 

You know what saint shut the hell up!
You know you must really be dropped by a nurse when you were still young.
You have no idea what yer talking about too.
what did you see? you saw shit!!!
did you ever see a original untranslated anime? you would know that japanese is very hard to translate to english dub or sub mostly don't translate much. Did you see Spriggan? Mononoke Hime? I don't think so.
I I see different characters in every anime, all of them are different. If you can't see that then that is yer problem. Mosty inime are about life and everyday traumas, I'm not talking about dragonball that you have to be psycho to enyoy. But after seeing one movie or episode and having a stupid negative opinion youre not making any friends with me Since I am an Otaku and saying things like you did is like spitting in my face.
did you ever hear of KITE? or Love Hina?
hmm Idol project? Battle athletes? Fushigi Yugi? Card Captor sakura Kare Kano? Evangelion? Slayers? Vampire princess miyu? Kenshin? Bubble gum crisis? Macross? Maybe a few titles you heard about in your saint life. Just don't spit anymore

 

ooooh i wont be called american by an anime fan or by anyone cuz im not...

and i seen a buncha anime, and mostly it is VERY bad animation and constantly repeating images. and usualy no plot at all, ppl just run around make stupid faces transform into weird things and then fight each other, again using about 5 images for the whole fight which lasts up to 20 minutes. so on and so on.

now the only good anime i seen was princess mononoke, unlike the rest of them it had good animation...and a story, some kinda sense to it.

 

what anime are you talking about? dragonball? or old macross? The new anime is mostly powerd up by computers Ghost in the shell, love hina Black heaven....
hey and sorry about that american stuff guess I got alittle carried away.

Come on guys ! Be tolerant ! :wink:

Americans have series and expensive movies, Japan have animes. On each side, there are good things and bad things. Don't put everything in the same pot ! :smile:
All american movies are not like Rambo 2, and all animes are not like Dragon Ball (I like Dragon Ball, but I must say that it's always the same story repeating again, and an horrible example of what animes are !)
Some of you speak about the graphical aspect of anime, but all of us here know that if the scenario is good, graphics doesn't really matter !

Don't spit on what you don't like ! Defend your opinion, but listen to other people, and open your mind ! :wink:

 

muwhhaha =P *grins evilly* look what i started =P

 

another thing, the sheer scale in which anime is created is enourmos there are litterly thousands of animes out there. If you would want to perfect each one it would be insane since most of the mare tv series.
disney are cinema productions that's why they are good graphic wise since everything is made perfect. But if you would watch Mononoke which is also a cinema production the graphics are better than any other diney production or ghost or spriggan. They are big budget productions. And also disney stopped producing any tv shit along time ago along with merrie melodis and tom& jeery.
If you compare theese things you will see that alot of these cartoons are not perfect graphic wise and moslty it is used to it's advantage. The graphic lacks and the funny anime faces are made for fun. and also the topics that are in anime are mostly understood by older aoudiences like 18 year olds. even the animes for little kids have a large amount of adult jokes in them so that everybody finds something for themselves.
Another things all japanese games are based on anime one way or another. Do2 or finalfansy has stricly anime based characters. So if you like anime you like the game more. If you don't youre like saint. a sad sad man.
oh and by the way do you know how hard it would be to draw 30 pictures a second?
devoting extra frames to something as trivial as mouth movement is a waste of time
only if you want to make things perfect in cinema producitons you do that.

You really are into anime. Which is first, anime or arcanum?

 

thats ok we all get carried away about americans jinxed

but all anime i seen i didnt like, xept princess mononoke - its a nice movie.

 

anime is always first over food, going out...
but really people should see alittle more than sailor moon and dragon ball before they get a full idea. As I said there is more anime now to watch than a whole lifetime.

 

That's just poor claiming that it's a waste of time drawing proper mouth shapes at 30 frames per second. If it is your art, why cut corners? And besides, most anime I have seen animates at about 5 fps. Animation wise, it bears more similarities with SouthPark than any modern form of cartooning, which is taking advantage of the digital age, and not living in the past.

Even when I was four I thought the repetitive plots of Astro Boy were somewhat strange. I wondered in my four year old brain why they didn't do something different. I still wonder.

Anime is, to me, like NeoGeo fighting games -- If you've played one, you've played em all"
