I'm still new to the world of anime, so my favorite right now is Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon, although Shoujo Kakumei Utena and Azumanga Daioh look interesting too.

You all are freaking me out............I'll just slowly back out of this thread and go somewhere else.

I can't stand those weird drawings by the way.

I happen to be able to draw a little bit of anime and its SO much fun! I used to like Sailor Moon too but then I kinda thought that Sailor Moon had a little too much power. So I dropped Sailoer Moon and went to Cardcaptor Sakura and Magic Knight Rayearth. I've heard a lot about Inuyasha but I've never tried it out......tell me if its any good Icefangs. And I've never heard of Wolf Rain...what's it about?
And to Stonehelm....phbbbttt!!!!! Just kidding!

WOW!!! The Wolf's Rain sounds awesome Icefangs! I really do need to check out Inuyasha sometime......I have another friend who loves it and I'm really not sure what it's about. If you used to like Cardcaptor Sakura you should SO check out Magic Knight Rayearth! It's the COOLEST (especially if you like CLAMP). Anyway I can draw a little bit of anime. I used to draw a lot of pictures of the characters from Tenchi Muyo but I don't so much anymore. And I'm definately not pro or anything.......but i do try

Dad works on a platform in the North Sea and taped a few (of what I now know is) anime movies for me when I was younger. All there is of anime I've seen lately is pokemon and beyblade (ugly, stupid and why on earth do they have fangs?? ) and digimon. Only made to make kids spend all their money on stupid expencive things.

I did practice to draw amine-like before, but that was for the love of the legend of Zelda series for Nintendo 64. I have the movie Ghost in the shell (or is it 'a shell'?) on the server somewhere, I like that sort of anime 'cause it looks real. There are Dragonball manga books in the stores. Hate that kind.

Same here Began to make a picture of the ladies in the Quest and they are faceless and looking very toilet-avatar like. I was better at drawing both real and anime-like before..

Stoney, Nil, this isn't the tread for us, we're to old for this. Though I would probably have LOVED it when I was younger. *follows Nil to exit*

I liked Akira too, that film was really one of the big ones that helped pave the way for all of the anime that is out there today (which I admittedly know nothing about).

I used to watch a show called "Battle of the Planets" when I was a youngster here in the United States, and that show was a translation of a series that ran in Japan in the early 1970's called Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, which ran for a grand total of 205 episodes., and is really the "grandmother" of all anime today.

The original series was revolutionary in its day, starting a whole new genre for ’team’ shows, and dealing with concepts and issues no other animated show had ever tackled at the time. Battle of the Planets was created using 85 episodes of the first Gatchaman series, which ran for 105 episodes. Animations of 7-Zark-7, the Ready-Room, and several space and planet shots were added to BotP by an American animation studio.

Anyway, I still love the BotP series I grew up with, but now that I’m much older, and know the truth about the show’s origins, I much prefer the original Science Ninja Team Gatchaman episodes because they are much more adult oriented in story and content. Gatchaman is really the only ’anime’ I watch.

I have an enormous respect for all of those incredibly talented artists out there who labor endlessly on all of those shows, but other then my sense of childhood nostalgia for Gatchaman, I’ve just never had a real interest in anime, and I definitely don’t have the spare time or cash to get into it. I’ve got my hat in way too many rings as it is right now anyway!

Sorry im with Amarie,Stoney and Nil on this one. Just cant handle anime. See yaa.
’walks to the exit’

I'd like to help you out Nitaprob8, but I don't know where you came in.

I have watched some on the techTV/G4 cable channel and a few of the series via sputnik7.com. Some of them are good and some are very bad, just like all forms of media. One can see how the genre has evolved towards the better with the passage of time.

I love Manga and Anime, it doesn't matter whether it's drawing or reading it. Some of my personal favorites are Mars, Peachboy, Cowboy Bebop, The Chronicles of the Cursed Sword, Demon Diaries, Ceres, Alice 19th, Inu-yasha, Ranma 1/2 and most of all....Fushigi Yugi. I've read and seen lots so it's gettin' kinda hard to keep all of them straight but if any1 has read any good ones lately, let me know. I would also like to some other people's drawing, if u feel comfortable letting me look at them. Just send them to arwen_elessendil@yahoo.com !!! Hope I haven't violated any rules by publicly posting my e-mail. Oh, well.

has any1 seen Mizayaki-Spirited Away, Yu Yu Hakashu or Princess Monanoke? They're some of my favs. I remembered some other mangas I've read. Here they are: Kare Kano, Raganok, Rebirth, Vampire Game, and FruitsBasket. 4 any1 who hasn't read Fruits Basket, cuz if u haven't u are really missing out.

My family has just watched Spirited Away twice already this weekend (rented a video). My young teen boys really like Naruto, but since we don't have cable or satellite television we rarely get the chance to see many examples of anime. We have noticed some Saturday morning cartoons are now anime, such as Teen Titans, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Shaolin Showdown.

Hey Acheron,
I'll have to check those out, I'm a big fan of Yu Watase. Btw, has any1 here read Wish or Chobits? I think they're meant for girls, but all of my guy friends have absolutely loved them as well. Those of you who have anime shows on during the day, u are sooo lucky. Where I live, it is only on from like 1-4 in the morning, which makes it like impossible to watch.

Hey,
thanks 4 the advice Acheron. Actually, I've seen quite a few DVD's, including Pretear, Fruits Basket, and Fushigi Yugi. on, I remembered some of the other mangas I've read. Angelic Layer, Love Hina, Ragnarok, & Witch Hunter Robin. I think that Angelic Layer is by Clamp but I'm not sure.

Raganok is awesome. It's kind of a mix between action and fantasy. U should read it. I just saw the first couple of episodes and I can't really remember any1's name in it, but my fav. character is the dark-haired guy who was in love w/ the previous Pretear. what's his name...i can't remember. oh, well. definitely read Raganok though. I loved it. if u like it, read Rebirth and Vampire games. They're both really good too.

OOOOH! I wants to see them! I'm drawing a sort of comic strip with varying peices of anime that blend into one storyline. Most of the art is similar to the woman who does the Ceres and Alice 19th anime series. I LOVE her art! In my opinion it is some of the best that there is out there. I could send the beginning of it to some ppl if they want to see it too. My computer is crappy though so I may not be able to get it to anyone any time soon. But I want to see your stuff Arwen! Do you like drawing chibi-style? I've never been that good at it.

I'll send you the drawings Acheron. Just PM ur e-mail...I should have them finished by Nov. 2nd. I love drawing chibis, tho I'm not as good at Chibis as just regular manga. Anyway, anyone else who wants to see them, just send me ur e-mail. oh and I'd love to see ur work Acheron, and anyone else's, just send it to arwen_elessendil@yahoo.com

I luv all of the ones of those I've seen. I like the music too, tho the lyrics sound funny in when translated into English.

i like anime. I LOVE YUGIOH!!!! Which is an anime. I started a thread about it, but no one liked it. I have never heard of most of those weird animes you lot have listed. I just know Cardcaptors, Yu-gi-oh, Duelmasters, Megaman, and Pokemon, if that's an anime. And my friend can actually draw manga. And she's a member here, althuogh she doesn't log in very often. Her username is Snowgum.

I agree Acheron. Oh and the pix are taking a lil longer than i thought..i'm trying out some new techniques and styles so it's taking more time.

I like both manga and anime.My favorite in anime is naruto and in manga I guess it is one piece.

Finally something interesting! what's it called?
