The Anime & Manga Megathread

Postby WhatchaTalkinBout » Sun Oct 11, 2009 2:43 am

My Formal OP a.k.a About This Thread:
This thread is where you can meet other anime & manga fans and talk about all things anime & manga. Extra points for talking about pizza. As for hentai...well...

You can discuss hentai, but keep your perverted grossness discussion to a minimum.

My Casual OP:
Are there any anime fans on NS? I am an American Otaku, which means I LOVE anime. And pizza.

If there's anything I've learned from anime, Its that:

Anime is freakin' sweet!

AND THAT

This picture is TRUE.

My favorite pizza is pepperoni and sausage, as I do not really have a favorite anime. I love them all!

Me and my friends were going to do an abridged series of Elfin Lied. This was before some tedious googling that told us one already existed, though.

It's great, though it ends way before the manga does.

Best opening to anything I've ever seen, though, lol.

I hate anime, but everyone tells me its because Ive never seen 'real' or 'good' anime.

Which might be true. But even a decent concept or story wont make me like the actual drawing and animation any more.

I like certain animes, and I love reading manga, but I dislike some people's "love" for anime just for anime's sake. I like a decent plot and characters in my anime, thankyouverymuch.

Studio Ghibli produces some of the best anime movies ever.

Some is good, some is ok, some sucks. Anime, that is. All pizza is awesome, until some asshole adds shrimp. Then it sucks.

Good anime: Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Claymore. Haven't watched too many others yet.

Good pizza: chicken garlic, hawaiian, good ol' pepperoni.

Kind of an anime fan here. Here's my favourites: Neon Genesis Evangelion, Elfen Lied, Serial Experiments Lain, Akira, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Mononoke Hime and Spirited Away. I like Cowboy Bebop too, but I really don't think it's TEH BEST ANIME EVAR and honestly think that it's a bit overrated. Soundtrack is pure awesome though.

i love some of the more obscure anime, most of which i can never remember then names of.
i am NOT a fan of pizza. i'll eat it if i'm hungy enough. but it's not EVEN among my favorite food like substances.

now if it were anime and eki bento, that would make more sense. or anime and manga and japanese pre-shikansen gauge trains, and temple gardens, and udon, and models of japanese trains and trippy little road and streetside shrines, and little stone multi-tailed (spirit) foxes (kitsuni) and real live little creatures and monorails as real life everyday transit systems in a number of places, and the list goes on, of things i'm "otaku" of.

pizza just happens to not be one of them. licorice flavored poki stiks maybe? or guava falvoured chewing gum, or green tea moshi ice cream.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

Tenchi Muyo (pretty much all series/stuff save Shin Tenchi,) and Oh My Goddess! remain my cardinal favorites, though the following are also on my preferred list: Martian Successor Nadeisco, El Hazard, Last Exile, Full Metal Panic, Sister Princess, Dual Parallel Adventure, Steel Angel Kurumi, Chobits, Outlaw Star, Angel Tales, and most of Miyazaki's works. Probably missing stuff here though. =^^=

Maybe. However the story erupts into a crappy harem anime with occasional spouts of blood and gore!
