Should I do some random Anime-related news on the weekends to supplement entertainment news?

anime is not entertainment. Its a waste of my time...
On another note, you should incluse sports entertainment (professional wrestling) as part of your update

hell ya! Anime rules...

just some bits about the latest releases on DVD and what good and stuff like that....

hmm.. or maybe it should just cover animation in general. For example news on up and coming movies, eg (Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within) and the re-release of Akira in the theaters (well, only a couple a theaters.) But at least it'll keep people informed about where to get their latest animation/anime fix...

I think perhaps the demographics on Anime fans here at G|A might not be a huge percentage. But animation will be a whole different story, so perhaps anime would just be categorized under it.

Ooo.. and also sites where great deals can be found on anime or other animation videos/DVDs/comics.

just another thought popped into my head, how about some coverage on up and coming life-action movies based on comics and such.... that'll be cool.

You don't mean that WWF crap, do you? To call that Professional Wresting is such an oxymoron. ;)

I wouldn't be too interested in what's going on in Anime... I only like the music video "One more time" by Daft Punk

I'm not much into Anime but if there is a good amount of regulars who would like to see it, then so be it. I say we give ChinpokoMon his own Babewatch page, what do you think?

Hell yes.

Please don't be ignorant about the subject because some people, like me, think anime is A LOT better than professional wrestling; everyone's got different taste in entertainment.

hey Y2J if they don't get it then it means they don't watch wrestling... also WWF SUCKS
i can't believe people watch that crap
i find it so incredibly boring
but at some moments it can be amusing... like when you consider all the white trash watching it and thinking it's cool :)

If /. can get away with it, I think I will let it slide on this site as well.

I know we all have different tastes...but please please please, no trash talking and personal attacks. Everyone likes something very different. Respect each other, please.

Can't we all just get along?

hahhahahahahha Good response Y2J
I am very amused
Actually I must admit that at some brief moment in my life I was regularly engaged in the viewing of WWF, and I enjoyed it. It's just now with all the extreme publicity it has been receiving, and the failure of XFL WWF just seems too common to be fun or special. It was more fun when it was just like you and a few friends were into, but now that it's like the whole world is watching wrestling it has lost some of it's fun.

there is some really bad stuff out there that tries to cash in on the following that anime has, but the majority of series are just dang good. traditional animators can do what CG artists and special effects artists do, but in a fraction of the time, and with a much smaller budget. Some anime is just beautifully done, like cowboy bebop. when a piece of entertainment consistently combines a great ambience, good story, great character development, and stunning animation, among other things, it earns the title "anime". when it gives you chills to watch, and it's 4:00 in the morning and you have class at 11 the next day, and you have only seven more episodes left in the series, and you decide to finish it that night, THAT's anime.

also, i'm a big nerd.

Escaflowne from fansub, 13 hours straight w/ a 10 minute pizza order/bathroom break in the center. Man, I wish I could do stuff like that again.

But, yes, there is definitely a difference in the level of quality in anime.

my friends and i did cowboy bebop all in one night, such a good experience. and i did almost all of love hina in one night, too, i think all but the first four eps...

next series for me is kenshin (95 eps plus OAVs)

Rocket2Fun

kenshin is awesome
i suggest you start watching it earlier on during the day
i spent alot of sleepless nights watching it...
but i guess if you start on ealier then you'll just get more episodes in before 6am... well the point is i am sure you'll enjoy it

Spent too much time watching Kenshin. The TV sorta sucked (except for episodes 28-62). read the manga :-)

I love Kenshin, wished i had a better, clearer copy of the TV series though. ^_^x

There was 95 tv episodes and 4 OVA (making a movie) right? any other kenshin stuff? because I remember seeing a wall scroll with kenshin and another guy that i can not remember from the series

does Voltron count as anime? that show rocked

Rocket2Fun
05-29-2001, 02:13 PM
Voltron was pretty pimp
But true anime is of the likes of Kenshin, Perfect Blue, and Weiß Kreuz
I only mention those because as of right now that's all I have on my computer... KENSHIN is DOPE

yeah, i've seen parts of kenshin, and it seemed pretty good. nothing compared with the likes of Cowboy Bebop and NGE, though.

here's what i've seen, and remember:
akira
ghost in the shell
ninja scroll
mononoke
blue sub six (not cartoon network version)
NGE
escaflowne
ranma 1/2(through season 5)
love hina
cowboy bebop
outlaw star

probably more that's not worth mentioning...

any suggestions for after kenshin?
