Also, it has taken almost 200 Bleach Chapters to get Ichigo into sword’s length distance from Aizen…woo…and now for something completely illogical to happen.

I’ve been following the manga; the anime however, not as much. It’s part of my shounen fix, although I have to admit that the story is not that extraordinary for me. Still, it’s fun to read and it gives me a sense of nostalgia whenever I see Plue and remember the days I was watching Rave.

Yeah the story is pretty generic (and I find Natsu himself to be pretty annoying). Still, I like Erza as far as her ability to equip entire sets of armor and weapons instantaneously goes. She’s awesome. 😛 Something tells me that RPGs have something to do with how the author got that idea (along with a few other concepts). You know how there are always armor sets geared towards a certain effect and that somehow characters who change into them do so instantaneously? 5 bucks says that’s Erza’s power in a nutshell. XD

As far as her personality goes though… gulp Definitely not my girlfriend material. >_>;;
 
I can’t really think of anything constructive to say. I’m still mad that
just so
could
. So I’m just going to post this, just to illustrate how hard it is to find a safe image of Yuki.

Hi there

Can an old fart interrupt here?

I don’t care to much for the Japanese Animation of today and the whole anime/ manga/ cosplay culture mystifies me. That said, back in my day (OH NO :eek: they scream – not a back when I was kid we had to walk up hill 15 miles both ways in snow to school in July story) … excuse me … back in my day … the Japanese animation that I was exposed to consisted solely of Kimba the White Lion. Just he other day, I was extolling the virtues of Kimba to my wife. So here we are , each roughly at 50 years of age, sitting on the bed pulling up videos of Kimba from Youtube on our Tivo. And I’m sitting there crying.

See – Kimba was someone that I as a Catholic school kid in the 1960s could relate to. He was good and pure of heart. He stood for what was right. He practised all those virtues that the sister taught me in school. He was everything that I wanted to be.

I couldn’t, and still can’t, relate to Superman or Spiderman or Batman or any other cartoon hero … but Kimba rocks my world!

God bless

Tony

I’m not screaming. There’s nothing wrong with the classics. 👍

Have no fear! 👍 Just as there are many categories of anime, there will also be fans of such categories. You have mecha-junkies (Gundam collectors), kodomo (Pokemon fanatics and Yu-Gi-Oh! players), fan girls (Fruits Basket anyone? :rolleyes:), shounen fanatics (such as myself :P), psychological nuts (those who watch Death Note for the mysteries and not the bishies :rolleyes:), fanservice otakus (like the imp who torments me >_<;; ).

Your category is obviously the classics. Might I also suggest something from Miyazaki since he’s always the best choice for those who like their anime old-school. 😃

Agreed.

Mach Go Go Go! lol Beats the American dub which got slammed so much, but for good reason.

Of course—but I still like the dub theme, and I have the boxed set—which comes packed in some tire-tread looking thing. 🙂

Yeah, the dub theme is pretty good. :cool:

A complimentary free used tire tread?!

Looks almost like a Bleach/Naruto type style. Interesting concepts for characters. I’m sure you’d have fun drawing a story out of that. It’d give you good practice, too. Keep at it.

There are parts of the whole “culture” that I don’t really care for either, but then again I am only a very casual anime fan and don’t consider myself at all to be anything close to a full-blown otaku.

Also, I think we can all agree that cosplay is completely ridiculous. 👍
