Yes, that part. I’m pretty sure everyone here wouldn’t have a problem with it, but idk about someone else who just happens to stroll by.

Yeah a Catholic… with a brain?
Look if you can’t give a decent logical response, can you stop derailing this thread with your moral nitpicks?

Well that part is ok… unfortunately, many fanboys of the show who upload that part don’t cut out the portion round the end where Haruhi you know… makes poor Mikuru-chan squeal. >_>;;

Alright, I haven’t had time to watch any Bamboo Blade, but on the bright side I finally have a reason to hate and love Aizen this week.
In other news, Adult Swim has acquired the new FMA series, which everyone here probably knows about already, but I’ll say it anyways.
Oh, and my Prof. for whom I’m a TA made an anime reference in lecture this week. That was odd.

Sailor Kenshin is sure to be stoked about that one!

Just started watching Inu Yasha again. 
I think there was some mention on this thread about turning away from that show because it depicts the occult—but it’s depicted as a feudal fairy tale, and that’s exactly what it is. It draws upon Japanese mythological references within an engaging storyline, featuring sacrifice, love and redemption (Japanese-style).
It’s not as though it was an American show with the premise, “Hey, kids, Satan is cool! Let’s all serve him!”

Apparently, there’s a Dante’s Inferno anime. Normally, I wouldn’t care - High Middle Ages/Early Renaissance literature isn’t my “bag” - but I would be curious if it were something that I could get my hands on without having to pay an exorbitant amount of money for a limited-edition collector’s Blu-ray box retail scam, complete with all the autographs of people nobody knows and a figurine of a character from the…okay, so I don’t like that the GF spends $60 for something she will watch once, I’m not passive-aggressive, not at all.

I previewed it online and I have to say, I am definitely getting it for my shelf.
Unless of course the game comes first. Ngeheheheheheh… >8D

From what I hear Dante’s Inferno is more twisted facts on religion with the typical anti-God theme for the sake of entertainment. Just like what they did with that movie “Legion”. I’d steer clear of it.

Apparently, you’ve never even seen the game’s trailer. How about the official game website?
As one who did both, I can definitely say your claims are severely unfounded.

“Dante’s Inferno” gets an “A” for art direction, but a “D” for execution. It’s not that the gameplay is bad, it’s just not that good. Unfortunately, the game designers spent more time working out “bounce” physics than anything else. It’s repetitive, if anything. This won’t detract from its earnings, however. Game producers have already figured out that good graphics and boobs make money, but gameplay is optional.
Oh, and I think that, technically, the indulgence to the Third Crusaders was forgiveness for sins if they died in battle.

You have the game already!? D8 I’ve heard people complain that it’s a God of War rip-off but I hear it’s only because they both had the same guy designing the levels.
Then again, that’s what makes it so appealing to me. God of War was just waaay too Greek for my taste.

I’m honestly wondering whether I should give up on anime. I’ve noticed that in almost all anime out there they potray a woman or a teenage girl is some wrong way or another. That is pretty much the reason I stopped watching bleach at ep. 6 when that spirit thing which “borrowed” Ichigo’s body when he ate that candy at a scene showed that girl’s chest with the guy’s eye’s turning into hearts. It was on the uncut version on hulu.
I still wanted to draw my own anime, but it’s hard to be an anime fan and a catholic. I wonder if i should just give up altogether because I have not found one popular anime that doesn’t potray a woman or teen girl in a wrong manner. Also some anime I see either show a man reading a dirty magizine. I saw it on Buso Renkin on ep. 3, Prince of Tennis on the credits, Dragon Ball Z with Master Roshi, I mean wtheck??? How can I enjoy anime with that stuff on there?

Stick to kodomo anime like Pokemon, Digimon, and Bakugan.
Assuming of course you can live with the label but whatever floats your boat. :\

There are plenty that don’t—Pokemon for one. Don’t laugh, it’s a great adventure, and why should you care what people call it?
I applaud your sensitivity to the subject. Whether you give up on it altogether is a personal choice, but not everything has dirt attached.
I will try to come up with other titles, but all I can think of now is Hikaru no Go—and it’s a good one. Who knew a story about a board game could be so riveting?

Well there’s also Beyblade, Astro Boy, Mirumo de Pon, and Hamtaro.

Hey thanks guys. I appreciate you suggesting some titles for me. Although those ones seem kinda kiddie.
How is Howl’s Moving Castle? Anyone see that one? I heard the USCCB gave it a good review, which is amazing since they don’t review a lot of foreign movies.
I saw Steamboy some time ago. Didn’t care for it. The animation was good but the story I didn’t really care for. Although it did show the dangers of what could happen should a man put his entire faith in science.
There was another 3d anime movie called Vexille. I haven’t finished it. Some foul language but as long as “GD it” isn’t in there it shouldn’t be too bad.
I don’t mind anime having violence provided it’s not extreme. I just don’t like the way some of it promotes lust. It started off god but has been misused time to time.
I do have one story I wanted to do in mind. Remember that picture I showed you with the two humans and two anthromorphs? It’s gonna be about them. (Although I may leave the fox out.)

Howl’s Moving Castle is good. From the classics like Nausicaa and Grave of the Fireflies to the Oscar winning Spirited Away and all the anime movies in between you can’t go wrong with ANY Ghibli anime.
Suggestions… It’s hard to find good english-dubbed anime that aren’t the run of the mill ones, without the fanservice et al. From the top of my mind I can highly recommend Monster, Planetes, Mushishi, Last Exile, Kino’s Journey and Master Keaton.
If you don’t mind subbed anime I’d recommend looking at Noein and Ghost Hound in Amazon, Right Stuf or whatever store you may find these titles online.
Funimation is also releasing Casshern Sins this year so that’s something you may also look forward too.

Hey thanks.
I’m sad to confess yestersay I gave into temptation and I watched a fan-subbed anime. I wish I didn’t do that since the fans had no right to sub and post it.
Anyway the show I watched was Ginga Densetsu Weed. It’s a show about these dogs who are somewhat anthropomorphic. They walk on all fours but they talk like humans do. It’s supposed to be a sequel of another show where a dog named Gin kills an evil bear and later on his mate becomes pregnant and she gives birth to Gin’s son Weed who is an akita breed. My guess this show is a sequel to the old.
Any way Weed’s mother is now sick from starvation so Weed steals a bird from an english settler namerd GB. After being caught Weed begins to cry and tells GB his mother is starving to death. GB feels pity towards the poor puppy and let’s him have the bird. However GB is punished by his pack of dog’s and is sent to hunt a duck. On the way GB and Weed meet again. I only saw 1/3 of the first episode so I can’t really say what else goes on unless I wiki it, though I don’t want to ruin it.
It does seem to be an interesting show but the chances are it’s not coming to the U.S. and I don’t think Japan plans on subbing this one. That’s the problem because that’s only gonna cause fan-subbers to do what they do all the more. Since it’s illegal I’d rather not watch it any further until an official dubbed or subbed version comes out.
There is I hear a lot of cursing. And they don’t hold back on the blood. I thought this would be more of a kids anime but I guess I was wrong there. I’d be a little careful about watching this one.
Still if an official dub or sub was released would you be interested in watching it?
This is a picture of the cast.

Oh, I didn’t know this was even a thread.
I’m a Code Geass fan. It’s one of my favorites right now. I’m also rather a CLAMP fan, though more so of thier older works. Tsubasa, Holic, CHobits and Kobato just don’t do it for me. My favorite of theirs is X.
Also a fan of Kaori Yuki’s work
