No, I’m just genuinely surprised because it’s not everyday you get to know that someone’s a Christian - much less Catholic - here.

Does this include fictional people? Cuz you know, I’m still reeling from finding out that the entire Tohsaka family from Fate/Stay Night is actually Catholic. >_>
 
I used to love anime, but lately my interest in the genre is decreasing because most of the new stuff out there is a recycling of old ideas. Either that or they appeal to the “harem” or “ecchi” formula too much.
I am still an avid follower of Hunter x Hunter and One Piece, though 🙂 And waiting on the new season of Chihayafuru 😃

I still love me some anime, but I know that feeling–although I don’t mind a harem like Tenchi. Too much ecchi makes a show unwatchable for me.

Yeah, well Tenchi is a classic 👍 But the modern days anime are just too much… 😊

Ahh, speaking of classics, I’ve got to watch more old anime that I never got around to, like Urusei Yatsura, Toward the Terra, Slayers, and Star Blazers. Although right now I think I’m in the mood for the original Macross show and film.

Did you like Yu Yu Hakusho? I am a huge fan of that but still haven’t gotten around to looking at Hunter x Hunter.

Yeah, but I prefer Hunter x Hunter better, the story is more substantial, Yu Yu Hakusho had too many tournments 🙂

The problem with Hunter x Hunter is that the author takes breaks rather too often.

Yep. But no more than the Evangelion and the Glass Mask (another big favorite!) mangakas :o

I’ve pretty much come to terms with Sadamoto being such a lazy slowpoke busy person. At least he managed to take the story thus far. 😃
 
Suzue Miuchi promised that Glass Mask (which is being serialized since 1976) was about to end in 2005… we are in 2012 😛
That makes Tsukikage Chigusa the person with a terminal illness with the biggest longevity in the whole history of manga (she’s been with a terminal illness for over 35 years now)! :rotfl:

:rolleyes:-_-…stuff like that makes me feel bad that I didn’t get access to Cartoon network during it’s 90’s glory years.I swear a lot of that old Toonami block stuff are like quality classics that I feel bad for not watching (b/c 1/2 of the time I dont know what you guys are all talking about when u talk about shows that were on that block).

I mean in Canada I was able to get YTV which mostly showed the Digimon,old Toonami’s big hitters like Sailor moon,Gundam wing & seed,Escaflowne,the DB trilogy, Pokemon, Inuyasha,the transformers unicron series trilogy,Yu-gi-oh as well as more low key stuff like Monster rancher,Duel masters,Power stone,Dinosaur king,B-damanTokyo mew-mew, Beyblade, Zatch bell,Eureka 7 and Ghost in the shell,a bit of Naruto,Detective Conan, Eureka 7,FMA, Bleach during it’s final years to me it’s that early to mid 90’s anime that Americans were lucky to watch that esp.interests me.The graininess,age,art style and dub quality of those shows in english doesn’t bother me much but I just feel* so out of sync* for not having watched those shows :(.It’s b/c there* classics* that I feel like obligated to watch them !:mad:.

Also it’s not like I have the same *“watching stamina” I had when I was 8 that kept me watching Pokemon consistently for 5 yrs.Anime is’nt a total novelty and fun thrill ride like it was in those days when it was still new to me,before I learned way more about analyzing fiction and tropes as well as having more patientce for watching stuff.Now I’m starting another program at my community college after having bugged out of my previous one and this time when I’ll go on the computer it’s hopefully to do work and not so much to watch anime (although Heaven knows how much I’d like to be lounging around watching for hours on end without a care in the world :sad_yes:).What’s worse is that I gotta watch my eye health and thus cant really go on screened devices for to long 😊.

But anyways I’ve heard stuff about Tenchi muyo.I remember seeing an episode dubbed in spanish while in El Salvador and since I’m now an OMGoddess fan I can see a few similarities in the character designs btw those 2 series.As much as I’m curious to see how the original harem anime did it’s thing b4 the depravity of the modern ones something I dont get is all the different series.There are like ones that are more sci-fi-ish and one where Tenchi is like training to be a Shinto priest but the questions that have been bugging me are which one is the oldest and which one did you guys who watched Cartoon network watch?.

*-_- Then agian that watching stamina I had I guess you can say was partly attributed to the undiagnosed signs of my disorder and having watched so much TV closely is IMO the main reason why I even had to start wearing glasses (darn that radiation)

Heard the name quite a lot by now but still yet to read it. What about it?

releases monthly for about 2 months, then nothing for four. It is a running theme amongst its fans that he will likely die before he ever completes the series.

You do not know true frustration at a mangaka until you try and read Berserk.

I stopped reading Berserk 8 years ago 😛 By then he was about half way done with the Hawk of the Millennium Empire arc. Now I see he’s on another one with no end in sight. I check the wiki page every couple years to see how it’s going. It was interesting, but as you say, the wait grew too frustrating for me.
 
EL OH EL try a series that runs for ten years, finaly gets the THE very climax of the entire series…and now, nothing. for 9 years.
