The OFFICIAL Japanese Anime thread

[Sheena Ramone]

Ok, so as the profile thread to my character Rick Harding ended up becoming an Anime debate; I figgured that an Anime thread was needed.

Same basic rules for GIW apply (Obviously), and the types of Anime can range from things that got as popular as DBZ, Yugioh, and Pokemon, to the more obscure ones such as Full Metal Alchemist, Inuyasha, and Death Note.

so....let the Anime-ness begin!

[Sheena Ramone]

Alright....I'll get things started I guess; Heard talk of yet ANOTHER Pokemon series being announced to coincide with the new game....discuss?

[Declan Prescott]

Fuck, I hadn't realised Pokemon had ended. I was under the impression they just had some brain damaged monkeys locked in a basement, constantly writing and drawing new episodes all hours of the day and night.

I've been playing HeartGold lately. I had forgotten how fucking WEAK everyone in that game is. How they expect anyone to be adequately prepared for Red/Ash is, well, again about the brain damaged monkeys.

You seen Cowboy Bebop?

[Sheena Ramone]

that is ture; however heart gold is virtually just a re-issue, same with Soul Silver. The new games are called Pokemon Black, and Pokemon White.....yes; they have run out of ideas for pokemon the game, so they decided to segregate the coloured Pokemon from the White Pokemon.

No actually, my brother just got me in to Anime; he might know though =P

[Declan Prescott]

Heh, I don't mind Black and White as names, actually. The storyline sounds like it could be decent, with the antagonist wanting Pokemon to live freely. But it will really depend on how it's handled, will likely end up a pile of steaming goat shit haha.

Bebop is a show you should check out. It's kinda a classic.

[Sheena Ramone]

lol, that would be quite cool. The next evolution for Pikachu could be MalcolmXachu or something xP

just Wiki'd it a little for basic background on Bebop.
Isn't it sort of odd how most Anime's are set in the future? (Or most of the good ones anyway haha)

[andysavana]

HeartGold is the shit. The only problem I had is it took 5 hours to figure out just how to play that Voltorb game to my advantage but once I figured it out I got my Dratini and am now training it to attack colored.

FINALLY! I have been waiting for someone to create a thread of this calibre. I would have started one, but I didn't know if there were many people here who were actually into Anime shows such as Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Alchemist.

First off; the Pokemon games. I feel as if they have run out of new ideas for Pokemon, and therefore have been reduced to creating re-issues. Albeit I found it rather enjoyable to be able to play an old game from my younger years that I have seemingly misplaced in the last place we lived in. However, Black and White (Apparently) will be the re-issues of Red and Blue.....now, I don't know about you, but I thought that they already did that with the Fire Red and Leafy Green versions. The only cool thing is that apparently it is actually possible to capture Mew in these new games. It will be interesting to see how this game goes.

Onto TV Anime rather than game Anime. What the fuck is with some people bringing the piece of shit show 'One Piece' into the category of great Anime??? I mean seriously??? They are going to put that fucking show in the same group as Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, the original Dragon Ball (Before it became ultra repetitive), Death Note, and F.M.A.

For all those who don't know the show, it's about some boy-pirate and a group of pirates who have eaten some fruit thing, and can now stretch any and all ligaments of their body (Sort of sounds like a bad Porno story line). The characters seem way too over the top in my honest oppinion, the storyline is just fucking annoying, and the sad thing is (As I have stated earlier), people who would be watching the real Anime's are now watching this shit, giving it better ratings, and thereby encouraging new episodes to be made.

That shall be my rant for the day

Dunno where you’re getting your info from JK, but Black and White will be brand new games. As is my understanding, they will contain ONLY new Pokemon, to make them feel ‘fresh’ or some such shit. Seeing as the Pokemon have steadily become more retarded with each generation, I don’t find this idea particularly enticing.

As for One Piece, I wonder whether the version you saw was edited or uncut? I know of many people who enjoyed the uncut version and were disgusted by the edited version lolol. I’ve only seen the edited and it was a few years ago, so my memory isn’t great, but I remember enjoying it for what it was. Not as much as the likes of Naruto or the earlier seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh, but I thought it was decent for a bit of fun. My main problem is that it fucking drags on way too much. I think it’s the longest running anime ever, actually. Though I don’t believe it’s all that popular anymore (in America/Aus, I mean). I believe the uncut DVDs are only just being released now in Aus, even though the US has been getting them for the last couple years. Doesn’t seem there was a big rush to license it out here.

[Sheena Ramone]

It was probably the edited version; and the comment may have been directed at me so.

One piece is (As I have said to you before) and Alright show. I never once compaired it to some of the list that you gave as it can't really be compaired. I mean, a guy who can stretch into all these freaking sizes compaired to someone who has a wolf spirit (At least I think it was a wolf.....can't remember) trapped inside of them?

Although I do agree with P's comment about the only draw back was that it went on for ages. Except I think the longest running Anime was actually The Dragon Ball saga's as it was first aired in the 1980's as Dragon Ball, through the 1990's as Dragon Ball Z, and ended in the mid 2000's with Dragon Ball GT.

Personally; I've heard both things about Pokemon Black & White. I'll probably end up buying it just to see.

Some gaming Website. If it is, then I think it is quite pointless to bring out a remake of the remake.

Yeah; I think it was the edited....I haven't actually heard of an uncut version of the show....might make it go from shit to alright haha

Yeah, but's that actually 3 different shows. And I think most would agree that just pretending GT doesn't exist is the best course of action for humanity lol. One Piece is just one, never ending series. It's been going over 10 years and hasn't finished yet.

[Sheena Ramone]

that is true if you look at it from that perspective; albeit technically they have had the same characters in both true DB sagas (Who said there was a third?), and the same basic plotline, so it's not like it was a spin off or anything like that.

They should just bring One Piece to an end before it becomes overly stale...leave on a high rather than a low y'know?

['The Cyclone' JK]

GT was about the children more than the adults....therefore it was a spin off that failed hard

[andysavana]

GT makes me a sad Savana.
