No soy hispano, pero me gustan las animaciones japonesas.

never liked anime

I’ve seen one anime called Night Nurses. Not for children by any means.

For those who do like anime, me included, I scored while living in Tokyo six original hand-drawn animation cels from Dragon Ball Z. All have the original “douga” pencil sketch. If none of this means anything to you, move on.

Kids and I used to watch anime all the time. Binge watched the Lodoss Wars back in the ’90’s. Kind of miss those days.Still occasionally watch one. Love how they change into the anime versions of themselves.

I loved anime since 1978 when I first saw Battle of The Planets, also know as G-Force (not to be confused with the Disney Movie of same name) and later known Eagle Riders

I love anime because the art form has so much freedom that it can go into different directions, and they are rated from ‘G’ to ‘R,’ so you parents be aware.

I’ve loved anime ever since I was started watching Studio Ghibli films (Howl’s Moving Castle, Spirited Away etc). Anime contains such a huge range of subject matter that there’s bound to be something of interest. Lots of stuff for kids and lots of stuff for adults (adult situations don’t necessarily mean hentai). You don’t like Dragon Ball or Naruto? Try Ristorante Paradiso or The Irresponsible Captain Tylor or Cowboy Bebop. Not into Yu-Gi-Oh or Neon Genesis Evangelion? Try Aria the Animation or Maria Watches Over Us or The Devil is a Part Timer or Oh! Edo Rocket or Wolf’s Rain. As my avatar image shows, I liked Paranoia Agent. However, it isn’t a series that everyone will like ( Ergo Proxy falls into the same category).

I got my start early on, back in the early 1970s with Osamu Tezuka ‘s Kimba that NBC used to air. Now I’m hooked on Studio Ghibli’s works. Great stuff.

Anyone remember an anime called Princess Knight?

I used to not like Anime. Then i found K-On, followed by Hidamari Sketch, Kill Me Baby, Rosario Vampire, and Lucky Star. Now i’m hooked :D

Love anime!

Whoa!

Anime! Oh yes. Back in the day my oldest was into that, got his bro semi interested. Went to an Anime Event in Baltimore Otakon it was called, around 2001. It was pretty neat and cool! Japanese anime is truly a unigue ART, which I myself enjoy very much! Sons and I still watch it once in a while when we can.

NeedaChuckleIs that anything like the pre-code US movie of almost the same name (singular, not plural)?

It’s easy to assume that anime (or its printed counterpart, manga) is all about fantasy and martial arts, aimed at adolescents. Those are very popular and lucrative genres, but in Japan they’re also used for education and business applications. Even as entertainment, there are slice-of-life stories about sports, romance, school, business, and history..As for their status as art, I suggest the animated film “Grave of the Fireflies”, a harrowing and beautiful story about two Japanese orphans at the end of World War II. The story is set in a desperate time for Japanese civilians, especially two young children alone in a place where no one could afford to care for them, or even notice them. It is one of the greatest films you’ll ever have seen, animated or live action.

I loved SPEED RACER (the ’66 cartoon, not the movie), I would come home from school and catch the show on local tv (analog days….).
