Ghost in the Shell was a turd wrapped in shiny foil. I can't stand anime's approach to storytelling. I can't stand the archetypes and their painfully exaggerated reactions (no, a 40 year old war veteran does not behave like some dumb kid who isn't even old enough to buy cigarettes) to gloriously epic events (or overly glorified mundane things).

Damn foreigners.

Gits2 (2004) is not like the first one. There is child molestation and witty philosophy-quotes.

It's ok, but more than a little overrated. Anyway, if you liked Cowboy Bebop, you'll like Samurai Champloo... it's similar in style, but instead of the cyber-jazz punk atmosphere, it's set in Japan in like the 1800's and involves samurais. By all the same people who made Bebop.

I know it's old, but anime hatred is eternal.

They even have a picture of Susan.

Big dissapointment imo... they worked a lot of years and that shit, and it wasn't even half-decent..

nice effects and all, just not worth it.

Most of anime and manga is totally moronic.

Really, Japanese usually take some stuff and make it worse. It's a gift or something. Their comics? Worse. TV shows? Worse. Games? Worse.
It's because stuff they make is so fucking infantile and repetitive. AND on bandwagon. There is literally hundreds of animes out there which only differs by main guy's name and maybe order in which he dids chicks*.

But what's worse is the fanbase. I spent some time on one channel, 'twas #mangaproject, because IRC is best for downloading stuff. Well, how did it end... some of you know of my IRC script slapping anyone who uses "^_^" or "^^". It's still alive, yeees.

Of course, there are few mangas that are good. Geniuses appear even in shitting contests, as they say. Akira, YKK, Battle Royale, 20th Century Boys.
Few. But good. Overally though, physically speaking, it's within the calculation's error range, so I can say that M/A sucks balls.

* - By "did" we understand of course "kiss", because there are only two kinds of behavior in M/A: Either everyone fuck each other in every hole possible all the time(The Hentai), or girls lose counciousness even thinking about a guy(The Rest).

Since I read your post, gundam2000, I see the problem from a whole new point of view : anime sucks.

You're wrong. Anime is as bad as your typing.
