Anime is gay.

There are some decent pieces. But the amount of crap-anime is horrendous.

I generally don't like anime. I used to watch DBZ years ago and thats about as close as I got. I saw the cowboy bebop movie just a couple of days ago and I kept falling asleep. Had to watch the rest the next day, it wasnt that late in the night though.

Cowboy Beebop movie was too fucking long and too fucking boring compares to the series (which were appropriately short and varied in content) D;

Manga for the win.

Euch. That's very very bad. Pokemon is the 3rd most violent-crime inducing program ever. Minors mugging others for some gay cards...

I don't like anime at all. There's probably some okay anime out there, but I hate the whole atmosphere of anime, and no matter what I find that it looks like shit. I'll take good ol' American animation any day of the week. The elitism of anime fans doesn't help much, either.

The only good anime : Akira & Fist of The North Star (the movie).

Everything else is all tenticle rape and furries.

I dunno, most of it is pretty sucky, but few mangas/anime are pretty decent. :porn:

As long as it isn't robot-girl anime. :tasteless overdramatized porn:

I really don't care enough to feel strongly either way. Prejudices and the opinions of others are irrelevant to me, and so I'll watch anime if it interests me, ignore it if it doesn't.

That said, I haven't yet encountered much that holds my attention and sports redeeming qualities. :drunk:

I've never seen Blargh so coherent.

Anime...ehh. Some of it is actually really good, but most of the really popular stuff is crap. The whole dubbing thing doesn't help.

Totally agree.

As for the original question, I'm no anime fanatic, but I have seen the ocasional one I liked.
For example, as well as the Cowboy Beebop series: Spriggan, Ninja Scrolls, and Vampire Hunter D.
All of which seem to have oodles of over-done violence (but without being hentai), so maybe that's why I liked them. :?

But from what I can tell ithere is a heap of boring shit as well, so I guess that makes me kinda ambivalent.

I like watching anime, and several types of them.

Big surprise...

Series all suck, but a few movies are good. Mainly, Miyazaki's stuff is awesome, as well as Otomo's Akira. His Steamboy was okay, but it doesn't hold up.
