I was wondering who like's anime so the people that do what are some of your favorite shows. For the people who don't why don't you like anime do you think it's childish? I love anime some of my favorite show's are Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Gantz, Saiyuki, and Hellsing.

well i dont like anime very much but hellsing is cool.once i have watching it pretty much.it`s interesting.

Anime rocks i think i'm now some old for anime but it cool to watch some funny movies or shows :-) Like DBZ. Films are great too Ice Age i saw Ice Age 2 was soon come to cinemas :-) in my coutry. That movie rocks.

Good animes i've watched or watching are: The Flames of Recca(full season), Naruto(Still on tv), Gundam Wing(Full), Gundam Seed Destiny(a few eps) DB(Z)(GT)(Full), Pokemon(Yes i watched it! ) and some more which i don't remember the names of..

call me old but I like the mecha.

Also I like the thrillers like Perfect Blue and your normal good ones like appleseed, Akira, and such.. though most of them have been reworked, redubbed, etc..

I don't really like anime for some unknown reason ...

One exception though: hentai

i dont know why but whenever i saw that anime/manga ( its all the same to me ) thingie on TV i just drop the base :p I hate it !

i cant say i dont like anime because i dont watch it much... but i rather watch real movies...

Anime is alright as long as:

1. It doesn't try to be funny or cute. This always fails, horribly.

2. The voice actors don't sound like they're five.

3. The storyline isn't full of cliches.

That said, I like the Ghost In The Shell shows Standalone Complex and Witch Hunter Robin, some of the early Helsing episodes, Wolf's Rain, and the original dot Hack (as opposed to the one that tried to be "cutesy").

If you dont like that, you dont really like animes . Nothing can beat the high voice of a cute girl. non-original syncronizations sound totally diffrent. I dont want to convoince people who dont like the Japanese to like them, its a personal favor. However we should keep in mind the Japanese voices are in most cases the original ones, so they are most likle the ones best fitting to the character from the point of the creator of the anime.

But dont think just because I really like those voices, i will always prefer them to a regional voice. I will most likely prefer them to an English voice, but I usually prefer Germans voices, if they are not too bad, because I can simply enjoy the anime more, when I can actually understand what they are talking and my eyes can watch the animations and dont need to keep my eyes on the subtitiles .

I tried to like anime, but I just can't... My fingers now switch the channel automatically if some anime is on.

I tried watching Inuyasha once, and I was honestly so disgusted it was amazing. Forget about the voices (which sound annoying), forget the animation (I like the drawing-style, but the animation part is horrible.. I've seen 1950s russian cartoons that looked better), but the PLOT > OMG, that kind of shit could go when I was 9, but I couldn't believe how incredibly stupid it was.

That was my first and last impression of Inuyasha. I've seen a couple of feature length animes that were really interesting (Akira, and I can't remember the name of the second one), but that's about it.

i like bleach and naruto..
