I guess you can call me "Old School" when it comes to animation. I have never really cared for the Anime style. I much prefer the animation from the Disney, Pixar and Warner Brother studios. I do however appreciate some of the story lines and dark feel of some Anime productions most notably "Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D Blood Lust"

I much prefer the animation from the Disney, Pixar and Warner Brother studios. I do however appreciate some of the story lines and dark feel of some Anime productions most notably "Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D Blood Lust" Well, I bought my FF: Advent Children for only 8.99. Also 2-disk special edition I think the biggest misconception is that all animation is generated towards Children, but with anime this isn't the case. Most Anime is too complicated for children to understand, since its usually aimed towards adults. Shows like Ghost In The Shell, a philosophical anime featuring a Bi-Sexual Andriod Special Ops Captain, are probably only going to attract adults. But then again, there are quite a few animes aimed towards kids. Mostly are Shounen types(which are anime that are made for young males) like Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, etc...Its a shame those are the only ones that stand out in the U.S., I mean there is just so much out there. The reason I like anime is because its completely different from regular cartoons. They're more complex, the characters are real and have depth, and though it may feature a lot of fantasy elements its real easy to relate to. Its like an art form

I too love Anime. I have a huge collection of films. I have the classics like Akira & Ghost in the Shell but I also have a lot of what is known as Hentai which is basically cartoon porn. You wont believe the things that go on. :-)

lol, I've heard a many! Tenticles, Alieans, scary monster doberman dogs, not to mention so much bondage I like the old stuff too, since it tends to have a lot of quality but if the animation is just too aged or the Voice Overs are just aweful, I can't stand it. But some of the classics are spectacular (I.E. Neon Genesis Evangelion ) Where do you guys usually find your anime? i'm pretty much limited to shows on CartoonNetwork/[adultswim]

Lacey, you watched Carcaptors?!?! That is one of my all time favs! Shondra, so you've been keeping up with Naruto and Bleach? Gaara is so freaking creepy, and I'm loving the new Bleach story arc, I mean them being in the soul society and each having their own abilities is so cool!!!

Shondra, so you've been keeping up with Naruto and Bleach? Gaara is so freaking creepy, and I'm loving the new Bleach story arc, I mean them being in the soul society and each having their own abilities is so cool!!! Yep!! Last Naruto was so good! Gaara is completely insane. Naruto has come a long way. I love that Chief Toad and turning into the Nine-Tailed Fox was amazing! I can't wait till next episode. I was so tempted to just download them all in Japanese after that but I'm still waiting! Bleach is great too. I wasn't into it at first but now I like the new story line too.
