Who are the anime fans here on DU?

[TheMightyFavog]

I like Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Azumanga Daioh, Ghost in the Shell: SAC, and Bleach.

What's your favorite Anime?

[AllegroRondo]

1. My daughter loves Naruto and Wolf's Rain

and some other stuff I cant remember, like Fruit Basket ??

But I do own Akira on DVD, in Japanese.

[sakabatou]

26. Fruits Basket

I don't watch it as it's a shoujo (girl's) anime. And if you watch Naruto, watch the subs. They're so much better.

[AllegroRondo]

30. I had no idea there was "girls" and "boys" anime.

but I guess that makes sense. From what I've seen of the Fruits Basket books they read like a romance novel.

[sakabatou]

32. And it is, with a bit of action

Usually a girl's anime will have a female lead, and a guy's anime will have a male lead. However this is not always the case.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. Me

Spirited Away

[Madspirit]

3. SC and CB

Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Beebop Rock.
Madspirit

[nykiera]

4. Rurouni Kenshin,

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Full Metal Panic, and Vision of Escaflowne. My queue at Netflix is full of anime. :)

5. The only ones I've seen which didn't have crap stories were Miyazaki films

But almost all the good ones have amazing animation and art direction, and are otherwise very imaginative. The ol' "mysterious father" and "silent, mysterious but deadly androgynous male hero" schtick gets a bit old.

[Chiyo-chichi]

31. You might like

Kamichu


and Last Exile


My daughter is the otaku, but she got me into it. I also like Miyazaki and both of those series are reminiscent of his work.

[LaurenG]

6. I like Naruto

but I'm not the anime fan, my husband is. Naruto just rubbed off on me.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. sorry

I'm big into anime rights.

I don't think big-eyed children should be used for our entertainment.

[Zookeeper]

20. Without their consent? n/t

[TimeChaser]

8. There's me

I like too many to list :D

[Archae]

9. Depends a LOT on the anime.

The stuff on the Cartoon Netork, nearly *ALL* of it, is trash. Garbage.

Some of the older stuff is great.

Project A-Ko
(Both) Vampire Hunter D films
Akira
Lensman
Ghost In The Shell
Cowboy Bebop

[ContraBass Black]

22. GITS and Cowboy Bebop were on CN.

[MiniMandaRuth]

10. I heart anime.

But I like too many to list.

[TimeChaser]

11. Have you watched any Deathnote yet?

[AWESOM-O]

12. ...

The three I tend to watch the most are Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, and Naruto.

[Giant Robot]

13. Love a lot of anime

Props if you know where my name comes from, although it was live action and not anime originally. Three wwords for you: Neon Genesis Evangeleon. Also GITS, some of the Gundam series, and Paranoia Agent, which really messed with my head more than I like to admit.

[Ekirh]

14. I only got halfway through

Paranoid Agent.. but then I ended up stop watching it. Not that I didn't like it . . I was just never around when it came back on here and there . .

[Giant Robot]

17. No worries!

It can be involving and it can put some people off if you don't like that kind of genre. I hope you get a chance to see it complete sometime.

[sakabatou]

27. .

Wrong reply. ^_^

[bridgit]

15. go for it...

Battle Angel, Cat Soup, Desert Punk the usual suspects :)

[nickinSTL]

16. not really a fan...some of the best is ok, but doesn't do a lot for me

anyone heard of Samurai X?

I just had to watch some of that to catalog it (rough job, eh? getting paid to watch anime).

What I cataloged had 5 discs, Reflection, Trust and Betrayal, the Motion Picture, and the director's cuts of both Reflection and Trust and Betrayal.

[sakabatou]

28. Samurai X is the OVA for Rurouni Kenshin

Episodes 1-3 are the prologues, while #4 is the epilogue.

[Danger Mouse]

18. I like Fushigi Yugi and YuYu Hakusho myself, haven't seen much else...

ever see the movie metropolis?

it's awesome, imho

[sakabatou]

29. Yes

And it was pretty good, though sometimes confusing.

[ContraBass Black]

19. GITS:SAC is my favorite so far.

[Orrex]

21. I don't like that creepy, pedophilic one. Oh, wait--that's all of them!

Two words: Kekko Kamen :evilgrin:



Just kidding, of course. I'm not a big fan, largely because I've been forcibly exposed to the bottom end of the quality spectrum. I dated a woman years ago who was crazy into anime, but I never caught the fever.

[Zookeeper]

23. I'm bored by what I see on Cartoon Network...

but, I like Anime movies like Pom Poko, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Porco Rosso.

[tuvor]

24. Galaxy Angel is fun.

Not a big anime fan, but this is good for a laugh. 15 minute episodes make it go down like cotton candy.

[REP]

25. We're Having Miroku and Sango (and Kirara) Action Figures on Our Wedding Cake...

So yes, I guess we are anime fans. Besides the obvious, I'm a fan of Paranoia Agent, Fullmetal Alchemist and FLCL and others.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

33. Naruto, Ranma 1/2, and Inu Yasha.
