I guess I'm not a very good otaku :/

You might like the remake, then.

Cowboy Bebop is essentially a classic. Other than Faye's weird short shorts and suspenders (garters?), I find nothing to fault the series with at all.

I'm enjoying Ghost so far, but I can see what you mean about it. Has anyone seen .hack//sign? One of my favorites, and has the best music I've ever heard in a show.

And Houshalter I feel your pain buddy. I have no cable either

Boo! They have a kind of silly look that annoys me and they are in too many cartoons and games. Sorry.

Post by: Ta-183 on March 10, 2010, 05:16:23 PM: I don't exactly like anime as an overall type of media, there are a few (and I mean a FEW) specific things I like, but its mostly an "I know about it because the TCG/gaming group in the library in the morning is right next to, and often the same thing as, the anime group" thing. I can't shake the feeling that I have a growing, smoldering resentment for "weeaboos". Then again, hearing the word 'cosplay' tends to make me want to break things.

I enjoyed pokemon, but only like the first three seasons when I was a kid. After that it seemed like I was outgrowing it. Now its just nuts.

I much prefer history to anime. I spend more time on the history channel network than all other channels combined. Hist, Hist International, Military channel, etc.

Lol. I know some of these people. Its not that anime and that stuff is inherently bad its just... uh... whats the word... well whatever.

Anyways I have watched some of these anime movies that are ok. But I watched a really bad one with my dad once. At the end all we could say is that the people that made it should be shot. Thats how bad it was. I can't remember the plot because it was so bad and I'm not sure it even existed in the first place.
