vashti1999 · 01-30-2004, 01:01 PM

A couple friends of mine like anime, but that style of animation doesn't appeal to me much. I could never get into it.

ClassicComedyFan2 · 01-30-2004, 05:53 PM

I'm a huge Pokemon fan, as well as a big fan of the short-lived Tokyo Pig!

I also like Hamtaro, Sailor Moon, Kirby, Sonic X, Beyblade, Medabots, Yu-Gi-Oh, Speed Racer and a couple of other animes!

None of those shows you mentioned are anime.

But back to the original question....
definately NOT.

Those shows are definitely not anime. Some examples of anime include Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, Akira, and tons and tons others.

I'm not a huge fan of anime. The only shows I really like are the Macross Saga of Robotech and Voltron.

Brian Damage · 02-15-2004, 12:27 PM

It depends. I liked Ghost in the Shell, Voltron and some others.

I LOVE Anime! Especially DBZ and I am not sure but is Teknoman Anime? I really like Ruroni Kenshin to. Pretty much anything that involves a special power theme centered around one character or a small circle of characters with unfathomable powers appeals to me.

damin mance · 09-19-2004, 03:36 PM

hehe technically ANY animated show would be called anime....IN JAPAN; but here in North America, anime refers to animation done orig for the Japanese market. Most of what you see on TV here is very censored and cut up, i prefer anime the natural way , in Japanese with subtitles, but, if you hate to read, Inuyasha is the closest thing to pure anime you can find here...Rumiko Takahashi RULES!

Grayman · 08-06-2005, 08:30 PM

Absolutely not. Anime has literally diseased animation in American cartoons.

Anime animation is "stiff", unimaginative, emotionless, sloppy, and lazy. It does nothing to bring adequate life or emotional appeal to the characters, nor does it help to accentuate the physical inflections of the characters in most cases. I hate watching anime characters standing in one place with no other part of their bodies moving when they're talking except their mouths, and that's usually in a singular up and down motion. No emotions; no inflections.

There's basically nothing fluid about anime characters, their animation more like portraying people having seizures or drooling, hysterical fits than expressing true emotion.

Dialogue is important, but personal and physical body movement is also a huge part of translating a story across to the viewer, especially in an animated series.

If you like good animation then keep it "American" IMO, such as Justice League or a new, up-and-coming series named W.I.T.C.H., which does have some anime influences, but overall, is a great featured animated show.

As for Teen Titans, what an incredibly sad rendition of probably the best comic book super hero team ever assembled in the '80's. The way the TT's have been portrayed on Cartoon Network in such a bungling, ridiculous, inane, and campy manner is truly a travesty to say the least.

It makes me shake my head in complete desparation that Cartoon Network couldn't offer us a serious portrayal of the Teen Titans instead of the abomination that currently airs an that channel.
