The topic. You can discuss/chat/throw mud in this thread. A brief description from Wikipedia:
Anime (['anʲɪmə, ənʲɪ'mɛ] neuter, invariable, Japanese アニメ [anʲime], from English animation) is Japanese animation. Unlike animation from other countries, which is mainly intended for children, most anime is aimed at teenagers and adults, and this is largely why it is so popular worldwide. Anime often (but not always) has a distinctive style of drawing characters and backgrounds. It is released in the form of television series, as well as films, distributed on video media or intended for theatrical release. The plots can describe many characters, differ in the variety of locations and eras, genres and styles.
Most anime series are adaptations of Japanese comics – manga, usually preserving the graphic style and other features.
And right to the point. The VIP organizer of "HeroesWorld" presents:
Amaranth (18:59:10 6/11/2008) what have you watched?
Amaranth (18:59:18 6/11/2008) Naruto? Pokemon?
Amaranth (18:59:30 6/11/2008) Sailor Moon
Maggot (18:59:37 6/11/2008) Naruto, some other crap, a couple of excerpts from Desu Note :[br][/br] Amaranth (19:00:10 6/11/2008) Desu Note should be watched, not in excerpts. Naruto, hmm... boring, IMHO
Amaranth (19:00:29 6/11/2008) although there were a couple of cool moments
Maggot (19:00:36 6/11/2008) Naruto (like all anime) is just crap... That's my personal opinion
Amaranth (19:00:37 6/11/2008) but there's little of it
Amaranth (19:00:59 6/11/2008) you can't talk about everything, because you haven't watched everything. And neither have I =[br][/br] Amaranth (19:01:23 6/11/2008) in general, judging anime by Naruto is, of course, silly
Maggot (19:01:50 6/11/2008) It's all drawn :[/QUOTE]

I liked Fullmetal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell from anime.
Ghost in the Shell is great, especially the full-length films.
I can recommend Crocodile Gena and Cheburashka. It's not animated.
This isn't anime ;) Although Russian Pokémon is awesome :) In general, I really like the anime art style. I haven't watched the series myself, but I've seen a few full-length films that I really enjoyed. What I don't like about anime is the abundance of yaoi and yuri, in my opinion (I might be wrong, so I apologize if I am). It's not that I'm against such relationships; people should like what they like, but there shouldn't be so much of it. It would be better to have more normal love, and even better – beautiful heroes and monsters, more intrigue, magic, and artifacts :)

This isn't anime.
I know. I just found the "mega-argument" amusing.
I haven't really watched much anime. I can't praise or criticize it.
Why isn't there a neutral option in the poll? :(

Anime?...To be honest, it's nonsense. Just stupid emotions. I used to be obsessed with Pokémon in the first grade, that was cool. But now...Although, it's a matter of taste, I personally don't like it.

Even as a child, when I saw those ridiculous cartoons with absolutely crudely drawn characters (one half of the face has an eye, almost no mouth in a normal state, and a huge mouth on the remaining half of the face when the character screams) + 10 fps – I didn't understand why it was even needed... I thought the Japanese were lazy and didn't want to draw many frames per second.))) And now, it turns out, it has a name... In principle, I have nothing against those who watch it, because this phenomenon is temporary and will pass with age, as the addiction to youth subcultures should pass (in theory). But it's definitely not worth attacking each other because of different points of view on this issue. It's enough to simply express an opinion, which is what I did.

2Vaishan Here, a person came and clearly and concisely expressed their opinion, and for that alone, they deserve respect. Style is a matter of taste, yes. And being an anime fan and watching anime are somewhat different things; the former usually fades with age (but not always), while the latter can be enjoyed at any age; I have acquaintances who do so.
You can't show real feelings in a drawing (and you can't show real gore either). That's what I meant.
You're wrong here; you can show real feelings in many drawings. For example: 1) Ayashi No Ceres - it's about love and battles; it's such a sad anime that you'll want to cry at the end:smile05:. 2) Full Metal Alchemist - it's also very sad, about how the two alchemist brothers wanted to bring their mother back to life, but instead, the older brother lost his arm and leg (he walked around with iron prosthetics throughout the series), and the younger brother lost his body altogether (his soul was trapped in armor for the entire series). So, they set out in search of the "Philosopher's Stone" to restore the younger brother's body and the older brother's arm and leg, but to get it, they had to go through a lot. The brothers even fought their own mother, in the form of an evil homunculus. And when they finally found it, the older brother had to go to our world to save his younger brother:smile05:. Fortunately, they will meet again in the full-length film "Shambala," but many good people will give their lives for their reunion:smile05:. 3) Angel Sanctuary - it has perverse love between a brother and sister, but it's still love:rolleyes:. 4) Even in YaminoMatsue, there are feelings, although they are unrequited feelings of Dr. Muraki for Tsuzuki:D, but they are still feelings:D! 5) The Last Unicorn - it's not an anime, but this cartoon is also full of feelings and many sad moments:smile05:. In short, your statement is nonsense:smile48:!!!!!!! P.S.: I also love anime because there are many cool boys:rolleyes;)... P.P.S.: Maggot, if I see similar statements again, you'll get:smile10:... P.P.P.S.: Your statements make me angry:smile40:
Meggot, you're wrong. This is purely your subjective view on anime. I don't like anime either, but I don't shout it from the rooftops. Maybe I don't like all the "nya" and "kawaii" either? Again, I don't shout it out. And I don't laugh. I also don't like stupid grammatical errors that make it difficult to read a message. How surprising! I don't get so annoyed by it that I call people illiterate (secretly hoping that they are not illiterate at all, they are just too lazy to put spaces after punctuation marks, commas in the right places, and not just anywhere, and to observe elementary spelling rules). Let's respect other people's tastes and opinions. Even if they are diametrically opposed to ours.
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.

Very interesting. Two drawn characters love each other, one of them is dying, and the other starts to cry. What emotions! I repeat, you can't really show this in a drawing. And besides, in real life, there are real, not drawn people.
In principle, the idea is that anime shows what should happen in real life, only transferred into animation... Although it's a very strange animation, people like it. In movies, actors are also just playing, although it's much more natural and closer to life. But real life is completely different from both.
Real, genuine people don't have feelings, only basic reflexes. That's it.
But where does this come from in anime? After all, people draw it...

I remember watching anime in the 90s, usually in the evening or at night. I watched Gaiva and other cool anime (and we watched Pokémon as kids)... Overall, I have a mostly positive attitude towards anime, as the plots are sometimes better than in movies.
I prefer more serious anime; I think "Death Note" and "Elfen Lied" are the best.
Right now, I'm waiting for the continuation of "Soul Eater: Zero." I really liked the anime; in the very first episode, all the main characters were killed, which intrigued me.
Anyway, anime will always find its audience.
