Mind-fuck indeed. You know, the first time I saw the ending of Texhnolyze it had such a strong effect on me that for a few short minutes I genuinely believed that I was going to go insane. I actually missed who you were talking to just now but I hope you can give him/her some kind of fair warning.Sakurazaki1023 said:It's an awesome series, but I will warn you that it can get a bit cerebral and artsy at times. The entire first episode is told completely mute with only a single spoken line. It does not baby the viewer in any way, so expect to keep your brain 'on' when watching it. It's also very subtle and not particularly wordy, so you will have to put the pieces of the plot together yourself.PoisonUnagi said:Whoa... screw Serial Experiments Lain, I'm watching Texhnolyze. That looks so fuckin' epic.Sakurazaki1023 said:
Thanks, mate
That being said, it's one of my favorite mind-fuck series (second only behind Ergo Proxy), and it's a masterpiece of animation.
I love it and detest it at the same time. Some I think are absoloutly fantastic, like Pokémon, Dragonball, Origin, Studio Ghibli and Akira to name but a few. But then it comes to the rest of it which I pretty much condemn like Elfen Lied, Naruto, pretty much everything on here seems to watch judging by their avatars.
Absolutely love it. It's got tons of shit, but it's also got some really great things. With that said... I prefer manga to anime.
There's good anime and bad anime. It always bums me out when people associate the good with the bad. There are huge differences withen the genre, and I gaurentee that anyone could find an anime they liked if they were willing to take the time to search, and not go into said search with preconcieved dislike.
I like it, I don't get to watch it as much as I like. But I did spend the day watching the entire season of Ga-Rei: Zero today
I see it as a means to an end, not an end in itself. If the visuals help in the storytelling, and it's a good story(or even a decent story) with good characters, there's a chance I'll enjoy it. Based on how the series is set up may depend on if I'll like it, or suggest it to a friend or two, and the like.
Of course, sometimes I won't like it. It's all about the story. If a story doesn't seem to progress, or has mediocre characters, I don't enjoy it as much. My favorite episodes of Dragonball Z are at the very end of the series. Maybe I'll look into GT, because it may be more interesting, providing it's not as drawn out as Z was.

im not rly a fan, to me it seems strange. I guess if i actually watched some it wouldnt seem as strange, maybe its just not my thing. I did watched and enjoy Code Geass(is that the name, with Britiania as the empire) i didnt see many episodes, but it was one of the few Anime that i watched, i also used to watch a bit of Bleach, but that was a long time ago, and many story arcs ago. I have many friends who enjoy it, and just because i dont rly like it im not gonna put them down.
i like it but i tend to hate the harem animes (Oh My goddess SUCKS!!!) and i can't stand lolis. but besides that it's all good.
WH40k fans, or at least the more extreme ones (I've argued with some before, never again...), strike me as the redneck jock douchebags of nerds; they dismiss most things that dare to use colors or optimism as "gay" one way or another, go on about how hardcore their franchise is, and generally do the kind of "mature x for mature xers" dickwaving most of us, worst case scenario, moved past in middle school. I think I'll stick to Fallout for my dark, constantly at-war universes.Steppin Razor said:

Whoa there.
You seem to be painting with an awfully wide brush. There are actually quite a few anime titles that don't use any exaggerated visual and/or vocal expressions like the one you just pointed out such as for example:
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Now and Then, Here and There
Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Serial Experiments Lain
Texhnolyze
Ergo Proxy
Mobile Suit Gundam 00
Gunslinger Girl
Karas
Witch Hunter Robin
Green Legend Ran
Voices of a Distant Star
Paprika
Perfect Blue
Okay. I could continue naming titles but I think I've made my point.
I hate the manga style -- Freaky giant eyes, stupid hairdos and costumes, over-exaggeration of everything, etc, etc... Since animé is basically a moving manga, that's a big eewww for me. However, if someone can point me towards one with a different art style, I might open up my mind. Might.
'Tis funny because 40k used to be less grimdark. It was always dark, but it's only after the takeover when they started to focus more on the teen market that it changed to be as dark and serious as it is now.A random person said:
Also, colours and optimism are gay. It's a scientifically proven fact >.>
I watched it when i was going through the otaku phase of my life. Now i just really care for it... I still read the One Piece manga, and a long time ago i watched a couple of episodes of the anime on Hulu but i stopped at one point to do something else and haven't gone back.
