Just when you thought Naruto anime couldn't get any worse.

Only anime I've ever liked was DBZ.

and Gundam!


I never was able to get into Naruto. The protagonist doesn't feel cool enough for me and the way they tell the story is worst than DBZ. I mean, it shouldn't take like 9582345 episodes just to get to the big fight with the bad guy. Stop making fillers and get to the point! This was such a big problem with DBZ. Thinking back about it, I can't believe I was so into DBZ back then

Anyways, I've only really watched 4 anime: Death note, DBZ, Gundam seed and 00.

When people state what anime they've seen and what they like, are people talking about what's shown on domestic television, or are these statements from general browsing through other means?

I'm not trying to be a geek in saying, "You need to watch it with subtitles and not dub," but the selection shown in say, the US, is normally sparse and may not be the best criteria in defining the anime/manga market. I also know quite a few shows that have been absolutely butchered by the transition through dubs (One Piece comes to mind).

Right now, by the fact that several have said DBZ is the best anime they've seen gives me a few opinions on what may be the problem on the perception of the market.

For me its through domestic tv but mostly through browsing the net or word of mouth. As for the dub comment I could care less if it was dubbed or subbed. In some animes I switched back and forth in others I chose one or the other. For Evangelion I saw the entire series in sub but the movie in dub.

Man Seed and 00 were terrible, almost as bad GGundam, Seed was a terrible re-imagining of the original, I'd definatly reccomend going back and watching the original series of gundam up to gundam wing.

I liked Seed despite its faults...sure was better than Destiny >.<. As for Gundam 00 I actually liked that one a lot. Didn't they just come out with a new gundam? Gundam Unicorn or something, set in the UC timeline if I remember correctly.

*drools* Gundam Unicorn is epic despite the name, I'm waiting on tenter hooks for the next part

I watched seed but I must admit that it was objectively pretty terrible. They reused the same exact scenes sooooo many time that it got pretty annoying. I don't know, the story somehow managed to make me listen to the entire thing anyways though.

On the other hand, I really liked 00. I liked the fact that they tried to make the story more relevant to current events in the world. They went too much over the top in the 2nd season though.

I tried watching the first Gundams too but they're just too old! I guess I could finish watching Gundam wing though.

[screw_ball69]

Gundam Wing was pretty decent, lots of bishonen boys running around in that one, mech design was cool tho especially in the later episodes.

If you want all the awesomeness of the originals but modern watch the first part of Unicorn.

[Gradius]

Ironically, I've never watched Gundam. I just have them in my sigs/avatars b/c I think they look cool.

[screw_ball69]

as good a reason as any when it comes to mecha
