Nere: Anime is better to say than live action. Plus it's the storylines with good artwork that's like able.

Yes, but what I don't understand is that people who like anime seem to like all anime. I find it very hard to believe that every single anime has a good storyline, infact from what I've seen only a few seem to have what I would classify as a good storyline and of course this is the same with animation as well.

I like Star Trek: TNG, The Big Bang Theory, Reaper, Russell Howard's show. All live-action things, but I can't stand others. With anime people seem to love pretty much all anime regardless of the story or animation, just because its anime.

I have to agree with Nere on this one. Yes, I do say "I like anime", but I don't mean it in the manner that I like ALL anime. I think it's just something that has grown on us when we say we like anime, whether we like it all or not. (Not sure how someone can like every single thing anime though. I only like a handful because 99% of it is all garbage storylines)

I don't like all anime either. Very few of the ones I've read/im still reading have good story lines.

 

Ex: Fruitsbasket: great manga, good show

Fairy Tale: don't like manga, dislike the show

Orange Chocolate: manga wtf

Naruto: meh, the show is far behind the books

Bleach: rarely pay attention to

D. Greyman: like the show

xxxHOLiC: Cool show, cool manga

Tsubasa Resivior Chronicals: cool manga, cool show

Cardcaptor Sakura: like both the show and manga

Deathnote: awesome show, didn't like the manga that much

Ouran Host Club: XXXXD love the show, haven't read the manga

Kitchen Princess: ;-; I love it so much. Dunno if the show exists yet.

Any hentai/ecchi crap: what...the...hell...MY EYES ARE BUrNInG!!!!!

Well, you could say "I like Musical-Theatre" or "I like Documentaries" or "I like Webcomics" ect.

Its probably not true that of the three aforementioned our hypothetical person would like ALL of them, no matter what the form, but people would regardlessly say it.

 

Also in a more general sense "I like Fantasy" or "I like Sci-Fi" or "I like Spy-Drama", they merely denote wide groupings of shows that the person finds interesting, compared to other, similar, groupings.

For instance a person will often say "I like Fantasy more than Sci-Fi" or visa versa, they might love both Star Trek and Lord of the Rings, but they have made the conscience decision/deduction that they prefer one genre over another.

 

It is comparatively expediant to say 'I like Anime', as opposed to 'I like this show, and this show and this one, and that one, and this one, that one, this one, that one, the other one, especially this one, more especially that one, not that one, but this one yes, this one is also good' ect.

 

Also, 15th century France isn't exactly ancient. Ancient would be pre-5th century.

The Ancien Régime started in the 15th century :grin:

 

Depressing politics, male chauvinism, all ending in the pointless death of an innocent.

 

Death. Of. An. Innocent.

You seem to forget that she was a murderous swine, savagely killing Englishmen who's only 'crime' was trying to defend themselves from France's over-ambious would be King, who stole the crown from the House of Plantagent in 1337, the so called year of 'leet.

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

Dare we bring up a dusty old conflict, with everyone from that conflict long in their graves, between two nationalities, one of which isn't even present? Yes we so dare, even if it makes us look ridiculous.

Has anyone read the manga Shitsurakuen yet? If not, the manga I'm working on is more like Shitsurakuen, without the whole gameish thing, modernish setting and ecchiness. Not so sure about the whole demon bit yet

Just read some and I'm pretty sure that those sorts of things shouldn't be discussed on this forum. Its not pornographic per se from what I saw but the young girls are very scantily dressed.

Even so, its better if you talk about it here or even here where the majority of people are actually interested.

I don't really understand the appeal of manga/anime. Apart from the art-style it seems pretty much the same as other forms of media.

People always say 'I like anime' but you never hear people say 'I like live-action', people often don't like ALL like action but it seems different with anime.

I think it has to do with similarities in art style; not unlike how one can favor the works of a particular artist over others. Reality is just reality, one can certainly enjoy live-action stuff but it's too familiar. Too similar to real life for out minds to just classify as art, instead I think we tend to judge and calculate the situation like we do with our lives, and categorize it accordingly.

 

Also, anime is fairly niche. You can know what to expect, to a certain degree (though a change of pace, done well, can have all the more impact on fans).

 

Beyond that. Leiana, I wish you luck. Though it's sounds like you just described an anime and then negated, I assume, most of it's core elements. :rolleyes:

 

I think more anime series could do without the overdone, overly-sexualized aspect. I would have enjoyed Bakemonogatari that much more, were it so.

I didn't go into detail about Shitsurakuen, that probably would get me into trouble. And I, not a fan of scanty stuff, know better than to have any respectable character of mine in such an outfit. I'm not even gonna really talk about Shitsurakuen, just that my story is kinda like it (mainly the whole female knight bit, not the other stuff that is depicted through the drawings).

 

And for gods sake, I will never have a character featured here that is in such a predicament like those in Shitsurakuen!

 

See, I'm not that dumb. So bleh dX

Archi, the French wouldn't care. They know they'd lose, so they dropped the conflict. That satisy your pride yet? :P

The French are a worthy opponate in most of the wars they have fought...Indeed they won more wars than they lost. The main reason they lost was that they instituted a democracy in the late 18th century, and after some minor victories in Europe, got totally owned by the British and Prussians.

 

And yeah, I would recommend a different forum for long Anime discussions, or a journal of your work, though obviously passing comments (such as the ones already made) are fine.

I am sure that Nex would be happy to continue the discussion via PM.

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

Jeso: why the [bleep] would I want to write about a war with France? Nah, I'm creating my own mythical world.

Instead, I am merely going to ask: please don't actually try to rekindle old-ass wars with France.

...Create new reasons to go to war with France instead :twss:

 

I sense a conspiracy to deny England its rightful crown of France...And JEHOSAPHAT IS THE CHIEF CONSPIRATOR! THIS DECEPTION IS A CLEAR PROVOCATION FOR RENEWED HOSTILITY!

 

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
