hehe ioshee Mononoke Hime i know what that is (totally unrelated, sorry) Some animes do have bad animation, while some are good. I really hate it when people say 'oh, EVERY anime has this, Every anime has that.' etc, you know what im talking about. For example, one guy only saw alittle bit of sailor moon (or pokemon, i dont know). He noted that when they cry huge gushes of water fly out of their eyes. He immediatly said that every anime was like this. No, its not true. Thats true for most of the kid ones or some of the comedies. But, there are many different kinds... so remember; if you see something wrong in one anime, it may not be wrong in another. You can only say 'every anime does this' or 'every anime does that', once youve seen every anime. There you go.. thats my more or less ontopic ramble Edit: just to tell you, the story Dragonball, is actuall Dragonball and DragonballZ. There origanally (sp?) were 2; Dragonball and Dragonball GT. Dragonball was split up into two different series; one when Goku was a child, and one when he was an adult. So, basically its the same story, but only cut in 2 peices (its a 3/4 cut, i think (3 parts 'DBZ', 1 part 'DB')) _______________ When you become an actor, you become the person, and you dont act anymore.

Dragonball, no doubt. Not the TV-show called DBZ (not exactly the best show ever...) but the books, they rock. |

That's the thing Ioshee. They spent a lot of time on that ONE Drawing. That's not animation. He's a DBZ fan. And also several other anime's I believe. And if you really look at it movie and tv animation is almost apples to oranges. Some feature length animation pictures probably get as a big of a budget as a television cartoon series gets for half a season or even a whole season. So the quality will be higher and I think the same goes for anime as well. Of course the movie will need more in it. Its goal is to make a large amount of money in one shot, rather than ads throughout a year. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Buzz is right about computer animation. It's just as hard if not harder than traditional animation, just in different aspects. Like it might be easy to make one frame of traditional animation, but it takes time to do thousands of frames. In 3D the majority of time is taken in setting up the final scenes that you let the computer render. I do think your friend is watching the wrong anime though Buzz. There is some really detailed anime out there. There is some really crappy anime too (just as there is crappy American animation.) Some of my favorite anime is SUPER detailed. Take “Sen to Chihiro” (Spirited Away) for example. Even when they are doing a pan shot on a single drawing you can see that they spent some time in that one drawing. _______________ One of the Belouve boys |

Actually my friend is doing 3d animation, and its not a simple task. you don't just push a button and the computer does all the work. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

I know it's very annoying to watch the same movements and frames over and over again, animators are geeting quite lazy these days they let the computer do most of the hard work now. If you want to see a fine example of an anime watch AKIRA it's amazing. If you watch the speacial features on the dvd version it shows you how they made it. _______________ if you're in a fair fight, you didn't plan it properly |

I agree with you there, Buzz. That happens a lot, especially in tv-series. Movies are usually much better, though. A perfect example is X - the movie, compared to the series. In the movie, there's some really good animation, but the series are a lot more standstill. The movie still sucked compared to the series, though. _______________ Second-in-command of the mighty FiZZsters |

I've got a friend in school to be an animator, and he like watching anime, but I think he lost some respect for it. Anime is a really cheap way to do animation. You draw fewer drawings for it. You'll seldom see a character walking and talking in an anime at the same time. You'll also see a lot of still images of a character in anime, along with panning on a single still character. After he pointed these things out to me, I watched for them in anime's and I do have to agree. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Alot of people don't know this but should, When Walt Disney created his cartoons he made his characters have big eyes and exaggerated features, the Japanese tried to copy animation this and created Japanamation another word for anime. It may not have started exactly like dat but that's how it spread. _______________ if you're in a fair fight, you didn't plan it properly |

At the very top of the list for me would be anything from Studio Ghibli and especially the ones directed by Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totorro, Porco Rosso, Laputa: Castle In The Sky, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, Mononoke Hime.) A couple of my other favorites at the moment: -Naruto (Awesome Ninja anime) -Shaman King (Great animation, but kinda’ a creepy premise for me.) _______________ One of the Belouve boys |

ive seen alot of anime series and movies so its hard to really come up with favorites but here goes: 3: Escaflowne - never actually finished watching the series but i loved what i saw 2: Trigun - alot of people bitch about the fact vash doesnt kill people, but i love the characters and the whole messege in between 1: Robotech - yeah i saw someone mentioned it below. its my absolute favorite. i grew up on this damn show. first cartoon i ever saw with actual drama and human stuggle. i only like the first two seasons. once it gets into the crap with the blond chick and the tanks i stoped watching it. that was so stupid. some honorable mentions are things like Cowboy Beebop, Outlaw Star, Hellsing and some others that i cant remember. _______________ "We keep odd hours...." ----------------------- They Live, We Sleep |

when you mention THAT, I'm reminded of the episode where he fights that christian Hiten Mitsurugi user (can't remember his name).

/me just watched parts of episodes where Kenshin fights Soujiru (you know, the kid who doesnt have emotions). It was crazy, he dodged Kuzu Ryu Sen... then Kenshin did what he was supposed to do from the starting... and we all know what that is (no spoilers... but its soo tempting) _______________ When you become an actor, you become the person, and you dont act anymore.

Ulic, I used to think you were perverted, but THAT.. that's just.... /me needs to see the episode where Kenshin gets wounded in battle (i.e. where he's fighting a lot of people and blood is dripping from his lip, I saw it from a commercial) _______________ slorp |

technically Xmen isnt "anime" because "anime" reffers to japanese animation most of the time... but whatever Ulic, youve seen alot of kenshin... but... you dont have a cross shaped scar on your cheek!
