@MB: Neither did I, it was just my auto response, had to click the url to make sure it still existed. I wonder who pays for the hosting and domain now?..

So, you want people who you can talk to about anime, but not if they happen to like anything you don't? Good luck, I guess...

Well it kind of depends on what you like. Don't know what you would think of stuff like Eurkea Seven or Soul Eater as they may be too much like those "Saturday Morning Cartoons" you refer to. Some of my personal favorites (besides soul eater and eureka seven) are Cowboy Bebop (an obvious choice), Elfen Lied (if you like a lot of violence and nudity in your anime), Clannad (if you like emotional/comedy series), FLCL (if you like weird stuff), and Welcome to the NHK (depressing, weird, and a little emotional). Since it's around halloween time and you may be up for some horror/gore you could always check out the Higurashi stuff (When They Cry), Another, or Blood-C. Don't know if any of that will help, but there are at least some shows.

Satoshi Kon is a master of creating completely surrealist psychological thrillers in a way I am very into. It's a shame he passed on when he did, but his things like Paparika and Perfect Blue are still outstanding pieces of film which you should rewatch. I did a lot of my MA thesis on posthumanism in sci-fi animation, so I'll talk to you if you want to.

Got to about 30 posts before he had to lash out about all this anime. He couldn’t take it. It’s a shame of the highest order.

Anime is too 80's fag.

Is that an insult? Towards yourself?

I don't get it.

Well we do have a fairly active anime discussion thread here.

Yeah we tend to know a thing or two about anime, despite Jeff's opinion on the matter.

Only seen Paprika and hated it. So, no I guess? I do, however, like more than 'Saturday morning cartoons' as you put it.

I'm not even certain this thread is serious so I really shouldn't be replying to it. Yeah, it's a slow day...

I have scoured the internet looking for a decent authority on anime! Someone that I can talk to, and find out if a show or series is worth watching.

Every current website sucks. Naruto... dragon ball Z... bleach... what the fuck ever. they Saturday morning cartoons. Is there a small contingent of weird people who are blown away by Satoshi Kon?d

Not many sites out there, but if you're looking for interesting anime, Currently watching these:

Jormungand

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo

Magi

Little Busters!

Sword Art Online

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure <- just stupid to watch

BTOOOM!

Forgot to add these:

Robotics;Notes

K

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!

Saint Seiya Omega < - because, its saint seya

Not sure if these would interest you. Not really super poweres or saving the world stuff. These are the things that are currently airing and i think are worth watching.

This thread went to a very bad place very fast. I've deleted a lot of the offending content, but I suggest if you want to discuss anime any further you head to the anime discussion thread.
