My favorite was Return of the Jedi. I agree that the older trilogy was way better than the newer. I did like episode 3 though. Episode 1 was meh and episode 2 sucked in my opinion.
@rokkis: That's an impresive list, I still have a while till I get through that many series. You're absolutely right there are a lot of bad series, but fortunately I've had a pretty good streak with the seires I've watched over the summer. There's been like two bad apples in my list of like 10+ series.
" @EsN_Fish: Oh, my bad - I skimmed that post the first time. Yeah, I guess they (anime and games) do seem to share a large part of their audiences now that I think of it. "
It's all good. You just summed up what I was trying to find out. Asking this question on the message board I made for my anime club wouldn't produce good results, I already know most of the members play some form of video games.
"most of the action series are aimed at young boys. Like Naruto. A 5 year old "ninja" with blond hair, an orange suit and a personality that would be better suited someone in kindergarden. It's so stupid I don't even know where to start. Or Bleach, .... Fuck it. Fuck them all to hell. That said, there are a few gems out there, but I don't reccomend anyone them. "
No shit. NARUTO and BLEACH. More than shonen in the world of anime. "
It was just a two examples. As I said, there's a few gems out there. Too bad the good:bad show ratio is something like 1:over 9000. "
Same thing with video games and any other form of entertainment
@LaszloKovacs: I don't blame you for finding the question weird. I had some trouble trying to word the question. I explanied the thought process behind my question in my first post in the thread.
Yeah sorry for not getting back to my own topic for a while, had to wax my truck -_-'
Good to see that anime is watched by more people than I thought. For the guys who don't like anime, you have to remeber that most of us are not the target audience. Anime is made for a Japanese market so some of the cultural aspects may see strange to other cultures. This idea both pisses me off and entertains me. At times I'm like hey I just learned something, while other times I think wtf is up with all the damn stories being about high school students. There are a lot of wtf moments in anime but it's all subjective on rather or not you enjoy it.
@rokkis:
Don't base all anime off of naruto and bleach. Those are actually examples of how anime can be done wrong. Having half the series as filler does not make for a good show. Try watching stuff like Cowboy Beebop, GTO (where I got my avatar from), Full Metal Panic!, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Ah! My Godess, I could list more but I think this is a decent list for recomendations.
@AgentJ:
Good to hear that people are still getting into GTO. It's my favorite series because of it's sick and twisted take on the "feel good/ everyone ends up happy in the end" story.
@PenguinDust:
That's cool that you're still into both. I'm jelous that you got to experience the clasics of video games and anime as they came out back in the day. If only I were a few years older :/
Pretty much the only game I'm really waiting for this year is Brutal Legend. Other than that all the other games I can wait for a while. There's a few games on my must buy list, but they all come out next year though as far as I know (FFXIII, SCII, Tales of Vesperia on Ps3)
