Animies

Recently I have been watching (for research purposes) a lot of japanese animation (animie)...and I have found out quiet a number of things i am (unfortunatley) going to share with you.
before we go into that, i'd like to explain why i've been watching so much of them. a friend of mine sent me a text; asking if i wanted to creat a manga novel with him and being that i'm not doing anything worthwhile with my life at the moment i said why the fuck not.

So we droped down a our ideas (although my friend Reza came up with almost everything and i just nodded my head in agreement) and i decided that if we're gonna do this right, then i should make sure we know what the hell we're getting into, which thus lead me to my (unhealthy amount as Jeremy so put it) of mangas and animes viewing.


heres a list of some i've seen recently, Bastard!!!, AirGear, Angel Cop, GetBackers, Vampire Hunter D (bloodlust) Cowboy Bebop,Lupin the third, Escaflowne and many others that i cant remember.
anyways after watching hours and hours and hours of these japanese cartoonies i have come to realise that its an unwritten rule that the dialouge of anime series have to be idiotic, retarded, cheesy, annoying, frustrating and utterly ridiculous....i am not in anyway joking. at one point i could feel my head swell and almost implode as the idioticy set itself in my head. the weird thing is that even with all that power of stupidity that could surely kill a man, i found myself watching more animes and more mangas.
i dont understand why but i just kept on watching, maybe its all the sexual inuendos(hey i'm not some sick perv, you should see the things they put in these cartoons it does get very erotic....ok maybe i am a bit of a perv but only just a bit: who the fuck isnt these days)

the dialouge is the most annoying thing when it comes to animes, the plot usually are entertaining, even though a lot of them are just revised versions of some other anime/manga. but the dialouge are always (not always though) so bloody shite and i swear to God i have seen anime/mangas where the characters suffer from over acting...over acting, in a cartoon? just watch Hellsing and you'll know what i'm talking about.
their also the cheesiest things ever, yes cheesier than Sun Set Beach, cheesier than O.C and even cheesier than white boy bands.(ok maybe not, but their almost neck and neck), i mean i understand why they have to include such themes but why all that cheese?


although i have just say that not all animes fall into the retarded catergory, there are quiet a number of them that are just amazing beyound words, the dialouge sharp, witty, intelligent, mature and on point. the plot refreshing, the characters enjoyable and unqiue and over all just great. i would recomment any and everyone to watch these ones. Trigun, Cowboy bebop (the series and the movie) Escaflowne (avoid the movie, watch the series) Akira (if you havent already seen it, get it now) theres too many to name that are great but you seriously check those listed out.

i feel as if my anime phase is coming to an end and thats why i felt i had to write this down. i just hope Reza's and my manga lite novel will be good enough for people to wanna read it.

Now that the concept of virtually equal cheesiness between boy bands and anime characters has grasped my attention, I've come to realize the striking physical resemblance of the two!

The anime I was telling you about is called Elfen Lied. My sister brought my attention to it a while ago. Though the dialogue can be ridiculous, the fight scenes are almost worth it. We'll discuss it further another time.

P.S. Consult your nearest spell checker for that problem of yours!

Yeah, that's the problem with most of it. It's becoming a really recycled and extremely saturated industry. Then again, it's also a very paradoxical situation, because like you said, you still watch this shit despite it being so flawed. Most people who watch anime though, thrive on that static storyline which never ever (evar) changes. It's the charm of this form of entertainment really.

The best type of animes you want to watch for are those adapted from novels. We'll see what Femi comes out with when he decides to write this damn thing.
