Yupyup! And not all cartoons from japan should be considered anime. You watched Reign after all, yes? That is just not anime. And actually I was bored outta my skull watching that thing...but had to to get to cowboy bebop. Do they still show Reign?

Ah! Um, there was an episode on South Park once that made fun of anime so say ou could be like um....Anime Cartman :D! (^_^ Not serious.)

I've seen the dub. It's good if you meet both of these qualifications
1)You're a goth
2)You're a girl
If you meet one, or neither avoid that damn movie

They put that evil show back on Adult Swim, ya know... GOD I HATE IT!!

All sorts of cartoons are anime... Notice anime comes from the word ANIMEATION and what is animation? That’s right.

Justice League not anime? What are you on? Dumbass, jeez....
AND YOU SPELLED SAMURAI WRONG EINSTEIN!!

Here’s the definition of Anime....

an•i•me

A style of animation developed in Japan, characterized by stylized colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sex.

Obviously, if you are smart you will notice not all anime is from Japan, well the anime that you're thinking of, not all of it is violent, and some don't even have futuristic settings.... And if you want sex go look up some Hentai, therefore... Anime can be ANYTHING and everything that revolves with Ink and Paper so don’t try to exclude anyone you gutless bastard.

I liked it and I meet neither of your "qualifications. It's out there but it was still pretty cool.

That fucking movie was made for goth girls to fall in love with the bishounen male cast. You can't deny that.

"Tokyo is the city where the final battle between the Dragon of Earth and the Dragon of Heaven will take place in the Japanese anime film X, directed by Rintaro (a.k.a. Tarô Rin; Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion) and written by the all-woman writing team Clamp. The Dragon of Earth wants to wipe out humankind because of the damage people have inflicted on the Earth, while the Dragon of Heaven is fighting to protect civilization. At the center of all this is Kamui, the chosen one, who must pick a dragon to fight for.

Full of dreams and flashbacks that pop up out of nowhere, the structure of X could be considered confusing and needlessly complex--if the story weren't so simple. Obviously, we're supposed to root for the Dragon of Heaven to win and save mankind, but the funny thing is, the Dragon of Earth has the better argument. If it were a debate, humanity would lose. But it's not a debate, it's an action film, and many of Tokyo's most famous buildings get destroyed in the battles. As with most anime, the women are either girlishly cute or slutty, but luckily in X, there are no graphic rapes; the love interest is merely crucified three or four times. It may not be the greatest anime film out there, but at least it's never boring."

I didn't see any of your qualifications either.... Goth girls?....

I never said anything about the plotline. I talked about the characters. Clamp made all the male characters for goth girls to fall in love with.

Uhh, yeah sure.... I wasn't talking about the plotline, I've read hundreds of reviews about X and they never even mentioned anything about Goth girls... Just because you think something is right doesn't mean everyone else does. Even if it's true, do you think I'd change my judgment, Romeo?

Thanks for defending X for me! I was going to say something but you did it for me. Btw if it was for girls, then why the nude scene at the begining?!

Indeed they're many things proving our points and pretty much zero attributes proving his....

I've never seen it (and something tells me that I'm one of the lucky ones who escaped its wrath). How historically inaccurate was that thing?

Didn't it also show Alexander fighting his father in one episode? I heard that somewhere, and know that it couldn't have happened because Alexander the great didn't become a conquerer until after his father's assasination at the wedding of Alexander's sister.

They could have fought, but not necessarily killed each other. Alexander can foght his father without killing him.

But still though ... why.... why.... for god sakes the thongs !

I suppose that the lack of pants helps them avoid staying dead. Alexander the Great died of a fever at the age of 33.

Well as least they're taking it off next week. Even if you hate Lupin III it's still better than Reign.

Where the hell is everyone? There have been no posts for about 2 hours.

I think I watched 2 minutes of reign in total. I hate it. and damnit I wanted it to be good.

I actually enjoyed it for about six episodes then I got bored with it. It was the same thing over and over again: some crap about pythagorean and a chaos stone (which made no sense), then the mom and the snake and some killing (which was the only decent part of the show). i just finished watching it to see how it ended (stupid ending as well).

Since when is there Saturday night Adult Swim?

Anyhow, most of the people I know hate Reign. It just sucks and is a disgrace to what we call anime.
Now some if you might wonder (probably not) what I call anime. I call something anime if it has the anime style of drawing and it originated in Japan. I have heard that some Korean anime is good (I think Kakashi told me that) and I have heard that there are others but we here, usually base things on Japanese anime.

On another note, sorry I wasn't around today guys. I was... busy, I guess you can say. I probably will be for the next few days too. Just thought that I'd let you know.

They said they were going to do it (can't wait till it happens). They will also show only comedy on Sundays.

Tinks the only one who can upgrade that. You can PM her and she'll do it later when she gets enough time to.
