To them it is not wrong to show things that we get offended at

The Japanese culture is pretty perverse in the entertainment department. And I mean it is really bad. The anime creators make them perverse, because that is what their culture asks for. There are very few that aren't like that. But the ones that are are generally awesome. I know I just broke some kind of grammar rule using the word are twice in a row...

Then you shouldn't watch the last half hour of anime unleashed on TechTv. That is generally what ones they play. Haha, I am still remembering Lain and Soul Taker from last summer. Lain was weird, and Soul Taker is just plain sick. Like, graphic. Sexually and violence wise. I watched maybe five minutes. Then I changed the channel. Actually, I turned off the tele.

I have never actually watched the evangelion series, so I couldn't say. What is it about?

**GASP** *CRIES* Oh man... Evangelion is just about my favorite "series" Go to NGE General Info for more info about it. There are a few bad scenes in it, but what can you expect for an 8 disk series... actually... it is more like 10, with the last 2 just recently (last year?) being released in the US. I think that there is one or two sex scenes... but you don't see anything if I remember it correctly...(i can check for you if you want...) you just are very aware of what is going on.

Are you talking about LAIN: serial experiments? I do not remember it being sexual in nature, well... the last episode... but I think that was just because I got the director's cut... I do remember it being strange.. really strange. Like so strange that it hurt my head... really bad. I watched the whole series while doing laundry/cooking/cleaning the house one day. Well, house was an efficency, which explains why I could watch it while cleaning it

.

But you should really check out NGE!!! I mean... really really really... I am not sure why none of the channels here have ever shown it before... *confused*

I have never seen Soul Taker... is it really horrible? Sounds like it

.

I am so mad at our cable provider, they are totally jipping us out of Tech TV. It is one of the worst channels that we get here... sometimes it works... sometimes it doesn't... and when it does work, it will flicker between working and not working... It makes me sad

And yes, something along the lines of what you said, about FLCL.

I love Kenshin. Favorite Anime.
My mother likes it to. In fact, she got us the two box sets.

We watch like...two episodes a night before bed.

I love Dorthy!!! She's my favorite character.

I want the DVDs too, but I can't find anyone around here who carries them!!!

Has anyone seen Metropolis?
That was a pretty good movie. It was clean too, and that's always good. Clean enough that a fellow Anime lover at my church lent it to me. (Along with his Big O DVDs, he got me into Big O.

)
It doesn't have any cussing or anything, well....only two words....but not like "bad" ones.

That's why I hate uncut versions.....they have some words (not exactly bad but....not really "clean...I hope people get what I mean) and well, Kenshin seems to have more blood then on CartoonNetwork, from what I've watched on DvD, later to watch on TV for the heck of it, it seems to have less violence along with blood....and well....cussing of course.

Does anyone here like Hayo Miyazaki? Oh man....I want all of his movies....

Half.com. HELLO??!

I'll check it out, thanks Linds.

And lain was not sexual in nature at all. Soul Taker was. it was sick and tasteless.

swim2112 · 02-09-2004, 06:11 PM

HAHA... I must have been confused... Taking what you said for Soul Taker for Lain...

My blonde roots are showing

Andrew · 02-09-2004, 06:14 PM

Thanks, I never would have thought of that.....in fact, I've never heard of it. Hah!

Half.com is the greatest thing to ever happen to online shopping. It is where you can get the cheapest CDs too.

OH YES!

swim2112 · 07-18-2004, 12:18 AM

That is so true

HI ANDREW!!

WHAT? Gundam seed isn't even mentioned in the list! How dare you slight me like that LOL j/k. But really, Gundam Seed is the best I've seen so far, and Evangelion is not far behind. However, I have to say NGE is a deliberate and disgusting mockery of our faith. If you saw any of it, you'd know what I'm talking about. And yeah, as u can see from my avatar, I am an Anime fan

Yes, Gundam Seed is an AWESOME Anime. (though Flay just gets on my nevers HATE HER. I hate Anime girls like her. They give us girls a bad name.

) I wish they didn't push it to 1' o clock on CN for Rurouni Kenshin. (that's my favorite show but I have the DVD box set so it doesn't make sense to watch it.

)
I still haven't gotten to see any of Evangelion. Shame on me.

EDIT: I've finally seen Trigun. I have been baptized.
Is anyone here into Fruits Basket?

That series is one of my new favorites. My mom and I are hooked. I have six out of seven of the manga books, and all the DVDs....... haha

Yes I know, it comes on at 10:30.

I was saying they moved Gundam Seed (that used to come on at 10:30) to 1:00 AM, to make room for RK. I haven't seen all of Gundam Seed, but I own RK, so that sucks for me.
