I got beef with this stuff....

Yeti · May 30, 2002, 06:01 PM

What the hell...?????

OK... lets rewind.... Akira Toriyama creates Dragonball... good show... funny... not the greatest art... comedy style. Excellent....

Dragonball Z and GT are created blah blah blah... etc.... (I really don't care)

Fast Forward >>>>Dragonball comes to America and becomes another Pokemon.

STOP.

Let me say that again. "Dragonball comes to America and becomes another Pokemon." (I get to insult both shows with that one

)

Now... I've got no beef with either show.... i really don't care for either. Neither is a Trigun or Neon Genesis. k?

Now MY BEEF IS WITH ALL THE INSANE PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP ONLINE WITH NAMES LIKE VEGETA AND GOKU ... And before you start wailing on my a$$ let me say that there is nothing wrong with those names... Whats wrong is when you see Goku to Goku357 all in the same thread.... ITS JUST GODDAMN DISTURBING

Lets take some posts and see what everyone else thinks.....Poster your name and opinion *beep*

Ryoko · May 30, 2002, 06:08 PM

i don't really have a problem with everyone going around with the same name. my problem is when i go to suncoast to get the el-hazard series and see 400 FVCKING DRAGONBALL TAPES and no el-hazard at all. not even NGE. hell, they had 2 tenchi videos, all the hentai (

), and battle arena toshinden. oh yeah, and 300 sailor moon tapes. i have to order the videos i want to buy and have them shipped

grrrrrrrrr
*1..2..3..4..5..*

Well.... as one of the broadband crowd... i get my anime from online... so...

Trigun, Hellsing, flcl all that... just search for it.

yeah, but i want the quality of the videos, and on first viewing, it makes a big impact. (and don't tell me those are high quality, the bitrate would have to exceed 60mbits/s

)

Yeti · May 30, 2002, 06:18 PM

I'm perfectly satisfied with the quality i get.... Each 30 min episode (25 because it is without commercials) is just a little over 200 MB... and with the TV out on my 85k its just absolutely beautiful.

dipstick · May 30, 2002, 07:45 PM

It's too bad, I remember 10 years ago no one had a clue what DB and DBZ where. You are right thought, there are way too many Vegitas and Gokus out there. I just don't know if I can let down my boy Kakarot

By the way you guys know your anime, that's for sure

Ya know, DBZ has gotta be the worst manga/anime/whatever I've ever seen! You guys are just a load of fekking muppets for liking a TV show that's got more grunts and groaning the late night erotica on Channel 5 (UK). Whats more, the late night erotica has a much more intellectual plot - and its certainly got way more action!

I'm not bothered with all the Cookoos or Vegetables that people wanna immitate as it shows just how dumb people are! You don't see people nicking themselves from classics such as Akira (english subtitles - accept no substitute) or Perfect Blue because the people that watch them have a bit more sense than the average TV consumer.

Bleh!

dipstick · May 30, 2002, 08:22 PM

Actually most of us have seen and love movies like Akira. Also some people like different things than others. Sure I admit there are a lot of sucka$$ DBZ episodes out there but you must look past that. Maybe it's just me but DBZ just stuck to me and I really enjoy watching alot of their episodes. Have you actually seen more than one or two episodes? Probably not since you are saying that there is no action. And if you did and you don't like it then good for you, but millions of fans can't be wrong.

Silentst2000 · May 30, 2002, 08:41 PM

bah I watch dbz and have all the episodes in engish downloaded and burned to a cd.

on thing that pisses me off is that the cut episodes suck...period. and that the jap episodes with subtitles are better...I hate how they kiddify the english episodes but still good.

Yeti · May 30, 2002, 10:36 PM

Well, seeing as how this is a new forum... its good to have 1 kakarot (goku... etc.).

I hereby proclaim that kakarot is the one true kakarot and that all others who attempt to join this forum will be flamed by me as a paranoid schitzofrenic afraid of mutliple kakarots.

So there.

I am a supporter of quality anime...

if you would like a reccomendation ask me or one of the other fine anime connosieurs at this thread

dipstick · May 31, 2002, 01:56 AM

Thanks for letting me slide by

I feel bad for the next poor kakarot/goku to join

Yeti · May 31, 2002, 02:49 AM

good anime:
akira (duh)
armitage III
burn-up W (episodes 3 and 4 are good, the first 2 are kiddie)
SPRIGGAN!!! my god, man, get this!
cowboy bebop (weird name but good anime)
tenchi the movie 3 (better than the other 2 movies)
tenchi ova ep 1-6 (7-13 were a joke)
el-hazard ova
i saw 2 episodes of EVA, but i didn't like them.
dirty pair (original)
ninja scroll
wrath of the ninja

anime to stay away from:
legend of lemnear
maps
tenchi tv
tenchi in tokyo
dirty pair flash
poltergeist report (too kiddie for me)

dipstick · Jun 3, 2002, 05:17 PM

Nice list Ryoko, I will look into SPRIGGAN (since I haven't even heard of it before) and Tenchi movie 3. Just downloaded a few movies over the weekend-Ninja Resurrection, Ghost in the shell, Blood-The last vampire, and 2 Vampire Hunter Ds- I haven't seen them before so I hope they are good. Ninja scroll was also very good

Yeti · Jun 3, 2002, 11:17 PM

Allright <cracks that nimble knuckle> ....

To begin:

Movies:
Ghost in the shell
Akira
Mononoke Hime
Laputa Castle in the sky
Jin Roh: Wolf Brigade
Perfect Blue

Series:
Trigun
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Hellsing
FLCL
BSN6
LAIN (goddamnit!!!!

)
Berserker

(really good)

anyway... thats all i can think off the top of my head

Yeti · Jun 4, 2002, 10:24 PM

[size=xx-large] WARNING: Spoiler [/size]

What,... its simple...

For simplicity's sake.......
The fat chick (manager)... goes crazy... dresses up in the pink tutu... goes around smashing peoples heads in with ball point hammers.... etc. She just has an identity crisis... notice how she starts acting without the wig on?

So the main character lives yaddyadda.... its really not the best part of the movie...

Anythin else to clear up?

Yeah - exactly who is the chick that gets into the car and says "Its the real me" right at the end? 'Caus it doesn't look quite like Mima and the personality and dress sense is different as well. Coupled with the fact that you see the "actors" from previous scenes as supposed real life doctors and another "Mima" in the physciatric place.

And no, its not the best part of the movie, but it's sure very confusing

i see you giong out and buying much anime because you can't figure em out

(just about all anime you have to watch 5 times to really understand the story. it's the difference in culture.)
