July 16, 200916 yr How can you learn from watching the shows though? The sentence structure is completely different so it's not like you can just work it out word for word using subtitles is it? All I've picked up from Anime is "Yes" "Hello" "Goodbye" "thank you" haha.
July 16, 200916 yr hahaha yeah..but Im on my way.. there are web sites that help a lot too... Hey I have to go... :nice: Talk to you soon
July 17, 200916 yr argh! how could i have missed this thread all this while? konichiwa, fellow anime fans! :D my fave animes are : - Naruto & Naruto Shippuden (not a big fan of how draggy the story arcs can get tho) - Bleach (not a big fan of the time wasting fillers) - Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex 1 & 2 (absolutely love them! Tachikomas FTW!!! :D) - FullMetal Alchemist (same as with GitS:SAC above :D) - Trinity Blood (fascinating vampire story, but didn't really like how it ended) - Prince of Tennis (this show got me interested in playing tennis) - Yakitate Jappan (bread never looked SO good & tasty... :D) - Hikaru no Go (i never thought "Go" could be so interesting until i watched this) .........ah, heck. there's LOADS more & my list'd be looooooooooong. but i tend to prefer watching completed series these days, cos at least there's closure & i don't have to keep waiting for the next episode. @ Yellow Hill : Japanese isn't too hard to pick up from watching animes...tho you tend to learn the informal forms of the language & mostly the male forms of words like "I/me" ("boku"). writing is easy, imo, when it's just the simpler looking hiragana & katakana stuff...once you get to the kanji stuff, then it gets tough, cos just 1 misplaced stroke could give a character a completely different meaning. :confused: & i have animes to thank for introducing me to great JPop/JRock music...like the songs featured on the OP/ED of Naruto & Bleach. absolutely love ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, who've been featured in a number of animes now.
July 17, 200916 yr Author Kinji must be tough. Btw, what's Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood? Basically it's a new series, starting from the start and following the manga more.
July 21, 200916 yr Just started watching Cowboy Bebop I really like it so far but I'm a little scared it is going to go down a road I wont like. I really disliked the character "Vicious" with the bird on his shoulder, so shit. But everything else so far I have liked.
July 21, 200916 yr I need to stop myself comparing things, because I'm just like "This is shit compared to EVA" Are there any more cringey "bad guys" like Vicious? The bird on the shoulder actually made me lol and it put a damper on what was actually a really good episode (where you first see him and we get a little insight into Spike's old life). I also hate how it is another show that suffers from "Needlessly revealing clothes on the female character syndrome"
July 21, 200916 yr Vicious is the main "bad guy" ^^ I also hate how it is another show that suffers from "Needlessly revealing clothes on the female character syndrome" All japanese anime serie has his "Needlessly revealing clothes on the female character syndrome" as you call it :lol: It's a cultural thing...!
July 21, 200916 yr Ahhhhhhh, I'm gunna have to get over the bird on his shoulder, really is a bad touch though. Yeah I am fully aware of it, that's why it is a syndrome, I just don't like when shows do it, even though it's inevitable. EVA at least mocks itself for doing it "Service, Service!" Ghost in the Shell was really bad for it, Katsuragi is just inexplicably dressed like a prostitute in Stand Alone Complex 1st Gig, thankfully she put some clothes on for 2nd Gig.
July 23, 200916 yr Ghost in the Shell was really bad for it, Katsuragi is just inexplicably dressed like a prostitute in Stand Alone Complex 1st Gig, thankfully she put some clothes on for 2nd Gig. you should see/read the manga...there's some kinky girl on girl action in them pages. :wink3: @Kite : is FMA Brotherhood completed yet? cos i thought it's still ongoing, but my cousin was telling me it's ended (or did he get confused with FMA itself)?

I own the manga, I was like "WHAT THE FUCK" at those pages, especially cos I was reading it at work!
