View Full Version : Anime is boring


Internal

Am I the only who thinks anime is boring? I mean seriously, all these anime are basically the same. The only one that I could ever get into for a bit were Case Closed and Love Hina but then I stopped after like 7-8 episodes of watching them. Anyone the same? (BTW not dissing on anime lovers, just my opinion).

Theres your problem right there. If you are watching terrible anime like that, it's not a wonder you couldn't get into it.

And what do you mean by "basically the same"?

They all got that same fighting stuff, gets old. A few of my friends who do watch anime have shown me Naruto and some others like where this guy writes something in some book or whatever, I almost went to sleep. I just created this topic to see if anyone else are not fans of anime seeing that many here are (even has its own subforum).

@Internal, now you're really not watching good shows. You want to first look for something that you like, and see if any animes have that. I'm personally into comedy, so there are tons out there for me.

I liked Case Closed too :(

I think Trigun is one of the best shows ever, I never get tired of it. Well, I don't have cable anymore, but even if it was a rerun, I would enjoy every second of it.

Inuyasha was okay, but once it really hit America, everyone started wearing Inuyasha dog tags and stuff. Made me hate it. Plus later on in the show it just gets ridiculous.

I really enjoyed that one episode of Devil May Cry that was up here, whether it's a show or not I don't know, but it was really cool.

Among the worst shows (in my opinion) are the Gundam shows. Especially Gundam Wing. It's worse than a soap opera. They have an argument, cry, get in their suits, bicker some more, cry some more, fight and say "I don't want to fight you!" and keep beating each other up anyway, then one of them gets hurt, the other cries, and this is repeated. Unless its Heero Yuy, he doesn't cry really. He's more of a tearless emo.

The suits are cool though.

I think Yu-Gi-Oh was the next DBZ, because a normal episode goes like this:

*Draws card one...card two..card three..card four-- GASP! The perfect hand! Card five...or however many cards they hold*
"Alright. I play DARK MYSTICAL ELF IN DEFENSIVE POSITION! And end my turn."
"Ohh!!! That card!!! *fearful stare* Oh-ho! But I play...FIERY SWORDSMAN!! IN ATTACK POSITION!!! AND PLACE ONE CARD FACE DOWN!!!"
*6 minute explanation of what the card does, all known by heart of course*
"Ah!"
"YEAH! FIERY SWORDSMAN! SLICE THAT DARK MYSTICAL ELF INTO OBLIVION!!!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!! NOOOO MY DARK MYSTICAL ELF!!!"
*Life points going down! Boobooboobooboo-beep!*
"AHA! YOUR POWER LEVEL IS NO LONGER OVER NINE THOUSAND!"

And well it pretty much goes on like that for a while.

That right there in bold is the best thing i have seen anyone post before, cheers!

I also have to agree with cereal&milk, laughingman if we go by what you are saying then basicly more than half of the animes out right now are the "new DBZ"

Although i do give it to you that bleach and even naruto have similarities with DBZ. which is why i dont really watch naruto and bleach is only decent because of the whole shinigami/hollow thing.

There alot of anime genres out there, im usually one that enjoy comedy and lots of serious mind fuck ones.

Oh lawd. Naruto isn't even about Ninja arts anymore, not even in the least. I'm sure it changed some time after Rock Lee took the weights off and started teleporting around the field. Now it's about magical warriors claiming to be ninjas.

Quit comparing Bleach to DBZ, they aren't on the same level. I couldn't stand DBZ, it made me want to rip my eyeballs from their sockets and crush from the horid stupidity of that show. DBZ was nothing but mindless battles that made very little sense in the first place.

Bleach actually uses Japanese myths for the background of the story. Shinigami translates to death go which litterally means soul reaper or more traditionally Grim Reaper. Bleach actually takes time to develop its plot and it makes me go crazy when I constantly see these "once DBZ fans" complain about a 2 or 3 episode filler that tries to make the story in the long run last and vary.

Also, that last part about order of events, that happened in animes even before DBZ, so that is a false comparison.

--My anger rises everytime I hear the phrase, "Bleach is the new DBZ," cause it ain't!!.

edit: I need to add something good.

If you like harem anime, then I strongly suggest Shuffle, a herem with a modern sci-fi twist that prooves to make the anime very funny (no real combat in this)

I used to absolutely hate anime, seeing as the entire string of islands knows as Japan, and all it brings scares me. But a few weeks ago while I was on vacation at my grandmothers house, I was stuck in a basement with a bed, light and TV to sleep. So, I popped on the TV on Saturday night and there was Adult Swim, with the tail end of Bleach on. So I left it on to mock it.

I thought Bleach was pretty well, retarded, so I continued to watch and mock. If I remember right, the next show that came on was Blood+ which was OK. Then came Ghost in the Shell, the first anime show I've ever actually enjoyed. I'm pretty sure it's a kind of cult favorite, but for those of you who don't know it's pretty much a BA futuristic show of COPS. I then ended my night by watching some Vampire show, which was also pretty decent.

Later I watched the movie of Ghost in the Shell via YouTube, and thought it was ok, but not as good as that episode was.

End.

Quickhand, your wallpaper on the first page did not affect me. Why? Hentai is just cartoons and your wallpaper did not really reveal anything.

I like some cartoon shows like South Park, The Simpsons, and other shows that are not cartoons but anime, atleast the ones I have seen are just plain boring. The plots are pretty much the same except the reason why I liked Case Closed was because the plot changed all the time.

Anime is pretty static in terms of what happens, that Naruto dude just keeping fighting. At a time I did like pokemen (everyone did a long time back in the 90s) but then I realized it is just the same plot over and over, same person just throwing different pokeman out.

Bleach is so overrated, I liked the beginning of it, it was one of those funny Anime, but after the show progressed it turned into the 25minutes of " oh my god hes so powerful", "how do i beat him", and random bursts of "Hyaaaahh" and partial " Byahhhhhhhhh". =P Same thing with naruto, it was cool at the beggining but after a few episodes I had one too many "Believe it!"

He didn't even know how to pass a soccer ball, but he could handle it perfectly.

That made about as much sense as a polar bear on a tropical island.

i dont like anime, nor can i understand the fascination with it. Picture perfect characters with random childish expressions and humour and seemingly pointless fight scenes. plus there always seems to be an overabundance of annoying pre-pubescent kids taking major roles. Anime is just cartoons with a superiority complex.

That's actually possible. I knew somebody like that as well. He could play basketball perfectly, handle, shoot, dunk, the works. But when it came to passing...:-/

He wasn't even a ball-hog, so it was kind of weird, lmao.

The way I think of it, anime does what live action could do without looking retarded.

Some of the things in the shows are still ridiculous but it would be a hundred times worse if a real person was acting it out. I don't like most anime anyway though..

live action rp is retarded whatever way you look at it. a friend of mine was heavily into that as well as anime. i never said anything to him though nor did i crap all over his hobbies and personal preferences. but i still thought it was totally retarded.

Ha, well it's still ridiculous, but less ridiculous than it would be if a real person was doing it.

I mean can you imagine a guy wearing a huge blond wig standing there and yelling for 15 minutes, without smiling to yourself?

I've watched a few animes... Like hellsing, because the soundtrack was roxor, samurai champloo because it was the best anime ever, and rurouni kenshin OVA(the only part of rurouni kenshin that was well-drawn and had a good story)...

What I don't get, and really don't like, is otakus. Yea Im talking about all of those who watch animne and basically nothing else.
Newsflash: japan does not equal anime, and otaku equals Fail-at-life in japan, so no future there.
Most people in japan are not otakus, and those who watch anime watch it with the same atitude westerners would watch normal tv-series, because that's what they are, just animated instead of with real actors...

How many westerners watch tv series non-stop all the time, download every damn seires to be released over piratebay, and watch every new episode on youtube the moment it's released? Not many.

So basically, when I see and hear about people who watch anime all the time, Im thinking they're fooling themselves... They're so in love with japan, and thouroughly biased, that they have convinced themselves that 90% of all anime is quality entertainment, and they'll watch it no matter what... It's just kinda sad...

Most people that do it, do it because only a little bit is released for other countries. I personally want to go to Japan to get a self-cleaning toilet, a sensory sink and a power-suit (increases body strength 5 fold).

Fucking agreed. Yu-Gi-Oh pissed me off with that. Really it did. He'd be getting his arse whooped, having, like, 200 life-points are whatever left, and the other guy would have 4000. Tell me he doesn't pull some random chain reaction effect out of his ass. The guy would get some card we've never heard about before out of his deck at impeccable timing and then pwn the offender. Bullshit.

Haha. You guys would love to visit my school.

There's an actual Naruto "gang". They walk around the hallways in a big group all wearing Naruto headbands, that is until one of the APs finds them and tells them to take off the headbands.

One morning I went outside and saw this kid sitting on a rock in the school's front where the buses stop by to drop kids off, just sitting there doing hand signs with his Naruto headband on for at least half an hour.

There's also a guy who wears a Trigun trenchcoat to school sometimes.

LMFAO. I would have already slapped one of them on the neck so hard the head band would fly off.

moved to anime section

Anyway, from the sounds of it you only watched crap anime. Find some stuff from the GainaX studio. Truly wonderful stories.

Oh, and any anime series that does not have an end in sight sucks.
It's like having a book that never ends. It's fun and entertaining for a little while, but it just starts to repeat itself and it gets stupid and boring.

Stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end. If it's missing any of those, it's simply not a story.
