None. I stopped watching Dragon Ball Z when like...they killed Brolly...and Goku died like...a gillion times....Brolly...I liked him so much...

I heard Naruto is good...Won't ever watch that though...it brainwashes you...

Look at shows on Disney...and Nickelodeon...Your little ones are whacked out.

Oh, dear God, not anime.

I used to love DBZ. Then Gundam Wing. Then I just stopped watching anime 'cause I had more to do and better things to do. Now I view it as a complete waste of time, and think "why are all of their voices so high pitched," when I watch it.

one of my friends was an anime-holic and she couldnt stop talking about it so she decided to make her own anime chibi cartoon, i think that is what it is called, and the only time they saw me in it i was shaking my hair around like a madman...( i have long hair)

I grew out of that phase a few years ago after realizing "Holy crap, I'm a grown man and I'm still watching this stuff."

Except Gundam. That show (rather, all entailed series) are my kryptonite. Much like a 'Trekie' is a devout follower through time, and can tell you anything you want to know about the series (to include the stupid stuff that doesn't even exist) so can I do the same for Gundam.

But I don't watch it much anymore. Except when new series come out. Of course, given the recent strain of new series (namely, SEED) Tomino needs to get back on the ball and make atleast a suitable closer to the UC world. SEED was ok even if it was a huge rehash fo many UC stories. Destiny was worthless. Stargazer is better than Destiny was. And it's only 3 episodes that are 15 minutes a piece.

And, as always, I've been watching Gundam since the early 80's. Many american born guys I talk to remember Thundercats and He-Man. I remember Gundam.

I hate being assumed as one of those kids that see Gundam Wing when it aired on Toonami back in the late 90's and believes they know all about all Gundam, and that Wing Gundam honestly had any inkling of a chance against any mainstay UC MS.

Heh i barely have time for it but Trigun Cowboy Bebop Shamurai Champloo are definitely top 3 for me. after that who knows theres alot of good ones out there. forget the name of one i did like that was on, some kid with a hand coming out of his head, kinda random but i liked it.

It must be an age thing, although maybe not, since one of my good friends that's near the same age as me (I'm 30, he's 32), loves anime. I just have never gotten into the whole anime thing, I guess cause I grew up on 70's-80's-90's cartoons, the closest I ever got to anime was Voltron.

The only Anime show I still watch is Naruto. I haven't missed an episode since its premiere. :D Sure I have better things to do, but that show is just so addicting....

I used to watch Dragonball Z.... until they came up with the Dragonball GT crap. It totally ruined the series. :(

And I watched this one episode of LupinIII. After they showed like... 50 nude scences in 10mins, I never watched it again. 8)

They are more than cartoons. Many have even received major awards. They have a plot and much hard work in them.

My favorite is Pilot Candidate or hyper police.

I see manga for full metal panic but i've never actually seen the show.

I used to be all into them...but i really don't ever anymore...every once and a while I'll catch something. One that's a little rarely heard of is Fooly Cooly. That one was pretty trippy, but it was only 6 episodes.

Aww...

Taken from various Google links.
Anime: Japanese for "animation". Japanese cartoon drawing style typified by short characters with large eyes. The correct pronunciation is ‘ah-nee-may’ but the more common western pronunciation is ‘anna-may’. It is often characterized by stylized colorful images depicting vibrant characters in a variety of different settings and storylines, aimed at a variety of different audiences. Anime is influenced by the drawing style of manga, or Japanese comics.
Manga: a Japanese comic book or graphic novel. Pronounced ‘mahn-ga’.

Basically, Japanese-origin shows like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, and Bleach are anime.
Those translated Japanese comic books where you read from right to left are manga.

Here, people are talking about their favorite Anime TV/downloaded show.
Savvy?

Don't read this next part. It'll only confuse you more.
Shows like Spongebob don't qualify as Anime because, well... they just don't call 'em that. Those are cartoons.
Avatar? I have no idea if that's Anime or not. The characters have big eyes, but not all Anime have big eyes, so that's not a criteria. Maybe it's Animesque...

i know what anime movies are i mean in one of my minor art classes we "evaluated different forms of art" and one of them was that anime/manga style of drawing.

Oh yeah, forgot about Hyper police. Man that one was good too.

Whenever someone says Anime or manga I think of japanese animation. Whenever someone says cartoon or comic, I think of Not japanese animation. Lol. I'm a big fan of cat girls :o . not to be mistaken with furries or the like, like sonic/etc.

Either way, if you get cartoon network, try turning to it late at night and you might catch a glimpse of something anime. It's not the best station for anime...the best is the subbed kind you get on dvd or whatever. I prefer reading most of my anime, but i'll watch it whenever I have time.

Trinity Blood is a show im starting to like, every saturday night on Adult swim, im usually coming home when its starting so its good timing.

Heh one more thing, if you like Ghost in the Shell, they made a pretty fun game for it on the PSP came out a while ago and i picked it up at gamestop for 10$ used. FPS style game where you get to command one of those blue robot things, tachikoma's? anyway pick it up if you like the show and FPS's.

Gundam is my favorite. Particularly 08th MS Team due to the more realistic mindset of warfare and mortality of the mobile suits and pilots.

What about Witch Hunter Robin? That one was pretty awesome. I saw one that was really cool, but I can't remember the name of it...it was blue something...or something blue. About the future when weird bug things are attacking earth, the main character wakes up after being cryogenically frozen...if anyone could help me out, i've always wanted to look it up again...

By the way, if anyone cares, the fillers are coming to an end.

I think they should be starting Kakashi Gaiden soon in a few more episodes.
And then, on to the main story to catch up with the manga!
