Unpopular Opinions You Hold About Anime

[Foggle]

I've lost them. 

I'm pretty sure Insommy and Dalek don't actually like PSG, they just find it tolerable.

I think it's great, though... when it's dubbed and doesn't involve poop, anyway.

Next Foggle will become a TTGL fan.

Naw, that one I've actually seen most of and still don't like.

So, here's an unpopular opinion I now have after having re-watched the movie Akira again:

The movie is good. Not great. Not amazing. Not bad by any stretch, either. Just good. Its a solid movie, but I no longer quite see it as the masterpiece that many others do, nor can I ever identify with the few but outspoken haters of the movie. I do really like it, but just not as much as I used to, and apparently not as much as most other people.

That said, I'm still really interested in reading the manga, which I hear is much better when it comes to developing and elaborating on the depth of the characters. That was probably what held the movie back for me when I watched it a 2nd time. I just felt that other than Tetsuo, no other character really got that much focus to the point of really being all that interesting. I mean, other than him, Kaneda was certainly a likable character, but we never even really learned that much about him in the movie, or at least I didn't.

The movie is more amazing for what it accomplished in animation, direction, and atmosphere (the music is pretty great too) at the time than the actual rushed plot. When I saw the original dub I kept waiting for Kaneda to yell "Shredder!" over and over.

That said, it's a decent sci-fi tale. The manga's plot is more fleshed out from what I read.

I just can't get into P&S. It feels like APC on a 24/7 basis to me.

It's really nothing like APC aside from the first short. Seriously, it's not that gross most of the time, and it's usually pretty funny.

Eh its growing on me.

We have all agreed that episode 6 was amazing. Seriously guys, at least watch that one before you judge. And make sure it's dubbed.

[Rynnec]

Is that the Transformers parody?

[Foggle]

Is that the Transformers parody?

It's the first one with Scanty and Kneesocks.

[Lord Dalek]

Panty and Stocking had our curiosity... now it has our attention.

But

no rolling R's.

Akira puts me to sleep.

I love the Soul Society arc of Bleach. One of my favorite arcs in anime and manga. The rest of the series is filty, shit-covered, garbage, though.
