Unpopular Opinions You Hold About Anime

[LumRanmaYasha]

No, it's in the manga as well. Tenshinhan distracts Super Buu with a sneak attack before the latter nearly kills Gohan. He is quickly dispatched soon after and is forgotten for the rest of the fight.

Hmm, so he did do some good. Tear of happiness.

He is quickly dispatched soon after and is forgotten for the rest of the fight.

Sigh.

I'll need to re-read the manga, then. It's been far too long. I hardly even recall him being in that arc outside of that cameo when Goku is powering up to SSJ3, though it is a shame that he had such a bit role in the arc to begin with.

I forget if I already said this before but Inuyasha movie 2 is clearly better than movie 4. Back when they first aired on as, people were talking about how movie 2 was kind of boring and how movie 4 was "epic". I didn't care for the main villain's henchmen and Inuyasha's fight with the main villain was just him smashing the guy in no time. It was a stupid waste of time. In movie 2, I don't remember that being dull and I loved the part where Kagara beats Inuyasha's ass in his own movie. Also, I REALLY love that Naraku showed up at the end. Anime movies almost never have main villains show up. That's something I'd like to see more often.

Personally, I found all the InuYasha movies really boring and standard shonen anime movies.  Of them I guess I like Swords of an Honorable Ruler the best, if only because Sesshomaru has a major role in it and for the canonical backstory of how Ino no Taisho died being shown at the beginning.

In general, I find movies based on shonen anime/manga franchises rather forgettable. Some, like One Piece's Strong World and Film Z can be fun flicks, but even those ones I'm not really itching to watch again anytime soon. 

I know I've said this before, but I think the Urusei Yatsura movies are the best anime movies based on a shonen anime/manga franchise by far. No other shonen anime/manga series really comes close to me in having so many enjoyable and highly rewatchable films. Plus, Beautiful Dreamer is pretty much universally considered a masterpiece and it and Lum the Forever are my two favorite anime films, though I can see why the latter can be hit or miss for some people.

I liked the 2nd and 3rd movies. I forget about the first.

Does Lupin count? Because if so, Lupin wins here. Well classic Lupin. I tried a new movie or two and they weren't that good.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Lupin is seinin, and I was talking only about shonen anime/manga franchises. But even then, I'd still say the Urusei Yatsura films are my favorite franchise-based films. But I do think Lupin does have a lot of good movies, although some of the tv special movies are kind of meh, imo.

[gunswordfist]

That's why I asked. I'd pick DBZ then.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Y'know, I don't think there's a single DBZ movie that I still like. 

I still enjoy the Dragon Ball films, though.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I liked the one centered on Future Trunks and the one on Bardock. I'm not too big on the rest.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I like both of those as well, but I'm pretty sure that both were originally TV specials, not actual DTV movies.

[gunswordfist]

So, the two TV specials? I like Broly, Fusion Reborn and Cooler's revenge is alright.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I didn't like any of the Broly movies, myself. I don't get what made him so popular in the first place. I mean, clearly he must have resonated with some fans considering that they featured him in 3 of the DBZ movies, but it's not like there was anything interesting about his character. Hell, he didn't even have any character besides yelling and screaming a lot.

[gunswordfist]

I don't think the beginning of Yu yu Hakusho or Hunter X Hunter (both series) are too slow at all. Especially YYH. The beginning showed you how much heart the characters had. It was necessary.
