First off I love animeshon - er, Japanimation if you will since the word means "animation" and I find it redundent to use the word a bit - and I have a whole stack of Japanese animation in my DVD collection and once in a while I sit down (faithfully) to watch whatever comes on TV. But of course I have other tastes too, such as animation from the states and *GASP* other countries too (I still miss Cybersix, hooked after the werewolve episode and Fox takes it off). As a devoted watcher of all things animated I have my own favorites, like the original Batman: TAS that ran during the '90s and Batman Beyond along with Spiderman (even the unlimited series) and as I am writing this I am waiting for Xiaolin Showdown to come on and waiting for the new Powerpuff Girls Z to come in November.
What am I getting at? Simple.
JAPANESE ANIMATION IS NOT THE END BE ALL OF EVERYTHING INKED!
As much as it pains me I am swamped by many so called "fans" yelling at me about Shaman King this and Sailor Moon that and saying they were here since the beginning, well I like those shows but I still love my Digimon (and Monster Rancher, Pixie ^n\./n^) and I like these new shows that have potental like the Winx Club (yes, it is a magical girl show, but it is like sailor moon I have to wade through the crappy second season to the kick ass third season) and the object of my new obestion(SP?) Xiaolin Showdown, and while I did once love the other shows "fans" kind of killed them for me. I do not know where does these guess get the idea that "anime" is the greatest thing ever made but it is not, okay maybe but only the good stuff (clutches his copy of Ninja Scroll). Even in Japan they have dubbed shows of OUR stuff, which I am despertly searching for a copy of a dubbed Japanese Tiny Toons Adventure :roll: .
I watched the small documentory of "anime" on the animatrix and they were talking about how this stuff like Akira and such and such was shown in small groups of collage kids that bootlegged it from Chinatown, or such and such, and I remember how I would sit down in front of the TV watching Sci-Fi channel's Saturday Anime and waiting for my favorites, Lily C.A.T., Tank Police and Eightman After which made me think that these "fans" are just some sort of leeches that goes with the tide. If it is "in" they lach on and ruin it for the rest of us then leave when it is "out", never truly experincing anything.
Now if you excuse me, I have a Katnappe/Kimiko fic to write... After Batman and Transformers.
