If anyone here has played stuff like Fire Emblem or any plot-driven JRPG, then you'll feel right at home watching a good bunch of anime.

Back when Smash 3DS was about to be released I always thought I would see "combo" videos with Falcon's F-Zero GX/AX theme. lmao

This is why I didn't join the anime club at my college.
You and me both, partner!

I kinda tapped out of the whole anime scene around the mid-2000s. New anime just doesn't do it for me. I like my Dragon Ball, my Transformers, my older Pokemon episodes, weird 80s/90s ova scene, Dirty Pair, old school Tenchi Muyo and Tenchi in Tokyo (my personal fav of the Tenchi series), that kinda stuff. I think Bo-bobo was the last anime I truly loved. After that I was like "ehh, there's a title or two that I don't mind but most of this just isn't for me."

I'm not surprised. Anime fans look into good anime. It sounds elitist as ****, but most video game players tend to stay away from bad games, don't they?

Watch stuff like FMA Brotherhood, Death Note, Parasyte and a few others and you'll understand everything. Even I have a lot of essential anime on my to-watch list.

I've yet to get into mecha anime, for example, and there are plenty of good choices like Evangelion, Code Geass and TTGL.

But you could make the argument that anything subpar/bad is worth avoiding, not just anime

I've watched some anime here and there but I was never really into it. I said that multiple times, I know.

Actually I do enjoy the Slayers... because "Justice Will Prevail"... then of course comes the dramatic entrance where I slip on a rock and slam all over the place like Amelia.
Check the edit

Because it's not anime at all. Anime is Japanese animation, so if it's not Japanese, it's not anime. Logic is this simple, folks.
That's not anime. At all.
ITs not an anime. its a ****ing Cartoon
Whaaat? Well This is news to me, all my childhood thinking it was anime :(.I know it's at least it's animation style is heavily influenced by anime like this.

Sometimes even the theme song is japanese, but that doesn't really have anything to do with this

I thought Hakusho was ok. I wouldn't call myself a fan but I don't dislike it either. That first theme song was catchy as heck though.

Tenchi Muyo lost me once GXP hit. I'm not sure what it was, I just didn't care for it. OVA 3 didn't win me over either.
Yu Yu Hakusho is like the one anime you can't hate
XD
Is mayonnaise an anime?:120: (Staryu because there is no Patrick Star emoticon lol).
Says you

Edit 1/2/3: Omg what have I stumbled into
I found a ton of patrick gifs

I see. I do think the animation style is heavily influenced by anime.

I don't know if you guys are into brawl hacking as much as I am, but I have really groundbreaking news! A new character is in the making and it's none other than


This is, like, the best thing to ever happen to me!
I really wanted Saki or Isa in Smash 4. Like, probably my top 5 characters, though I didn't have high expectations. Still, Saki would be an interesting fighter since I love the Cannon Sword weapons. Glad to hear about the hack.

S&P games are kinda underrated too. There's actually a lot of untapped potential in the series if they could expand on certain things. Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to see a third game any time soon (but I'll always be hoping!).

Lmao DK's teeth popping out of his mouth.

Ahh move swaps. Reminds me of the good ol' days of messing around with my AR.

Thanks to my brother bringing over a PS3, I finally got the chance to play PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale. I actually find it fun so far (just doing training due to lack of online & people to play with). Not a fan of the default button layout or the fact I'm using a PS3 controller though.

But the most interesting moment today is buying said game at GameStop. The person who rung me up at the store I think the person was originally a man who had a sex change (or being the manliest woman I've ever seen). Made me feel REEEEAAAAALLLLL uncomfortable.

I loved the old Teen Titans show.

But no, it isn't anime. It was made around the early-mid 2000s when anime really caught on and "the boom" was in it's highest moment. Therefore, the animation and the early version of the theme song was heavily influenced with anime in mind and alot of other shows of the time took a bunch of anime influence too, since anime was "in" at the time. Even the Looney Tunes kind of (and I do stress "kind of") dabbled into it with Loonatics Unleashed. Then the whole anime scene kinda fell apart. Big networks finally went "Why promote and air shows we don't even own?", coupled with the increase in piracy that was in part caused by the outrageous price tags on the anime ($20 for a few episodes, $100 for the season.) And those videos weren't selling because there was basically no advertising for a ton of it because so many of the companies were so busy trying to license each and every show they could that they had no money to really do any, and some of those companies either backed out or went under due to the whole thing, then well, it all just went downhill from there. It still exists, but definitely in a "amongst the fans" kind of way. Well, that's how I see it anyhow.
