[QUOTE=KarmaOfChaos][color=deeppink][size=1]Well, I'm pretty new into the whole shonen-ai genre, I'm more of a shoujo-ai girl, but I'd have to say [b]Gravitation[/b] is definitely one of my favorites. [b]Fake[/b] was pretty good, but not the best I've ever read, sometimes the artwork seemed awkward and strange. It had an interesting plot line though. I'm absolutely dying to pick up [b]Legal Drug[/b]. Whee. -Karma[/size][/color][/QUOTE] I have to agree in saying that Gravitation is really one of my favorite shouen-ai stories. (Actually, it's the ONLY shouen-ai story that I have seen. I haven't read the manga yet, but I do plan on doing so this year...) I really want to read Eerie Queerie, FAKE, and I am drooling over the aspect of reading Legal Drug. A lot of people, both offline and online, have read it and they say that it's to die for... :D

Well, I would love to see the characters animated, but I do have some of the same fears that you and your friends do. Also, I believe that they would make some changes to the characters looks. It would pain me so much to see them ruin Mineko-sama's beautiful style. :animedepr Like you mentioned before, the dub voices might not match the character's personalities, since some of the American companies don't seem to care about stuff like that...

[quote name='Kiyu-chan']~*needs to quickly aquire money so as to own more Dragon Knights things*~ Does anyone know exactly how many books are in the series? Is it 20 or 22? I'm too lazy to go and look... :animeswea[/quote]I think that it's either 22 or 23, but don't quote me on that. I can't wait until August so I can get book #20. ^_^ ...And no, I don't know the conversions from Dollars to yen... I'm so dumb on stuff like that... :animesigh My friend also said that she saw an Alfeegi plushie online, and I do remember (quite fondly, actually) seeing a Rath and Cesia plushie on a random Japanese DK site...

Okay, I declare this topic officially...pimped. :animesmil I'm glad that there are others that like this series. I have heard of the rumors of a DK anime. My friend said that she went on Ebay one day and found a Dragon Knights DVD with Rath and Cesia on the front. She said the price for it was in Yen... :animeknow

Time to pimp this thread... I have been a Dragon Knights fan for about a year now. I have read books 1-19 and am looking forward to #20... I got into this series when one of my best friends showed it to me when we first met in Art class. She's a rabid Alfeegi fan... My favorite character right now is Ruwalk. I love his choice of clothing and we have similar personalities. I write fan fiction for this series, and it usually includes a shounen-ai pairing. (RuwalkxAlfeegi mostly...) :animestun I enjoy the series because it has a very interesting plot line. It keeps me interested because of the many twist and turns that it has! If someone has not read the series, and is snooping around this [I]dead[/I] thread, I would certainly reccomend it to you!

Yeah, I'm reading it. (even though I've only read graphic novels 3 and 4) I would have to say that I really love it! It's really funny and I love the characters! (Pain and Medea are my favorites) The plot line is pretty cool too. Even though it has its down points, overall I would say that it is very cool and I would reccomend it to anyone! (as long as you're 16 or over. It has some stuff that isn't cool for the kiddies... ^-^)

[COLOR=DarkRed]I would not date: Wufei (Gundam Wing)-- Even though I think he's as cute as a button I would not and could not date him... I would get bored with his 'This is an injustice!' speeches and his many power trips. I could just imagine him getting angry because of petty things like there not being enough ice cubes in his drink and other stuff. Besides, he's a woman basher... :mad: Harry MacDougall (Outlaw Star)-- He's wacko, enough said... Besides, if he were in love with someone he would try to be around that person ALL the time! (Melfina, for example.) :D[/COLOR]

I would say that the anime that has affected my life the most is Cowboy Bebop. Before I saw the show, I wasn't very fond of any other kind of music such as jazz. I only listened to rock and rap music. Through the cool sounds and tunes of the series I have come to appreciate different types of music. (I'm a jazz maven now. ^_^)

Man, a couple of nights ago I had a dream that Trowa (from Gundam Wing) and I were checking on the rest of the Gundam pilots as they were sleeping... At first, he didn't want to but I said something like "Some may be sleep, some may be awake, and some may be holding little Trowa plushies..." 0_o The weirdest thing was, when we went to check up on Duo, he was asleep and holding a little Trowa plushie! That dream weirded me out... (NOTE: Weirded is not even a real word...)

If I were to say who I identify with the character would be Trowa from Gundam Wing. We are both quiet and we both care about others (i.e. friends) even though we might not show our compassion. I also identify with Harry MacDougall from Outlaw Star but hey, let's not go there... :D

[COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Anime is pretty big where I live. (Somewhere in north Florida) We have 3 colleges (2 universities and 1 community college) and they all have anime clubs. (some are underground though...) At my high school we have an anime club and there is a city-wide anime club (for everyone. I don't know much about it.) Alot of people in my town who are into art are into anime also. (And that's a lot of people...) Best of all there have a comic book shop that sells anime/manga exclusively. Eh, but most in my town get anime/manga from Suncoast Picture Co. in the mall...[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Momiji']Don't worry about your sailor moon dream. Mine have been worse than that, I was Kikyo from Inuyasha and I was actually having a cat fight with Kagome over him. Now that is wacked because I think Kikyo should not even be left alive in Inuyasha. :flaming: . But it was just a dream :sleep: . So you were sailor Earth did you have short or long hair?[/quote]I had short pink hair... My outfit kind of resembled Sailor Moon's outfit. The only difference is that I had these chunky black combat boots on. :confused:

[quote name='G.D. Ryoko']I hate Heero with Relena too. She is a real pain in the butt. I never seen anyone bug a boy like she does except for one of my friends who loves Relena and Heero together. Hmm...[/quote]I totally agree with you. I absolutely HATE the RelenaxHeero coupling! Really, I just don't like Relena because she's always bugging the heck out of Heero. It burns me up just to see her hanging on to him like she's his Siamese twin... :mad: :flaming:

My favorite anime movie is Spirited Away, hands down. I love how the movie is very inventive and the animation is excellent! I really loved the characters too. (Haku is my personal favorite) Princess Mononoke is a close second.

I was just wondering do you have dreams when you go to sleep about anime? If you do, what are they about? I think if you really like a show or a certain anime character you are bound to dream about them once in a while. Now I can't ask you guys to tell me about your anime dreams without telling you about some of my own. The most memorable one for me was the one where I was an Avon lady :confused: delivering Christmas presents to Wufei. (from Gundam Wing) If you don't think that's weird enough, last night I had a dream where I was one of the Sailor Scouts... :confused: I was Sailor Earth, I think... The bad thing is, I don't even like Sailor Moon...That much... ;) "In the name of the Earth, I will punish you!" Crazy, huh?

I really love Yu Yu Hakusho because it is a very original show in my opinion. The characters are wonderful (especially Kurama! :love: ) and I SOMEWHAT like the plotline. Around the Spirit tournament thingy (I forgot the name of it) the show got a little stale...

[COLOR=DarkRed]Um, here's my list of crappy games... SNES- Really, I don't have any. I really didn't play that many games on it. Genesis- Sonic Pinball. Even though I didn't have the game ON the Genisis (I played in on the Gamecube) I still think that it's crappy. The levels were boring and the storyline was just plain pointless... N64- Once again, I didn't play that many games on it so I don't have any crappy games for it. Gamecube- Luigi's Mansion, Luigi's mansion, and did I mention Luigi's mansion? Oh man, that game was crappy. Horrible music, cheesy storyline, this game had all the elements of a crappy game.[/color]

I'm a girl gamer too. I don't know why some (not all) guys think that girls can't play video games. I mean, we excel in a lot of other things, why not gaming? I think that some people think that all girls are good for is cooking and keeping house. Darn sexist world... :flaming:

[QUOTE=noelmvilla]My least fave character? .......hmm.... Oh yeah.. NABIKI TENDO (Ranma 1/2)!!!! :mad: I the episode where ranma and the gang went on a vacation and they all ate poison mushrooms then ranma and akane ate the love mushroom and fell DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!! But the part which really ticked me off was the part where NABIKI........... told them that they were bound by the love mushroom so they decided to eat the cure, and now they're NOT in love, they're NOT getting married, NOT having a perfect life with each other and it's ALL - NABIKI'S - FAULT!!! So now am really angry.... and.......... have a nice day. :) :) :) :) :)[/QUOTE]Um, Nabiki's cool in my opinion... But yes, Nabiki WAS annoying when she told them that they wouldn't have a perfect life with each other...

[QUOTE=Mage15]Well the major worst anime I think I've seen in my years would have to be Reign. BAsically the story about Alexander the Great being a conquorer and such....the animation is okay and all but I'm not too fond on the storyline. I seriously doubt that everything in there is not historial fact, and one major thing really makes the anime awful.......they all wear cod-peices (EEEWWW) ~Laters[/QUOTE]I agree that Reign sucks... However, I disagree with some of you about Trigun being a bad anime. I actually liked the show and am planning to get all of the DVD's. Yet, I DO agree with you that Trigun DID get a bit boring after a couple of episodes but I still like it. Of course, like I have said before, everyone has their own opinion...

The anime character that I dislike the most would have to be Shampoo from Ranma 1/2. First of all I hate the way she acts, almost smothering Ranma with endearments and hugs--it's pretty annoying. And her voice, let's not even go there... :flaming:

Spirited Away was amazing.... I enjoyed it very much! The storyline was amazing, I have never seen a movie that pulled me in as much as Spirited Away did! I have seen other Studio Ghibli movies such as Princess Mononoke and Kiki's Delivery Service but none of those compare to the beauty and elegance of Spirited Away. If you haven't seen this movie I reccomend it to you! Go see it now! :wigout:

I love Ranma 1/2! I haven't seen the first episode or anything but I have seen 12 of the episodes. (even though it did take about 3 ep. for me to understand what was going on.) My favorite character is Mousse because well um... I really don't know why I like him so much. I really enjoy the show and hope to see more of it soon. :D

I started watching anime when I was um... 8 years old. I watched Speed Racer on Cartoon Network. (Those were the days...) Um, but I DID watch SatAM when I was about 5 or so... (Which is the old Sonic series for you non-Sonic obsessers) I don't know if that's anime or not... *wonders* :confused:

[QUOTE=Alias Jones]I believe [B]Fooly Cooly [/B] (spelling?) was a dead anime. I was told by a friend to give it a try but after three episodes on Adult Swim, i couldn't watch it anymore.It was pointless...and it always ended with the hand holding the iron.If someone wants to explain the plot... [B]Pokemon[/B] has lost it's appeal. My sister and I used to record the episodes every afternoon. Once the Joto league started I was bored. Now my brother and sister have also given up on it. [B]DBZ[/B] is my cousins favorite anime ever so i tried to watch it before we got togther. I couldn't grasp it. There were Dragon Balls and people kept dying then just apperared again. The other Gundam series (beside GW...I love GW!) just seem pointless to me. :)[/QUOTE]Yes, FLCL was very hard to understand. (I just watched it to pass the time) I didn't understand the plot either. Even though some guys are not fans of the show it is VERY popular. Why? I have no idea... I watched Pokemon for about... 5 episodes then I got tired of it. I never was into DBZ. In my opinion, another bad anime is Digimon. I watched it for five minutes and I was already sick of it... Of course, this is just my opinion on the matter...
