Yusuke: Oh man, I think I've got a zit. Is this a zit, Kurama? Kurama: Nobody cares about your acne, Yusuke. I need to make sure my hair looks good for the fangirls awaiting us. Kuwabara: FANGIRLS?! You said we were going to demon world to stop a plot for world domination! Yusuke: Don't worry, Kuwabara. You're just here for the comedy portion of our show. I mean, did you really think that [I]YOU[/I] would have any fangirls? ::Yusuke and Kurama enter fits of laughter::

I can feel the hate mail coming already but... Gundam, Neon Genasis Evangelion, and just about any other mech anime. I tried Gundam SEED, but 1. They give you rediculous amounts of detail about the mechs, most of which the smartest of people don't quite fully grasp. Now I understnd when someone shout "My whatever just broke!", it's a bad thing, but unless you know the blueprints for the thing, inside and out, you just can't fully grasp the danger of the situation. 2. I would prefer to see people fight with swords or bare hands rather than a giant robot. Just my personal preferance. 3. They are set in times of war and/or post apocalyptic environments, which can make the series completely serious or depressing. I like serious animes, but not ones that are serious throughout the entire series. I need a show to have at leasta little humor. 4. For the most part, I just don't like mechs. Again, personal preference. There are some mech animes I enjoyed (Full Metal Panic, Zoids, the few episodes of Big O I've seen), but that was because they didn't have the problems mentioned above (at least not all the time). OH NO! IV'E SPENT TOO MUCH TIME HERE! *runs from the mobs of gundam fans who are chasing her in their mechs*

Ichigo: Now will you stop sneaking into my sister's bedroom before she gets changed? Or do I need to tape you to my ceiling fan? That's all I've got...

Wow...Santa's pretty hot for a guy...

I would have to say one of the most memorable moments for me was on Cowboy Bebop when [spoiler]Julia was killed, and Spike died.[/spoiler] This was one of my first anime obsessions, and I knew that they would not just be brought back like on Dragonball Z. I just remember thinking, "Wow. A television show, and a cartoon none the less, actually moved me to the point of tears." And thus, my love for anime grew even more. Ah, the memories... *becomes lost in memories* ...And see? I was able to find a profoundly-moving death scene without the need to mention a certain Brigadier General! Whew, it was much harder to hold back using that than I thought. Not that I have anything against people using that as an example. I just like to be original, and not give what I know will quickly become a generic "OMG! FMA EPISODE 25! I CRIED SO MUCH!!!!!!!!" response. :animeswea

DBZ. I had originally started watching it during the Cell saga. The next thing I knew, it was one of my first anime obsessions. (besides Sailor Moon, of course...) And, as much as I hate to admit it now, Pokemon. I got a tape showing a preview of it before it came on TV, and I was in love the moment I saw it. Cowboy Bebop did that, too. But then again, the first episode I saw was the last one. :animeswea But I still ended up loving it.

Maybe if I grow a big enough beard, you won't notice it...

They do that because they want to have characters that are pleasing to the eye and, unfortunately, those just happen to be the first two things viewers notice when they see a female character. Of course, in some cases, it is to fit a character's personality like Par-Fait said (usually the personality of the sexy flirt), but the rest of the time it is to portray what they see as "beauty", or for fanservice. People tend to think that a show needs to have drop-dead gorgeous (sp?) characters in order to be noticed. Of course, this doesn't mean there aren't "regular" girls in anime. Take for example Samurai Champloo's Fuu and Naruto's Sakura. While neither exactly have the body of a goddess (in other words, as Fuu would put it, a big set of hooters), they are still visually pleasing, and many people still think they are cute. However, there are still those who say that big chest=major babe, making it difficult for flat-chested characters to be seen often, much to the annoyance of female anime lovers. :animeangr

Definitely Haku and Zabuza from Naruto. Their whole lives, they were exiled and hated by their village. But they didn't care, so long as they had each other. I'm *sniff* sorry... I thought I could *sniff* talk about it. Forgive me... WHY!?! *cries* :animecry: If you don't know why I'm crying, you don't deserve to know...

Kakashi ran out of Come Come Paradise. After learning that the next volume would not be out for another two months, Kakashi decided to channel his perverted thought into something else: a genjutsu. Unfortunately for Sasuke and Naruto, they were his ginuea pigs. Sasuke and Naruto were never the same, and Sakura must now must struggle within herself to prevent her from killing the same sensei she had just put in the hospital. I need practice... :animesigh

Kurama: Come on Hiei, it's time to eat... Hiei: NO! LET ME GO! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR ME TOGET TO LEVEL 50 ON TETRIS!?! I MUST KEEP PLAYING! I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU BOTH!! Yusuke: Geez, Hiei. Tetris? You seriously need to update your video game collection.

I actually liked all of the FMA voice actors. Sure, Al's voice was a little immiture, but then again, it sort of fit his personality, or at least I think so. As for Yami Yugi, well he's a 5000-year-old pharaoh, right? He should sound fairly old, or at the least, more mature than Yugi. And don't get me started about Naruto... I have many scars with American Naruto... I don't wanna talk about it... S-s-sorry... :animedepr ::rocks back and forth::

Alucard from Hellsing would be my choice. Why, you ask? 1. He could enter somebody's dream and tell them where we are so we would be saved. 2. He could turn into a bunch of bats, fly off the island, and get someone to save me. 3. Should he somehow be unable to do the above, he could turn me into a vampire before I die a slow and greuling death of starvation, mental insanity, or suicide (whichever comes first). 4. With all his amazing vampiric abilities and strength, I'm sure he'd find a way for us to survive. 5. He's Alucard. He's a vampire. Do I need any other reason?

I saw the first episode, too. And I must say... it... is... AMAZING! The ghouls are scarier, everything's darker, and it just all around rocks! And I must say, although I've had my doubts before, I am now 100% positive that all of the Hellsing characters are pimps! (long story, which involve Alucard as a stoner, many pimp slaps, and Andersong the Holy Pimp of Iscariot. Don't ask... :animeswea) My fangirlish rantings aside, if you were disappointed by the original Hellsing, you won't be this time around. More news! The second episode is thus far sceduled to come out September, and the American dub of the first episode is scheduled for October. Lots of waiting for us Hellsing lovers. :animecry:

I suppose I will follow fangirl suit and say Sesshomaru, but I don't really consider him a "bad guy". It's not as though he always looks to fight Inuyasha. Many times it was Inuyasha who threw the first attack. Also, it's not necessarally his fault he supposedly hates humans. He came from two demon parent who, as far as we know, both hated humans when he was a child. So being taught that humans are worthless from both his parents (or from his mother at least), as well as other demons must have had some affect on his opinions of them. So in a way, he doesn't hate them because he wants to. That's just how it's always been, and he had no reason to change this. That is, until he met Rin. Of course, this could just be me overanalyzing things... :animeswea
