Omar Harris Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 What anime do you think is the most pointless? And do you think that violence, nudity, etc. in extra amounts is used only for shock value (The oh-wow I didn't know you could do that in a cartoon)? Why?

Manic Webb Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Dirty Pair Flash is really goofy, but it sorta makes me sit there like "Um... ok..." The plots get easily side-tracked by T&A and goofy montages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]I think that DBZ is completely pointless. I mean sure, there WAS a plot somewhere at the beginning of the series, but then it got sort of lost in all the pointless, stupid, fighting that just goes NO WHERE with the stupid predictable storyline with alot of bean eating idiots who can come back from the dead. I'd say that series was pretty darn pointless, don't you?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Asuka Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]See, even the member who is a DBZ fan with a DBZ user name agrees with me. DBZ was ruined because it was redundant. Of course, I will still be a fan of Trunks, but ONLY because he was a cutie. But yes, VERY pointless stuff, DBZ is...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Asuka Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Now, I'm not going to lie, I used to watch it when it first started airing on Toonami back in good ol 99 or something, but that was before it got overly popular and overly stupid. It's just too much of the same stuff over and over again and I just wish they would have had more of a story to develop and everything. I mean, the actual story that they did have wasn't really all that bad it was just annoying that five minutes of fighting took up three weeks worth of episodes. THAT just SUCKED...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Vegeta Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Ah! I saw it back when WB had it. About a year after CN got it, I had bought all the subs. *shrugs* Last dubbed episode I saw was somewhere in the Trunks saga. I'll stop turning this into a dbz thread now. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]I think the point was made that it was sort of pointless. Another series that seemed sort of pointless to me was Pokemon. I mean sure, Ash Ketchum did have a GOAL that was SORT of reasonable, but it just kept going and going and after the second season I just sort of lost track of what was going on because it was just the same stuff over and over again. I guess that's my biggest gripe sometimes....redundant anime. Now EVA, now THAT series was very unique with lots of plot twists and everything. You never knew what to expect on there. But of course, there is a whole other thread dedicated to plot twists.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Vegeta Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Yes, what I have seen/read of Eva is just utterly amazing. It blows DBZ, and most other animes out of the water. As for Pokemon, I never really got into it, because well, I was simply to busy being into DBZ. Eh...*shrugs*....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted July 14, 2002 Author Share Posted July 14, 2002 Something I thought was pointless was all the jiggling *ahem*s in Voltage Fighter Gowkaizer. Sheesh, I like hot women (real not animated) and I know sex sells but that's overdoing it. And I hate action series like that were everyone has a perfectly good-looking body. Come on, there aren't that many "well-endowed" women, and not all of them are going to be teaming up as superheroes to save the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]That's the thing with anime; they make all the chics really hot with alot of sex appeal so guys like you who like hot women in real life will watch their series. ;) Not to mention they're probably pervs themselves....[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Well I've seen many pointless animes such as DBZ, DBGT, but some for there shock value would be Golden Boy, Agent Aika, and even DNA ^2 sometimes goes a little to far with the shock value just look at the main plot behind it. Most of those animes really are border line to the hentai side but are not classified as them. Also to add to this list would be hentai's in general they are rather pointless for obvious reason. But I should stop ranting! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]See, they can put lots of things like nudity, violence, sex, drugs, etc into anime nowadays because it's become so accepted into society now. That saddens me, but what can I say? You just have to stick by your morals and what you believe and just have a harder time figuring out what's right and what's wrong. I hate to see what's going to be around in my children's generation. And it's not just anime. It's all forms of entertainment, really...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Excel Saga is the most pointless peice of crap ever made!!!! I saw it on the AVD Trailor dvd that i picked up at AX they had the first episode on it.. it is pointless and annoying.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def_Kun Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Excel Saga is the best piece of crap that I've seen (sub). Being pointless and annoying was the best part of the series. I love their spoof of Rambo and Star Wars. Heard they killed Excel's voice when it was dubbed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBZ is a pointless, brainless, and plot-less fad, in my opinion. All it really does is drag five minute battles on and on for weeks! It is terriblly dubbed and the storyline definitly draws a blank. The "villians" are as stupid as they come, and they're all the same! It's very annoying to sit there and watch the show do the same thing over and over again. Therefore, due to the conformity of DBZ, I have to say that Dragon Ball Z is the most [i]pointless[/i] anime ever. No. Hands. Down.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Maximas13 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 will, i agree and disagree.yes DBZ is hard to follow but for a true fan it's not. you have to really watch the show to get evrything, and majin buu(the final form) isn't stupied he's quiet maniakle.so if your not really into watching carefully you won't get everything, and yes the plot has lost something i'll give you that.

Omar Harris Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 I hated the Cell Saga. The Frieza series was so good that Toriyama probably ran out of ideas. But anyways before this turns into an "I hate DBZ" thread, I could not stand a minute of Pilot Candidates. The show is just so boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 You want to see Shock Value? Get Burn Up W/Excess. Those series feature more fan-service than many others combine. Also, La Blue Girl may shock a lot of viewers. I wonder why...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
