The only time I feel the full range of human emotion is when I'm watching anime. When I'm out in public, I don't feel anything.

That was a fucked up movie, you should watch paprika if you liked Blue. Same studio, and paprika is a trip for sure.What are your favorite ones? I think the last one I watched was Perfect Blue.
I've seen many even the black and white onesYou need to see more movies then
I grew up with Mobile Suit Gundam WingThat was a fucked up movie, you should watch paprika if you liked Blue. Same studio, and paprika is a trip for sure.
Agree about the voice acting, I can't stand dubs.
Re: the OP I like anime a whole lot, but I also like film. Not many modern films, but i love Kubrick, Coppola, etc. and there are a lot of good anime films.
My favorite animes are all from the era of hand drawn and water colored cels. I was getting into collecting cel art for a while... my favorite anime will always be the original mobile suit gundam, and zeta gundam the sequel. I don't like what they've done with the franchise in the past 20 years but back then sunrise was making so many good mecha anime, everything from robotech to gundam, to the cool starship troopers ova they made that was a lot closer tot he source material than the Verhooven film of the same name...
It's too bad Weepy Blinders incorporates modern pop songs ruining the authentic feel and throwing in contemporary woke shit like Tommy caring about racism. Laughable lolYou need to see more movies then
x2... I love the orginial classics of GhibliMy favorite animes are all from the era of hand drawn and water colored cels.
for many Americans this was their first introduction to the series, but in many ways represents what I don't like about where the franchise went after the latter half of the 90s, when the original creator was ousted in favor of people who became more obsessed with toy sales than with quality story telling...I grew up with Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
I think it depends a lot also on the culture... I identify much more with the Asian culture, much of my life is based on that kind of thing (Kaizen, the 7 virtues of bushido, kendo... etc)... but until now I have never seen an anime like Forrest Gump, for example... it depends on the culture I think.What are your favorite ones? I think the last one I watched was Perfect Blue.
Perhaps it's because emotion can be meticulously tweaked through drawing/animation, whereas humans will be always be limited to a degree in their acting abilities.
It helps to have good voice actors.
do you know/like Kurosawa films?but until now I have never seen an anime like Forrest Gump, for example... it depends on the culture I think.
Don't forget Paranoia Agent and Millennium ActressThat was a fucked up movie, you should watch paprika if you liked Blue. Same studio, and paprika is a trip for sure.
If you haven't seen 24, you haven't seen the best series ever. Literally you will binge these for 24 straight episodes.
Well, that is season 2. I think it's better than season 1, but then end of season 1 is brutal. You'll understand why Jack looks and acts the way he does at the start of season 2.Is he asleep for 8 episodes? Lol
Totally agree. I watched a lot of anime a while ago, now I don't seem to care at all.I'm kind of the opposite. Anime especially these days always feels like it's just trying too hard which means all of its flaws end up just being super amplified in my eyes. It also doesn't help that if you're someone who watches subs, then at some point it gets really tiring hearing the same few voices all give the same performances over and over with some very rare exceptions.
Most modern anime also tend to prioritize style over substance which makes a lot of them look pretty but ultimately flat and lifeless. This is why I prefer western cartoons because at least when they're uglier they're not trying to be beautiful art and it's easier to focus on what they're about rather than cultural propaganda to go join the military like so many shonen anime apparently are.
Maybe it's because anime has already lifted itself up to a higher standard that I've become more critical of it lately. I'm waiting for some new anime to completely blow me away but nothing I've seen that's come out in the last couple years has even come close except for maybe High Score Girl but that's just because it does a lot of things differently than other anime of its kind would. Maybe I just want something that hyper caters to all of my specific interests but it would be really tough to actually make something like that right now.
Mostly immature and geared towards teenagers is what I said, not all. Though I think my problem was coming from a book reader perspective. The cognitive load is always going to be much lower in figurative media, and that includes manga or TV series. TV series are quite stupid most of the time lol.The only thing I have watched for the last few years has been anime. I've only ever liked a handful of western TV shows, all the ones I liked either ended years ago, got cancelled, or turned to shit. I feel a lot of TV shows want to go on forever and inevitably lose sight of what made them good in the first place. I did like movies more than TV shows as they would usually be more creative with sci fi or fantasy concepts which TV shows don't usually have the budget for. In general, live action doesn't interest me as much, it's easier to achieve escapism with animation, and bad acting is less evident. I dislike western cartoons, though.
Anime like movies or TV shows is a medium, not a genre itself so it can't be said that it's all immature or targeted toward teenagers. Many of the popular genres and shows are but not all of them.
Most works in any medium are not going to be all that great, it's no different to anything else in that respect. Sturgeon's Law. I tend to read manga nowadays because I find it easier for my attention span than watching things.
