I have liked anime ever since I was a little boy. So far, my favorite is Naruto (watched from sixth to eighth grade and then read manga). Since I started high school, however, I've really only been reading the manga. I like Bleach, DBZ, Naruto, Yuyu Hakusho, Ruroni Kenshin, Inuyasha, MAR, Detective Conan, and a few others. I don't know if Avatar: the Last Airbender counts, but it is definitely my favorite anime (Naruto is my favorite manga/anime). I might make posts about these from time to time. So I just felt that I should get the fact out there.
DBZ may be an exception to the rule, but manga seems to be much more intelligent than any of the American cartoons that I see around nowadays. It's even a bit more intelligent than some of the old cartoons that used to air on television. Don't even get me started on how far the cartoon industry in America has fallen.
I love love love Bleach! And YuYu Hakasho is wonderful as well. I enjoy Naruto better in manga than in anime. But i like Inuyasha better as an anime. Im a huge fan of Old Boy, the japanese version, not the korean one. Ooku, is wonderful too. It's plot is much different than any other plot i've seen in manga.
ReplyDeleteI agree about most of the cartoons that air here, they are weak and flabby. Do you enjoy the movies of Studio Ghibli? I love their stuff.
Hayao Miyazaki is my favorite. Go Totoro and Nausicaa and Howl's and Spirited Away and Castle and Mononoke!!!!!
