I have posted this before and I received so many quotes that I decided to make my own thread. And just so everyone is clear, I don't base my likes and dislikes on something as simple as "I think it?s really cool!" I critique anime just like a film critic would for a live action movie. Please give me your thoughts.
I've been reading all the people's "Favorite Anime" and I just have to say a few comments. Many of you say you are anime fans but, in fact, are nothing of the sort. I'm tired of all the people who say their favs are Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho and Rumiko Takahashi's Inuyasha. These shows are distinctively sorry excuses for anime. The makers of these anime are just in it for the money, and completely disregard good film techniques. For Kenshin, it's the lack of a strong plot that follows the shows entity (a bunch of mini plots). It is the exact opposite for Inuyasha. The plot never seems resolve. Thirdly, Yu Yu Hakusho has horrible voice actors. And to top it off, they all have an overly excessive episode list. People go straight to Adult Swim and see that an anime is playing and deem it an astounding anime. If you truly want to be an anime fan, then go out and find good anime for yourself. Don't have other people do it for you.
