Cowboy Bebop is quite good. Here are some others that I consider good.

FLCL
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Akira (The manga is amazing)
Trigun
Berserk (Definately not for kids though)
Space Pirate Captain Herlock (I know, cheezy name, but it is a great series)
Gundam Wing

With the exception of Assin823, I still haven't seen anyone give a reasonable explanation for why they dislike anime.

Anime is definately an odd, acquired taste. Also, there is a lot of bad anime out there. However, not all anime is created equal, and there do exist some very good anime series and movies. What aspects of anime do you dislike lellowranger? I myself am a pretty serious anime and manga fan, and won't threaten to destroy you, in Halo 2 or otherwise.



mmmmkay, I think Sardonic13 said it best.

It's an acquired taste. Some people love it to death and can't get enough of it, other people hate it and don't understand why people like it so much.

...I'd say that I definitely fall into the latter group. I don't like anime, and I really don't understand what people think is so great about it.

If you like anime, you should play Besm. It's an anime variant of D&D and is actually quite fun. The best part is that you can even convert regular D&D characters into Besm characters.

Well burn on the anime haters biotch! lol

I was gonna arguee that this thread is stupid because it is very unlikely any opions would be changed regardless of well supported opinions. But now this thread seems to actually have a decent use.

Why does everyone like Cowboy Bebop so much? I havent seen it but I wasnt very impressed with the name or box cover.

lol I know im being totally ignorant for judging a book by its cover but there is not much else you can judge a series on without watching it or hearing about it.

The name Cowboy Bebop is derived from two of the main aspects of the show. Cowboy, which name synonymous with bounty hunter, because the main characters of the show are are a handful of bounty hunters. Bebop comes from two places. First, the series is highly influenced by music, from the episode titles, which always feature music genres or song titles, to the soundtrack for the show, which is a good mix of blues, jazz, rock, pop, etc. Secondly, the name of the ship that the bounty hunters travel around in is the "Bebop".

If you are an anime fan, I recommend you try to catch a few episodes. It is on cartoon network saturdays at 1AM eastern standard time. It is a very good and highly acclaimed series. At least try tuning in two weeks from yesterday night (Oct 9 I think) because the fifth episode "Ballad of Fallen Angels" will be on. If you watch that episode and aren't eager to see more, then don't bother.

Thanks for mentioning that one. I knew I forgot one. Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X is great stuff.

There are no irrelevant quotes of historical figures here. Neither will you find any links, chain posts, memes, clan advertisements, self-promotions, or the tiniest of ASCII pictures.

So go away.

Well, at least you're open to new ideas and willing to compromise...oh wait...

Anime has to be one of the most stereotyped and over simplified media forms out there. It is insanely diverse - there is no common thread between most good ones, beyond the animation stye. It is incredible how detrimental to it's image crap like Sailor Moon has been. If you think you even know what anime is from what's on tv, then you are sorely mistaken, and should keep your mouth shut about things you don't truly understand.

That said, I don't particularly care for most anime. I only like it in small to medium doses. It's just too abstract for me a lot of the time.

For those who dislike Anime, there are a few shows you should watch before bagging it all...

Full Metal Alchemist (still being released and still absolutely champion)
Naruto (one of the few long series I actually like, and I like it to the extreme)
s.CRY.ed (a bit less mainstream and hard to understand occaisionally but still rocking)
Akira
Spirited Away
X-tv (That just absolutely rocked)

I would disagree though that Berserk was one of the best... If you took out the first and last episode, maybe.. but that just totally weirded the storyline.

And if you like love stories... Ai Yori Aoshi, Chobits or Onegai Teacher are for you...
