Favourite animated series

[Ann]

I'm a huge fan of Anime. But a lot of animated childhood shows keep being mentioned on Twitter this week.

What are yours?

[Kamil]

For me it would be 'yattaman', 'dash kappei' 'dragon quest, dragon no daibooken' 'trygun' 'goldenboy' and 'slam dunk'

[Nicole]

Okay, back in the day I was in love with InuYasha. It was actually the first anime I was introduced to...unless you count Pokemon. Then I got into YuYuHakashu (or whatever it's called) and a little bit of trigun and Vampire Knight. Then of course Naruto <3 (yes yes I know Bisky :p)

[J. David]

I have to go old school (because I'm old) and say Macross, or in the Americanized version, Robotech. Love that series. Watching as a kid was my very first experience with a show I watched actually having the death of a main character. I cried and cried, but it stuck with me how cool it was that for once a show did not talk down to me like I would not understand a serious subject.

[Claire]

I'll admit I haven't watched very much anime, but I really enjoyed Aang, The Last Airbender.

[Brian]

I used to be a big fan of anime. My favorite series is Escaflowne. They made a movie that basically recapped the series, but it is missing a lot of the charm and tension from the series. There are tons of other series that I have enjoyed. Bleach, Noir, FLCL, Ping Pong Club, etc.. Just to name a few that haven't been mentioned yet.

I really loved the xmen animated series in the 90s. Not to metnion I was a huge fan of sailor moon. Though when I got older and watched it in Japanese I felt very angry that they turned the lesbian couple into 'cousins' as J said, I like it when animations talk about serious subjects.

[Vanessa Eden]

I love Roccos modern life and futurama.

[Kevin]

It's been years since I watched anime, but I liked Full Metal Panic, S-cry-ed, Trigun, Bleach, Samurai Champloo, Deathnote, Rahxephon, Utawarerumono, even Hunter x Hunter and DBZ back in the day. Now I just watch Futurama and Family Guy. Guess I've traded plot for comedy. *sigh*

[G.G.]

Gosh, I think the last anime I watched was when my son was a kid, Thundercats! I kind of liked them though. :p

[Ann]

I'm slightly tempted to see what all the fuss with this Brian thing in Family guy is about.

[Nicole]

It's a huge deal, Bisky :<

[Kevin]

@Bisky and @Nicole, if I thought this Brian thing was permanent, it would be a big deal. For now, I'll just roll with it.

[Nicole]

@Kevin Is there anywhere that proves its not permanent? (view spoiler)[I tried looking and couldn't find any spoilers or anything :( But that would be such a relief. I honestly thought it was one of the stupidest things the show could have done, to just kill off a main character literally out of nowhere and without warning. I'm sure they lost a lot of fan base from that. I think in order for them to recover at all they would 1) have to bring Brian back, 2) make it awfully epic haha, and 3) explain somehow through the characters what the heck they were thinking killing off such a vital character to the show. I wonder if they thought about how much this was going to confuse their audience haha For now I've been getting my kicks from South Park.

[Edit] The only thing I could think of for their motive is that maybe they thought it would generate a lot of talk (which it certainly did), but at the same time did they think the risk would be worth the reward? Who knows xp (hide spoiler)]

[Kevin]

@Nicole, I don't think they'd... (view spoiler)[permanently kill him. They wanted to shake things up, sure. Remember when Stewie sort of killed Lois? Or the who-done-it episode with James Woods that changed things, but at the same time didn't change anything at all? Well mission accomplished. Things have been shaken up.

As for evidence supporting his eventual return, I recommend Wikipedia's "Family Guy (season 12)" page. The "Christmas Guy" episode and several other upcoming episode 'titles' show promise. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole]

Oh yeah, those were good episodes. I hope you're right :) (view spoiler)[I just don't know how they'll do it since they left him brutally battered lol I check those out. (hide spoiler)]Thanks :)

[Ann]

... spoilers ;-;

[Kevin]

A spoiler?! Where?! Let's kill it! ...oh, right. My bad. If you haven't seen all of Family Guy, ignore messages 15 and 16.

[G.G.]

@Kevin and Nicole You can go back and edit your message. Start by typing < spoiler > (without space) and at the end of what needs to be hidden, type (again without spaces < /spoiler >

That might help those who haven't read the post yet and don't want to know what will happen. :)

[Kevin]

Ah, cool. Thanks, @G.G.!

[G.G.]

No problem. And thanks for doing it. That was quick!

[Nicole]

What spoilers? << >>

:p Thanks GG that was helpful :) I had no idea that was even a thing. Very cool ^^ @Bisky sowwy :<

@Kevin Did you see the latest episode? (view spoiler)[ It was a christmas miracle! :D You were right ;p (hide spoiler)]

[G.G.]

@Nicole No problem. I'm glad I could help. :)

[Ann]

I rarely watch TV, so I don't see commercials, the only reason I know about it is because someone mentioned it on Twitter xP

[Ann]

Never mind. Someone on my facebook just posted a clip of the newest episode with a detailed caption.

FFS lol

[Nicole]

Lol aww poor Bisky, just can't win the spoilers war :<

[Ann]

Not with such a popular series anyway :p

[Kevin]

@Nicole, yes, I did see the latest episode. (view spoiler)[Pretty sure this isn't a spoiler (Or is it? Dun, dun, dun!), but YES!!! Never been so glad to be right. (hide spoiler)]

[Jan]

[Ann]
