When it comes to Anime, the only type I'm willing to watch is old school anime, I feel like the hand drawn characters' movements are more alive, and the watercolor backgrounds are beautiful. The only exceptions to this is Avatar: TLA, and Attack on Titan.

Besides the shows I mentioned, I watch Macross, Ghost in the Shell, and Akira. My favorite is in between GTS, an Akira, both of their soundtracks are awesome, as well as their setting, and art

Um... Avatar is not an anime. It just looks like one.
 
So has anyone else been watching the Netflix CGI Godzilla movies that only got attention because they're being written by Gen Urobuchi? Am I the only one who thought part two was pretty dull and had even less of Godzilla than part one?

That's generally good news but I'm not sure I'm going to re-buy what they already released just for the non-flipped art though I'm a little afraid if I don't double-dip then Viz won't release the rest of it beyond the point when they stopped publishing it in... when was it... 1999?

Maybe Viz will eventually release the rest of the Patlabor manga too (though I do have some of it beyond where they stopped in French)?

It wasn't made in Japan, it was made in America and animated in Korea. That's why I don't call it anime.

Go back to Plebbit with you.

It's tone, art style, storytelling over a massive arc are all hallmarks of Anime as we know it. Never mind it stealing the shit out of various eastern cultures and religious tones that are usually shotgunned through every anime imaginable.

It's a bit like going "Oh, well, Porter Robinson's Shelter doesn't count because a baka gajin paid for it."

It knew what its target audience was and aimed at it like a laser pointer.

It's still an American cartoon that was done in an animesque style.

If this were Japan, where every cartoon, no matter what nation, is called anime, that'd be fine. But in the West our definition of the term isn't that expansive. That's why I say it's not an anime.

I like that someone in the Twitter feed posted a picture of their collection back when they printed out manga as comic books. The cover art is fucking gorgeous, but it hit me in the feels because it reminded me of the first Pokémon Adventures volumes issues and I had just completely forgotten that that's what Viz actually did back in the day.

So guess this is about time that I start getting into Urusei Yatsura. Kinda wanted to finish Ranma 1/2 first before I did, but lol who knows when I'll finish it since I more-or-less only want to watch it when I get the DVDs, and it's been slow collecting them.
 
They should dub all the episodes of Urusei Yatsura. There's like only a few episodes dubbed. Even the British didn't dub them all:


The only completed English dubs were done in Animax Asia, which were probably done by Hong Kongers or Singaporeans:
