Mahoromatic Maiden (Its only purpose is to show girls in the nude)
Natjica Blitz (You get a pair of panties with the box set. Heard enough?)
DanekJovax wrote:Well, Hmm... here's a couple titles that at the surface don't evoke a sense of "I Have to Avoid This," so here's a couple to be VERY WARY at:
1) Ebichu (strong sexual content)
2) Gravitation (strong/near graphical homosexual themes)
3) Knights of Ramune (strong undertones of lesbianism and sexual themes depicted and some nudity)
4) Any title with a type of Fruit Listed in it, ANY title with a form of the word "Sex", and ANYTHING with the word "Cream" in it. (exception is Fruits Basket - it's not depicting a specific fruit).
That's my 3 yen. Enjoy!

Then I saw End of Evangelion. I couldn't watch it all at once, it honestly made me sick. However, I'm one that I won't judge a series or movie until I'd seen it all the way through (porn excluded, mind you) So I sat through 10 to 15 minute chunks until I finished it... After finishing it, it left me depressed and sick for days. I could not get it out of my mind. It was the sickest, most twisted thing I'd ever seen. (and I'd seen episode 26 of excel, puni puni poemi, goldenboy, sakura diaries, and some other bad anime, so that's saying a lot... of course those were just dirty...)
So, yeah, I'd say don't watch it even for review purposes. If you're young and don't get the stuff that's going on, you may not understand my hatred for this, but please don't test it... It could leave you permanently scarred...
DanekJovax wrote:Well, in my humble opinion:
1) Eva was wierd - the gross scenes were about as realistically depicted as you could expect. Realism points there, but insofar as being pro-Christian in values, nada.
2) Ninja Scroll - Lots of nice animation, colors, and intriguing storyline. Lots of blood, violence, and sex. Did I say sex? Jst in case you didn't get that right, I'll say it again... SEX! Very mature themes here, and though the story had a sexual theme in it, I still don't think it was overly gratuitous. Nothing I'd do in RL, mind you, but I'm mature enough to stomach it... never let my kids see it until they're at least 30, though, heh.
3) Kikaider - Hey, it's a pseudo Leiji Matsumoto piece. That says enough for me to want to like it. :2)
4) Cute anime - never enough of it. 'Nuff said.
5) Lain - Wierd. Wacked out. The Matrix on acid, with a little fruit loops and poutine on the side.
My real point... it's all about your personal taste, tolerance, and above all, your values.
I'll judge anime as 'bad' more on technical merits than just subjective assessments on the anime itself, or on its lack of execution of a quality that I think could have clearly been done better.
Well, that's my 3 yen. *yawn* Almost time to get to bed and read my book.
Bobtheduck wrote:You're on crack, bemani... Lain didn't steal a darn thing from Matrix... How could they steal from a movie that was made in a different country, being made at the same time, and not (at that time) a big name project... People only obsessed over the matrix after it was released... Before it was released, there was absolutely NO reason for a company in JAPAN to get details on it and STEAL ideas from it... And Danex? Lain was amazing... The weird stuff all had a point... It also had a lot of dicussable and applyable stuff in it if you're a christian (not saying it was Christian itself in any way...)
Kagan wrote:The Matrix borrows a lot from anime. In fact, I remember the producers of the Matrix making a comment in "the making scenes" of it that they were trying to transfer anime scenes to real life. Seeing the air fight (a la DBZ) in the Revolutions confirmed this more than anything else. As for Matrix borrowing from Lain, probably can't be proven unless you see the produces actually say "we borrowed ideas from Lain" and vice-versa, so we should just drop that. Maybe a good question to use if you ever get to interview either of the writers though

You gotta understand that Shinji was pretty wacked out of his mind when he did that.
About Hentai There is some Alright hentai with couples of corse this being a chrstian forum I won't discuss that. But I personally have no problem with it as long as it's not depciting anything too disgusting.

and oh, Matrix was based upon Ghost in the Shell. Nothing more.
