Am I the only one?

Postby Cognitive Gear » Mon Jan 10, 2005 4:11 pm

So my friend and I just got done watching DN Angel....

Am I the only guy here who loves the love stories in anime?

Maybe I'm just a sappy love story lover.. :sweat:

Hey, Ai Yori Aoshi isn't my second favorite all time anime series for no reason! ;)

Considering I like Ai Yori Aoshi, Fushigi Yugi, Full Moon wo Sagashite...

No, I think it's safe to say you're not the only guy.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for that stuff, especially when there's a girl at school that I like. :red: There's nothing wrong with liking sappy stuff.

I like animes from every genre. I love my dramas, sports, comedy and action. Personally, I would find it dull if every anime had the same premise. It's okay to mix it up sometimes :). One day I'm in a sports mood so I'll pop in Fighting Spirit. The next day I may feel like a good dramatic series, so in goes Kanon or Ceres. So on and so on.
Am I the only guy here who loves the love stories in anime?

So to anwser you qeustion, no. I also like love stories. I've seen many: kanon, Ceres, Princess Nine, Vandread, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and etc...

I mean, love is a common part of life. So I don't mind seeing a dramatic love story here and there. Call me a hopeless romantic if you will, but I don't mind :P

I love the romantic anime, especially the romantic comedies. Some of my favorites include Jubei-chan, Sailor Moon, Marmalade Boy, and Fruits Basket. And I'll probably add to that list (after I finish them) Super Gals and Comic Party, since I'm loving them right now!

So, yeah, I'm a guy who really has a soft spot for lovey-dovey anime!

I like the beauty of some love stories, such as parts of the mars manga series were just so touching...but then there are love stories that are way to stupid and annoying...(almost every shoujo out there)

Is it worth watching? I've read so many reviews that were completely negative that I'm sorta scared to even try this one out.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

You aint the only one. I like the sappy stuff. Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi was great, I love DN Angel...

I like anime romances. Some of the best art is in romance animes. And the stories are pretty good to. Now if they could just get rid of the fanservice...

As long as it's done well of course. So no I actually enjoy the love stories like I do everything else good about anime.

Ya, I've heard that lots of people didn't like it... but the only complaint I ever heard was that there wasn't enough action in it. :shady: I loved DN Angel. I reallythink it's worth the time to watch!

Love stories are great.... though at times I'm not up for them lately, but that's more of a personal issue than anything.

Sappy is all good ;) :thumb:

The answer is obvious by now, but perhaps more so if you consider that Ai Yori Aoshi, DNAngel, Maison Ikkoku, Video Girl Ai, Mahoromatic, and even Ranma 1/2, to some extent, are all romances that not only appeal to men - they are targeted at men.

(Don't take this as an endorsement of any of the listed titles - if you are wondering about any of them, PM me and we can discuss the "appropriateness" of them).
