Is Anime a thing with members around these boards?

In what way do you mean ?

As in do many people here watch Anime? Or are there many Anime watchers here?

Reddd, personally no for me. I'm an old geezer and Anime seems to target a younger crowd. I don't even care for the new Animation Domination on FOX. Not saying it is bad, just personal taste. I'm sure there must be some here that are into it.

I used to think like you, but an anime is not a cartoon. I have learned a lot from anime about friendship, life, love or compassion. Of course that depends on the gender, I do not watch fighting or hentai (porno) anime. Colorful talks in an interesting twist about a boy's suicide and that even if a life is not perfect, people should not just let go. Nausica is kind of an ecological movie after the destruction of world because of hate, so it teaches about valuing all living beings, one of the actors is dubbed by Patrick Stewart. So yes, I love anime.

Well, an old geezer learned something today. I always thought of Anime as a certain 2D cartoon style. Thank you for informing me there is more to it than that. :)

I'd be more than happy to recommend you something to watch, if you'd tell me your preferred genres :)

Those two as well as Brave Story and Spirited Away. Lets not forget Clannad series, I prefer happy ending.
Other than that I watch various series. I watch them in an alphabet order, still only at E, a long way ahead.

P.S. For anyone wondering, what an anime drama is about, watch this, a warning, you will cry. :cry:

Ah I see!

You see, I simply can't bring myself to watch Clannad. Why?

For one there are too many contrasting opinions about the show. And the art style is so... prehistoric >.<

I hadn't had heard of Brave Story until now. Seems pretty interesting!

Yes, Clannad movie seems a bit old, but Clannad series look better and you do not need to watch the movie.
But I always looks behind the look, not just in movies, I watch camrips, so maybe I have not really noticed.

Big anime fan here. You have a MAL or Hummingbird profile?

You're correct. The special part about anime, though, is that it's a very flexible medium. Alongside a lot of the shows geared for young audiences, there are just as many mature shows that spread across all genres with interesting stories to tell. There's probably a show for just about anything you'd want to see.

I'm sure that I or any other anime fan here could recommend something, if you're interested.

It's what's used to be known as Japanamation a decade or more ago. Japanese cartoons....ooops, it's not cartoons, it's anime....:D. And there's lots of it out there....lots.....

I'm finishing watching the Shiki series, next series up is Red Data Girl.
