Favourite Thing About Anime

[Polaris]

the kawaii girls

Oh God that was so gay!

I love the way they design characters, even when characters are not pretty we love them! ^^ Also most stories are tough and my personals where the Vatican is bad or has to fight against vampires! Anime is awsome for people who are creative and have a cool mind!

[Kossage]

The narratives are obviously what draw me in, but animation and music also play an important role.

Also, it's awesome to finally see my precious Gurren-Lagann getting some widespread love.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I love animation for the quality of presentation. Unfortunately, that quality in laughably poor in almost all anime. I just live for the exceptions.

[I Took the Red Pill]

That it's not on a lot.

[Momiji]

Oh yeah, I forgot the concept of hammerspace as well.

[Avarice-ness]

I don't really watch anime anymore, but anime for me is all about the art.

It could have the best story line to man, but if it's drawn horribly I can't stand to watch it.
I also prefer anime's with more realistic tone's in the art over the CLEARLY big eye'd anime one's.

[Evastio]

When people don't bandy on about it like it's some kind of celestial gift from the Gods of Olympus.

That's kind of hypocritical. No offense.

[Shoeberto]

Usually the starting premise is pretty good and draws me in.

Of course by the end of most I'm totally turned off by how poorly they try to explain it all. But usually it's a pretty intense ride up until then.

The fact that just about all series have a discernable beginning, middle, and end.

In most western series, the creators will keep milking the show until it utterly jumps the shark. In Japan, a show is usually planned out from beginning to end. This allows for more dramatic and unpredictable storytelling as opposed to the whole "lets just keep things going until it gets unpopular, than change it" vibe of most western productions.

Except for Inuyasha and DBZ. >.>

But yeah I like how many animes kill shows when they need to die. Some do it too soon though.

S'ok, your tiny mortal brain is just failing to understand just how damn right I really am.

Dragonball Z DOES have a discernable end, It just takes its sweet time getting there.

As for Inu Yasha... blame takahashi, the creator of the manga for that one. She started inu yasha just after the Year of the Dog on the Chinese calender, and vowed to keep inu yasha going until the next year of the dog. The company that was doing the anime sat down with her to talk about ending the anime, and she was still nowhere near the end of the manga, so they just ended the series in mid story.

the interesting complicated storylines and how things can go from serious to stupid at anytime always makes me laugh.

That's a bit superficial...

Anyways, I basically like anything with a good storyline. The art to me is very well drawn in most animes. And I like it in terms of like the "What's gonna happen next?" elements. Because its more enjoyable that way.
