Re: First Anime
I'm not really sure about that, I've seen Pokemon before back when it first started, and it's still one of the worst animes out there compared to the vintage classics (Dragonball, Gatchaman, Slayers, Saint Seya, Lupin The 3rd, Sailormoon, Ghost In The Shell, etc) , and the modern classics (Samurai Champloo, Ergo Proxy, Paranoia Agent, FLCL, Bleach, etc.). It's quite easy to be completely repelled from animes like Pokemon, Full Metal Alchemist, Digimon and such, especially when they're packing terrible english dubs, and are only focused towards the younger audience of viewers. Dragonball Z, GT, and Dragonball have questionable dubbing...but then again, look at the competition of dubbing teams for the show. Personally, i enjoy both the dub and the japanese language of it...of course, DBGT is awful in every way you look at it.
I can only see myself watching Pokemon if there is absolutely nothing else on, or to do...which is what brought me to watching it in the first place back then. :noexpression:

Damn those japanese animators and their wicked crafts. The show is as lame as an after-school special, yet can still entertain... at least the game is good.
Also... I hate DBZ, seriously over-played, and not even in a decent way. I like Dragonball, though only becuase its so stupid and ignorant it makes it mildly funny.
