noteDhero's Profile

Hey, I'm a 22 year old aspiring actor. I've been watching anime ever since I was little. My babysitter owned box sets of Ronin Warriors, Voltron, and Transformers, so there was no escaping the tractor beam that is anime. The first series that I remember watching on network TV was (and is probably the same for a lot of people my age) Sailor Moon on Fox and then it moved to USA. If I remember correctly it came on aroud 5 or 6 central time right before Bananas in Pajamas and Mortal Kombat the Animated Series, respectively. Needless to say it holds a special place in my heart.

Anyways... I hold anime to the same standards as regular TV and Film...maybe higher, so I try to stay away from the generic. That doesn't mean I don't like a little Naruto every now and then, but I especially try to stay away from long series..I just kinda get bored after about 70 episodes. I'm also little picky about presentation in anime, it's pretty hard to describe except that I absolutely loathe the look of One Piece, and love the look of Mushishi, Death Note, and Honey & Clover. For me, when I find interesting characters (and I tend to hate or be ambivalent towards 90% of scripted characters), I'm hooked. I can forgive a lot of things if I'm in love with the characters (i.e Naruto). Though leads normally don't do anything for me, its the supporting characters that I end up really liking and can put a show over the top.

I'd love to hear some recommendations from everyone...I'll try practically anything for a few episodes. Also, if anyone wants my opinion I'd be more than welcome to give it...it's hard for me to keep up in forums, but I'm really gonna try.

Zurelily | 11-25-08, 10:12 AM Ah, thank you, but you don't have to. I do read a lot of fics, but it's not important. Just thought I'd ask. ;) Reply

Zurelily | 11-25-08, 6:57 AM Well, that's true, unfortunately... I just hope he won't be paired up with the class pres. That would be really unreasonable in my opininon... By the way... Do you happen to know any good Natsume fanfics? ;) Reply

Jacut | 11-24-08, 1:17 AM No prob, my pleasure ;) Reply

Zurelily | 11-21-08, 6:31 AM Hello, I read one of your comments about Natsume's love interest in the Natsume Y. club. I just wanted to say that I totally agree with you. It's like you voiced my thoughts before I could... (A bit creepy, I'd say, but still; don't you think this means we're 100% right about Natsume's sexuality?) Reply

Bakabwoy | 10-17-08, 6:10 AM Tnx for wishing me a Happy B-day >.< I been gone for a while for a bunch of reasons, I left a note for everyone at Opend Minds ^.^ *wines* I'm not old *cries* Reply

Takai | 10-14-08, 1:21 PM Happy Birthday! ^_^ Reply

Forever | 10-14-08, 9:47 AM Oh, right! It's today! Happy birthday! :) I agree on GONZO using really, really bad CG with a high contrast to the 2D-parts. The better scifi ones I can think of are without a second thought: Macross Zero/Macross Frontier and Gundam 00. But they were ok here in Tytania, too. Amazing that you were able to see those stereotypes in them. It might be true, but I think episode 1 is too early to be able to say anything about their true character. I wasn't able to see Yang's character, either, in ep 1. But I agree on Yang being a great and deep character, who is also very funny on an intelligent level. It's amazing how they maintained a good story over 110 episodes, though I think the last part without yang was a bit on the weak side and I question the need of all those sacrifices (I hated it that Schenkopp had to die) in the end to achieve peace. But overall it was a good ending. Reply

-Angel- | 10-14-08, 7:53 AM happy birthday!! you have the same birthday as my daughter! :D Reply

Forever | 10-14-08, 7:32 AM Thanks for your comment! You are right. I really didn't think about that. Well, Reinhard having white clothes is befitting of his character and later the kaiser status. I thought nothing ill about it. The 3 Fleet Admirals having different colors is what I also bought. I mean it's only dark/blue/red and there is not also a green and orange/yellow type of color. But I really have to agree that this goes a bit against my complain. Nice find. I don't like the characters in Tytania but then again I didn't like those in the first episode of LotGH either. It's too soon to judge. But the major complain about weird colourful ship design is valid even in episode 1. But then again it was also a pretty weird design in LotGH. Looks like Yang is your favorite LotGH character, too. Reply

Takai | 10-13-08, 12:00 PM LOL well i liked that show for some reason XD i think i just watched anything that came on since i had nothing else to do. i don't even watch tv anymore. Reply

Takai | 10-13-08, 10:21 AM from Russia :D well i watched Yugioh most of the time. i didn't even know what anime was back then. it was easy to understand (since they turned it into kid show, duh) and i grew to like the characters. then i researched it. before i knew it, i was into anime ^^;;; of course i found the Japanese version later on <3 (i also watched cartoons like Jackie Chan Adventures *fail* XDDD) Reply

BlackMagic | 10-12-08, 5:54 PM I just noticed you nominated Honey & Clover in the C&C Anime Nomination thread and wanted to let you know that H&C is already a part of the club relations. I'm just leaving your post as it is for now so you can go back and edit it with a different nomination when you get around to it. Reply

Takai | 10-12-08, 2:53 PM yes! XD i loved that she was learning some of the language from the anime. when i first came to U.S., i also learned some from watching some dubbed anime on tv. i don't do that anymore of course, but back then i didn't really care for anime and only used it to learn because they used simple language xD Reply

Takai | 10-12-08, 10:10 AM oh awesome! and i started Legend of the Galactic Heroes, it's great so far. but i want to finish off the rest of what i'm currently watching first (except ongoings), because i kind of don't want to be distracted from it. so i'm taking a break from it for now because i want to give it my full attention :D i love that the first thing Nodame learned to say was "this is my husband" XDDD Chiaki needs to stop being in denial.. but then that wouldn't be Chiaki anymore~ i missed the two of them so much.
