interesting taste

Speaking of which, there has been some controversy on this website about people flaunting their PTW list. How do you feel about that? Is it really such a big deal? Honestly I don't understand how anyone could tout a list like that since you can pretty much put anything on your plan to watch list. I don't know, I just don't get it. =_=

That is a good question. I would imagine if love hino was to get a reboot I think it would probably go more for the ecchi route. Just because that's what a lot of adolescent male fans want these days. It's kind of the way one piece is for me, I love it story but man is it over sexualized in these later seasons. The creators definitely know their demographic.

It really did feel surreal. In fact one of the biggest aspects of how anime grew for me as a child was with Dragon Ball. I had to wake up early in the morning for Boy scouts one day, when my mom turned on the TV and Dragon Ball was coming out at like 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning. I was instantly hooked. So much so that I wanted to track down the VHS tapes of it, the problem was nobody knew what a Dragon Ball was here in the west back in the mid-90s. I searched all over the mall to try and find the volumes that sporadically came out. Only of which I believe there were around 13 episodes dubbed. Finally after about 3 or 4 years they released all of them. Then once Cartoon Network air DBZ on Toonami it blew up. If you were to go back in time and tell me that that little anime that nobody knew about would end up being the most popular in the world, I probably never would have believed you. In fact on my next reply I'll see if I can track down an old trailer from the original Dragon Ball dub that I watched.

Okay off the top of my head I would say you may like a series called Godannar or Full Metal Panic or FUMOFFU. Not sure if fan service bothers you but Godannar does have a lot of it so not sure how much you'll like that one.

yea i could see how it can get repetitive but i dont think ill mind that. im a romance guy so ill watch about anything that has romance in it lmao

oh yea i dont blame you i saw someone else talking about the paceing in the forums
that kinda reminds me of LOGH i REFUSE! to watch the Remake






POV ME

ive been meaning to watch love hina for the longest time now i keep putting it off or doing other things are you watching the new adaptaion of anne of green gables this season

Thanks for the friend request, Mr. Terrible Eyesight 🙃

Hmmm now that you mention it, I think I just may have seen this individuals profile as well. Did he have everything listed as complete with nothing on hold or dropped? Because I'm pretty sure I've seen them too. Though just like you, I have no clue what their username used to be. I know someone who had a high complete count was Space Cowboy. An old user on this site, though I have heard he has since passed away according to rumor. Not sure how true this is though.

I do recall this being a thing with Love Hina yes. If memory serves me correctly I think Shinobu did have a crush on the main protagonist, but it never really went anywhere. Although I will admit I have only ever watched the original first season of love hina, and have never checked out any of the extra content such as the movies, ovas and the like. I know the Christmas special is pretty popular. I think maybe my problem is is that some of the female cast members I didn't like. Again I watched it dubbed at the time and just couldn't connect with them. Especially the one that Wendy Lee did. She sounded a bit too country bumpkinish for me in English. xD Thankfully the Japanese audio was much better with her character. You were definitely right about it being more tame when it came to the fan service, something you wouldn't see today in our modern harems. To be honest I'm kind of surprised they haven't tried to reboot the series at this point now that we're talking about it. 🤔

Well I think when it comes to people forgetting about anime, it's due to how oversaturated the hobby is and how easily we can access pretty much any content we want via the internet. Tons upon tons of anime are available at our fingertips. When I was growing up with anime it was very limited to what we had. the only way I could catch series is if I was lucky enough for them to air on tv, find VHS tapes at rental stores and even have to import some of them or have friends make copies of bootlegs versions they had. Which even that was extremely rare and a very poor quality. Heck I remember rental stores back then would only order one copy of a VHS tape, and if it got lost stolen or damaged. That was basically it, they would never order any more. So because things were so limited, is probably why a lot of the older titles are more fondly remembered. It sounds cliche, but we appreciated what little we had. It was a much more tighter smaller list of content to digest and remember as far as what was brought over. At least that's how I see it.

Yes they're actually quite a few from back in the day before the 2000 era I could recommend. Before I give you a list what type of anime do you prefer?

It really can. I wonder if there exists a human being on Earth who has been able to keep up with all anime ever created out there? Boy is that a daunting idea for a feat! Especially since not all anime look like traditional anime, such as stop motion and short western style animation that comes also from Japan.

Good point there! To be honest I haven't kept up with many modern harem anime titles in a while. How would you say they differ from back then based on what you've seen of Love Hina? One of the reasons why I may have not been into the series at the time is because I watched the English dub version, and for some reason I didn't like some of the voice acting on it. Many of the characters felt a bit too annoying, where as their Japanese counterparts were a lot more pleasant on the ears. At least for me anyway. If you do enjoy Love Hina then there is certainly a lot of content out there for it when it comes to the anime version. Movies, OVAs, you name it!

Well you're definitely talking to a dude who's over 30. XD But yeah, I remember back in like the mid-2000s it was all the rage. I guess it just happens with any series though, unless it's considered a timeless classic in the vein of like DBZ, Welcome to the NHK, Cowboy Bebop and the like. It ends up being forgotten. I remember feeling that way about Dirty Pair, a very popular anime from the '80s but now you hardly see anybody talking about it who isn't into retro titles.

I see, well I can completely understand your dilemma. We're at a point where there is just an overwhelming amount of anime to watch. I take it you are into the older stuff as well?

I'll be honest I wasn't the biggest fan of Love Hina, then again at the time I had been watching so much harem anime back then that I think I was suffering from burnout by the time I got to it. So I may have to give it another watch someday. It was a trailblazer that really popularized the harem genre I'll give it that. And its popularity can't be denied.

Hey there buddy! Thank you very much for the friend request. I remember you, you're the one I talked about Ninja Nonsense with a while back. Did you ever get a chance to check out the series?

tnx dude

No problem

Shintaro Kago :)

Yeah, I agree

I'm not saying Sekai was in the right but School Days without Sekai would be an infinitely more boring show. Although that'd likely just be a win for Otome so that's not the worst timeline.

Generally speaking, I like the more lively girls too so I prefer girls like Sekai over Kotonoha

Yeah, unfortunately, there is a large disparity of Kotonoha fans vs. Sekai fans

I wish more people could see that Sekai Saionji is Actually Based but idk, there's a sort of charm to having an acquired taste.
