Obsessive anime fans

Post Reply New Topic

... I didn't at Chobits. I need to read the manga for that though, I don't think the end of the anime was particularly good.

Kyo Kara Maoh! had me sobbing for about three episodes though. >>; Not to mention Full Metal Alchemist, but I think everyone cries at a certain spoilerific moment (arg! I'm getting sniffy just thinking about it!)

What do people consider so bad about fanfics? They've been around for thousands of years (the tradition of oral storytelling is basically the root), and some are considered part of culture (considering that people like Merlin and Lancelot weren't originally part of the King Arthur story and were added in by later tellers).

Telling new stories about someone else's characters is an ancient thing, and written fanfics are just a continuation of that.

Im not obsessive, I watch certain series but I don't clasify myself as a fanboy

I'm getting a tad obsessed with Full Metal Alchemist (having only just discovered it myself) but I would never take it as far as the scary fans. I don't see a problem with people dressing up as the characters and going to conventions and joining clubs and groups, anything like that, as long as it isn't actually the only thing in their lives, interfering with more important things, and as long as they are having fun instead of defining themselves by it. I think maybe that's the line we're looking for. You can see the difference between someone who enjoys a subject and has taken a strong interest in it and someone who thinks that the whole world can be redefined by someone's made-up comic book or sci fi show (ahem... Star Trek). I love fiction of many sorts, but at the end of the day, I know what's real and what's made up, even if I made it up myself.

I love watching Hinata, Sakura, Tsunade, Temari, Naruto and all their boyfriends.

Gundam 00!! !

Through looking for some anime, I came across this very interesting anime called lucky star, it is a good rest from a lot of the other full on plot animes.

I was going to watch it in sub but have decided to watch this in dub instead, aswell as watching Full metal alchemist, which I also have just started checking out. Though I have watched some of animes in sub, I just need a rest from some of reading.

I saw the first episode of this series and I like it a lot due it has Kendo involved.

Everyone should know this anime with no problems.

i dislike narutards and dubutards, i mean i dont mind if someone like naruto or dubs but when they say that naruto is the best anime ever but never step out of the mainstream or only judge an anime because of its crappy dub (one piece) that pisses me off

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I honestly couldn't care less about how obsessed or not-obsessed other people are with something I like. I don't really see how it could "ruin" it for me, since what something means to me isn't affected by others and their opinions. If there's a fan fic I don't like, I'll simply not read it and find another. What others do really isn't any of my business, and I'm having a hard time imagining why I would care about others' obsessions and why it would ruin it for me. But meh, not trying to argue or anything, as I'm sure there's lots who disagree (which is perfectly fine), I just simply don't care...in the slightest.

Agree on the One Piece dubbing job. 4Kids should be sue for that by Oda because they killed One Piece that it was beyond revival.

I love it and don't care what anyone thinks....I've watched every episode of Naruto (some subbed and some dubbed) and then up to episode 91 of Shippudden and have bought all the manga and have bought figures of ero sennin Jairaya and TonTon
all in the last month...am now starting to watch bleach...but I'm really enjoying all...so you could say it's an obsession ....but I love it!

But if anyone has any other manga they could recommend it would be great anyway!

woof!!

I just remember about Trigun! I like that anime a good bit because it was funny at times.
