Alright who here thinks they know the most about anime?


Please post your posts...!!! hahahahahaha

I sure as hell know a lot of this thing called anime. Ask me anything from Astroboy through Neon Genesis Evangelion. Everything else after 1996 sucks ass though, dont watch it. Well Lain was cool.

If I've seen it, I know it. But I have to have seen it often, so ask me about like Fooly Cooly, or the American stuff for Naruto. Or something.

Damnit man, my selection is limited!

The history of anime begins at the start of the 20th century, when Japanese filmmakers experimented with the animation techniques that were being explored in France, Germany, United States and Russia.

Animation became popular in Japan as it provided an alternative format of storytelling compared to the underdeveloped live-action industry in Japan. Unlike America, where live-action shows and movies have generous budgets, the live-action industry in Japan is a small market and suffered from budgeting, location, and casting restrictions. The lack of Western-looking actors, for example, made it next to impossible to shoot films set in Europe, America, or fantasy worlds that do not naturally involve Asians. The varied use of animation allowed artists to create characters and settings that did not look Japanese at all.

During the 1970s, there was a surge of growth in the popularity of manga comics — which were often later animated — especially those of Osamu Tezuka, who has been called a "legend" and the "god of manga".As a result of his work and that of other pioneers in the field, anime developed characteristics and genres that are fundamental elements of the art today. The giant robot genre (known as "mecha" outside Japan), for instance, took shape under Tezuka, developed under Go Nagai and others, and was revolutionized at the end of the decade by Yoshiyuki Tomino. Robot anime like Gundam and Macross became instant classics in the 80s, and the robot genre of anime is still one of the most popular in Japan and worldwide today. In the 1980s, anime was accepted in the mainstream in Japan, and experienced a boom in production (It should be noticed that, Manga has significantly more mainstream exposure than anime in Japan). The mid-to-late '90s, on into the 2000s, saw an increased acceptance of anime in overseas markets.

Told you i knew #####.

You should write history books on this.

I cant charge for this knowledge.

And now we are going to learn how to distinguish between anime and things that are not anime

Exercise 1:


Thats Anime



Anime or not?





NOT, thats Hulk Hogan

and this is his daughter Brooke



also NOT ANIME, but hot as hell.

Exercise number 2:



Anime



NOT ANIME

No for real, thats a watermelon.

I swear.

Hope the guide was helpful.

Ok I'll start with the first question since Hamina is sleeping at the moment....*Lights dim low as he draws out cards from his shirt pocket and clears his throat."...Ok now to keep track of this I will award 1 point to anyone who gets the question right and post them under ether Hami's or My post...here we go.

What movie was it that many belived launched Anime from absolute fringe genre to a cultural phenomenon?

i kno what anime is! i dont know much about anime in general but i know a bit about a few of the shows... VERY few, mainly the mainstream ones that i watched when i was a kid.. DBZ, gundam wing etc..

EDIT: just read ur post ^...was it... princess mononoke... ?

Err... Akira? If not then I'm sticking with Pokemon... XD

I don't know much about Anime, I enjoy what I see of it but I don't go crazy over it. I havn't seen that much... I few of most popular films (Ghost in the shell, Akira, Studio Ghibli flms) and Full Metal Alchemist as well as bleach... that's basically my list...

My guess would be either Akira or Ghost in the Shell.

1.A talking rabbit.

2.Aura's.

1. Demons are in this Manga/Anime
2.You can only find this anime in books and on the computer...

Death Note? x.x'



Your clues aren't very helpful to be honest. If it has an anime, then it'll be aired on TV in Japan...

No that is not it either but I am gonna give it to you because no one else can get as close as that....it seems
The answer was DemonDiary
So here is the next one for ya......


1.he is a half demon boy

2.likes 2 girls

3.One is the other girls reincarnation

4.The half demon has a full demon brother

5.Both brothers have a sword given to them by the father

Now that is freakin obvious.

It's Inuyasha.

Unless I'm mistaken, or retarded. Is this a trick question? GOD! STOP CONFUSING ME PUBLIC EDUCATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUST KILL THINGS RAAAAAAAAWWWWRR!!!!!!

Sorry. I was up at 5 a.m. for the past three weeks for lacrosse practice. I'm turning insane on and off.

Kirby dance time.

<(o.O)> ^(o.O)> ^(o.O)^ t(>.<)t

WRONG! jk of course Inuyasha! and you get one golden star....any ways.

Ok time to make them a little harder....
Next....

This Anime movie that has a Japanese cover on one side, English cover on the other, English cover side has one woman with her eyes closed holding a tanto and three samurai one standing in flames.

Japanese cover dipics the woman and one of the samurai wraped up in a blanket together and a faded image of them in the backround them standing back to back.

Ill give a hint just in case you never seen the cover.....

Ninja Scroll?

Nope try to think more along the lines of Samurai then Ninja.

Ill give another hint...

The main Char starts off as a child that beheld a horrific scene at the first part of the movie.

samurai X of course.........

With the way the topic has developed, this will be moved.

Dragon Ball....ehhhh Z.

Rurouni Kenshin/Samrai X didn't start of the main char as a child.

Is it Peace Maker Kurogane? At least tha's what I'm geting by the hint.

Axis is right Samurai X:Trust and Betrayal

He did start off as a child at the first part of the movie as the little boy Shinta which is Kenshin's real name.

I vaguely remember seeing someone in the line of this. So I searched through most of my anime-stuff I got lying around. So my guess is "Kimi ga Nozomu Eien"

It's totally Naruto..........

Correct Zanian,

Next one..

1. Yellow hair.

2. Massive Energy.

3. Transformations.

4. Monkeys.

5. Aliens.
==================

Chrono soul:1

Lol, that one is easy. It's "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!" (you can only love that title, haha)
Though I would never have defined that as an anime.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I've never really seen anyone with yellow hair... The main char is black haired.
So.... tecnically, this could be the only anime Razael is able to guess.
Dragon Ball

You are close but that is not the exact series.

Finally, I think Razael's answer could be right this time.

Dragon Ball Z.

That does have monkeys. But Goku has black hair....morons....

I'm gonna be a dick and go with Dragon Ball GT (like we needed more balls)

(#>_<)

Dragon Ball Z/GT. 100 points for me yay.

Correct Illusion, 1 point

I thought for sure Raz would get that one first...Oh well ill give him a point since he guessed it so many times lol.

Next,

1.Pirates

2.Straw hat

3.treasure

4.talking deer.

...yeah I know its obvious.
