You like romantic comedy fluff? No difficulties in finding mountains of that.

Mountains and mountains of it.

Anyway, Seitokai no Ichizon... on second that, leave that until you've watched others. Chockful of references.

Anyone who thinks they "got into anime" is doing it wrong.

That genre suits you.

Anyone who thinks they "got into anime" is doing it wrong.

What does that even mean.

I feel that anime just refers to a style animation and not a genre or medium.

I've watched lots of anime but don't consider it a hobby specific to itself that's separate from tv shows and cartoons.

How is it something you can't "get into", which just means that you started seeking it out, even if it's just a style.

--

There's more that separates anime from cartons then just the art style.

In America, it definitely qualifies as a separate umbrella-genre, the same way foreign films are called, well, foreign films.

Fine I'll concede on the basis that you can get into "japanese animated tv shows."

But it seems awfully broad and not what the expression is typically made for, and I doubt what he was using it for either.

Who ****ing gives a **** about the wording anyway?

--
Connecticut Huskies

Yeah sure in America, but I don't personally consider foreign films any different from American ones.

You're intentionally blinding yourself. Films tend to have styles unique to their countries of origin, as do any other kind of entertainment.

There's a reason when you flip over to the Spanish channel, it looks like another frickin' dimension..

--
Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police
I assure you, my dear, all Ace Detectives are perfect gentlemen!

Everyone knows there are 2 uses of anime.

In the West, we use it to mean "cartoons made in Japan"
In Japan, they use it to mean "cartoons" regardless of where they're made.

Complaining about someone in the West not using the Japanese meaning is stupid.

--
Connecticut Huskies

Okay, yeah Foreign films don't have a lot of differences from American films now. But back when genres were still being introduced into the mix they were noticeably different.

Also, something like a Disney movie and a Miyazaki movie have completely different feels to them.

Nothing inherently different though. Yeah there are bound to be similarities between American films against Italian films and whatnot, but the same can be said about films between different directors.

Classifying them as American vs. foreign just seems arbitrary. Lots of foreign films are made that are hardly any different from ones here. And the Spanish channel is a pretty bad example. Soap operas evolved into something way more mainstream than they did here.

Look I'm not picking at some wording about "anime" and what it means. I just feel that people grouping it all together are either elevating it or discriminating against it just because of it's country of origin. Liking one anime does not mean you're going to like any other.

The example of "I just got into jrpgs" is more valid because jrpgs all have similarities that the term anime does not.

He didn't say "I liked an anime, recommend me any other anime ever because all anime are similar."

He identified 2 anime in the same genre, so that's obviously the genre he's referring to as wanting a recommendation for.

--
Connecticut Huskies

You're giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I'm making an assumption too, but he clearly just said anime. I've seen people before who were biased against anime suddenly feel that they could like the whole thing just because they saw one and liked it.

based off those which others would i like?

I don't know if you're just ignoring this part of what he said or denying that it means "I want you to recommend anime like these ones and not anime that aren't like these ones".

--
Connecticut Huskies

Nah I just totally missed that.

Carry on.

... what just happened? O_o

Oh, comedy then? Seitokai is one, but again, some of them stem from anime referential humor.

Mitsudomoe. Two season of this, both of them hilarious.

also the action

probably should have mentioned that too

i find them both to have a nice balance of each

--
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/351/uoty.png

So do the 3 I mentioned. They're all sci-fi/fantasy too.

--
Connecticut Huskies

I have no idea if this is the kind of comedy you had in mind, but

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo has almost literally a joke a second, and action that revolves around the humor. Speaking just on the dub, it loves puns and wordplay, and just generally being ridiculous. You really have to watch an episode or two to know if it's for you.

Love Hina
Negima!?



And I know I'm going to get **** for recommending the former.

--
Congratulations, LMS. In a topic where Liquid Wind said that women shouldn't be allowed to vote, you are still the worst poster in this topic. - kevwaffles

Watch something better.

Steins;Gate. Now.

And I know I'm going to get **** for recommending the former.

Both of them, actually.

Steins;Gate

How is Steins;Gate like either of those? I haven't watched it, but seems kinda... completely different.

--
Connecticut Huskies

Oh, I wouldn't hate on Negima. It's my favorite manga.

Negima!? just isn't good though.

Steins has a fair amount of humor, some of which is romantic comedy stuff, so I don't think it's that off, though.

They do seem to advertise the crap out of it in Nyantype and Megami, so I guess that makes sense.

One Piece is viewable on netfilx I believe. I'm not sure if the subbed version is there, although the dubbed by funimation isn't bad. They're on youtube at least.
