You like who you want to like.

Everyone likes what they like, but they should at the very least explain or prove their fondness, through words, or supporting evidence to those claims. I'm curious to what made a character so likable by another member, so I asked for a further explanation (in this case proof). I did so specifically because I couldn't find a whole lot of video samples of her appealing voice. This is not to say I'm determined to convince myself she sounds annoying, I made that judgment based on one video, which you could probably agree that isn't really accurate or "fair". I've explained couple times why I like Alicia's character, so it's not impossible to do.

A question was raised about what about Hibiki that strikes otakukid's interest, so to respond to that appropriately, an explanation (even a brief is sufficient) would be lovely. However, another candidate enters and challenges his reasoning. He isn't there to belittle another's interest (despite how much it may seem), he's there to evoke further more in-depth reasoning from otakukid.

Does that sound better?

Simply brushing off someone who asks more question and entices an actual discussion as a jerk is pretty dumb.

Well, I have trouble describing things I don't know, just like a typical human.

Why did I feel like Kyon just then?

Now that's a silly thing to say. You were already able to tell me your reasons for liking Hikibi. You just haven't been able to show it off via video samples. I await your response once you've seen enough episodes or whatever.
 
Just discovered there is actually a Cowboy Bebop Movie. How the hell did I not see this? Definately a must watch for me now that I know about it.

Also (Figured I'll announce it here since nobody will notice on my youtube channel and well technically, its kinda Anime) in case anyone is interested, I'm going to be doing an abriged movie based ofthis.

Got voices, just about to finish the script and find myself a good mic.

And with that, I sleep. Night, people.

Reason you didnt see it back in the day is cause the US release was to be sept. 2001. At the time it seemed like a bad idea to release a movie about terrorism so they delayed it and the marketing suffered (I think*).

Well you were coming off as a jerk.
 
Unfortunately, you just might perceive anything you don't agree with as a jerk comment. You should know by now I have a habit of not sugarcoating my messages. what can I say though? I've never been taught to lie, let alone a white lie.

So it turns out Deadman Wonderland may be one of the best shows ive seen, really quite good.

So what's good about it? You and Terronium seem to have some kind of infatuation with it, but I don't see any real substance anywhere. Ganta's whiny, Shiro's a moe blob and everything is a conspiracy. /Deadoman Wondaland
 
I seemed to have good choice in anime when I first started. I got into The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya first, then got into Lucky Star. Both of them seem to be insanely popular, the first of which having a 'fake' religion based around it, so I feel I made good choices. Also, now that I think about it, it's been about 3 years since I got into anime.
 
What the hell is this "moe" you and others speak of? Don't if I asked before, but I'm hearing alot of this, almost like its a bad thing.

From TV Tropes:

Coined in Japan in the late 90s, "Moe" (萌え, pronounced as "Moh-Eh", derived from a Japanese word that means "budding, to sprout/bloom" or sometimes "to burn") is an ill-defined otaku term that means, amongst other things, "cute", "huggable", or "endearing". While it's sometimes used to describe a series, it's more about a specific ideal or kind of character.

Hmm i too have a hard time putting thimgs into words, its just a badass show.
How you dont see that idk but like AOS said about girls applies here aswell "you like what you like"
 
That's what Sephy said.

My guess is that you're easily won over with any action, and while the fights were okay and cool, the story plummets later on with each episode.

Oh
Sephy sorry .
No action really isnt the biggest decider for me with shows, the story on the other hand was good and had quite abit of depth as far as not being able to tell whats gonna happen next, really theres still lots left undone with where they ended. But what did it for me was probably the character variety and there own back stories.

The ending bombed hard because the protagonist worked so hard to become free from prison, but instead of finally leaving, he chooses to stay back at the last minute for no logical reason.

Hey, I don't tell you what to watch so you can't tell me what to watch.

What's this immature attitude about? I wasn't telling you what to watch. I was asking you a question.

Actually i believe he didnt have a choice all he ended up doing was freeing the people from having to battle each other and basically returning to normal prison + that collar thing was still on.
Also hes still unaware that shiro is the redman + that crazy humming bird lady obviously is up to somthing.
