I don't like anime in general. There are 2 things essential to ANY story: plot and art. And anime fails on both accounts.
- The plotlines are ALWAYS confusing, IF they make any sense at all. I was watching an anime one time about a guy who talked to a girl at school over some Instant Messenger. They both liked each other, and so it seemed like they would get together. Then the guy goes to some Japanese holiday's special fair/festival thing, finds some random girl who had no connection to the story and was never mentioned before, and starts to date her. The end. It was like the whole half-hour of stuff which happened before the final scene even mattered. And don't even get me started on this whole S.O.S. brigade thing, which STILL confuses the fuck out of me. Also, I just can't believe that the guy is seriously using a sword twice the size of him with any kind of accuracy. You ever try to swing a sword which is 12 feet long? It doesn't go over well.
- The artwork always feels lazy. They repeat the exact same 2 frames over again to represent someone talking, when it's just someone opening and closing their mouth. The characters in the background don't even MOVE. The cars are stopped at a green light. The people are frozen in mid-step. It's like they're walking in a street full of statues. It seems like someone slapped it together as fast and as cheap as possible to make a quick buck.
Long story short, I may like Hentai, but I don't like anime.
Anime IS not Halo.
