Jesus Christ, that's a lot of fucking anime. And here I am not able to stand ANY of it.
What do you not like about it? I know it is not everyones thing. I was just wandering. I find well done anime more enjoyable to watch then a movie with people. Maybe you watched some really lame show. I do not know but I could recommend some good anime if you are interested in giving it another chance. The show "Cowboy Bebop was rated the best anime ever in anime insider magazine. You should look into it. I know the name is a little odd, but the show is amazing.

I know what you mean, it is an art style. Your not the first person I have heard say they are not fond of the animation style. It is true however, that there is a large difference between artists.

But there are clear similarities in the animation styles of all anime, at least in every single anime I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few. You obviously haven't seen that many if you think that. Does Shin Chan look like Cowboy Bebop? Does Blood+ look like Astro Boy?

I do think that you should try and get into the storyline. Do not focus so much on the animation if it ruins it for you. Let yourself get drawn into the story line. You may find yourself enjoying anime. If everyone watched the right kind of anime, I think they would enjoy it. It is just a matter of finding your niche. The next thing you know you might start liking other genres of anime. What animes have you seen that stick out in your mind. I am curious.
Wait what is a home cinema, maybe that is retarded question. I was thinking of like a lcd tv and surround sound. I am quite confuzzled.

Surround sound and a HD projector + canvas.

Wow that sounds feaking awesome. What does a HD projector coast? What size canvas do you have? One more question, then I will stop:). Is that as clear as an HD tv, or a little less?

it's at least as clear, if you have a proper projector.

I have to say the show Shin Chan is very different than most. I do not think it resembles your typical japanese anime. I am not saying necessarily that it is a great show either. I like it, it is pretty retradely funny.

josh, that was a terrible list of shows. Dragonball z and naruto are terrible, and bleach doesn't strike me as terribly good either (haven't seen but a few eps, but they didn't hook me). Death note is ok, if you're into that "I'm a super-emo serial killer lol" thing. Full Metal Alchemist is the best of the batch, but it's not the greatest series either, and if you don't catch it from the beginning, you won't really know what's going on in a typical episode.
In a nutshell, shit list. But saying you don't like anime because of that list is like saying you don't like american TV because you've seen a few episodes of American Idol, Medium, one of the CSIs, and a few random episodes of Lost. News flash: Adult Swim, and most of the other american networks, basically show mainstream anime. Aren't you the one who's always saying you hate mainstream stuff, whether it's music or movies or tv or what-the-f-ever? Well, anime is no different. Try some stuff off the beaten path. There's plenty of it streaming online for free, if you don't mind subtitles.

@Bend-err: The second one.
@Gopher, you're right.
Anyway, I watched the first two episodes of Cowboy Bebop last night, and it was...alright. I might watch a few more episodes to see if I get sucked in. I watched them dubbed, btw. Sorry, but I'd rather watch dubbed than subbed...hearing the Japanese language starts to bug me after a while. It's a very...differently spoken language than our own, and it can throw off the way I read the subtitles and make it seem very weird for me.
I hear you josh. I actually preferred dubbed for the most part. I do not mind subtitles and Japanese though either. Then again I am learning Japanese, that may have something to do with it. I can go either way. Also Cowboy Bebop is made by Bandai and I like the American voice actors who do Bandai. They normally use really good voice actors. The quality of the dub really depends on the company.
