I was in 3rd grade when Pokemon became popular. At first I hated it but then I grew to love it. (must of been subliminal messaging Wink

) I was jealous of any kids who had real cards. I had the bootlegs Laughing

I had a thing for Ash when I was a kid. Laughing

Ah, the good old days of Saturday Morning Cartoons. Smile

I liked Card Captors and Inuyasha too. I disliked Yu-gi-Oh a lot though. I never understood why evertime they came across some life-or-death situation they ended up playing cards. Like when that villain kidnapped Yugi's grandpa...why didn't they just call the cops? Or shoot/beat up the guy and get it over with?

I disliked Sailor Moon as a kid but it's a fond memory of mine now (even though I don't think they play it anymore)

I also liked Tenchi and Yuyu Hakashou...and I basically watched most of the animes that you guys named before. I also liked DBZ. I watched 2 seasons before I realized every season had the same plot. But it's like that with every show, really.

I like the manga Marmalade Boy. I hope that they show the series in the US (dubbed well) on Adult Swim. I also hope that they re-color all the character's hair before it airs in the US. Miki was meant to have black hair and Meiko and Arimi are meant to have blonde hair! But they probably won't waste time and money re-coloring everyone's hair...

In response to everyone else: I don't think I've seen anyone overweight in an anime. Anime characters usually have perfect bodies.

Noooooooooo!!!! Not hacked-up TV dubs! I can't even watch the Sailormoon dub anymore, and I never did like "Cardcaptors" because I saw Card Captor Sakura first. Then I watched a dubbed episode of one of the episodes I'd already seen, and it was way different. (This shouldn't surprise some people.) So, yeah. Don't try to talk to me about "Cardcaptors," because even speaking the American title is enough to get me started.

As for Dragonball, I never watched it, but I heard from people who have that its dub is hacked up, which might be why you think every episode looks the same. But I can't say for sure.

I thought they did a good job with InuYasha. (Probably by then, "NA TV dubs suck!" was screamed loud enough for people to hear.) I mostly watch it on DVD, though.

Personally, I liked Cardcaptors better because Sakura is less of a sue is that one. I like both the english and japanese versions but I don't like Sakura's voice in the sub...And I did say I wanted Marmalade Boy to be 'dubbed well' didn't I? Wink

the only thing that bothers me about that show is that the characters didn't look the way I imagined them to be when I read the manga. Even the author of the series said she had imagined their hair to be normally colored.

On the topic of dubs vs. subs, I'm more understanding towards dubs, because sometimes the original voices are just inaccesable (I mean sometimes the Japanese versions, women are just too friggin' high pitched to the point they sound like thirteen year-olds).

Bang Zoom! studio which usually does the Pioneer/Geneon animation usually does a good job and Funimation, a Texas-based dubbing studio, has really redemned themselves with dubbing FullMetal Alchemist. Ocean View, a Canada-based one and the ones who are responsible for the "Inuyasha" dub, have had hits and misses.

4Kids, well, I'm not to fond of their work, mainly they drastically edit footage and often dumb-down dialogue to be "suitable" for children.

The things you learn off the internet Laughing

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Disgusting, isn't it?

Unfortunately, 4Kids is my only method of access to these cartoons, so I miss out on great stuff like Sanji's cigarette. (THEY TURNED IT INTO A LOLLIPOP!!! What happened to the days when all the cool guys smoked? I guess it's just one of those lung cancer things.) Still, their rendition of One Piece is pretty good, at least compared to Pokémon.

*Glowers at Janette*

As a complete un-endorser of smoking, I think the last thing the kids need is seeing a cigarette sticking out of one's mouth as being part of the 'cool' package.

...Not that I really like the lollipop any better, as I don't endorse rotting your teeth and pancreas out with sugar, either. But at least it's not so tacked to being 'cool.'

Spinach is bad for you, too. It gives you kidney stones.

I didn't really mean all the cool guys had to smoke. But the way smoking is practically taboo on any form of entertainment... it's just annoying.

And I'm pretty sure spinach doesn't give you kidney stones. It's probably taking the fall for some other food on account of a nutritional misunderstanding.
