A guy once leant me his copy of Ghost in the Shell, he was into all this sort of stuff. I found it convoluted and boring, if pretty to look at.

And also quite recently a gurlfriend basically forced (my god) me to watch an ep of some series... Deathnote? This guy finds a book and writes names in it and then they die. We concurred that I am the spitting image of this bloke. Pity it was a load of crap.

EDIT: OMG, this was the guy!

He's so cute! And, actually, aside from the rockin' beige/stone jacket, I practically have that getup in the wardrobe. Hmm. And my hair is of sufficient length to get that more emo, dramatic look. Mmmmm. If only I could be arsed to stylise! Hmmmmmmmm.

Oh yeah, sorry, thread.

I watched Ghost in the Shell when I was about 13 and found it utterly incomprehensible. I had no idea what was going on.

Yeah, true. Didn't that robot chick die and then she was a small girl or something? Fuck, I don't know.

It was v. confusing. I do however remember a robot blowing up stone pillars and shit.

The only anime I see are showed on the cartoon network, and that's when I'm watching a cable tv, which I don't own.
Other than pokemon and dragon ball Z, although I got realy sick of DBZ when I started watching far too late, so I didn't get any of the story, and the fight scenes that took 3-5 episodes realy annoyed me.
The early episodes of pokemon were ok, but I was a kid then, now they're just...
I think the thing I'm not used to in anime is the cliffhangers, I know most shows have them, but I feel they aren't handled well at all in the anime shows I have seen.
The thing about manga for me is that it can be interesting to look at, with the cute characters who don't look asian at all, but are supposed to be, and how they tear each other appart, and how there is at least one absurd person, or animal/ alien/ monster/ object that can talk,. For me, it's interesting to understand the show, and fun to watch once in a while, but tedius to follow.
Sorry if I have offended any anime fans.
