lol, your problem is that you still see it as 'anime'. Like I said, expecting to like or hate all anime is like trying to like or hate all movies collectively. Stop thinking of them as 'anime' or 'films' and just think of them as stories... some you'll like some you'll hate whether animated or otherwise ^^

Oh and just for the Gainax fans. Cheers to the first person to name each characters name and what series they come from. I'm confident you won't get 3 of them. The others are pretty easy.
Gainax Tea Party Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Wow............that is awesome................the hell if I know their names though. I know who most of em are.......that one in the back I know I;ve seen somewhere......but I suck with names. Still, that pretty much rules.
i dont kno much about anime, (my brother's a NGE nut so i try to avoid such things (his cat and computers have japanese names))
but i love Slayers, and no one mentioned them. i ask you, whats wrong with Slayers Next, Slayers Try, and the original Slayers season. is it kiddy junk? is it poorly made and i didnt notice?
and Serial Experiments Lain, in all these anime threads only NemesisZero ever mentions Lain, she so awesome in every way....
actually I was a bit of a slayers fanatic way back but I've seen more of the OAVs, series, read the mangas and novels and background on it so until the new slayers series materialises (think they were calling it slayers perfect last I heard) all i can do is watch the old ones. I prefer the OAVs to the series though it's nigh on impossible to get the really good ones on DVD and the series follows the novels more closely (they revolve around lina and gourry). I used to be really annoyed at the series because they managed to get lina's appearance totally wrong; in the novels she's a lil brunette with a fiery temper in red trousers and turtle-shell armguards and cloak and stuff (funnily enough, it's the clothes she wears in the OAVs... go figure =s ), while the TV series have her wearing what looks like a pair of pink pyjamas with ginger hair o.O
Purist annoyances aside Slayers is still fun whether you watch the series or films though 'slayers the motion picture' is far from the best of the selection =s Get Slayers book of spells DVD though and watch jeffrey's nighthood, I've never giggled so much since dragon half XD

I replied to this in private message, but on second thoughts it I'm more irate than when I first replied, and I feel this should be out in the open.
Number one: do NOT make assumptions. I did not pick your post apart, taking you out of context at every turn. If you bothered to read it, you'd have seen that I was agreeing with you on many points.
Number two: it shows an attitude of putting one's hands over one's ears, saying whatever you like and ignoring anything else. Damn it, man, I wasn't even arguing with you. Yes, I can understand that there's no merit in reading a thread that DOES flame you sentence by sentence. I explained in PM that that WASN'T what mine was, and yet you still stubbornly refused to read it.
Number three: Fine, it doesn't really bother me all that much that you don't want to read something I've written, despite the arrogance of giving your opinion and deliberately ignoring those of others. What incenses me is comments like...

...for the reason that <b>(read the rest of this sentence, darnit. The reason is <i>not</i> the sentence itself)</b> that I did no such thing in my reply, and gave you several valid reasons why you dislike anime, and some suggestions of what you might well enjoy.
I'm not trying to convert you to anime worship. But, just like the NS newbie who joins a pro server and gets flamed to hell and back when he jumps in the command chair, a few bad experiences is not indicative of the game as a whole. It's that attitude I'm trying to fix.
Look, just go back and read it. Save everyone a lot of bashing their heads against a brick wall. It's the least you can do.
Heh, didn't notice his screen. I've never seen Nadia either...never took alot of interest in it. Gah...I need to speed up my anime viewing. I've sort of stopped watching it lately.

Alright.....that picture is starting to annoy me..........darn you and your challanges Inf!
Alright....the redhead next to Ayumi And Asuka............that can't be Mune-Mune, can it? I mean...she's got the red hair and Mune-Mune's hair has been known to change length, but Mune-Mune usually wears glasses and less clothing.....but the only other redhead I can think of that's not already in that picture is Mamimi, but that's the completely wrong haircolor........BLAST!!!!!!
[edit] And upon further inspection of the picture....that Rei looks more like Sayaka..........
And upon even more inspection.......I have discovered that Abenobashi is actually getting a release now..........WTH?!? Why don't I ever hear about this stuf?!? Oh........it was just last month.......ok[/edit]
Abenobashi Magical Shopping District FLCL Mahoramatic Automatic Maiden Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water Neon Genesis Evangelion Puchi Puri Yushi
Nowwwwww here's a much harder one.
1.) Name the manga this is parodying 2.) Name the series from which the characters in this parody come from
Those are the easy questions. For bonus points: 3.) Name the manga volume this page appeared in, in the original manga. 4.) Name the 3 characters in this picture.

The robot, the semi-love interest, and Hikaru/Hikari (sorry, haven't seen this for a long time) from FLCL.
I recognize the two in the back and the one to the right of the robot, but their names escape me.
I guess you were right. 3 of them totally escaped me.
Pen-Pen is in there too.

Mahoramatic Automatic Maiden
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water
Neon Genesis Evangelion
