How many episodes of Gilgamesh did you watch? 1? Because I thought Gilgamesh was practically a masterpiece in the ranks and sensibilities of Evangelion. It has a brilliant story, a very original look (even if the animation does look low budget AT TIMES), really atmospheric music, and very memorable characters. It also has a much more adult tone to it, which was quite enjoyable. I also thought that the ending was quite effective- if you watched the whole thing, did you watch past the credits of the final episode?....heh heh heh. Pick, I hope you enjoy Gilgamesh, but I warn you that it is quite dark

Anyway, If it's so good then enlighten me of what occurs later because as it stands I don't see this show as making any sense. |

Exactly what is wrong with YuGiOh!?
Just because it's not aimed toward +13 year olds it doesnt' make it a bad show. Why does it suck? It's not your target audience? It deals with cards? It comes after Pokemon? C'mon. The story is even pretty good, amazingly. An Ancient Power that is used to save the world. HAH where have we heard that story from? that all you people rave the show kicks ass from? Flame of Recca Escaflowne Ittekiosen Some others you can prove me wrong. but the premise of an ancient power saving the world isn't new. If any of you actually bothered to watch more then 10 episodes of YuGiOh. You'll see that YuGi's wins are rather bullshit and interesting at the same time. All the time it's rather original |

i LOVE Tenjou Tenge...i don't understand how any man between the ages of 13 and 30 can't like it...watch it for the action like you should, and the fanservice is MINISCULE compared to: 1) the manga, 2) Ikkitousen
Yu Gi Oh, however, can never redeem itself in my eyes. "An ancient power used to control the world?" sorry i've heard that one a dozen times over, and many times with better execution of plot and less cookie cutter characters (Yugi was designed as a corporate logo, Kaiba's personality can be seen in dozens of anime characters from dozens of genres, even shoujo anime features characters with his personality type) and the method of winning isn't original, it's contrived. The only reason to watch the show is to see what kind of contrived technique he'll come up with next, and most of the time you know the main character will win (he loses, what, 2, 3, maybe 4 times? in over 100 episodes with at least that many battles?) plus you really could do the show with cardboard cut outs...the art looks detailed because the characters don't have to move much i'm not basing this on nothing, i've seen the show. the manga that i've read couldn't hold my attention and i STILL say it was better and yes, i am not part of the show's target demographic, but that by no means denies me the right to strongly dislike this show |

NEVER Base a rating on who's the show's aiming toward. Like Dumbo the cartoon movie from Disney. It's not aimed toward Adults, but at Kids, but still it's a GREAT movie. I'm just sick of people that hate shows just because they claim "it's gay, and looks so childish". My pet Peeve |

However, you completely ignored every complaint Kyuven had without even addressing them. You blamed Kyuven's dislike of the show on the 'target audience' thing, and just ignored every valid point brought to the table. Some people hate shows simply because it seems to be "cool" to hate that show, other people might hate the same show but have actual reasons for disliking it. Don't automatically assume everyone fits into the former category. I personally have no opinoion on the show because I've not seen it.

Target Audience? I'm not talking of the censored american version, the JAPANESE version....let me say it AGAIN so a dumb fuck like you can understand, the JAPANESE version is a VERY dark show, i agree that the first saga sucks (which includes what you saw you idiot...), but it is one of those shows you have to stick with for it to get good (apparently you have the patience of a 3 year old so icna't blame you for not liking it). If you want a REAL taste of what yugioh was MENT to be go take a peak at the manga in your local book store, you MAY be supprised, it was NOT really suitable for children in the US...hience target audience is NOT 12- year old kids.... Power to save the world? If you saw the REAL plot, you find out the power is not a power that SAVES the world, but basically they are using the power of the UNDERWORLD (evil powers..also SLIGHTLY changed in the US version....ok...maybe COMPLETELY changed... )... |

DBZ anime may suck but the manga is pretty revolutionary though I lost interest after the whole Cell saga.. ;D
Hmm, the worst is Mouse in my opinion. Pointless crap, didn't have any remorse when I deleted it off my HDD and I didn't bother to burn it to CDs either. Other honorable mentions are The End of Evangelion which in my opinion, attempts to be philosophical and fails horribly at that turning the whole OVA into some messy direction-less mind breaker and Witch Hunter Robin which mysteriously turns very boring ep13 onwards. I was dissapointed as the first half of the series was decent actually.. EDIT: I just realized I've bumped a dead thread. O_o My apologies.. |
