I must say that I am not a big fan of anime. Although I do watch a great many of them on TV and on DVD. DBZ has used the same story format since the beginning, as have most anime. It's sad. Gundamwing just gets on my nerves. I can’t stand the over righteous bull shit and the never ending jap obsession with 'battles.' I think at most that there are three maybe four different story formats for anime...they are over used and relay too heavy on the watchers ignorance and willingness to watch over plotted storylines. even Akira (i cant wait to be flamed for this one) and Ghost In The Shell use the same formats that DBZ, GW, GiantRobo, molldiver (- not sure about the name of the last one, I only had the dvd for a few hours,) and a shit load of other series that i watched.
I would rather read the original Manga, then sit and watch a half hour of badly written dribble.
Some anime is good, some is funny, some is even thoughtful, but most is utter crap. Not many good scripts come out of Japan. There are writers out there in Japan who are never heard. They are the good ones. The people who commision cartoons in Japan would rather use the same old crap writing formulas and formats then go with some thing new.
Why take the risk?
If you don't believe me watch a few anime... not just DBZ because that doesn’t cut it... and take note of the story structure. You will see what I mean.
Oh yeah. one last thing. If like GW and other anime. Go to your local comic book store and order some of the Manga... Its better to read then watch.
WWE sucks the big one.

You are right. And thats what i been trying to tell everyone. Its sucks cause they use the same storyline over and oevr again.
Except I disagree with you about the WWE. WWE is not meant to have a good storyline. Its tehre to entertain people. All those wrestlers in WWE is very athletic and are good entertainers. Not only that they take alot of pain in what they do. The reason why i chose WWE over DBZ is because well I chose WWE over anything. Actaully I choose Anything that deals with Reality over anything.
For example I rather choose to watch A basketball game then to watch a cartoon. Or I rather Lifted weights then read a comic book. I rather play basketball then playing a videogame and pretending to be Kobe Bryant and playing basketball. I choose Reality > non reality stuff. Non- Fiction > Fiction. Except when it comes down to the Simpsons adn South Park or Renegade and some other videogames.

I agree... your argument is fair and balanced. I retract my statement about WWE. I don’t like it but I shouldn’t have judged WWE to my own dislikes. I suppose if it wasn’t any good it would have been canceled long ago... I deal more with animated and written fiction.
Ok... can we please send this thread in a better direction.
Like what shows are people basing there opinions and arguments about. I have seen a shit load of anime over the years dbz/gw aside. What has every body seen?
And what did they think?

What I'm doing iws I'm laughing at what youa re saying. Do you even know what you said man. You're comparing a CARTOON to REALITY. Seriously man. Are you so caught up in a fantasy that you can't tell cartoon from Reality. Keep telling you can't compare the two. And If you did reality always wins.
