Cartoon Network to become "Network"

[Trainwreck2100]

Beast Machines ruined Beast Wars for me.

yes robot animals suck...especially robot animals that have to stay in animal form because of "energon exposure"....bunch of *****es if you ask me

you couldn't be more wrong if you ask me

You're a fool. G1 was typical 1980's camp. The only reason people still obsess over it is nostalgia. Beast Wars was better in every way imagineable.

And the Beast Wars characters weren't *****es. They didn't waste their time with humans like the dumb Autobots and Decepticons. True, there were a couple episode with primitive humans. But that was 2-3 episodes max. One was dumb but it never approached the stupidity of G1. Plus one of those was Dinobot's death which was the best episode of the series and better than Optimus Prime's death.

Go ahead, burn me at the stake. I don't care.

I said nothing about G1....I just said I didn't care for Beast Wars

Beast Wars was great to me. It didn't get really good until its second season, though. Its first season is certainly watchable, but seasons 2 and 3 are some of my favorite cartoons ever.

Yu Yu Hakushow was the ****!

 

[Ion Kenshin]

Yea I loved that show

 

[BlackLantern]

I got into the Ghost in the Shell series...really good...

Wrong, Sir! Wrong!

They should just change into the Anime network...at least then we'd have good animated series.

You're still wrong about Beast Wars. It's the best thing that has the name Transformers attached to it.

the issue with that is that different studios own the rights to different things....so it would be terribly expensive for any network to do...Comcast has an Anime OnDemand channel but there isnt much in there

Speak for yourself. I can't stand most of the anime I see.

I don't care for anime much but most of the good ones either never come to the US or are edited a lot and lost their quality.

Agreed

My problems with most anime come from how long-winded they tend to be and from the weird Japanese obsession with cuteness and silly humor. Generally, I don't find that humor funny at all and its ubiquitousness makes a lot of anime feel a bit samey to me, and the long-winded expositions in a lot of anime tend to make me lose interest. I was enjoying Death Note for a while until I realized that it had settled into a funk of L and what's-his-face playing a cerebral cat-and-mouse game where they explained everything they were doing two or three times.

That does get quite annoying. I do like shows like Full Metal Alchemist and Ghost in the SHell. Very little if any excessice cuteness and the like

My misgivings about it as well...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought it was just me who noticed, but apparently there's a term for it (I can't remember what it is now) and it's a well documented cultural thing in Japan.

 

[BlackLantern]

yes...Ghost in the Shell has a tiny bit of that with the Tachikomas(sp?) but thats about it

 

[Fresh Prince]

Yea I loved that show

Foreal?! What was your favorite season? Spirt gun! Loved when they said that.

Or have really really really bad dubbed voices

Why is that? Why won't they just show it the way it was made?

 

[BlackLantern]

because not everyone wants to read subtitles ALL THE TIME
