Finally... > General Discussion
I like anime, do you like anime?
Il Palazzo:
Anime, live action, books, games. The way I see it, medium is of little importance as long as the story is good.
Aquizzar: Cowboy Beebop, Jin-roh(if a bit of angst does not make you nauseous). For female character try 'Guardian of the sacred spirit'(aka Moribito).
Oh, and Black Lagoon's female lead is quite interesting.
Asheron:
Watched a few episodes of Bleach because a friend forced me. Next to that, nothing.
I don't really like anime. There's something about it that I don't get I suppose.
Okenido:

Among my various criticisms of anime is that never once have I seen an anime with a strong male character. Strong as in personality and psychology that is. As you can probably guess from my avatar, I respect a guy who takes whatever's dished to him. Male characters in anime are almost exclusively whiny milksops, aloof bitches, or the rare super-macho comic relief. For that matter, I like to see female characters with the same qualities, but even they're pretty few and far between. The Japanese don't seem to find good-humored endurance a laudable trait.
One of the few animes I have enjoyed was Ghost in the Shell (and not just the only imported one). As an example to my point, my favorite character was... Bato? Vato? The guy with bottlecaps for eyes, however you spell his name. But even he had a melancholy to him (like the rest of the show) that deflated the rest of his characterization and left him kind of vacant.

You want a manly character? oh, then i DEFINITELY suggest Berserk. Yep, that should be right up your alley, it is one of my favorites by far.

Seconded. It's safe to say Guts is easily the Japanese Ash, right down to chiseling his hand off after it gets trapped in a demon's mouth, and replacing it with an arm cannon.

Cowboy Beebop, Claymore, Berserk...
Although in general anime pretty much is one of the more horrible things crawling in the bowels of Internet, not disscussing it would be better.
Smart people just mention how Cowboy Beebop is kinda good and those that enjoy dull experience list Bleach or Naruto.
