[QUOTE="dasNdanger, post: 594512, member: 61962"] When I was like 5 years old I had a crush on the original Speed Racer. Broke my heart when mom told me he wasn't a real boy. :( I like some anime - like what I've seen of [I]Cowboy Bebop[/I] and [I]Fullmetal Alchemist[/I], and enjoyed the [I]Samurai 7 [/I]series and absolutely loved [I]Star Blazers[/I] (the American adaptation of [I]Space Battleship Yamato[/I]) back around 1980. Never got into reading manga, mostly because the series go on forever and with my ADD I prefer shorter stories rather than things that never seem to have an end. However, I can understand the popularity of both anime and manga. For one, unlike in American comics, the male characters aren't all muscle-bound and hard. Instead they're often quite pretty (I love pretty male characters*), and have emotions they aren't afraid to show. I think that plays well to young readers/watchers as well as certain older ones, too. And as far as the stories go, they are usually far more dramatic and complex than stories told in the western style. Even with some of the 'overacting' of anime characters I find that when I do start watching anime it quickly sucks me in, both the characters and the story. I just don't have the time necessary to devote to entire series at the moment. *See any character played by Johnny Depp ;) das [/QUOTE]
