does the extremely long wait times in some of the animes bother you guys. i dont wanna sit around wasting my time listening to people scream. I just stopped liking it for some reason. Unknown to me of course. I just started picking out all the annoying aspects and i cant find many good ones. I think it's my selective watching. once i start to dislike something, my liking for it collapses.bionicle_lover

Heres the thing, I've only seen that in 2 animes. Dragonball and street fighter 2 v. Theres anime for everybody. Most people who bash it haven't seen but little exploration into what anime can be and is. Its not just one tone. Do yourself a favor and watch a show called hellsing, but not hellsing ultimate. You probably won't think the same of anime as a whole after that.

*And by the way, I'm very surprised this topic is so long. 16 pages of talk about anime on the wii forum. Kindof got hijacked too, since we're supposed to be talking about anime in games*

Yeah... that's a downside to anime...

I can't wait for an anime series where it takes someone 15 episodes to walk downto a store at the end of a street.

Maybe that in its own right is the problem with "Anime" in general. It's not that it is horrible bad, its more along the lines that there needs to be categorization. Anime is too vague a term for all that is out there. Truthfully, there are many forms of Anime, and to be honest I can't really be certain if I hate it with a passion. The term "Anime" needs to be broken down into smaller units of classification. I actually, have watched a few types of Anime that were okay, and I can say that because of the content; I would watch it again. But after I watched it, I didn't know what to call it, because I have this perception of what "Anime" is, and what it is not. Confusing I know..........you would get lost if you were able to walk around inside my head!! There's got to be a witness out there somewhere?

I too dislike it. It's hard to explain. It's alright for video games, but the tv shows can be kind of cheezy.

i dislike anime, but it's not the art style I hate it for. It's the high pitched voices and the stupid facial expressions that rly tick me off. ...I loved Trauma Center. I didn't even realize the art style until you mentioned it. I also liked Phoenix Wright for the Wii...

ive seen gundam a long time ago, probably 5 years or so. it was interesting but i was too young and i didnt care for storylines. ive seen dragonball but it got too long and did you notice that enemies get harder based on the distance of their planet from earth? we are so egocentric lol. One more thing is some of the fighting. i know its cool to some people but it's not my type of action i guess. I used to like it though. now as for the hellsing one, i dont think ill waste my time watching it (waste as in it probably wont change my mind so im not going to bother. im not saying its bad. from the praise ive been reading it'll probably have more action than some of those crap battle with huge things colliding and taking a few minutes to phase through each other)

Haha... of course, there has to be a filler somewhere in there.

Am I the only N fan that dislikes anime??? I would absolutely love trauma center if they gave it a more realistic style. I would like a surgery sim. I feel that it would also fit the more adult casual market very well. For instance, I could see my Mom/dad getting into a medical game, if it wasn't for that strange (imo) art design and rediculous soap opera dialogue. Not tryin to dis on fans of the series. It's just not my style. I do actually like the gameplay quite a bit.

Who else feels the same way?

skingus
i feel the same way. i'm just not into anime style at all.

I don't understand why its being argued on a Wii Forum when the Wii's top games anything except realistic.. And most have a cartoonish quality bordering these type of art styles.. Whats unusual too is from what little I have seen of anime, is their art design is vastly diverse.. There are plenty of very realistic looking artworks out there to the more exgerrated drawings.. Some of the best series of all time such as Final Fantasy has had a artstyle similar, yet its one of the top rated series out there.. IMO you would have to be childish and stupid (oh noes the graffics) to not play the game all because the art style is different.

By this logic alone you are infact cutting your self from Mario Galaxy, SSBB, and Metroid.. All top contenders that every one is waiting for the Wii which have art styles connected to "anime".

Smogtoe

totally agree, BTW anime is part of Japan's modern culture and Nintendo is a Japanese company, So expect more anime-style games.

and BTW for all those people who said that anime is childish. I'd like to ask them, have you watched "Death Note" "Berserker"or "Samurai X trust and betrayal" because these are definitely not for children and they won't understand the story anyway.

One more thing is that RPG games based on anime are the best like "Chrono trigger" "Super mario RPG (Snes)" and"Fire Emblem" and if you people happennot to like these games, I think you won't dislike "StreetFighter" which is anime based.

Uhh.....No....I can't say I agree with the "Mario, Metroid ......and SSB is Anime. There is another term for what they are, the Anime that I think of ....when someone says Anime....is Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon.....Pokemon, Digimon,.....Yu gi oh! ....you follow? A know I'm not narrow minded, I'm not an Anime guy! But I still can't classify those games as Anime! There is a distinct difference between Mario, Metroid, SSB, etc....and Dragon Ball Z, and Pokemon, etc! Yes, I know they are Japanese, but they are in a different genre. Now, games that you can compare and classify as Anime are the Turn based RPG's, and such.........and Mario RPG dosen't count,....is still not Anime. At least not in my book. If you know a better way to explain......lay it on me. And give proof if Mario and Metroid are Anime.......cause honestly I don't see the resemblence?!

you do know that pikachu is in brawl who is also from a anime called pokemon right?

i guess you won't be playing brawl then,oh well

I doubt he'll go as far as to not play SSB:B. I mean, who wouldn't? You'd have to be insane!
