RK is great, I love it. Great story and interesting characters. Naruto is also very good, although the fanboyism is really starting to annoy me. Yaoi? No. Anybody brings it up on this site, I'm going Super Saiyan on them.

Well, at least Yaoi is better and more mature than its counterpart, YURI.

And Loveless isn't Yaoi; it's Shonen-ai... A genre, which I believe as a rule, does NOT include sex scenes.

But I like Shojo anyway, heheh... Card Captor Sakura! Even though parts would seem a little O.o, it's still a VERY good anime/manga series, by the all-female team CLAMP.

Also... Angel Sanctuary, try that at least for a moment... For the more mature crowd, from what I've heard about it...

Fanboyism pisses me off to no end.

And any Yaoi, and I'll go crazy on them with you, Shika.

Uh... Loveless is pretty deep. It's shallow to say that all manga/anime from a certain genre are crap. Yes, a lot of yaoi manga are made to arouse. Shounen-ai is deeper and not as hardcore. It's mostly kisses or hugs, and... I dunno, it doesn't seem like something to get aroused over.

Though... I hate it when people make really awkward pairings, especially shounen-ai pairings. (I saw Epona turned male and human and Link. Ugh... -shudder-)

darkphantomime

In the 'american' 'dub' of Cardcaptors, all the ahem... stuff relating to any type of love was edited out... And hence, a lot of plot with it, the characters, leaving a lot of plot holes, and the thing as a whole... VERY much watered down. In the original, it is no exaggeration to say that everyone was in love with everyone else... Heh... Ten year old Sakura had a crush that was the centerpoint of the first season of the anime and...

I blame Melvana for destroying Card Captor Sakura. It is NOT a show for teenaged males. It was a show for ahem... girls.

I read the first volume of Rurouni Kenshin and didn't like it. I know everyone disagrees but I thought it was dull. It probably gets better but the first volume gave me no reason to keep reading.

And I agree with Fisk, you cant judge say it's awful because I am sure you haven't read all the shounen-ai out there. Loveless is very deep, it's got a great story in my opinion.

Just because you say something is bad, it doesn't mean it is. It's an opinion, not fact.

darkphantomime

To be honest, I was a bit slow on the first volume. But hey, it's better than the FANBOYISM of a certain other anime.

Gamefreak

I haven't brought it up, but we're waaaay off topic.

darkphantomime

Well, we can't really move back to the original idea of the topic, as the question and debates have already been answered. So we're moving on to discussing the course of anime in general.

TRINITY BLOOD

Mysterious F.

The only fanboy/fangirl in this entire site for Naruto is SGN, and that has already been established.

Fishalicious

I'm a fangirl of Zelda, it just goes unnoticed being on Zelda forums.

... oh wait, you said for Naruto. XD; Oops.
