Your opinion on anime

[Ixidor]

One of my friends reccomended love hina to me. She isn't always that trustworthy, so what do you other people think about it, and whats the plot line, and I need to know some other good animes. Thanks

 

[armed2010]

Its good, watch it.

I've seen about half of Love Hina. It's pretty good from what I've seen and heard sofar. Though I've been told the manga is much better. Though it is very fanservicy at times... if you don't like that kind of thing, I would avoid Love Hina.

Other good animes:
Azumanga Diaoh
Great Teacher Onizuka
Digi Charat
Wolf's Rain
Tenchi (it's a classic everyone loves Tenchi!)
Ranma 1/2 (another classic)
Ah My Goddess (another classic)

 

[Lucent]

I agree. The manga is much better than the anime. And both are a little heavy on the side of fanservice.

As far as other anime's not mentioned:
Kino's Journey
Haibane Renmei
Last Exile
Martian Successor Nadesico (classic)

 

[night2day]

And need this one be said? Rouroni Kenshin!

 

[seebs]

I enjoy what I've seen of it. It's got some definite art, and a certain amount of surrealism. Liked it so far.

 

[malkin]

I've seen some, and I didn't like it due to the fanservice and the 'harem' theme.

Regarding anime in general it's best to be informed and discerning about any series. Just like any other type of television programming or films, anime has a wide range of themes and story-lines among them. Some safe for children. Some may even be too graphic and explicit for adults. (Or, as some have already termed...geared towards "fan-service".)

Some go off the deep-end and say all anime is bad. While others will claim from the other side of the spectrum all of it should be acceptable. Personally, I feel neither is correct. However, since the West is more accustomed to seeing cartoons "for kids" until recently more caution and discernment should be taken into account.

As for Love Hina I didn't read but a portion of a magna online somewhere. But it wasn't anything I found interesting. One guy with a bunch of girls does sound like a harem though.

Well, the plot is actually more like the old Jerry Lewis movie, THE LADIES MAN, in which a nebbish gets a job as custodian in an all female dormitory. Keitaro is only in love with Naru, but doesn't know if she is the girl he promised to go to Tokyo Universoity with when he was 5 years old (trust me, folks, this makes a lot more sense in the actual manga). The other girls view him more as a brother than a potential boyfriend (though there are a few "potential boyfriend" moments before they band together and decide to kaie sure he ends up with Naru).

So, a harum in the literal sense? No. In the figurative sense of one guy and a plethora of attractive young women, yes.

 

[Kagalli]

I like Rouroni Kenshin. Some other good ones are Psychoteers, Rivelin, and Gundam Seed.

 

[Dracil]

The anime was fun when I watched. Megumi Hayashibara is probably the main draw for me (she plays the aunt), and does the intro song. In the past, her roles have tend to be super powerful heroines, like Lina Inverse from Slayers, Pai from 3x3 Eyes, female Ranma in Ranma 1/2, etc.

 

[eaglex]

I love anime . just wish I could draw any good but, I can't. Ialso love japanese cartoons that is unknow or haen't been seen here for a long time . Like HONEY ,HONEY I am in love with her . Just to bad that she's fiction(?).

 

[MooTipping]

Love Hina rocks....anime rocks in general, so funny. You should watch Hellsing and FLCL too.

 

[mingamonster]

princess mononoke, spirited away and my neighbor totoro are the best anime movies

 

[Unity of the brethren]

I agree anime rocks.

 

[night2day]

I would agree some anime rocks. Of course, I'm picky what anime I watch too.

 

[SAint Mark]

I enjoyed Love Hina and a lot of my friends did too. A bit heavy on the fanservice though and the humor does get rather repetative. But it's still enjoyable.

Another anime you should watch:

Rurouni Kenshin (legendary)
