>>3422 Bleach is very much aimed at teenagers. I started watching as a teenager but carried on because I didn't want to miss what happened, yet as it went on and on I slowly became more aware of how awful it is. Thank god it's finished.
Those "anime" shows you guys watch must have really good plots. I can't imagine you'd be watching them just because they include cute drawings of little girls. Can't be because most of you have several strange fetishes involving young women. Nope, not at all.
I actually had an anime day with a couple of schoolfriends yesterday, we chain-watched Eden of the East and both the follow-up movies. It's quite good, actually. It got a lot of hype on 7chan when it first came out but I never got around to watching it.
These lists are handy for me as I am not clued up on Japanese exported culture but I have enjoyed some of what I've seen in anime or manga. I don't know anyone personally that could advise me on it and my work colleagues would probably think this topic on a par with claiming I'd been abducted by aliens, they'd be so out of touch with it.
I know everyone's opnions are differnt, but I'm usually willing to persevere with an episode or two of a series or a good chunk of a film before making any judgements if someone puts it forward as a firm favourite.
