I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.

    It looks good, except that the original will still always be the best (in my opinion). I don’t think I like the style done for Sins, but meh. I guess I just am use to the Casshern:Robot Hunter OVA (and not the TV series Shinzo Ningen:Casshern) since that’s what I will always picture when someone yells, “CASSHERN!”

    If they did the new series with the same great art form,then that would be awesome. I just think that it looks like crap and not enough detail.

    Since when did his eyes glow green, and look like a little emo kid that had his lollypop taken away, he use to be so bad ass.
