7. Who is more abhorrant: Mary Sue, Shinji, or Relena?
8. Sailor Moon: delicate multilayered romance with many mature themes or gigantic serial toy commercial for 6-12 year-old girls and chubby 40-something fanboys who never leave their homes?

1. Either, but I like dubbed. My attention gets pulled away from the tv too much to do subs all the time.
2. Animation made in Japan.
3. Uh, yeah. A better question would have been, Would making out with one of the Sailor Stars while in disguise be gay?
4. RahXephon. Like the dude said, Eva is so over rated. Gundam franchise. A banana.
5. No, no, and again, no. I'm a mother and that's just wrong.
6. It's okay, but not Earth shattering.
7. umm... not sure.
8. Multilayered romance and junk.
9. Both.
10. I'm all into the Hentai. Call me a pervert, I don't care.

Then you're probably not going to be happy when I say it's one of the most influential anime ever. Sorry but that's just how it is.

1. Subtitled except for REALLY kiddie shows aimed at infants who can't read subs yet.
2. Japanese cartoon. Usually accepted as something aimed more at all age categories as opposed to the cartoons we have.
3. Yes.
4. NGE
5. Loli/shota should be illegal although I have to say it's much better than the real thing.
6. Neither.
7. Mary Sue.
8. Normal series for little girls.
9. Neither.
10. Guys like girls getting it on, I suppose it's only natural that girls might like the same thing for boys. That and the fact homosexuality is something that has existed for a long time and is nothing special.

Are you doing this so we can close down all future topics about these subjects?

Answer and discuss.

1. Dub or Sub? SUB! Because we all know there aren't many talented voice actors in American.

2. Define "anime": Made in Japan

3. (for guys) - Would making out with girltype Ranma be gay? Sexy-no-Jutsu Naruto? Girl type ranma, not gay. Sexy-no-Jutsu, gay.

4. Which is better? Neon Genesis Evangelion or RahXephon? Neon Genesis Evangelion or the Gundam franchise? Neon Genesis Evangelion or a banana?

I'll just go with NGE, since I haven't seen RahXephon before, and few Gundam franchises. But overall I rather have a banana.

5. Lolicon/Shotacon - kiddie porn that should be illegal or an expression of freedom of speech that must be protected?

Yeah...that gots to go.

6. Evangelion: pretentious, under-animated crap or "The greatest anime ever made"?

If I absolutely have to choose one, I guess it's "The greatest anime ever made"

7. Who is more abhorrant: Mary Sue, Shinji, or Relena?

Mary Sue

8. Sailor Moon: delicate multilayered romance with many mature themes or gigantic serial toy commercial for 6-12 year-old girls and chubby 40-something fanboys who never leave their homes?

Delicate multilayered romance

9. Ah! Megami-sama/Oh! My Goddess: romantic or sexist?

Neither. It's the greatest anime ever made!

10. For boys: How do you feel about Boy's Love/yaoi?

One bullet between Yaoi and Loli/Shotacon, Yaoi gets it. And I'll pistol whip Yaoi afterwards.

1. Dub or Sub? Sub, the way it was meant to be.
2. Define "anime": anime is anime...i cannot quantify it...but just slaping Made in Japan is too easy an answer, its more than that...
3. (for guys) - Would making out with girltype Ranma be gay? Sexy-no-Jutsu Naruto? ok i'll admit i have no clue what this means...but i'll take straight any day of the week...
4. Which is better? Neon Genesis Evangelion or RahXephon? RahXephon, lack of ultrawhiny kid makes a difference
Neon Genesis Evangelion or the Gundam franchise? Gundam is all reaching in its span, its been here longer, and well no ultrawhiny kids. some whine but not nearly as much and my fav. is 08th MS team
Neon Genesis Evangelion or a banana? NGE it can kick a** and leave you confused, the banana is too easy to figure out...
5. Lolicon/Shotacon - kiddie porn that should be illegal or an expression of freedom of speech that must be protected?that is some sick *hit and should be whiped off the face of the planet...teens ok, but kiddie crap...hell no...
6. Evangelion: pretentious, under-animated crap or "The greatest anime ever made"? its not crap, and it changed the face of Anime...its great but i have seen better...
7. Who is more abhorrant: Mary Sue, Shinji, or Relena? dont know who those other two are so i cant realy compare them...
8. Sailor Moon: delicate multilayered romance with many mature themes or gigantic serial toy commercial for 6-12 year-old girls and chubby 40-something fanboys who never leave their homes? i vote for the second one...i knew someone that matches that fanboy description, i dont talk to him anymore...he got way weird...
9. Ah! Megami-sama/Oh! My Goddess: romantic or sexist?romance, i like that show...
10. For boys: How do you feel about Boy's Love/yaoi? eck, i'd rather watch something from Hanna Barbera than that...nope dont like Yaoi at all...

Answer and discuss.

1. I usually go for Dubs, since it's easier, and even though the voice are quite bad, I understanding it makes it better. Sometimes the japanese subs put in phrases or thing a person such as myself couldn't dream of understanding until ten years later.
2. Anime- The japanese term for animation.
3. [Naruto Sexy-no-Justu example] I'd say it's only gay if they figured out it was Naruto and not a girl. hah.
4. I go with Gundam. I've seen so much of it and not enough of the others So I say it's superior.
5. I haven't seen it. But I'd go with freedom of speech or induviduality. Yeah.
6. Evangelion isn't the best, but it isn't the worst. Simple enough. It's a matter of opinion.
7. I have no clue what "Abhorrant" means. I'll edit it later if I read the definition somewhere.
8. Serial Toy Commericals.
9. I'd have to go with a Romantic Sexist genre.
10. I don't mind Yaoi at all. I don't read it, but it can't be that bad.
