Please, I was forced to watch Perfect Blue. Good story? Yes. Very Alfred Hitchcock-y.
Everything else was retarded. The drawing, the disproportionate women, the terrible ideas for outfits, even. Who are they marketing to? Obviously the 13-14 year olds without girlfriends.

But anyway, in response to your post:
1)By that I can only assume you mean DBZ which is ONE series. Judging an entire broad genre of animation by one particular man's (Akira Toryama) personal style is a rather bad way to judge things.
2)I KNOW YOU DID NOT JUST DISS CAT GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY HOLD ME BACK CUZ IF YOU DON'T I'MA HAVE TO FLAME THIS GUY INTO NEXT WEEK. You crossed the line man. You went too far.
3)I can tell you from a good deal of experience that most Hentai scenes are a good deal less than 20 minutes.

Perfect Blue has some extremely realistic character drawing in it. I'd figure you'd be more likely to say the women were diproportionate if they had extremely large breasts, which not a single Perfect Blue character did. The outfits were the kind of outfits that would be worn by actual Japanese Pop singers, so they were meant to convey realism, they weren't "retarded". And once again, I fail to see how you can make this last statement, how are they marketing to "13-24 year olds withought girlfriends"? There is no fanservice, and the subject matter and presentation are very mature. Are you just insulting this for the hell of it now?
yeah, big up da cowboy bebop massive... uhh? am I the only one that finds it easier to appreciate the amazing artwork when your watching sub, and not having to concentrate on all that writing?! I mean, you can follow the story, and its 'more original', but you not watching the picture half of the time! the pictures matter!
dont get me wrong, its nice to listen to the original voice acting once in a while, its just far less of a film, and far more of a book.
now, back to cowboy bebop, did i mention that series makes me cry? its way too deep for tv! every episode has such a level of quality its like a full on flim. The characters are well convincing, and no matter what else you may hear, spike speigal IS the definition of cool..
and whys everyone beating on DBZ...?! i used to kinda like that <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> its anime-soap opera, and i loves it..

I was going to post what I said earlier about blue hair, big eyes and enourmous mouths in anime because I thought I'd done so in another post, but apparently it's in this one. Nevertheless, I'll say it again: that's part of what makes it so good. If you don't think that makes it good: don't watch it. It isn't your thing.
