Not eveyone watches anime to get off on the girls you know. There plenty of that rivals anything on American TV and some of it's pure art.

Good question. Yet they do. Perhaps it's a mental catalyst of some kind. Sometimes there is such a thing as better than life.

Why are mecha just so damn cool?

HTF should I know? They're big, they're powerful, they show a unique POV (the pilot and his machie working together), they step on stuff (yesssssss :twisted: ) and besides, I'd rather pilot a mecha than a tank any day.

1. Because she's a lady and thus puts more emotion into her music?
2. Who's he? Enlighten I.R.
3. Beats me. Everything she's done that I've seen rox0r. Maybe it's just that soothing dulcet voice that makes you go "ahhhhhh".

Because they're weedy little runts with inferiority complexes?

It's cute. And sexy. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

No seriously, I'm not too sure, but school uniforms connote youth and since most Asian men consider being able to bang a young chick the height of virility, they go after them.

I, howver prefer skin-tight outfits...

Shinchiro is the creator of Cowboy Bebop!

My apologies, my lady. Due to my warped childhood I have not yet watched the Cowboy Bebop anime, though I have read the comic. So, to answer your question:

Yes, he IS a genius. He thinks of all these cool and innovative characters (Me like Faye), and then a storyline that keeps them together and enetertains the masses. Genius material.

Oh, I know. Some do, however, and that's just bizarre.

My next question:

Why do none of the Japanese people in the shows have black hair?

What the fuck is up with that bigass tear/sweat drop that appears over the heads of characters?

I've caught exactly one episode of Cowboy Bebop, when I was at a my cousin's house, on Adult Swim.

It was, incidentally, the very, very last episode.

For flavour. And some anime characters DO have black hair. Motoko Aoyama for one. Shinobu Maehara. Maya Ibuki.

Japanese IRL don't have black hair either. Go into a street and you'll see every colour BUT black on young people's heads, I freaking swear.

Supposed to represent anxiety in trying to think of some solution. I'm not too sure myself, but it's pretty hilarious.

Yeah, I noticed that whilst living there. Some sort of cultural thing, I guess. Perhaps they're all fed up with black hair.

Tenchi has black hair, as to all of the normal earth dwellers. And that chick on Inuyasha.

There is a reason it's called the end. One does not start at the end and work back towards the beginning.

Also, the last few episodes have all the fun stuff happens and it basically ruins the rest for you because nowhere in the rest of the story will you find anything as intetresting as the last episode.

That;s just IMO of course.

Pretty much, yeah.
