I suppose it depends what you watch but the vast majority of anime caters towards a specific demographic so I'd disagree that there's lots of female gaze. But us ladies only have the catered choice of BL or shoujo shows which are few and far between compared to everything else. Fanservice is...

I may be in the minority here but fanservice which relies on wobbly boob physics and panty shots does bother me. It is immature and pandering. Also because it is culturally accepted in Japan (which it shouldn't be), it is expected to a degree. Of course, I can watch an anime with bits of...

Royal Space Force: Wings of Honneamise Collector's Combi Pack. It's rare that I buy anime now. My last purchase to compare was Perfect Blue Collector's Combi Pack. I remember watching Wings of Honneamise when it was broadcast on BBC2 aeons ago. So I'm looking forward to watching it soon and...

Hi, If anyone happens to own: Blue Sonnet Parts 1 & 2 VHS (Manga Dub) I'd be interested in buying it. PM me if you do. Thanks!

Even if someone else has said the exact same thing, it doesn't mean that your perspective doesn't offer something new. If anything, it means that others has reached the same conclusion but may have gone through a different journey to get to it. Opinions means more debate and discussion which...

Yes, I watched the dub and I thought it was pretty good (minus the singing). But the music itself is still terrible. Just not a fan of aged grunge music with generic dance beats. Also agree with you there about Linna's attraction. There were definite hints that Linna was more than interested in...

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040: Episodes 22-26 (End) Well...where do I start? Firstly, the episode with the refugees could have been completely omitted. Why add more characters we don't care about? Then, all Knight Sabers apart from Linna are paired up which makes Linna, 'more expendable' in her...

:D You mean Syllia? I do agree with you AF, they ruined her stoicness and replaced it with episodes of mania. Although from a plot perspective it does make sense. I just think the writers could have implemented it better. I'll let you know how I enjoy the rest of the episodes!

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040: Episodes 17-21 Major spoilers below (so don't read unless you have watched the series up to this point!) Not really feeling Galatea as an antagonist. She has barely has any development bar being the 'seed' from Sylia's brain. She matures into an adult rather...

Not having a particular go at you Rui, but I find an apathetic attitude towards politics disheartening. I can see why this might be the case with some lewd politicians; cheating, scamming and etc. But party policies directly affect everyone. What can be more important? So by not voting, it is...

After seeing what they've done to Sailor Moon with the new Crystal series, I'd stick to the original. In all fairness, anime that are unfinished should have the chance to be remade but only if the budget is adequate and care is put into the animation.

It's always nice to hear other opinions! Some areas have improved from the original OVA like the character development. I like Linna more as a character, she is the most realistic and level-headed member. Other changes, like Sylia's personality, is a bit much. There's a bit too much focus on...

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 - Episodes 13-16 Suddenlythe main enemy, Galatea, appears out of nowhere without much build-up. I thought the story was going well until that point. I'll finish the series anyway, in case the main plot improves.

And you have missed the point of the discussion completely. For your information, I am not part of any anime club, I was using it as an example to open up the debate. The discussion topic is anime inaccessible for those on lower income? Not whether I can afford to keep up with rich students...

There have been some good examples how anime has been getting cheaper and is affordable to an extent. But it really isn't an affordable hobby for low income in my opinion. Do I need to be convinced that it is? I feel this may verge into a political debate if I'm not careful. Accessibility...

I disagree with your point that they should go to the local library. Not all free access PCs allow streaming capabilities for example. It may cost money to get to the library in the first place. So, anime quickly becomes an experience which is costly and becomes inaccessible for the lowest...

An interesting range of responses (even if most of you disagree!) Yes, this is what I'm really talking about. It's not simply the case of 'I can't afford anime therefore I should not watch any at all'. I'm saying that those with high income have a better experience and can get involved more...

I thought that this would be a great topic to open up some debate. I'm a mature student of nearly 30 years of age, I have a part-time job, pay extortionate rent etc. In other words, I am pretty poor as my income is extremely limited and most goes on my rent (such is life). When I first joined...

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040: Episodes 9-12 Highlight was whenLinna decides to reject her male suitor and runs back to Tokyo help out Priss. I do love a bit of subtext.

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040: Episodes 5-8 A bit too much focus on Mackie for my liking when it's supposed to be about the Knight Sabers (I'm tough to please).
