Never Introduced Myself

Hello everyone I have joined this forum since over half a year ago and never really introduced myself. My name is Chris and I have been watching anime for what seems like most of my life. For those interested in what I have watched here is my list http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Overlord3k. My favorite anime for a long time has been One Piece and now don't judge me it is just my personal preference.

If an anime doesn't really interest me or I see I won't like it that much I normally just not watch it or I drop it. It is one of the reason why I normally don't rate anime anything below a 5 which I see no point in doing because I see no reason to watch something I don't like.

I normally try to help out other people when they ask recommendations. Mine might not be the best out there but they are those which I notice people seem to like if they like something else including myself.

Thanks for reading this hopefully we get along and can be friends.

One anime I would recommend to anyone who has not watched it is Great Teacher Onizuka which is one of my old time favorites.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with watching One Piece O_o you'd be surprised how many people watch it (myself included) ... however, not to sound rude, but just because you don't rate an anime with "5 stars" doesn't mean you should immediately drop it. A lot of anime I've watched have had numerous flaws (such as poor artwork, animation, plot or even voice acting) but I have still watched them because I enjoyed watching them, rather than nitpicking at the bad points.

That's just my opinion xD but I can't really force it on you. It's just an opinion after all.

So, welcome to the forum, even though you've been here since last year. I guess I don't need to go through the whole "Read the rules" nonsense then, do I? ;]

Thanks and that is a lot of Gil you have there.

Yeah I know a lot of people watch One Piece but there are those that tend to just think that anyone who likes the top 3 are tards or something stupid like that.

Well I don't immediately drop it I tend to give it a chance especially if other people tell me it is good or it gets better. And for me 5 stars or maybe 4 stars would be the lowest I would rate an anime and it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it but I believed it was decent. I have some friends who won't give shows like Kaiji or One Outs a try because of the art while they are some of my favorite anime.

Most recently I have been getting more interested in manga and have been trying to read some interesting ones out there.

And yea I pretty much know all the forum rules out there haha.

My brother and I used to watch ONE PIECE all the time! =) It's one of my brother favorites, that's for sure. He made me hunt down the GC One Piece fighting game for him, which was really fun to play!

Anyway, welcome! I'm Saphira. It's nice to meet you!

<3 Saphira

Hi there and welcome to the forum :D

Only because I've been round ... 7 years? Man, I just realised how long I've been on the site... /spaceout

But yeah, don't worry about the Gil. :P

And as for anime ... again, not taking anything from you or forcing my opinion, but I wouldn't really consider One Piece to be truly 5-star material. The problem is not the storyline itself, or the animation, or any of that stuff. The problem, unfortunately, is the series contains a -lot- of filler, and there have been points where it has taken literally 10 episodes for the cast to, say, walk down a corridor or something. However, I suppose since One Piece is a hugely ongoing series that the filler often can't be helped.
The reason I still watch One Piece is because I'm willing the overlook the filler for the deeper plot and, of course, the fights that, when you take all the stalling out, are actually quite incredible. Also it's got what I consider to be the funniest anime moment in one of the Enies Lobby arc episodes.

.... ouch, long-winded reply. x_X sorry.

That's just what I think, anyway. I hold a few other anime in higher regard than that (Outlaw Star, for example, is my favourite O_o) ... never heard of Kaiji or One Outs. I tend not to watch recent anime unless I've been -told- to watch them by people. I think the most recent anime I've watched is TTGL (one of those anime you have to ignore the fanservice in) and Soul Eater. I'm actually curious if your opinion on those is of any high note or not. o.o

hey welcome to AF! I hope you enjoy your time here! if you have any questions feel free to ask. everyone is usually nice here, so don't hesitate to talk to them! see you around =D

Well the anime of One Piece I wouldn't consider 5 star either mostly because of the fillers but the manga I myself would. Then again I have not read that much manga. Ohh btw I was talking out of 10 and at the moment I have One Piece anime at a 9.

Yea I really enjoyed Gurren Lagann back when I first watched it especially the 2nd movie it was really awesome. I always recommend it to people starting anime or looking for something new.
Soul Eater on the other hand I reached up to around episode 35 but dropped it because I heard bad stuff from the ending and I am planning on reading the manga

Outlaw Star is one of those I have been meaning to watch but have not had time too much anime too watch!!!

@SpeaR : Hi, and not to worry, I love Luffy too! One Piece is a good anime and you're awesome for watching it! :D


My Wi-Fi, it's gone out...

Ah, I see. :p

Yeah, the ending of Soul Eater is... well, a let-down. You should still watch it, because even still the build-up to the actual end of the anime is still pretty damn impressive, although of course the manga just keeps going and going and it's obviously far better o_o

And yes... go watch Outlaw Star. :p

Glad to see that you finally "took the step" in creating your very own introduction post @SpeaR . Well done, im proud of you!

High five!

And as Ranshiin said, there is nothing wrong with watching One Piece, there are alot of people just that.
So don't you worry about that anymore.

Yea I know but something about anime not following their manga counterparts always makes me not want to finish the anime itself. Maybe one day I will finish it and then read the manga.

@SuXrys haha thanks and yea I know also awesome another Gintama fan

@Digimon_Sommelier thanks xD

@.Miki~ thanks and is you avatar/sig the girl from Angel Beats?

I should point out that I am also a fan of Gintama.


It's also very rare that anime and manga follow the same plot/story/sequence of events. The reason for Soul Eater's anime deviating from the manga is pretty obvious, though ... although it's still a let-down.

Blah, now I wish I had the manga to read. >_>
