    Given its immense popularity, with the record for most copies sold of a single domestic volume (2,630,000) and 140,000,000 volumes sold in total, it is quite clear that its popularity has substantialy exceeded the overly-simple pidgeon hole of "younger teen".
    ... young-to-middle teens of both sexes?

    Presumably this is in Japan where it was kinda uncensored...

    It's a kids show, no need to be offended by that.

    That is what "domestic" means.

    Firstly, I am not offended by your comments. It would be quite ludicrous, extreme and above all illogical, to take a comment on a TV show as a personal offront to one's person.

    Secondly, I would argue that a show is defined by its audience. "One Piece", has both veiwingship and readership numbers to suggest that it is watched on a substantial level by a broad range of ages, enough to mean that it cannot be defined by its majority readership, which is likely to be "young teens", thus meaning it transcends labels such as "kids show".

    Thirdly, if you are about to argue that the content, such as fan service, shonen style action and themes, is designed in a way to appeal only to "young adults", meaning that it is thus a young adult show, then save yourself the bother. There are plenty of issues and themes, such as self-mutilation, suicide and political corruption to suggest that it’s designed to be enjoyed by a larger audience than that. These "adult" themes prove that is designed with more than the stated in audience in mind.

    3x3 Eyes - pure gold.

    One Piece, gave it a ten episode test to get past the irritating animation style and obnoxious protagonist, it didn't change. I know it's popular, presumably in the younger teen bracket.
    Might I suggest you try an issue or two of the Manga?

    I watched a few episodes of the anime, and hated it. It was annoying, irritating, I felt it was badly animated and I just didn't like it.

    The manga, however, I found to be really quite entertaining. But then I've only read the first three volumes.

    I may or may not get slated for this one, but I've gotta say that I think Fist Of The North star was utter garbage.

    Try to fail less. You probably only saw the movie too.

    Yup. Utter garbage. A group of us sat through that just laughing at the ****ness. Legend of the Overfiend is not 'mature' animation at all - it is just pointless, needlessly offensive and muddled. Awful stuff.

    I would have to disagree with you on Urotsukidoji. The reason why the films appear all scrambled is because they are made out of pieces of the more complete Japanese collection. Some of the scenes in it are responsible for the dev of more contemporary Japanese anime. I was watching a documentary and many famous anime directors looked at urotsukidoji for inspiration. It pushed new boundaries and even though it is dated and the American release version is a complete mess, I would still appreciate its presence in the anime community. Look up some info on the creator and you will realise what a powerful role he played in freeing the constraints of an incredibly bound society.

    And guys, don't be dissing Yu-Gi-Oh. After all, without it we wouldn't have the Abridged Series :D(same goes for Naruto!)


    I have to say im very fond of yu-gi-oh, I generally fast forward the duels, 20 mins of card playing is bit much. I never watched it properly until i saw the abridged version, but now i cant get enough! Hurrah for Dan Green!


    as for hating... Yu-gi-oh GX is pretty annoying, though that might be just the english dub.

    Yu-Gi-Oh, the American dub.

    :eek:

    Avoid it as well. And Yu-Gi-Oh: GX...

    *sniggers*

    What a load of crap.

    Master of the Universe


    I was really let down by Tales from Earthsea. Waited two hours for something to happen and then the film ended. I've never wanted to turn off a ghibli film half way through. Actually had to force myself to watch it until the end.

    Let's just hope Miyazaki refuses to let Goro make any more films :)

    And as I have said elsewhere, the first chapter of the Overfiend series is actually very good. You just need to watch it in it's unedited OAV form and not that early 90s MANGA video spliced together rubbish.

    Also, +1 for Elfen Lied being brilliant. I really don't know how anyone could dislike that series.

    It has its moments, I laughed for all the wrong reasons like when at one point suddenly he's sleeping with 4 or 5 different girls and having threesomes... the final episode was awesome, he had to die.

    My first post :)

    Urotsukidoji is awful to watch, Its always been my most hated,

    Its whole 'story' could have been better crammed into in 15-minute hentai vid. Which would probably have been be more appealing !


    I actually used to hate Ultimate Teacher'' but now its one of my favourites

    Dragonball Z! Watched it once... What a joke!
    Hahaha I knew I would see this come up, I wouldn't say I hated it, because as a kid I grew up with it so I have some fond memories.

    As for my most hated? Well that's a hard one, probably Flame of Recca, it may not of been bad but I couldn't get into it and as a result it put me off anime for a long time.
