Well I guess that other thread got lost while changing servers. So here's a new one for Manga fans to say what films/series's they like, and people should watch!
I'll start it off.
Just come out in the UK recently is Princess Mononoke. WATCH IT! It's great!

It was called something like "Eldarado and the lost cities of Gold"? Seraching for it now on the web...
How about Thudercats? Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Ulysses, Battle of the Planets, Transformers, Go-Bots, Mask and Thuderbirds 2015?
Still not a scratch on Akira, which for it's age, is still one of the best.

Classic cartoons. Yes. But come on, Akira is far superior in every way.
I kind of lost it with Phileas Fogg, I think it dragged on for too long. What about that cartoon where those kids were looking for the lost City of Gold? Damn. Can't remember it's name... They had a flying golden eagle and everything. How cool is that?

I still don't get it.
I've tried watching them to see what the appeal is, but it just does nothing for me.

Firstly, you should understand that Manga is a traditional Japanese art from (Manga is also known as "Japanimation").
It is not usually made by Westerners, so there are probably a lot of things about it that we just don't "get". Think about Bollywood movies, a different culture with a different view on how movies should be made. Same with Manga.
Just because something is a "drawing", does this exclude it from violent or sexy content? If so, there are plenty of Art galleries that should be shut down. People say that kids will be confused by them. Well, yes they might, but responsible adults should not be confused, so they shouldn't sell an 18 rated "cartoon" to a 10 year old kid.
I sometimes catch an episode of Pokeman (hey, I'm bored, nothing else is on, what the hell). In Pokemon, they have some kind of pseudo-dominatrix baddie girl in skimpy skin tight outfits. Now, this is a prime-time kids cartoon, but the Japanese culture that produced it is liberal enough to make it, but Westerners feel threatened, like, it's eroding out society.
Surprisingly, pubic hair is something that Japanese censors will not tolerate. Strange that.

Patlabor, Apple Seed and Ghost in the Shell are pretty good, but I've got a feeling that it's more a secret market for cartoon porn.
I just don't get anime.
I bought Akira years ago when everyone raved about it, and I just don't get it.
Cartoons.
Violent, maybe. Sexy..er, these are drawings.
