Samurai Showdown the Motion Picture and Fushigi Yuugi: Eikoden.

With Samurai Showdown being only available in English and NO Japanese audio, put it together with a bad dub, and you get a trip back to Gamestop for a full refund.

Fushigi Yuugi: Eikoden was a bad way to end the entire series. Too short, annoying girl antagonist who is more annoying than Miaka ever was, and a silly story too.

I like Escaflowne the Movie though... Razz.

Completely agreed on both Samurai Showdown, and Fushigi Yuugi Tony. I, much like you took my copy of Samurai Showdown back for a full refund after watching it once.

Eikoden was just such a let down to such a good series. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and kept me from loving it for years to come.

As for Escaflowne, to each his own my friend. But in my opinion that movie is not even good as a stand alone movie with no series to tie it to. I saw it before I saw the series, and I still hated it then. Too much weird blah to me, but oh well. I'm weird, because I am one of the few people on these forums that actually likes Gundam Wing, so don't take my opinion too seriously Wink

For me it's the most recent anime i've seen and that would be Dragon Drive. There are no words to describe how just horribly bad this anime is.

In defence of Evangelion, one of my personal fav's.....

You really have to watch the first few episode (preferable 6+) to grasp the story in it. I never base my judgements off one the first couple of episodes alone because things take time to get going.That holds true for just about all the anime's out there.

Martin Mystery, It is a complete Scooby-Doo ripoff. The main "hero" is Johnny Bravo mixed with Fred from SD. So he tries to hit on chicks and it's really annoying. Mad It a lame show so stay away from it! Exclamation

Martin Mystery isn't anime, it's from France.

Same with Totally Spies and Code Lyoko.

...Those who disrespect Lupin III must pay...

Anyways, I wasn't really fond of Duel Masters. The only thing missing from that show was a little, yellow electric mouse...or a millenium item (hint, hint--wink, wink).

P.S.

...those who disrespect Lupin III must pay.

I can see why people may hate Naruto because it starting to turn out like another DBZ (which I hate). I like Naruto because of the storyline. The animation drawings of the series are bad. I have seen much better. but Full metal alcheimest? I love that series. What was wrong with that series?

Again. If you're going to say a well-loved series (two in this case) is horrible, it's a really good idea to say WHY you think that. Not bashing your opinion, but saying something like "The Best Anime of 2003 sucks!" is best explained before other people drill you into the ground on the basis of anime subculture heresy.

Hm... I gotta say Pokemon, partially because it's just terrible in and of itself, but also because it's so popular, especially with kids, that it gives the entire genre a bad reputation. All of my family used to think that it was typical of the genre, and in fact my sister-in-law went on a spiel about how anime was competition for Disney and the American children's-movie industry. It took me forever to get it into their heads that anime's really an adult genre (showed them Trust & Betrayal and Blood: the Last Vampire, and that helped quite a bit).
