Anime (Brigitte!)

I have a friend who likes Japanese Anime so this will be my ode to that.
Well I like the cartoons and everything but I am not a hardcore fan. I don't really follow it at all.
I like the ones late at night (you know at 2 am) that are really dramamtic and kinda sci fi. But I would have to say that my all time favorite was Samuri Pizza Cats (see pic). That was the funniest cartoon in the history of cartoons (besides Here Comes the Grump, and Danger Mouse).

I was always interested in why the eyes were so big in Japanese anime. They always took up half the face and the nose and mouths were tiny! Remember on your box of coloured pencils in primary school, all the boxes had these anime people. ALL the pencil cases and everything had them. For a long time we all wanted to look like that I think.

I always liked the school ones and the sci -fi ones where they are in outer space but I really dislike when it's supposed to be all about real people and they have talking animals in there with the people, or aliens with weird shapes.

The funny thing is that they drew a lot of the characters really well. The hot guys looked like hot guys, and the pretty girls looked like pretty girls.
But when it came to romance, oh my goodness! The lines were corny, the men's voices were too gruff and the girl's voices were always way too silly. It was really very unbelieveable and kinda embarrassing. Maybe they are doing a better job of it these days. I haven't seen a show in a long time.
