The Fan's POV: The Aftershow - Zenkaikon 2009 - Trina Nishimura

[TheFactHat]

Why do I go gaga over anime? I would have to say , Anime brings me so many emotions and thoughts that are fun to feel through, and think about. I love how wacky and random and genuine and action-packed and heartfelt and super cute it can be.

What I love about anime is that I love the animation, the expressions, kick ass action thats way over the top than most action movies, fanservice, and way more sophisticated storylines for some animes, but others I would enjoy its randomness. Lastly, there are people who share similar feelings for the show, some fans are over the top, some are level headed, and we turn into all out fandom.

What makes me Gaga for anime..? Simple, it's different. Always always different. Even if based off of the whole Saiyuki thing, always different. The animation styles, the stories, everything. I dunno how else to answer it xD

Because Anime can do a lot that live action simply cannot.

[Spyd3rP1rat3]

i wouldn't say i'm a huge anime fan but the anime that i did get into i would say i got into due to the action sequences and how well their played out at least in some series (not dbz obviously).

did she have a bag of sugar before the interview?

art style & wide variety of genres

I would like to say what makes "gaga" for this genre is is the storylines, plot twists and character development in the series. School Rumble for example is about the crazy relationship trangles that are formed just the certain interactions with the different characters and the insanity that comes from the mispronouncement of one single action with a character or a line in a different conversation. It's styuff like this that keeps bringing me back to the genre.
