I wouldn't sweat it. Only people who seem to get it are the hipsters, who feel like they really understand what blacks go through.
What anime are you watching?

There is with the Ghibli releases unfortunately, there was a comparison on some AV board a while back regarding nausicaa and I actually picked up the UK version of nausicaa too and was not impressed.
It related to the attempt to mute / remove the grain - I think the US version may have been better.
They did the same back in the day with the DVD releases, so I picked up the JPN versions of those.

FUCKING THIS! It irritates me to no end when a white person tells me a black person in America still doesn't go through shit. I made the mistake of arguing with a blonde white girl when she told me she knew what black people went through. I pretty much cut off all ties with her after that.

Just finished up Gurren Lagann and all I can say is I can see why everyone always made a big deal about how good it is. One of the few series I have watched that lived up the the hype. The characters were all very engaging, the story was great and kept throwing more at you (no dull spot except episode 16 but that was just an art in-between ep), and it didn't shit on itself with the ending. Easily one of my new favorites and will be getting a repeat viewing VERY soon.

I loved Michiko é Hatchin; the South American setting, culture, and attitude made it unique. I just wish that it would get released in NA on bluray (Gurren Laagan too; don't understand why it's not considering how popular it is/was???)

Some of my fav episodes are from this season, the "Tyler Perry" episode, "Red Ball" and Don DC Curry and Star Jones as Uncle Rukus's parents was great. The hours of discussions me and a friend have had about different episodes have been insane

I picked up the Transformers: The Headmasters set. For under $20, it was hard to pass up, even though I'm not a huge fan of the Japanese TF shows. This is my first time watching it subtitled, and that honestly does help a lot from the shitty dub I'd seen before. Still not great by any means, though. As flawed as Rebirth was, I prefer it over the Headmasters series by a pretty great distance.
Still, I'll probably get Masterforce and maybe Victory, if they come out this cheap. They don't feel like Transformers, but they're kind of an interesting curiosity as their own thing. It always struck me ironic that Japan could mess up Transformers about as bad as the US could mess up stuff like Macross.

I'm still watching the amazing Cross Game on Hulu Plus through my Roku 2 XD. Can't quite figure out how I managed to live this long without this show. Anyone who likes a good drama with proper amounts of humour and tons of baseball needs to go to Hulu and check this shit out.
Nomo likes it too!

Thanks for that. Added to my queue. In fact, I'll watch it right now!
Edit: Not too shabby. Will try and watch the rest of it when I get the chance.

Macross Plus...the OVA, or the movie? Loved 'em both, but I prefer the movie personally.

Sorry for the late response Andy. I've only seen the OVA (the english dubbed version) and loved it. I need to check out the movie though (I'm excited to check it out). I also listen to MP's soundtrack alot, especially Myung's song.

It's all good, I was just curious.
The soundtrack is amazing, though. Back in the days before the advent of wide availability, the Macross Plus OSTs were the first anime OSTs I ever bought (after managing to find them in a CD store at the mall, which blew my mind in and of itself). Easily one of my favorite soundtracks to anything ever.

Yeah, I don't think I've seen many anime soundtracks at places like Sam Goody (especially back in the day). That's a rare find.
MP's OSTs are a favorite of mine as well.

I've been slowly picking through the original Urusei Yatsura TV series as the DVDs trickle in from Netflix. I've been really enjoying it adn I love that early 80s art style. Pretty soon I'm planning on pulling out my Hades Project Zeorymer LDs and rewatching them.

It was the complete opposite for me, I found it really underwhelming and didn't enjoy it at all. To the extent of where I didn't watch the whole series. I really can't see how people like it - and I do want to like it, but it just doesn't work for me.

Recently I just started watching K-ON and, I'm up to episode 4 and must say that I'm not really into this either.
I heard the music to the series before I ever watched it and whilst the music is great the anime is far from it.
I thought that post lucky star, Anime series would do the Moe stuff a little tongue in cheek, but that seems not to be the case.
The series that I recently liked the most was Haruhi - (although I have only seen the 1st season and am not inclined to see the 2nd). I thought Haruhi was very well done, especially with the mixed up episodes, which I hate how they reordered them for the US release.

You should look at series other anime fans hate. Lagann and K-On! are some of the most popular series in recent years.
