naruto(deos any1 watch it?)

Um.. Really, if your under the age of 18, just remember anything you see on that show was your own fault for clicking on it, if your lucky enough to find a few episodes that weren't removed on YouTube..

that elfen lied is mix of hentai and really violent anime? sounds great. i downloaded first episode. but it was dubbed... Gaara824, where you get your episodes?

Violent cartoons? Whats next?Teddy bear wars?

Quote that and die.

Oi!

Cartoons=Maisy, Dexter, ed, ed and eddy
Anime=Stuff cinimax wouldn't even show without editing(some shows)

Don't forget that lol. 99% of all anime that isn't on adult swim was edited into the crappy little kid thing you see on tv. Adult swim actually has to cut out a lot of things before it's even suitable for them to show it, but they don't have terrible voice actors like the stuff on toonami, but that's besides the point..

Heh... this elfen lied show sounds interesting, im not sure, but it sounds german, since lied means song in german... and "elfen song" is the type of title you would expect to see for anime/manga *what is the difference between the two!?*.

^ besides, who doesnt like hentai! kekekeke ^_^ </joke>

As for naruto, i dont watch it, though i know quite a few people that do, and when they try to tell me about it, i just sorta stare off into the distance and think about other things .

Really, the only anime ive ever watched to be honest is inuyasha, and i dont even like it THAT much.

Generally, i perfer things like south park if im going to be watching cartoons.

Actually we call comic books comic books too, I think it's the Japanese people who decided to rename it.

Oh, btw creepy, anime is not cartoons. But seeing as though you thought comics were manga, you obviously have NO idea what your talking about, so i'll let it go.

And elfen lied has a very good storyline, pretty immature if the only thing you can see is the violence and nudity.

And shut up with the "americans call it this", "Americans call it that", it's manga and anime, then cartoons and comics. If you can't understand that much, maby you shouldn't post here.

Manga (漫画, Manga?) is the Japanese word for comics and print cartoons. Outside of Japan, it usually refers specifically to Japanese comics. As of 2006, manga represents a $5 billion global market.

In Japan, the term is a broad one, and does not specify an animation's nation of origin or style. In English speaking countries the word is used usually only to refer to animated programming of Japanese origin, with the term "cartoon" used for most other visual styles. However, non-Japanese works are sometimes called anime if they borrow stylistically from Japanese animation.

Animation is the technique in which each frame of a film or movie is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model unit (see claymation and stop motion), and then photographing the result with a special animation camera. .

The story begins with a naked young girl named Lucy who escapes under odd circumstances from an island research-facility off the coast of Kamakura in the Kanagawa Prefecture of Japan. Lucy manages to nonchalantly dismember and slay 23 (14 in the manga) of the staff and guards with some form of seemingly supernatural power and gets outside. A sniper is ordered to kill her but only manages to ricochet the bullet off the metal helmet encasing her head. Lucy falls off a cliff into the sea and is not found again by the research staff.

Lucy is not a normal human but in fact a Diclonius which is a mutant strain of humans who have two small horns on their heads (hence the name diclonius) and possess telekinetic powers through use of their "Vectors", which are arms that project from the backs with varying numbers and length of reach depending on the diclonius.

The next day, a boy named Kouta arrives at Kamakura to meet his cousin Yuka. Kouta has come to study at a university there and has been given the use of an old family-owned inn, The "Maple (楓, kaede?) Inn", provided he acts as the caretaker there. After meeting with Yuka, they go to visit the beach and find Lucy washed up there, still naked and bleeding from her head. However, the head-trauma that Lucy has experienced has caused her to develop a split personality, "Nyū". In stark contrast, Nyū is completely docile, harmless and is incapable at first of saying anything other than "Nyū". Not knowing what to do with her, Kouta and Yuka take her back to the inn to look after her.

While Kouta, Nyū and Yuka begin settling into a new life, the researchers begin hunting for Lucy and characters on both sides find themselves in a situation much more complex than they originally anticipated.

I'm almost positive you looked all that up after you posted, but that's besides the point.

Anyway, I posted that just to get you to understand Japanese "cartoons" aren't done like they are the way I know you meant it when you said cartoons.



You obviously DIDN'T have any idea what you were talking about before I made my post. Weather or not it has the same meaning in Japan, as the quote said, it's a different style. A better stlye imo.

As for the darker parts of the EL review, all of that is referring to the first 5 muinets of the first episode. Trust me, it has an actual storyline.
