Life in aminated motion

I love animation. In all its forms. I guess I never grew up after all and cartoon network is to blame for it. It was the one channel I couldn't stop watching no matter what. It started with Tom and Jerry (which still continues) continued with "chaddi wala phul" Mowgli (One of the primary reasons I hated the dance classes was they they would clash with Jungle Book), Chip n Dale.. basically anything and everything being shown on Doordarshan. Cartoon Network was a luxury available only in vacations.

Things I loved on CN:
1. Tom n Jerry
2. Roadrunner Show
3. Johnny Quest
4. The Centurions (The show was boring but I loved the name of one of the characters - Ace McCloud!)
5. Swat Cats
6. Ninja Robots (It wasn't very popular but I loved it anyway.. that was the first anime i saw even though I didn't know it was an anime at that time)
7. Laff-a-lympics

Then Animax happened. And I loved it.
I won't go into the history of why anime (thats what Japanese animation is called) is distinct from normal animation. You can read it up on wiki if interested.

Must watch
1. Bleach
2. Rouroni Kenshin
3. Death Note
4. Naruto
5. Samurai Champloo
6. Trinity blood
7. Kare Kano (first time I saw an anime where everyone is absolutely normal.. no magic, no machines, no demons, no swords... a simple love story set in a school.. it was kinda cool)

But currently I'm totally "Bleached" :D

Anime (anemia :P ) is pathetic
why watch low budget drama if there are movies ..lolz
It shud be banned all the content shud destroyed in a big nuclear fire and anime producers shud be sent to primary schools to teach them what cartoons are supposed to be.. simple, ugly and short. :D
