Is it me or is the Anime franchise dying in North America? I don’t think the younger generations are watching as much Anime as I did when I was thirteen. Toonami no longer offers a lot of quality Animes anymore, especially not at reasonable times. It could be the fleeting times, bad economy, illegal downloading, or the overall lack of good Animes to watch nowadays. If it’s not full of preteen girls dancing around in short skirts, it’s full of excessive amounts of violence. Let’s face it – editing it out would be a bitch. It’s not like in DBZ where you can put a small tree in front of the privates of young Gohan.
So due to the lack of Anime that interests me, I’ve began putting a lot of non-Anime related works. This included video games, celebrities, TV series, etc. So besides Anime, what else are you guys interested in? Leave a comment so I can accommodate to your needs. I’d still like for this place to be the site to get your geek fixes. 😛

I agree! Its not like it use to be. An I don’t think nobody intrudes the kids to anime, I got hooked cause I caught 1 episode of Inuyasha one nite on cartoonnetwork. I believe if I never say that I wouldn’t have been hook!
But I luv superheros! Lol, Batman my high time favorite, I really go around calling myself Bruce Wayne even though I’m a girl. Teehee.

Ah, I gotcha. I don’t think it was ever really advertised besides by the channels that played them. I got into it because I use to watch the anime movies Syfy use to play on Saturday mornings back in the 90s before Cartoon network started to play anime. Like a lot of people, I’ve been watching anime since the 80s but didn’t know it at the time. I always looked at anime as a hobby not just shows to watch because I’m bored. So you’re either into it or you’re not. I wouldn’t worry if your little cousins are not that much into it because there are a lot more kids their age who are. I think most people get into it when they are older because they still like to watch cartoons and want something more mature.
