My older sister actually thought Pokemon was solely an anime until very recently. She asked how Pokemon was part of Nintendo (she saw Pikachu while I was playing Brawl at the time) because she didn't know it was the anime made after the game instead of the other way around. Ah well, such is the way of being the only person in the family who takes interest in such things...
lol i doubt is that maybe its the fact that we grew up with that and she didnt? or she was to young? idk =S
finished omamori homari yesterday .-. that anime needs a second season for the unanswered questions of how his powers will develop <.<
She's in her mid twenties (over ten years older then me), so it definitely wasn't an age issue. I wasn't allowed to watch the show as a kid myself actually.
Why weren't you allowed to watch Pokémon?
My parents didn't want me to watch stuff with magic and spells ect. (which several Pokemon are known for) being my family is Christian. Even now they don't like me watching anime for the same reason (although they really don't moderate me anymore since I'm almost 18).
But I'm sure that if I was allowed as a child, I would probably love the series since I've always had a hidden fascination for it likely set on by it being forbidden to me in the first place.

That's...unfortunate. I didn't know there were still people who believed in witchcraft. Ah well, it wasn't a very good show anyways. I personally hated it as a kid, and still don't find it that interesting outside of later gyms and challenges. If you ever want to satiate your curiousity for the non-game versions, try the manga. I actually found that version to be quite interesting (though it still bugged me as a kid).

Just go to Family Friendly Gaming (website), and read pretty much any RPG review they have up (or any review on an iOS hidden object/visual novel game with such themes)...

Hey, @RR529 - Would you say Inuyasha is a Shoujo or Shounen Title? I always thought it was shounen show with cross-gender appeal, which is what I got out of the first 50 episodes or so. But now people are telling me that it's 100% shoujo, it stops being a shounen after the first season, and there's, like, very little action or plot after the first season, it's a romantic comedy basically, and I just got lucky and saw most all the action there was. I talk to these guys a lot, but I still can't tell if they're full of **** or not, and I'm sure as hell not gonna find out myself by watching it.
It has about a constant amount of action throughout, from what I can think of (the group fighting random demons, or more commonly later on, fighting whatever Naraku sets up for them). Of course, there are the romantic moments, and while their importance might be greater/more obvious, their occurance doesn't really increase.
With that said, yeah, once all the main characters are introduced (I think Koga is the last one that comes in to play), the plot doesn't really change that much (group finds Naraku, he runs off almost dead, sets up new scheme, rinse, wash, repeat). The only exception being Sesshomaru becoming more of a good guy (just not admitting it), but that's more of a side plot. The only other things that kind of count, are that Koga realizes that Kagome isn't interested in him (but he decides to completely ignore that fact, so he might as well not even had the realization), and Kagome's friends meet InuYasha (but they still don't know what he is, and they're really side characters anyway, so it pretty much has no importance).
It isn't until the Final Act that the plot really moves along (something is either being solved, or brought up, in pretty much every episode).
Ah, thank you. Thought I was going crazy there for a while.
My parents (Including me.) Are Christian also.
My parents are okay with Pokemon and stuff.
They don't like wizardry like Harry potter, so that's one of the only things I can't watch/read, and I really have no intrest in it.
But they are pretty okay with me Watching stuff.
But I still don't know most of their views on anime...

I recently started reading Gravitation and at first I wasn't sure what Shuichi saw in Yuki but there has been some good progression in terms of their relationship and I look forward to seeing how their relationship develops.
I just finished the soul eater manga. It has a different (better) ending than the anime. Not to say the show isn't good, but the manga is better at portraying the charcters. Not to mention they cut some scenes out. I got more Death the Kid , so these are just nitpicks.

Good choice. It was the first manga I ever read, many years ago. The artwork starts really rough, but it gets really good around the sixth volume.
I finally, finally finished the Thriller Bark arc. It was a good arc, possibly more enjoyable than the Enies Lobby arc - I loved the atmosphere and whole holloween-y aspect to the Thriller Bark "island" and its inhabitants; I thought the level of comedy was more balanced to an appropriate level; the action was a definite step down, but it was still very interesting - It's nice to see everyone else take on large groups of enemies, and the Absalom, Undead samurai, and Oars fights were pretty creative. I especially liked the Oars fight, since you got to see everyone team up to take one one enemy, without luffy for the most part, and actually hold their own for quite a while. Even when Luffy came in, they still worked together to defeat him in a rather unexpected way. Too bad Moria himself was a bit of a joke, though. The new crewmate, though, Brooks, is fantastic, instantly likeable and funny. He has a less interesting backstory than usual, but it was still good enough to make me really feel for him.
All together, it was pretty fun to watch. Not the greatest arc, but I still enjoyed it enough, despite being rather tired of the series from my major Marathon in November. I'm tempted to watch the next non-filler arc, but I really should take a long break from the series now.
