ad Paule89: Wow, thanks for the long list. Animes seem pretty much as varied as Japanese mangas. I have seen most types of anime you mentioned in your list and I did not really like it. It is not the content itself but rather the way it is presented. But maybe I’ll find the anime of my dreams one day and change my mind
P.S. I’m flying to Berlin this afternoon to attend the polyglot gathering. Will you be there, too?
When my sister and I were kids, our parents only allowed us to watch a couple of hours of TV per day. In retrospect I can see that this was one of the kindest things they did for us!
(Even today it amazes and saddens me when I am out walking or running and I see the same people every single time, through the same window, glued to some trashy BBC drama, or to some other utterly brain-dead gunk on the box. They are completely sedentary, yet living a kind of cheap artificial life in their heads. They should be out there living real life, IMO.)
I was getting depressed about watching so much TV, then I realized that 75% of what I watch is in French. Moving so close to a French speaking country was sooo worth it.
@lovelanguages: Well it’s obvious to me that you haven’t found an anime that fits your tastes . As Paule was saying there are a whole range of Anime that can please anyone.
The sad part(at least from my point of view) is that there are lots of anime with disturbing content . It annoys me when they sneak these kinds of nasty and appalling things in Animes that I usually follow .
But of course there is no such thing as a perfect nation and peoples’ inclinations vary from person to person.
I would suggest you try Death Note because it’s not about fighting and it’s pretty mature-like( not in ‘that’ way of course).
Ever since I realised Disney record all their movies in multiple languages, I have been watching Disney songs in German. Some are good, some are bad, and some are just brilliant
