This thread is for those of you who watch Anime.

I'm wondering what in the heck is up with these shows?

Bakugan = its like a bad version of Pokemon, I don't fully get Pokemon either but its a lot easier to follow.

Naratu = why in the heck is it so damn confusing, its the same with the new one Shippuden. I've come to the conclusion you need to be on drugs, drunk or 10 to understand either of these shows. I mean one minute the little yellow kid is talking to his friends at a lake then the next there are two of him on a mountain top fighting some weird dude with red eyes. WTF?? And what in the heck is with the one dude in green, there are two of them except one is normal looking then the other one looks like a damn squirrel with giant black eyes.

Its like watching Dragon Ball Z. That one is frickin' confusing too.

I'm asking because my 10 year old step son watches all of these shows and once in a while I'll watch them with him as well and I just don't get it.

This is why I stick to Invader Zim and Star Wars. You can start watching Invader Zim during anytime and understand that the little green dude has a retarded robot and is trying to take over the planet so his snack loving leaders have a place ot store all their snacks. All the while every plan he hatches is thwarted by a kid with a giant head and his grouchy sister. And Star Wars you cankind of still follow if you miss an episode. But all the above mentioned Amine shows just make absolutely no sense to a guy who has never done drugs and has only ever gotten drunk twice, once when he lost his job and trashed his apartment and the other at his wedding.

Can someone please explain these shows before I lose it?

Well first of all it's spelled Naruto, second the thing with most animes are that they ae done in arcs rather than being episodic like most western cartoons, making them somewhat hard to understand if you haven't seen the first few episodes. My advice would be to read the wikis.

There are multiple genres of anime, they are not all like Naruto and DBZ.

Yeah, I realized I had spelt it wrong after I posted the thread. But I figured, I'd leave it since I don't get it anyway.

I also watch Gundum: Seed and I get that and I don't think that was really written episodic either.

Actually, we have an http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1077835-unofficial-anime-thread-vi/ so please use that, thanks.
