[Razor-Leaf]

Yeah, Recently I only watch FMA brotherhood.
The other stuff I watch is all CSI-type drama.

[Marley]

Hmmmm. That's a tough one.

10. Ouran High School Host Club
9. Rocko's Modern Life
8. The Fairly OddParents (pre-Uncancellation, i.e. I want to use that purple spherical thing as a volleyball.)
7. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (except Endless Eight. Didn't bother, didn't buy the T-shirt, didn't care.)
6. SpongeBob SquarePants (of the Hillenburg era)
5. Digimon Adventure/02
4. Azumanga Daioh
3. Futurama
2. Animaniacs
1. Baccano!

Fair amount of anime. o_o Well they are animated. I'm surprised they only make up half the list, frankly. I watch a fair amount of anime, at least I think...
And no, Pokémon doesn't even begin to make it. I got bored with the anime before Meowth's VA changed.

[dirksies]

Oh, interesting question....erm. Alright, in no particular order

10. Fillmore or Liberty's Kids
9. Ouran Host Club
8. Pokemon
7. Ben 10
6. Scooby Doo (pretty much any version where the whole gang is present)
5. Danny Phantom
4. Digimon
3. Avatar the Last Airbender
2. Phineas and Ferb
1. Static Shock

This experience has taught me that I really read/watch tv shows that aren't cartoons more often than not...

edit: changed it to make it all 2-D cartoons. I should probably note that I pretty much like all of these equally. If there was a tv station with just these ten/eleven shows, I would be very happy

[Mrtweetums]

Hmm...tough question. Can I get back to you on that? It's just that I love so many cartoons, and putting them into a top 10...may take a while.

Though, on a completely unrelated note, I got my soul silver today!! ^^ ...finally, I can play the greatest of pokemon games!

...though, I don't even have a ds...
*sits and mopes about the game he cannot yet play

[Marley]

]: Aw, suuuuck. Hope you get one soon~ Or, you know, mooch all your friends' DSes. >D
That's what my boyfriend did. I got him HeartGold and he didn't get a DS until two weeks later... he mooched off mine... o_O

Ohhhh I forgot about Danny Phantom. Guilty pleasure, natch.

[Supernova]

I have a Nintondo Wi-Fi USB Connector since my internet security is too good for the DS ...
Anyway, I got the shiny pichu of Wi-Fi when I got that thing, and yesterday, I tried to get Yellow Forest (event ends tomorrow =/) but it keeps connecting successfully and then disconnecting ... Anyone got a clue as to why?

[Guest]

i have no clue. mine worked fine (did it, like, the second day)

in any case... One more week til summer!!!!!!!!!!(exclamation x 292938012938120)

;w; and my first year as a college student shall be over.

[SaiTurtlesninjaNX]

My dad got Avater the dvd and I saw it. Will the moive wasn't bad it wasn't grate. The story, plot and characters all seem to be done before and the special effects just down graded the rest of the film. As a rule I don't like CGI. So ya I didn't mean Avater but the worst thing about the moive is they stole helf the name from the The Last Airbender.

[Hotrod198]

Dont know how you cant like Avatar but thats your opinion.

And they didnt steal Avatar from The Last Airbender. They're using a completely different meaning of the word Avatar in this movie. So its not really stealing.

[SaiTurtlesninjaNX]

When ever moives spent to must time and energy on special effects they alway down graded story, plot and characters. I do like the plant of Pandora and the lifeforms on there.

EDIT:
I have to gave Avater a low rating because they have really simples characters, story and plot. Avater is really dance with wolves in space.

[Mrtweetums]

Well, I agree that the film has NO originality, "dances with wolves", hello?

But avatar has it's own traits. It IS different. It has it's own features. It makes up for it's flaws by it's own creativity.

But it doesn't matter.

I GOT MY DS TODAY! ^^ *squeals

[Marley]

Really, the plot of Avatar is just an excuse to show off all the fancy CGI.
However, as a fan of CGI, and having seen it in theatres with the whole 3D experience, I enjoyed it. It was very pretty. The plot was tired and overdone, but that was fine with me as I didn't go to see it for the plot. >>

There were two pieces of dialogue that made me rip off my 3D glasses and pound the armrest in disgust, though. So, so very Narmy.
It was the romantic scenes, by the way.

Also they killed off both my favorite characters, if I remember correctly. ]<
I'm not saying who, 'cause that's spoilers, but man, was I ticked.

Yay Tweetums!
What kind of DS?

[Mrtweetums]

Well, avatar does have it's own qualities.

I got a ds lite! (used, though...) but I would say it would be relatively cheap. Finally, soul silver! (just got back home, I can finally start playing!)

[Sir_Sniper]

So random question:
I got Heartgold for my birthday. As it would turn out, Gold was my favorite version. Heartgold is SO much better. In short, Heartgold is now my favorite Pokemon game. Agree? Disagree?

[SaiTurtlesninjaNX]

A good film is besed on characters, story, plot and effects are always LAST. Really good special effects do not make up for bad characters, story and plot.

I'm someone to go see a movie for good characters. The Dark Knigth was a grate moive because it have grate characters, good plot and a grate story and ok special effects. Ghostbusters grate characters, good plot, a fun story and special effects are still good even for today. Dances with wolves good characters, nice story, good plot and it didn't really need special effects. The Last Samurai grate characters, grate story, nice plot and it had special effects. Avatar bad characters, not bad story, ok plot and really good special effects that is it's biggese problem.

Avatar does have it's own qualities but that didsn't make for the film.
I do like the plant of Pandora and the lifeforms on there but that didsn't make up for it. I see the is some problem in the film. I see some inconsistent biology with the Na'vi that not consistent with the other lifeforms on Pandora.

I stant by my opinion Avater that's it wasn't bad but it wasn't grate.

[dirksies]

I'm going to have to disagree with you, Sai, with the effects always being last (though I do agree with your analysis of Avatar). I think sometimes, a well done special effects peice can make or break a movie. i'm sure that there are examples out there, but after studying for a biology final for 5 hours, you'll have to forgive me for not providing any >.> But, yeah...

[Marley]

Well, bad special effects can certainly break something... bad effects can really up the Narm quotient.
Regardless, I hardly saw Avatar as a movie. More like a pretty thing to watch for three or so hours, so... more like a moving painting than a story. Which is why I saw it in theatres; on DVD, it's just pretty, but on the big screen with the fancy 3D and everything it was really a spectacle piece.

Oh, HeartGold is definitely one of my favorites... even though I haven't had much time to play it, as it's always one schoolwork object or another... (and now it's AP tests; most important of them all). I don't know if it's my favorite favorite... Ruby/Sapphire get a bum rap for rebooting the series too far, but there will always be a place for Sapphire in my heart as the first Pokémon game I managed to actually finish. x_o I got stuck before then, and my brother would want his game back... myeh.
Anyway, it's one of the best. Definitely better than Gold, considering it's pretty much Crystal with updated graphics and mechanics, which I definitely like. (The plot plays more like Crystal than it does Gold, what with Minaki Eusine and Suicune and all that.)

[martianunicorn]

oh the na'vi. ridiculous creatures. their planet is green and they are freaking blue. it's like a walking "hey i am prey shoot me" signal.

i freaking want a ds. i only get to play on emulators so far

[Aki11]

lol, precisely. whatever happened to adaptation and survival of the fittest?XDD

[Guest]

it was thrown out the window to please the furries. >w>

(oh ho ho ho, i am so clever)

*shot*

hahahaha! Best comment. If we had a quote wall, i feel like this would fit =]

Anyway, maybe everything was colorblind (like dogs) so they couldn't really perceive color, just shades of grey. Or maybe it's because blue is much prettier when magnified on a 50ft screen in 3-D. which ever sounds more plausible...

Bwah? Eusine was in Crystal? I didn't know that; I thought he was solely a manga character, which is why I went "OH GOODNESS WHAT" when I saw him.

Gold was my first version to finish, but only after multiple failed attempts. And Sapphire will always have a special place in my heart, too, mostly cuz of the running shoes.

[Joyfulldreams]

DITTO on Sapphire being amazing! X3 It was my first game, actually. I never got to play Red or Gold. >.>;

And sorry Sai, you're going to have to take that argument up with 80% of American teen boys. All they care about his hot chicks, lots of badassery, and lots of violence. >.>; They couldn't care less about the plot, so long as they are entertained. XD

[Marley]

I tried, if it counts. xD I wasn't the sharpest five-year-old and could never get past Mt. Moon. Fortunately a friend of mine brought his Blue to school one day last year and I got through. :D
And with Gold... I never got past Goldenrod. Dunno why. Maybe it was that Sudowoodo.

But Sapphire, I beat. I got really really into it, too, and it kinda took a toll on my grades. x_o Lucky middle school grades don't actually matter for anything (since I go to a performing (and visual) arts magnet high school, getting in wasn't really an academic issue.)
Really though. I had so much fun.
And a level 73 Torchic. >D

[Joyfulldreams]

WHY on EARTH?? 0o A level 73 Torchic?? excuse me but WTF.
