You have a point there. I only have a couple titles. I got a couple comedic ones, and I got Bible Black, because I heard that it was one of the best out there.
Anime is my hobby, and if I shunned the Hentai aspect of that, then I wouldn't be a very informed or open minded collector, would I?
yeah, but i've never really been into anime....I loved sailor moon when I was little....it was a cool cartoon to me....I didn't know what the hell anime was then.
And what you saw was actually a watered down version of what originally aired in Japan. DIC edited it to Americanize it, and gear it towards young girls.
In the original, Serina's name was Usagi, the vehicles drove on the left side of the road, the high school they went to was renamed in the DIC version. And they actually changed the gender of Zoicite. If not Zoicite they changed the gender of the other one. Wouldn't want a same sex relationship in a series geared towards young girls, would we?
Thankfully, today's anime is hardly edited, and the only americanization that occurs is within the dubs, when the cultural references are adapted to things in America. There are certain Japanese references in the original that would make no sense to us here, but make perfect sense there. So they change things up a bit, and make them more adaptable to the American society.
And Rommie, I see you have Bakuretsu Tenshi on DVD. Good series, when It still was in subtitles. They destroyed the feel with the voice actors they got.
