Anime On Nickelodeon?! - Page 2

KT Kore · February 5th, 2005, 01:09 PM

It's called Avatar and it's not anime.

I've been somewhat looking forward to the show since it seems like it may be different from the run-of-the-mill bad comedy shows Nickelodeon produces.

Oh it isn't, well, it seem looks decent

Oh, and who else remembered when the new Speed Racer was on Nick? I think it was during the summer

If you are talking about that Avatar show, it is a Psudo-anime not anime. It looks better dumb, but I take a little look.

I totaly agree and can't figure out why they stoped showing that... It wasn't that offensive... well most of it anyway.

Oh and as for Nick and CN, in the daytime those channels are relativley, no scratch that, really stupid. All though CN plays some good ones on saturdays like Rave Master I thought was good. Where I am it's on at 7 where most good shows start at midnight. Does anyone watch Rave Master or read the books or am I the only one?

Ravemaster never really looked interesting to me.

Kaoru-sama · February 5th, 2005, 03:52 PM

I remember long ago when Nick actually 'aired' anime. Abelt, it was mostly Saban-dubbed-and-edited material, but still, that's where he threw his shows to, before Fox came along in the early/mid 1990s with their kids' block. Noozles, Maple-Town, Mysterious Cities of Gold (French / Japanese co-produced), Maya the Bee? Those should bring back memories.

I never did catch the promo for this "Avatar" people are speaking of here. However, it being 'psuedo-anime' doesn't suprise me. Look at all the other stuff that Kids WB / CN, Disney (through their JETIX block) and now Nick are trying to bring in. You all know the shows already, so I won't run through a list, but anime's niche popularity is rubbing off on American producers.

Knowing how much Nick reruns stuff to death, I'm sure one day I'll catch a glimpse of Avatar.

Edit: To answer your question. Rave Master never really piqued my interest. There's better action/adventure anime out there.

Yuffie · February 5th, 2005, 04:19 PM

Yes Rave Master looks kindof dumb if you only watch like 5 minutes of it. I suggest reading the books then if it looks intresting watch the show. By the way who know's when this Avatar show plays or when it starts? I'd like to check it out even though more than likely it will suck...

For the love of god, IT'S NOT ANIME.
IT'S ANIME STYLE
The movie is called Avatar about some chinese boy who has the power of all four elements or something.

I don't watch TV at all anymore... Just anime on DVD.

Personally I am hate psuedo-anime because it's wannabe anime... made by Americans who are trying to appeal to the American public. All they are looking for is money, so they put out something without story or character development: just flashy animation.

Come to think of it all cartoons have slumped down to this within the past couple of years. American cartoons have no substance whatsoever. And the most frustrating thing is that the kids today eat this garbage just like candy.

This is why I am into anime because it's not what defines cartoons today (because they're not 'toons).

I must give Nickelodeon some credit though because they still know how to make cartoons with more of a point then Cartoon Network. They seem to be least conforming to the American public, however if they did come out with an anime clone they too may conforming... *sigh* Kids just don't know SUBSTANCE!

Oh My God! The world will end! How dare they show anime when they'll just butcher it? Bastards...>_>

Now that I got that out of my system, is this the show where some kid changes in to a dragon or comes from a dragon family? I remember reading about it. It didn't seem animeish to me outside of the fact that it has an Asian lead.

Look, the anime style is becoming more popular nowadays so of course more companies will try to make their own versions. We don't have to like it but it's here.

No. I believe that is some Disney Channel show.

This is the show being discussed.

goddessofanime · February 5th, 2005, 05:48 PM

Now I see what the fuss is about. It looks like Production I.G's work.

Yuffie · February 5th, 2005, 10:43 PM

Yeah prior to a post I did earlier I don't think I'll be watching that... dare I say it... crap...
