I'm a hard core anime fan. I've been watching anime since Robotech. I have to admit my first anime that got me absolutely hooked was Sailor Moon. I was a young child of 11 and I still love it for sentimental reasons. Now that I'm a big girl I like more mature anime. Like:
Rouroni Kenshin
Trigun
Saiyuki ("Sanzo I'm hungry")
Ranma 1/2
Inuyasha
Vampire Hunter D
DNAngel
Jing King of Bandits
Sumarai Deeper Kyo
Physchic Academy
And many more, I could go on forever.
I welcome any other anime fans, maybe we can chat. Laterz!

W.I.T.C.H. (2004)
Not what I thought it would be
I love this show because of that! I thought it would be another anime rip off of Sailor Moon, like WINX, but it wasn't. There was an interesting, unpredictable story, with lovable funny characters who can really fight well.
My brother was laughing at the show because he said their powers were like the kids in Captain Planet. So I watched Captain Planet to investigate. I realized yes the WITCH characters have the same powers, Earth, Wind, Fire,Water but they are so creative with it. I love that, that's why I love X-men too. Will and her friends are so clever. I remember an episode where Hay-Lin used her wind powers to hear a sound from far away. I was really impressed by the ingenuity. The Planet Brats don't even compare. Cornelia controls Earth and that means she can control everything to dealing with Earth, but all the guy in Captain Planet can do is throw dirt in the air. If u ask me Gaia the Spirit of the Earth really screwed those kids.
Winx Club (2004)
What were they smoking when they made this
I am a big Sailor Moon fan so I was honestly eager to see WINX club, but when I saw it I was horrified. How can anyone compare WINX club to Sailor Moon. Yes it follows the whole 5 beautiful girls transforming and kicking butt, but when it comes to characters personality and plot, WINX pales in comparison.
It is so stereotypical and shallow. As a girl I am insulted that someone made this show for girls. It is basically saying all girls should be skinny, where revealing clothes, boy crazy, and like make up. I don't think that is a good example for 7 year old girls or any girl. I don't remember being able to classify any of the Sailor Moon characters, but in WINX you have the smart one, the boy crazy one etc etc, and if there were any confusion of which is which their names say it all. I never approved of the name showing your character think unless the character is a superhero, and if not the name has to be very clever.
Also if they thought putting guys in the show would attract guys to watch it they are sadly mistaken, because Sky and Brandon have to be the biggest bunch of losers I have ever seen. They have absolutely no personality.
I think if you want a good show for young girls watch WITCH, it kicks butt. And at least WITCH means something, what the heck does WINX mean?
