[QUOTE="AlexB23, post: 77446328, member: 450900"] Nice. Hunter X Hunter got me into anime though, starting November 2021. Sci-fi is my favorite genre in general, so Cowboy Bebop piqued my interest in July 2023. I tried Akira (1988 sci-fi), and it was a bit too bloody, but the movie was good. I'll try Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke for Ghibli. Have watched When Marnie was There, From up on Poppy Hill and Ponyo the fish movies. I'll pop in your sci-fi movie recommendations into the library list, and rent them. Library DVDs are free to rent in my area. I used to not like anime, as there was anime on Cartoon Network as a kid during the late 2000s, and it was just too much focused on power-ups such as DB-Z, Naruto and Pokemon. By the way, Jojo is a terrible anime, so avoid that one. Too violent, and they show harm to humans and animals. 0/5 stars, bad show. So, you probably don't like One Piece (Shonen Jump)? I like it, but Roronoa Zoro cusses a bit too much, and there is some filler episodes. By the way, in April 2023, I asked Bing Chat what it thought about DB-Z. Bing AI: "This is a very subjective question, as different anime fans may have different preferences and opinions on what makes an anime good or bad. However, based on some of the search results, here are some possible reasons why some people may prefer One Piece and Hunter X Hunter over Naruto and Dragon Ball: - One Piece and Hunter X Hunter have more **diverse and interconnected worlds** with many fantastic creatures, places, cultures and races. Naruto and Dragon Ball are more limited in their settings and mostly focus on Japan or Earth. - One Piece and Hunter X Hunter have more **complex and relatable villains** with various motivations and flaws. Naruto and Dragon Ball have more stereotypical and overpowered villains who are mostly evil for the sake of being evil. - One Piece and Hunter X Hunter have more **strategic and balanced combat systems** with various abilities, limitations and tactics. Naruto and Dragon Ball rely more on power-ups, transformations and brute force. - One Piece and Hunter X Hunter have more **emotional and psychological depth** in their characters and themes, exploring issues such as isolation, identity, morality, loyalty, friendship, etc. Naruto and Dragon Ball are more straightforward and simple in their character development and messages. - One Piece and Hunter X Hunter have more **silliness and humor** in their tone and style, balancing the serious moments with the comedic ones. Naruto and Dragon Ball are more serious and dramatic in their tone and style. Of course, these are not definitive or objective reasons, and there may be exceptions or counter arguments for each point. Ultimately, it depends on what you enjoy and appreciate in an anime. You may like all four of them, or none of them, or some of them. There is no right or wrong answer to this question." [/QUOTE]
