Boring and Fun Anime

l was a bit bored watching the first few episodes of Serial Experiments Lain. You could put it in the weird and surreal genre. I'm not really against those kings of animes, but so far, this anime still hasn't captured me. I guess I'd prefer watching weird animated movies by Hayao Miyazaki for example, or something like Madlax. Madlax is weird, but it has cool action scenes that make up for it.








D.Gray Man's concept is quite nice, however, I think it needs to be done again. Like, produced by another team or something. There are just some scenes that make me want to scream at the producer or somthing, or whoever's fault that is.

Anyway, I just mentioned this post because there are just boring animes... And fun animes. Fun, like Bleach, or Naruto, or One Piece, or School Rumble. Or more serious anime that are really well produced, like Ninja Scrolls, or what. I usually judge an anime not by the coolness of the graphics or what, but by the way they move me. If a scene is meant to be funny, then it should make me laugh. If a scene is meant to be touching, then it should move me to tears. Boring animes are those that attempt to do so, but fail miserably.


But then again, maybe it's not that easy to produce good anime right? Even with great storyline and manga, it might still not be easy I guess.
