Anyone else watch cartoons? My parents frown on this because they believe I should be grown up and shouldn't be watching cartoons and my gf believes the same thing but I can't help it. I just started getting into ben 10 a couple weeks ago, the show is SOOOO AWESOME!!!

**TROLL** · 08-06-2006, 08:05 PM

i'm a big initial d fan, but havent really watched anything else (besides the simpsons and family guy)

MPowerKai · 08-06-2006, 08:09 PM

Yea I watch initial D too.

Here is the beginning of ben10

If you guys watch and even if you don't like it watch up until the opening song, I think the song is cool

Drftpretty · 08-06-2006, 08:13 PM

Is initial D on TV? I saw it for sale at sun coast but Im not about to buy the entire series for $70 just to check it out.

**TROLL** · 08-06-2006, 08:14 PM

drft i have a good amount of them if you want to borrow...

Drftpretty · 08-06-2006, 08:20 PM

Hells yea.

I only really want to see the one with the RedSuns FC3S

Now I guess I have to come to the next meet. Do you go to the Thursday night meets Troll?

**TROLL** · 08-06-2006, 08:23 PM

ah ha, found a way to lure you out... yes i'm normally at the thursday meets, however i wont be at the one this week due to a very recent development involving vip tickets to O.A.R.

Drftpretty · 08-06-2006, 08:24 PM

Well, if you dont have a date I would be willing to take a shot in the mouth for a seat and Initial D copy.

JK, Dont even think about PMing me lol

**TROLL** · 08-06-2006, 08:25 PM

ohhhhhhhhkay... i think the discussion was about cartoons...

Drftpretty · 08-06-2006, 08:29 PM

lol Yea.

So what exactly is Initial D about?

Mpower, Yes. I have seen that but I like Danny Phantom alot better. I have been on a kick with girls who have kids so I have an excuse as to why I watch cartoons lol.

Theres just something about a boy who goes through a portal to the land of the dead and comes back with the powers of the dead without the hassle of actually being decessed.

Renegade_ · 08-06-2006, 08:33 PM

I have every single episode of initial D on my external hard drive

Yeah, its big...like 14 gigs

Drftpretty · 08-06-2006, 08:34 PM

How many times can you watch them?

Aren't they dubbed? That would drive me crazy.

MPowerKai · 08-06-2006, 09:00 PM

I watch the subbed japanese version. I'm done with 4th stage

Renegade_ · 08-06-2006, 09:19 PM

subbed onry

dubbed sounds like a trainwreck in my ears

Initial D is, everything else aside, one of the most technically realistic cartoons involvong automobiles. THey use the correct engine sounds, overspeed warnings, BOV's, etc..

The story is interresting as well. It's about a kid who learns to drive delivering tofu for his father, who has him practicing while delivering(not spilling the water in the cup to ensure no jerky movoments of the car). He reluctantly becomes a racing hero to his friends after passing one of the best street racers without really trying. The rest follows him struggling to come to grips with his abilities. And there's the mandatory love interest and goofy friends.

You can get non-subtitled Tokyo Pop versions, but they are very "Fast and Furious" with the editing, and I think it takes away from the series. The technical aspect makes up for the subtitles.

I wish I had Space Ghost: Coast to Coast on my HD or DVD. That show was silly funny.

Scapegoat · 08-07-2006, 11:32 AM

Cartoon Network is the default channel. Whenever nothing is on that I intend to watch, CN goes on. Ben 10 is at what...5:30 I think? Its a decent cartoon. Cool premise.

Some cartoons would be a shiiiitload cooler if they weren't directed at kids and took on a more adult/violent theme.

Renegade_ · 08-07-2006, 11:43 AM

oh you want violent themes?

Elfen Lied my friend...

Elfen Lied....

If you know what I am talking about you understand haha

05GT · 08-07-2006, 12:38 PM

Ha. I'm married and my wife and I both watch Jimmy Neutron, Fairly Odd Parents, Danny Phantom, and Invader Zim together haha.

Nothing wrong with a little cartoonage.

xEJ20x · 08-07-2006, 09:46 PM

I love Initial D.
I currently have every stage on DVD, and Stage 4 as avi files, because some people are better at translating it into English.

And I also watch Avatar, because all the element-bending it based off chinese martial arts.

MPowerKai · 08-08-2006, 10:07 AM

I didn't know so many people still watched, I'm happy I am not alone. Yay!
