Hi Redkit!
What sakuratsukishiro said. I can't speak for
all of the different animes you mentioned,
because I haven't seen them all. I did like the
few episodes of [Japanese] Cowboy Bebop I saw and
Card Captor Sakura was cute.
I can feel totally at ease defending Sailormoon,
and I'm not a boy and I'm not 8 years old. (Try
23 year-old professional female. Er...female in
a profession, that sounds better. :P)
I hated the dubbed version of Sailormoon, and I
could never sit down to watch an episode on the
Cartoon Network without feeling a little
embarrassed. So if you're basing your judgements
from U.S. television dubs, I can completely
understand your point of view. The subtitled
version, however, is completely different. If
you really hated the show, I would suggest giving
the Japanese subbed S or Stars seasons some
airtime before completely passing judgement.
They're nothing at all like what's aired over
here. I imagine that's true for a lot of anime
shows out there.
Obviously I'm a big fan of Sailormoon, since that
is primarily what I collect. That having been
said, even Sailormoon can't compare to Utena.
That anime is truly awesome, and is another good
example of how bad dubbing can ruin a show.
(What did they do to Wakaba's voice? Everyone
else just sounds like they're on crack.) -_-*
Another of my two cents,
