Do you watch or see?
I am a huge anime buff. Anything from something old and classic like Doraemon to something a bit more modern day and serious like Death Note, I love anime. But like many, I don't just watch to see what'll happen but I watch to see WHAT makes it good, see character development. I basically pay attention so small detail and enjoy analyzing the anime, good or bad, for it's most redeeming and it's worst qualities. I also enjoy discussion.
I saw the Detective Conan movie ( in USA: Case Closed) "The Fourteenth Target" tonight. It's on the old side because it was one of the first Conan movies made in 1998. Even though the animation wasn't great, the story was well thought out, the characters were in Character, there was character development everywhere and it has plenty of action with a bit of romance. It was by far one of my favorite Conan movies and defiantly a classic. Much better then some of the more recent up to date movies that have been released within the last few years.
Now, I have mainly two reasons for bringing this movie up and that'll help bring me to my next point. Although I do love discussion, many fans aren't into discussing something media related ( anime/movie/TV or not) in the least and simply say: "It's just a show. Get over it." It's really discouraging, because for MANY movies, animated films or not there are many people that work VERY hard to make these movies as good as they are. And a lot of famous screenwriters and artists write and draw out these beautiful/amazing stories for a reason. (like Miyazaki's films for example) and these movies ( to me anyway) feel like they were made to be talked about and aren't just some filler entertainment to laugh at like Family Guy.
So Here's my question, ( sorry for the ramble ) Do you watch your anime/movies like I do? ( even look through comics in the same way) and is it ever hard to find good conversation when you want to express your thoughts about the movie you just watched and get opinions from others?
Do you watch to watch or are you watching for something more?
