If you were idly watching anime...

and then you saw a hot anime girl on the screen and fell in love with her then suddenly got sucked into her reality, what would you do? (note that after being sucked in you are now in anime form, you'll be you if you were an anime character. And note that hypothetically it would be like in Narnia where when you get back out no time would have passed in our universe and you'll be the exact age in the exact clothing you were in before you got sucked in)

Uh... run, and run very, very fast.

A. Because my wife would KILL me if I did anything.

B. Because, if you haven't noticed, male love intrests tend to get an awful lot of abuse in anime.

I'd use my knowledge as a bargaining chip for power and use my knowledge of her to woo her, all the while thinking of ways to either get back out if it was a bleak anime, save the world if I had to or get whoever I like out of whatever situation if need be.

Yeah, the anime part's not so hot. I wouldn't mind computer-generated, but I don't particularly like the idea of being in an animated world where I'd be technically under the total control of the animators.

My jaw would drop, my eyes would become spirals, and a large bead of sweat would appear next to my head.

Then people would see her in still frame walking away in the foreground with her eyes closed maybe talking to a friend or saying some kind of good bye over her shoulder while my arms and legs flail and everything behind me becomes motion lines.

And none of it would make much sense.

Well suppose you weren't under the control of the animators, suppose that some strange force made every action you do of your own free will appear magically in the show whether or not the animators agree with it or not.

I'm still not sure. I mean, I'd like the concept in general but I'm not sure if I'd be particularly keen on being in an animated world.

I'd probably unleash a raging torrent of profanities rivaled only by the growing mountain of confusion by the said female love interest as to why some guy popped out of nowhere and started cursing.

After I'd exhausted myself (or get cut off by extenuating circumstances, such as the bad guys showing up the girl slapping me to snap me out of it), I'd try to think about things logically and find a way out whilst wooing the girl with who I have fallen in love. The end results would probably be fit for an anime in of itself.

Anime sucks (http://www.animesucks.com)

Thats grossly biased. Most of them just argue that anime sucks because they emphasize on breasts. Well not all of them. Thats like saying pizza sucks because SOME have goat cheese in them. And the emotional emphasis part didn't have any merit whatsoever. So theres a pic of a girl, well that can't tell yo whether or not it's emotional or not, maybe if the picture was animated or if he had a movie for proof. And plus he obviously changed the dialogue and only put pics on that involved breasts. Well thats like saying all Christians suck because of the Phelps.

Any action would be influenced by whatever anime I happen to be in. Furthermore, role involvement matters. For example, if I was assigned as background class, I could literally run around throwing chunks of ham at random people and nobody would pay attention to me.
Siph
08-03-2007, 06:45
Yes. LOL you could watch yourself making faces in the background in the anime you entered.

So you could do anything that wouldn't get you immediately killed. I guess it would depend on the anime then.

Of course. But the claim obviously isn't serious.

Listen, I hang around with people who think they hate anime all day, and while the topic doesn't often come up, I know that they wouldn't know enough to make a site like that.

Well, if it was an(the) anime I liked(cowboy bebop), I'd have a 50/50 chance of surviving the first minute of being in the show, depending on whether or not I apeared in the middle of a gunfight. If it wasn't, then I'd probably just go streaking and leave. Or just stay for a while if possible to see what it's like. Then go streaking and leave if I don't like it.

Could we come back to the anime later?

I'm assuming that the anime characters have some kind of sentience and free will while you are there... and that what was set to happen is nil because you came in and messed everything up. Because if not, it'd be boring overall, seeing as everyone would just continue on as if you didn't exist. :(

But if so, it depends on the anime. I bet I'd have kick-ass powers though... :D

well i am obssessed with haruka from Kimi Ga nozomu eien(rumbling hearts), so if i were in theat anime i would take an Ak-47 and kill Takayuki. After that i would hook up with haruka, and when mitsuki tries to draw me away from haruka, i would take that AK and Blow Mitsukis haed off,oo-rah. Alls wells that ends well i guess, well execpt for haruka and mitsuki

I'd go master villain. Get cooler look, cooler weapons, lots of money and a maniacal laughter. I'd have the hero killed (no I'm not attempting it myself, I'd just use a simple trap). Of course, I know the Evil Overlord rules!
Then, I'd turn to the good side and assume the hero role, thus having access to the girl.

the world will be destroyed... so my objective isn't to save the world, but to be standing on one particular spot when it does go boom.

first I'll join the military. become a Garland Operator, then do whatever it takes to be assigned on to Self Defense Force.

then, when the prototype Garland is stolen, and the Biker gang starts their bruhaha, sneak away to the lower levels, and enter the sealed block. then wait for the aliens to show.

Unless the anime world was the Ranma 1/2 world and I was able to make my way to China to fall into the Jusenkyou Spirit of the Drowned Girl pool, then I'd leave and never return.

Actually, if I could keep my curse in the real world I'd be fine with that.

Ah, you'd like to have Ranma's curse too? Thought it was just me.

That one Nyanneechuan, spring of drown girl. There very tragic story of young girl that drown in spring 1, 500 year ago. Now who ever fall in that spring take body of young girl.

Okay...I don't generally fall in love with anime characters, no matter how hot they are. I'd get sucked into Naruto, probably. It'd most likely be Sakura or Ino, and I'd yell at them for being Sasuke fangirls (I can be very abrasive at times) and hide behind Kakashi.

Man, you're alot less lenient than I would be in your situation.

If I found myself in the Naruto Universe, I wouldn't leave until I left that dimension in ashes.

Nope. About 16. Or - if the Herb story in Ranma doesn't fail me - same age as the male version.

Hmmm...

Same age as the male version is acceptable. 16 is too young.

Kinda hard to tell with the curse. Some curses seem to age (Pantyhose Taro for example), whereas those curses that given ages (Ryouga) seem to be stuck in their curse age.

Technically the Nyanneechuan is just spring of drown girl, so I would assume you'd be the same age as you started, but...

On the other hand, Takahashi-sama made note that we shouldn't think too hard about this.

I've always thought that Ranma's curse was a sly comment on gender roles in Japan, especially as Ranma is very much a traditional Japanese male in many regards.

Well if you are a minor character your chances aren't too hot in many of them but in shows like Last Exile or Scryed your chance of death is pretty high even for the big characters.

Yes, well, considering Ranma-chan does seem to age along with Ranma, I would presume that in all likelihood anyone else who fell in the same pool would also have their curse age, or at least I would hope, anyway.

And I'm pretty sure you're right about the gender role bit. Unfortunately, I never got past the first season of the show so I know nothing about what happened after that. I've seen enough references to other stuff via Megane 6.7's MST series to know at least some though. I don't know why I never bothered to watch the other seasons.

I'm trying hard to think of another anime I'd be interested in going in to...maybe Chrono Trigger if we can take the cutscenes made for the PSX port to be enough to warrent the Chronoverse as a reality to enter...if that's the case then I daresay I would prefer that over Ranma 1/2.

considering my anime...

the world will be destroyed... so my objective isn't to save the world, but to be standing on one particular spot when it does go boom.

first I'll join the military. become a Garland Operator, then do whatever it takes to be assigned on to Self Defense Force.

then, when the prototype Garland is stolen, and the Biker gang starts their bruhaha, sneak away to the lower levels, and enter the sealed block. then wait for the aliens to show.

that would assure that I would be in that sealed block as the world ship is destroyed and thus be one of the few survivors to make it back to Earth.


guess the movie!

Zomg Megazone 23 (aka Robotech the Movie)!

Anyway, like Junii, I would also be sucked into a mecha universe, but Gundam instead. Preferably UC, just so I don't get killed in seconds by a stray shot by Kira or Heero. As a grunt MS pilot, I would attempt to work my way up the ranks through incredible feats of piloting. Perhaps changing major historical events in the timeline. I'm assuming those on NSG from Ireland don't appreciate having a 20 mile long space colony dropped on Dublin?

That's why you watch fansubs, which tend to be truer to the original and are often superior in translation ability as well. Still, I can see where you're coming from when it comes to unpleasantness...a few anime styles are rather unpleasant to me as well. But, I like cute, and for the most part anime is cute in one fashion or another despite the seriousness of the anime at hand, so I like it. Each to their own, I suppose. I mostly overreacted, and for that I do apologize.

Megazone 23... a great classic.

Gundam X is an alternate world Gundam. "What if the colony drop succeeded."

Typical plotline, a kid is hired to rescue a kidnapped girl from some pirates, and in the process finds an old Gundam with a very, very powerful weapon.

but it's the nice twists in the tale that make up for the unorignal plotline.
