Digimon Adventure is good. I like that the characters don't really fit the into the everyday "anime character tropes" or normal "Japanese families".

Adventure 02 is sh!t. Bad characters, bad writing, an infamously awful ending. The only good stuff is Ken and episode 13(guess who wrote that one).

Tamers is great, very different from the first two shows, but I would say it is the best Digimon show.

Frontier is pretty good. The final big bad is a Lucifer-themed Digimon with Freeza's voice actor.

Savors sucks.

Xros Wars has its moments but overall it is Toei's answer to Gurren Lagann.

I agree with all of this, besides Savers. (I haven't seen much of Xros Wars)

Savers has some really good Ideas. 
Digi-Soul IMO is the best Digivolution medium in the series it really showed how much Digimon need human partners.
Savers did the child raised by animal plot really well, it's just a shame that Savers had the worst Digital World I've seen.
Those three evil Digimon users that parodied Frontier were good villains.

My main problem with Savers are the heroes and the villains and the last half of the plot

Besides the jungle kid and the three evil Digimon users I didn't like anyone in the show.
And the last part of the plot with Yggdrasill and the Royal Knights felt out of place with this series.

Savers had some problems, but I don't think it sucked.

Digimon was always cool because it had good characters.

Like you said, Savers had no good characters. So Savers was the worst show out of all the Digishows.

The other the name escapes me atm, but theres this chick in it who used to be a singer, then turned into a porn star, in which this creepy stalker dude, does what creepy stalked dudes do, anyways someone tries to kill her, and in place of him who tries to save her it was her fat friend who at the end dresses up like her and dances with a knife trying to kill her.


That's Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue.

But she never became a porn star or anything (though there could have been an attempted rape somewhere in the movie...) + SPOILERS the fat friend was the stalker all along... IIRC


...
As to insane anime, well, Gantz and Air Gear are such. And I love those for that overpowering abnormal insanity.

Not much substance though (as opposed to Lain, EVA and Perfect Blue), lest you interpret something out of Gantz or something (I did... kinda)!

1. MANLINESS in quantities over a certain amount do not fight, they bro, thus multiplying their MANLINESS, while quantities under a certain amount are extinguished in the face of true MANLINESS. This is why you find so many fans of Fist of the North Star who also love Jojo's, but you hardly ever find anyone who takes DBZ seriously who likes either of the other two series: DBZ just isn't manly enough.
2. Chuck Norris jokes? Really?



Also, back onto the subject of Lovecraft in anime, did anyone happen to catch Haiyore! Nyaruko-san earlier in the year? I was pretty surprised to find this reference to tabletop RPGs on Japanese tv in any form, animated or not.

You answer your own question. MANLINESS.

Jojo has FABULOUS MANLINESS. And FABULOUS MANLINESS will always be better than normal MANLINESS and gay-fearing dinosaur-hating Chuck Norris.

Anyway Dragon Ball was never about "MANLINESS", but Satan was quite manly.

Fabolous manliness doens't exist. It's a mtyh perpetuated by non-manly wusses who think themselves manly, but in reality only serve as as joke material for real men.

Yeah "Fabolous manliness" does not exist. That is why I said "FABULOUS MANLINESS", and yes it does exist.

Yes it does indeed.

You really are mature!

Real men have no fear of being called gay.

@ eroeru thought so. But I'm positive she did do either a nude shoot or a sex tape, but its been years. Now that show was wack.

Anyways moving on

Watching Break Blade atm, its so-so though I'm getting tired of all the flash backs -_-.

Okay you got me, but he does hate evolution. I just thought it was funnier to say he hates dinosaurs.
