Do you think there are levels in japanimation

Am I the only one that thinks there are levels to the types of japanimation people watch? I believe there are atleast 3 levels.

The kid animes - you got pokemon, yugioh, beyblade, etc.

Then beginners or intermediate - Dragonball, dragonball Z, Sailormoon, etc.

Then advanced who get into Akira, Trigun, Evangelion, and i also like 3x3 eyes.
Agree or Disagree?

I don't agree fully. Yeah, Evangelion is a hell of a lot more artistic than yugioh, but I don't think there is a lot of advancement. They both are there to entertain an audience...its just they are really different audiences.

>.< I don't agree with you 100%. I think it's just the target market that the companies are trying to apeal to. For instance some one could like shows from each catagory as you put it. I mean, I like Akira and 3x3 eyes but I also like Dragonball(Z) and yu-gi-oh, though not as much. I suppose it depends on personal preferences. Just because they may be of different styles or generes doesn't dampen the quality, I suppose.

What i mean is most people that start watching is because of those shows. Then after time work up to the others. I know most of the anime that i prefer are rare and hard to find. I digress any other opinions.

By levels, do you mean target audiences? If so, then yes.

Well to answer b3atr3d's question. I live in a small town in Georgia and there aren't many places to buy this stuff so when i find it it is usually over priced or it's the cut version and its no fun. I'm new to this forum but i have read a lot of the topics and things here and found several good anime i have never even heard of. Just for example... well nevermind i can't remember many of the names. Anyways they are difficult to find so i call them rare.

As for Aetherfukz I know most things can be and are put into such categories i just wanted to know how oothers thought and if they agreed with me.

Paizuri thats what i mean to a point, like i said i have been reading a lot and i was reading the topic on what got you started watching anime and it seemed to me that most of the people there went through similar stages. So i was curious.

I believe that he means less available. Not aired on US/UK TV for instance, not yet available on DVD... not even dubbed yet, etc. Ones that you either have to pay for or download, both can be pretty limited depending on your circumstances.

I'm a 16 year old living in the UK.

So what I get on TV is: Evangelion, DBZ, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo/Universe/In Tokyo, Yugi Oh, Pokemon, Zoids, Martian Successor Nadesico, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Beyblade, and various anime movies.

I've bought: Ranma S1-4+movies, DBZ specials, Street Fighter Movies, Samurai X, Bebop.

Have downloaded on my poor little 56k: Excel (urgh), Love Hina, Trigun(again, urgh).

I don't really categorise them in any way like Ryu-mata, only their genres. Just like any other TV.

thats the way it is limited selection and lack of sufficient funds.
