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 think you are over-simplifying.

Anime is as complex and varied as American Movies.

Some anime are just made for marketing and entertainment.. some are more artistic

some are made for purposes beyond making money

It's a complicated issue... one made more complicated because the appretiation of art is subjective.

I mean... if someone sees a painting and says "it's crap"... well... sure, they can feel that way... but if they have no grasp of art and the language of art (and the history of art) is that opinion very valid?

Anyway... yes... I think there are levels in anime... but it is MUCH more complicated then the levels you propose.

Some people would, but as Milo said, opinions are subjective.

:? ...wasn't DBZ made for an older crowd? I mean didn't they edit out all the 'inapropriate' parts? I heard Vegeta had a *cough* potty mouth?

He does, infact most do. I think it gets better in GT but, ether way i wouldn't call it a kid show its just something that catches the eye yet it isn't... i don't know how to explain it. It just doesn't seem to be up to the quality of alot of the others. Its not as radical a change from some american animations to me. This ofcourse is all my opinions.

As i said in the beginning, "in atleast" i understand there are many many ways to classify. this was just one of my personal thoughts. I could never classify all anime iin these three groups. Or in any number really.

as UncleMilo said it's rather complexbut anime is like anything you can have knowledge about. When you first start off you know about only a few as you progress you collection of tapes and DVD's grows and your knowledge about different titles, the industry, and Japan itself grows along with it. I've actually given this a LOT of though over the last few years of being involved in anime. Right now I have over 80 tapes and DVD's in my collection and a bunch of anime related models, posters, scrolls, books, magazines (almost the full run of manga max, which was untill recently in my oopinion the best english language anime and manga mag) Levels in anime have a lot to do with how long you've been watching and what varitey of things you expose yourself to. For further info. Otaku no Video is a great look at the life we choose.

gee, sorry for so many words, maybe I have too much time to think about these things

You can never have too much time to think about something. :) So essentially you believe that peoples interests grow considering what is available to them?

well, I belive that when someone is serious about something they'll activly seek out as much about it as they can find. Like after I first saw Castle of Cagliostro I looked for as much Lupin III info and movies/tv I could find and I added several hard to find Lupin tapes to my collection. or I first saw Akira about 8 years ago in junior high, nad I became very interested in anime so I seeked it out at the video stores watching anything I could get a hold of. I guess I belive that if your really interested you'll make more avaliable to you, then it starts to grow expotentally
