The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Stitch! Anime

Personally for me, I just flat out HATE this adaption to the series...

Why? Well, here's just a couple of reasons on why I dislike it;

1. Lilo is hardly in it. I do know for a fact that she was featured in the anime at some point, but then never seen again. For the most part, she's been replaced by Yuna, yet another blatantly obvious Mary-Sue. <_< Seriously man, it only took her FIVE FREAKING MINUTES to bond with Stitch, while it took Lilo an ENTIRE movie! Not only that, but Yuna was actually able to nearly defeat Stitch with her moves; black belt or not, you can't just be as strong as Stitch and nearly win... Unless you're 627 or Leroy.

2. Some of the characters don't act as they should, case and point, Angel, or experiment number 624 as she's often called. Seriously, she's every freaking female cliche' in the book; she's a freaking gold digger who only loves Stitch if he goes out and buys her expensive crap! I mean, what the heck? Angel never acted that way in the original series! Sure, you could give me the argument that it's just how Japan views the characters, but I honestly don't care... They completely ruined Angel's character for me...

3. They don't even bother to teach you about the Japanese culture throughout the series, unlike that in the original, where you learn all different types of Hawaiian sayings and customs.

Case and point, I really hate this anime.

If you're one of those who likes it just fine, then I really have nothing against you.

This is just my own thoughts on it.

I didn't like Stitch when it was just a movie. So hell no to this.

I don't like it too much either, for every reason you point out. The ONLY thing I like about it, the ONLY thing, is Sparky, aka Experiment 221. I only bothered watching the episode with him in it. He was evil and junk, but I can blame the mind-control for that. At least they made my fave experiment hardcore, but then they hardly ever show him again... And they made him a hair-dresser?! Wtf?! :blink: Surely Japan, with all its high-tech gadgets, can find better use for an electrical experiment than that! :slap

So, besides that little sparkplug, I don't like the anime too much. Not even that good deed counter. Stitch should be doing good because he wants to be good, not because he's forced to do it.

Yeah, Sparky's one of my favorites, too. Along with Reuben, Slushy, and 627. And Stitch, of course! ;)

It's an adaptation. You can't expect everything to be exactly the same. I'm rather neutral to the anime. I don't watch it, but I don't hate it. I see no reason to hate it myself. It's just an adaptation, a different take on Stitch. Nothing wrong with that.

The movie was bland.

And now for this from Pirates Games All Colors Space Baby.
