I've seen bits and pieces on TV, but I never stuck around to watch an entire episode... For the same reason I eventually lost interest with Sailor moon, Card Captor Sakura, and the like. A lot of anime that's based on manga, in order to generate an entire season for TV, often has more filler than plot, and you end up with a monster/problem/moral/et cetera-of-the-week. Besides which, I just didn't like the English voices... For me, it seems that they're okay for cartoons, but not anime... I don't know why, exactly. It just doesn't seem to match, to me.
In any case, I just don't feel comfortable roleplaying in an environment where I'm pretty much ignorant of the universe or theme. It makes me unsure of what I can do, and what I can't, and that indecision stunts my imagination.
