Just wondering what everybody thinks will be the next big thing in anime, the next big "hit" such as another Cowboy Bebop or *cough* Ranma 1/2 (only cause Will will say it's great).
I've heard good things about Steam Boy, a new feature length movie coming out. But I don't think I've seen a decent full length since Princess Mononoke. Spirited Away was okay, but I liked Totoro more than that actually . . .
Let me know what you all are thinking.

The problem with judging things based on Japan is that its hit and miss. Take Big O for example it bombed big in Japan but was a big hit here. Sadly though the truth is if you want to find the next big thing just look to see what they really push. Because people buy and believe what their told to buy and believe.
Possibly Samuria(sp?) 7 Just came out in jap a month ago. My cousin showed me a few minutes of it. he downloaded the first three eps that where subtitled.(just days after it was released)Masteroftheweb wrote:I know what the next big thing is going to be, but I can't remember the name of it
it's something to do with ninjas... or some shit like that
I must be the only person in America that Likes Kiddy Grade. Hotter than hell in japan, but not here. oh well. Three more Dvd's. yay. Fuck the haters.
Inuyasha is good. don't see the prob with that. animation is nice.

Naruto!! I've heard about that anime and YES that is awesome! I got a chance to play the game the other day (my friend brought it back from Tokyo when he got back from his summer in Japan the other day). It's about a village of ninja's or something and they fight bad guys . . . lol, well, it's probably a mix between Roruni Kenshin, DBZ, and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha doesn't have the appeal . . . I mean something like Cowboy Bebop has a very good fanbase. Inuyasha is still in it's baby stages I think, and isn't really a mega hit in Japan.
But yes, Naruto! I think you're right that it will be the next big thing! Just wait until it comes out over here in the states!
