Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Page 3

Oz was season 3 I think. But I never liked him very much. He just wasn't that interesting. I guess cool just doesn't do it for me. ^^

see, i liked oz, he made me laugh, but i wasn't sad when he left, i think "cool" got old...

oh, Adam was pretty wicked, i loved how deep he was :P

Omg I LOVED that show. I started watching it right after it ended, they started it from the beginning on Space here in Canada. My favorite character though was Spike. He was funny, cool and probably how I would be if I were a vampire lol. Not to mention he had some pretty hot girls (Buffy included lol).

kami · 04-22-2008, 11:54 PM

Now I'm wondering if a lot of people who like anime also like Buffy. Because this thread is doing a lot better than I thought it would.

Sola · 04-22-2008, 11:55 PM

Lol its highly possible. Or maybe people who like buffy like anime O.o.. now THATS weird.

kami · 04-23-2008, 12:00 AM

Which did you watch first? I should ask that question to myself, but I think I got addicted to both around the same time...

Sola · 04-23-2008, 12:01 AM

I didnt really watch Anime Anime until after, but if you consider Pokemon and DBZ real anime then that was first.

kami · 04-23-2008, 12:04 AM

Same here I guess. I watched DBZ while I was still in elementary school, I think. But I never got past the part with kid boo (probably spelled wrong).

Back to Buffy... What do you think about how they deal with homosexuality on the show?

DanyDaray · 04-23-2008, 08:01 AM

Well, at first they were afraid they'd be burned at the stake if they got too explicit with that topic *lol*
but they relaxed in later seasons.... I mean, remember the first kiss between Willow and Tara - we never saw it, they blew out the candle but everybody knew what happened. Later on there was no censoring of their love anymore.
And then there was Andrew ("u know, Tucker's brother" *gg*) in season six and seven. First he was so in love with Warren, which was funny, and it was just so sweet how he had a crush on Spike... But because he never was a main character ('evil-super-villain' in s6, 'ex-evil-super-villain-tied-to-a-chair-most-of-the-time' in s7) his sexual preferance was only hinted. Remember when Warren, Jonathan and Andrew watched Spike and Anya having Sex in the Magic Box? The other two were like "Yeah, Anya!" and Andrew was like: "Spike's soooo cool...." looks at his friends in obvious panic, adds: "I mean, Anya's hot, too!" lol lol lol
Andrew had just the same fears as the producers had when they first came up with that topic in the Tara/Willow arc. How does the world react?

i wouldn't be too surprised to find that a lot of buffy fans are anime fans (or vice versa). The reason the show appealed to me so much was it flowed well, which happens in anime, i like story archs...

it's also the genre: fantasy.. well anime's fantasy :P

homosexuality? I think it was alright... not too much and it was there. I think it handled it very well. I think tara and willow's kiss was the first lesbian kiss on a television show..
