Hax-unfair, cheaters, always wins, etc...

Just search it in urban dictionary...

Like Yugi from Yu Gi Oh
Jubei from Yu Gi Oh GX
Ash Ketchum from Pokemon
Asuma Kasuma from Yakitake!! Japan
And Kira Yamamoto from Gundam Seed/Destiny

Here's a proof:

Thats why I dont want to watch gundam series anymore. THEY'RE OVERPOWERED!

Unlike in the first series of Gundam.

The Gundam there are important part of their military power, but not that it can slice or destroys one army in one hit, what I've mentioning are the gundam series UC.

Unlike just now. Its more like they've created by God or something...

Yeah I agree with it. Kira Yamato is portrayed like a God that no one can defeat him. Unlike the past Gundam series where pilots even though they are skilled, are shown in times of defeat and capture.

Example in Gundam Wing, there are parts in the show that the pilots themselves cannot easily defeat the enemy even though they are inside their Gundams. Also, they are shown to be captured by enemy forces. the pilots themselves are just well-trained.

While in SEED/Destiny, you can see Kira using his Gundam to blast all the enemies and he looks like he never break a sweat. Ironically, Kira has no pilot experience, he has info implanted to him genetically.

I think the Gundam series was screwed up. I think its because the Gundam series today have different creators, unlike before. For me, Gundam G was better. YEAH! its a super robot anime like Voltes V, Combatler V and Gheto Robo but I think this story was better than the SEED series...

I think thats why the SEED series arent that popular with long time Gundam viewers...

Yup, Carol, I agree with you. Even my friends from HS days don't like SEED. They like the old Gundam series better. SEED's story sucks because it's scriptwriter is a woman and the wife of the director.

oh that's harsh katsushiro but i do agree with you, its not like the director can fire his own wife or else he wouldnt get any Laughing

but to answer your question to y they like seed well, first of all the characters look like girls like athrun and that somehow is found appealing. second is that kira doesnt lose like conventional plot theme so i guess they find it appealing. i watched the show and well it wasnt horrible cause i liked it but its not exactly the best.

So, this is more like a bishonen anime just to attract girls? Is that you want to say, sakib? Confused

BUT GUNDAM WAS A SHONEN ANIME! >.<

Why it turned out to be like a girly anime!

In Bleach, Don says that as a hero he is not allowed to lose. So i guess thats why?

anyway a number of animes are moving away from it e.g. One Piece, Shaman King

Neither Shinji, Asuka nor Rei are "haxed," I think. Even though they are able to defeat all of the Angels (in the original ending) a great deal of suffering is incurred upon them.

Lain isn't godlike. She's an average girl. Well...I guess she is godlike, since she is the reason the physical world exists. Point is that she doesn't realize that and doesn't act like it.

I assume you're only talking about action-ish anime, like Champloo, Gundam, Cowboy Bebop, etc. that the characters are uber powerful. Otherwise I'd point out that no character in any romance anime I've seen has had superpowers =3

Sakib>>>> yup, I may be harsh but the Gundam series did a terrible job on SEED/Destiny. That's the truth.

Stryker>>>> I agree with you, The EVA pilots are not "hax". They did defeat the Angels but after a great deal of suffering.

And why did they defeat a boss or an enemy in a last critical or desperate moment? Like when the enemy actually defeat the hero, the hero suddenly charged up and blow the enemy into pieces... Or when Yugi was out of options in his card he actually gets a powerful card to defeat the enemy in one turn...

cause yugi is channeling the spirits of yami who can control the gods or sumtin and those gods manipulate the cosmic order so yugi will always win atleast in my opinion
