Why Anime Sucks:

All anime about one of several things. S-ex, Robots, Telepathic abilities, Monsters, or a mix of the aforementioned. It does not address real world issues, but rather flirts around them.

Anime is considered popular for only 2 reasons. 1) People watch it to escape their own pitiful harsh existence. 2) They watch it because they can empathize with these non-existent characters and think that if they watch the shows, someday a similar situation may arise in their life where they can do what they saw in their stupidly pathetic anime cartoon.

Now, let’s talk about the type of people who watch anime. Anime watchers (Known as "Anime Freaks" to the rest of the world) are typically socially retarded individuals who can't or don't wish to understand the mainstream crowd, so they decide to alienate themselves by hanging out with other people who are EXACTLY like they are.

Your typical anime freak will think they are "Unique". They take pride in their so called "individuality". They think that being the way they are is cool, because NOBODY else is like them. But there in lies one of life’s GREATEST ironies, because all anime freaks are ALIKE. They talk the same talk, they like the same shows, they act the same arrogant way, they even DANCE alike.

Yes, EVERY anime freak out there thinks they are the -blam!- for being "unique". They even consider it an INSULT if you call them normal, yet the monotonous fools are to stuck up to realize that they are ALL ALIKE. But of course, when you point that out, they change the topic, try to insult you, or cry. Able to easily dish out why mainstream society sucks, but not able to admit the shortcomings of their very own "infallible" world. Anime freaks are so caught up trying to everything they aren't, that they are a waste of resources.

They drag the importance of their natural culture as well. A typical remark to be heard is "We should all speak Japanese" or "I'm moving to Japan when I'm older". Of course, while they try so hard to pointlessly prove that Asian culture is more important and better then the culture they were born into, they seemingly forget that if it wasn't for the culture they are trying to rid themselves of, they wouldn't have the OPTION of choosing how they live.

For the most part, anime freaks are ungrateful, self-absorbed, resource wasting sacks of flesh that should be put right where they belong, in North Korea, where they can live in their epitome of the lifestyle they want to have so badly.

That is why Anime sucks.

Right....

Strangely, who is more "socially retarded" someone who watches anime, or someone who spends their time writing long rants about why anime sucks?

Just had to point out the irony.

Well all he said really had no point because he's classifying people.Obviously not everyone is like that.

Also there are animes that talk world issues like Grave of The fireflies which is about a sister and brother trying to survive in a war-torn japan near the end of the second world war after the village was firebombbed by the americans and there parents died they also witness the after effects of the atomic bombs and in the end die of starvation.

I watch a fair amount of anime, but I don't act like im unique and I don't tell anyone that we should speak japanese. The fact is, I instantly hate you because you classify people.

  • 07.25.2004 3:22 PM PDT

I don't like anime either, Master Grunty. But that doesn't mean I hate everyone who has a different opinion than I do. You aren't the center of the Universe, my friend. Surprise. Surprise. Not a smart thing to do. Not smart at all. All you've managed to do is made an ass of yourself. Unless that was your intention all along, in which case, congratulations on a job well done.

man, by nowadays standerds I think it an insult to be called normal. I watch cartoons not because, Oh, I have no social life, noone likes me so I'll watch cartoons and make myself like the people in them. I watch them because I ENJOY it, not because I want to see what I should be like in life, oh here's some advice, lay back on the boos when watching the show or posting these topics.

Banshee Barron: Should be the next mod. I personally love anime. (who ever posted this topic obviously hasn't seen most of the popular anime)

Banshee Barron, I am sending you in too the mods if you want me too. Banshee Barron has never flamed anyone for their oppinion. That's great! (and he doesn't even like stuff that I like) I think he deserves to be the next mod. (sorry to get off topic)

Its loosers like the person that started this , that deserve to be lined up and shot for their ignorance and prejedice(?).
I mean yeah i have met people like that and yes they did like anime.. but come on, i mean thats one example of one small section of morons( who arent exactly a whole unit away from yours) I love anime, but i watch it for the same reasons i watch Fraiser , play halo, or go to the movies... I like good stories, i like to laugh.
I dont know what you have against anime.. after all that ranting you didnt really make a point as to why it was bad.
Anime is great i dont care what anyone says and there are different types of anime you know. As for your point about it all being fantastic or unrealistic.. i mean all stories are fantastical. Like "Friends" I mean come on.. as if there are 6 people in the world exactly like that.... What about great anime like Azumanga Diaoh.. there isnt anything fantastical about that and its great... IF i go on any more i'm going to start rambling.. so maybe i'll post again soon...
PS See you Space Cowgirl.( :D ED RULES )

While your intentions are good, Bungie is really the only one that pick the mods. I'll put it this way, if they had wanted me to be a mod they would have picked me the first time around. I suppose I didn't have the right modlike qualities that they wanted or something. Go figure. ( I'm not saying I don't want to be a mod. I'd love to)

And plus, they probably don't want an eighth mod. It would kill of the entire "7" thing they have going.

I'll be on my own side.

grunty,your opinion on anime means absolutely nothing,contrary to what you probably believe. some people dont like anime,some do,and whether you like it or not doesnt matter to the rest of the forums. i dont like Disneyland,but that doesnt mean everyone else has to hate it,and i certainly dont go around making threads like this. keep your meaningless opinions to yourself unless it's something important. i really like anime,btw

Master Grunty, m'dear, not a smart thing to do. Not smart at all.


I agree, here here.

Akira is cool though.

I <3 Azumanga. The reason it's so great is the humor.

Also grunty, if you don't like something, keep it at that. Don't go making fun of the people that don't like it. I'm sure there's something that you like that I don't. I don't go making fun of what ever that is. Maybe you should do the same.
