Japanese anime sucks! I don't know why people like stories about blue haired japanese children who've recently had their fathers killed saving the world against a man that you think is a woman until he speaks?!!?!?!?!?!?!?

Haha...True most anime is pretty weird. But I mean that's why most people like it. It's different.

I like anime because the art and story line is much deeper than american cartoons.

Yea whats not to like about teaching a Polar Bear from space how to sing Japanese folk songs. Or flying kittens. The only thing i like about anime is seeing those people on T.V dressed up as their favorite characters. I laugh so hard sometimes. I mean what losers! Do they have nothing else to do?!

While I agree that most anime, especially kids' ones, really suck (like Yu-gi-oh and Inuyasha), some of the Sci-fi/fantasy ones like Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun are pretty cool.

I hate anime but it's -blam!- adictive. They story just sucks you in.

Anime fans out there, I have a question for you. Why the hell are the bad characters always sophisticated men that have long hair and look like women?

No really, why?

So I've noticed.

I've seen a couple of anime shows, and the bad characters are like that every stinking' time. They need some originality over in Japan, if you ask me.

I guess it's just an anime tradition, like people breaking up in soap operas.

They aren't.


They aren't like that in every anime show... that I havn't seen. ;-)

Meh, I still don't understand why anime is so popular. I just see it as a passing fad, I guess. It's really a matter of preference if you like it or not- and I don't like it.

I have another question.
Why is that no matter how short the girls skirts are in the show, you can never see up them? Just curious.

Errrr... you see not all anime is flying kittens and stuff.

That kind of stuff is only on the TV channels you watch.


Check some Anime out thats not on TV and you'll get violence, swearing, and girls with massive boobs.

-S

Because in Japanese culture, effeminate men are considered sexy. So, they meet the stereotype of the "sexy villain."

And if you don't think Western cultures have this stereotype, pick up a good vampire movie and think again.

I don't watch cartoons or TV. Just MXC once in a while. Like, barely ever. And Seinfeld sometimes.

Tell me what a 'good' vampire movie is and I'll hold you to that (Not counting Nosferatu or BS's Dracula).

And that is exactly why I'm moving to Japan when I get my BA. Well, part of the reason at least.

And just a little something to piss of the haters... I just spent over $200 (CDN) on the first five Last Exile dvds.

I can understand how people who only see the kind of anime shown on standard American television would get the wrong impression. Go out and watch some real anime, not this Saturday morning bs. Last Exile, for example, is far more gorgeous and mesmerizing than anything I've seen come out of western animation houses.

I won't go on trying to covince everyone 'cause frankly, I don't give a damn. I'm smack in the middle of the best series I've ever seen and I'm absolutley euphoric. You don't have to like it, just don't go spreading hate about it.
