| Doobie_wop said: I've been watching anime since I was a little kid, I'm not entrenched into the culture and I don't buy into all the merchandising, but I do think anime is in a league of it's own in comparison to other media. I treat anime like I would treat normal TV shows, which means I would sit down and enjoy Death Note in the same way that I would with Law & Order. Some anime can be just as intelligent and thought provoking as books, TV shows and movies, but it sadly falls under the same wing that video games do (only for nerds) and instead everyone generalizes the whole thing. The worse thing to came out of the whole culture is the whole otaku scene, it's getting disgusting and it only hurts the image of anime. Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangalion, Gantz, Death Note, Samurai Champloo, Full Metal Alchemist and many other great animes are starting to be overshadowed by all this loli, Kawaii, K-ON bullshit, that taint what great anime really is. I sometimes worry that the industry will fall into obscurity, only because it's feeding this otaku niche, instead of attempting to push the other great animes that come along every week. |
I agree so bad with this post...
Did you watch an anime called Clannad? (And it's sequel - After Story)
Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
