yes, you are the only one.

btw: I didn't read your post, just saw your vague thread title and decided this would be an appropriate response.

Thread rule #2:

Thread titles must be work safe, descriptive and on topic. Keep the language in thread titles clean. We don't restrict language usage in posts (up to a point), but thread titles are a different matter. Whatever luridly foul things you wish to say about Luigi, you can find a work safe euphemism for the title. Also, letter substitution fools nobody, but strings of unpronounceable symbols are acceptable. Now for the descriptive and on topic bit. It's very simple - use the thread title to sum up or describe what you are saying in your post. Do not use the title as a deceptive hook to lure people in. Do not post something useless like "How do I..." and have the question in the post. Use a game's full name rather than just a abbreviation of it. Starcraft instead of SC. Star Control 2 instead of SC2. Soul Caliber 3 instead of SC3. SimCity 4 instead of SC4. Abbreviations mean different things to different people, so Be Specific. Also, be careful about using the word "official" or "perpetual." Do not simply declare your thread official by fiat. Threads are only "official" or "perpetual" if management says so. In a decision between two threads on the same topic, the thread with the most clear thread title will take priority over the thread with a more obscure topic, even if the latter is posted first.

You must be watching some really crappy anime, some anime I enjoyed more than the biggest movies ever made. Do you remember what you watched by any chance?

There are a lot of low budget crappy anime made with generic stories and characters.

Other way around I dislike most JRPGs but I love anime!

There's some serious wrong going on in this thread. Why hate manga or anime? I mean seriously. There is always crap with any entertainment form. I've seen some bad bad JRPGs, but I don't hate JRPGs. Find some better anime or manga.

This!

I don't get the "Can't stand the art, hate the story and characters are lame." part. It sounds like all animes share the same story and characters :P
