<p>I was just reading a thread and saw an Anime avatar, i don't know why but i got really angry. That made me think of people i know who watch and love Anime and i kind've got more pissed off.</p><p>I don't get it at all, the only Anime i ever watched was Cowboy Bebop and that was maybe a handful of times, that might even be a stretch(also assuming that CBB is Anime at all).</p><p>What's worse are the hardcore fans, the ones who actually want retarded Japanese nicknames and wear the crazy, noisey fashion. </p><p>I know to each their own but seriously, they are fucking weird and obnoxious.<br /></p>

<p>I have to disagree with you, at least in part. I agree that the "extremists" are annoying and that there is some really crappy anime out there, but there is also a lot of really great anime. Just like there are crappy American movies/shows and great American movies/shows, there is a wide variety of quality in anime.</p><p>I enjoy the fact that the Japanese have used animation to create entertainment for all ages and for almost every taste available, not just the kid's cartoons that dominate American animation. The artwork and attention to detail are absolutely incredible in some of the productions and the complexity of the storylines can rival that of the best live action movies. Plus, it's hard to beat the action and fluid motion of many anime movies.</p><p>If you want to see a good example, check out "Princess Mononoke" - it was released a few years ago, but it is a beautiful film artistically with a solid story to back it up.</p><p>And, again, I'm not trying to "sway" you. I just think it isn't fair to judge all anime as crap.</p><p>Hey - if you don't like it, it don't make you a bad person <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/bye.gif" border="0" /></p>

I've never really gotten into anime, but I do love Cowboy Bebop. I haven't watched it in like a year or two, is it still on Adult Swim?<br />

The only thing more annoying and nauseating than Anime is an Anime fan explaining to you why you should be watching Anime. They always claim that the stories are so awesome and the art is spectacular, but that can never overshadow the fact that you are watching a creepy cartoon. </p>

MadMatt made many good points. The storylines in some anime series are amazingly complex and compelling. I really haven't bought anything new in many years, but I still check out whats new in Chinatown.

It's definitely can be pretty intimidating, but it's just like D&D, or larping, Star Trek, Comic Books or anything else involving fantasy worlds. For some, it's about the mythology, the creativity behind the fantasy worlds, the warriors, the creatures, and appreciating the minds who came up with it. For others, it's the intense animation, and realism (not in content but in appearance), the visual aspect of it that fascinates. Blood, violence, and nudity that you don't get with American animation. But again if you're not into any of the pasttimes I mentioned earlier, then you're not going to get Anime.<br />

<p>Just like other cartoons, there's lots of Anime stuff that sucks. But there's also some of it that's OK. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I do like Cowboy Bebop and some other stuff I've seen that's Anime.</p><p>It's all right in my book.</p><p>Plus, I think the "Fanatics" of ANYTHING can get annoying. Just balance it in your life, don't make it your life.</p>

<p>i am not acting obsessively, if i was i would be posting here nonstop about it, every post i have made has been after something you said, and I am just responding to what you have written. <br /></p><p> AH yes pull the female card which makes absolutely no sense in this argument as most of the people I know of who watch anime and are hardcore into it are females, most of the men I know laugh at it because like you said it is cartoons and nothing more. </p><p>I agree with BeerBandit </p>

<p>I enjoy the japanese toonage. I remember when it was impossible to find it in stores and shit, and you'd find friends who had videotapes they got from flea markets and shit.</p><p>All anime means is it's a japanese cartoon. No more, no less. It's the extremists (aka otaku) who just take it way too far. I appreciate the art styles of those artists because they come from a different background and have different influences. It's the same reason I'll go to a museum and look at paintings or read a book. To me it isn't about where it came from, it's about whether I'm watching something with a compelling story and good art. </p>

<p>It's odd, I could never really get super into Anime. I've watched plenty of it and enjoyed it, but I wouldn't say I loved any of it more than other things. And I'm usually really into fantasy. It's the opposite of why Ron said he hated Lord of the Rings - it's too far removed from day to day life - I usually like things that are as removed from day to day life as humanly possible. But sometimes anime just gets to be too much. Like a friend who loves Fullmetal Alchemist was explaining its plot to me the other day and I had to suppress the urge to just say "Come on! That's stupid!" But on the other hand, I like FLCL because it is so ridiculously absurd. But I think it's because the absurdity in that show is used more for symbolic purposes about dealing with adolescence, etc.</p><p>The art I don't know about. I've watched shows that have been done in that style since I can remember like the adventures of Belle and Sebastian. So I'm sort of used to it I guess. </p>

<p>Berserk is the only anime I've gotten into in over a decade. Started watching it a couple years ago and I loved it. The Century-Slayer, the Black Swordsman, whatever ya call him... most bad-ass character ever....</p><p> </p><p>http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e68/jenosyde/berserk29jp.jpg </p><p> </p><p> </p>

I saw one, Legend of the Overfiend II, in which the opening scene showed several women meeting their fate on a Nazi Death/Rape machine. Distrubing stuff.<br />
Whenever I see one of those scenes I just can't stop laughing. And I've seen many. <br />

Anime is allright but ends up being too preachy and alll the stories just seem to bleed togeter. For me it was a high school thing, I mean i love American comics too much to go back to Japanese animation Roger Smith is no substitute for Batman and Goku aint no Superman,
