or lack thereof~
I can sort of relate to you rossmum, i am dyspraxic myself which comes under the same family of aspergers and i agree there seems to be alot of madness to the whole anime thing at the current moment.
The last time i watched Anime was when i was arround 14/15 when i watched Dragonball Z since then i've lost interest but that anime didn't consist on what now seems like a group of dwarfs with bush baby eyes, i personaly do not have a issue on someone enjoying anime that's their choice what i do not tolerate is when someone try to press their views onto me which is understandable.
I regulary talk to a friend of mine who lives in japan he watches a fair bit of anime but only animes like ghost in the shell or evangeleon [i've been badgered to watch those by a few others >_>] i've seen a few clips of those their not too bad but even still, i've really be taught to feel cartoons such as those are more for children than mature adults, futurama is good but other than that.
Anyway's i guess my point is you're not alone in your opinion on anime but i do find it a little much when you have waves of about 30 people all having the same picture in their signature.
The only Anime that I've enjoyed was Princess Mononoke. I haven't watched Spirited Away yet, but I hear that's on the same caliber.
Fun note about Princess Mononoke, they had it in the kids section of the local Family Video rental store back home because of the anime/cartoon nature of it. There's so much spewing blood in that movie (people getting beheaded and such) that I had to convince them to move it to a more appropriate section. It's not a kid's movie, it's a more mature anime than most other stuff out there and so thats why it stands out so much for me.
If you dislike all other anime you'll probably still enjoy Princess Mononoke.
I think its the big eyes. They hypnotize skinny white nerds into watching them do cute things :3. I don't particularly watch anime, but I look at it like any other show or cartoon. Most have deep and interesting plots, or if you watched shows like dragonball that don't revolve around lil gurlies, you know that everything that happens is fucking awesome. As for obsessing over the preteen factor, I think the majority of men have an edge towards younger women. Maybe I would watch anime too, If I wasn't already fucking a 14 year older. :realsmug:
I think its how they give girls the most impossible hair colors possible and try to put them into perverted environments.

It's just another medium and I enjoy being entertained as much as the next person. Sometimes its a lot better than actual actors, because there are no limits on what can be animated.
Trouble is, a lot of the animes on TV have English dubbing which tends to sound awful.Quote:
