[QUOTE="Stone Dog, post: 3333403, member: 16705"] Actually, I meant to compare it to kinds of movies because it is set up from a different cultural perspective. Some people don't dig on the sub culture of horror fandom or fantasy or whatever and some people have a bit of a disconnect because of the different perspective between America (or native country of choice) and Japan (or korea or wherever it came from). It happens, no big deal. I fully understand that the aesthetics of it bother some people. Can't get past the style that things are drawn in regardless of whether they are big eyes small mouth or fairly realistic with some "traditional" influences. No problem. Tarring the whole medium with the tentacle rape brush is what is unfair. And Tarek... I guess I see your point, but I still don't recall the "its all a dream anyway" bits. It may have been a while. Most of the anime I've seen neatly avoids all that though. I think that for every Evangelion there is something like Escaflowne or Witch Hunter Robin where not everybody goes nihilisticly nutso. You want to see depressing nihilism taken to an almost absurd degree watch X sometime. There is some neat stuff in there, but when you watch the movie... Oh god... to me it was almost the definition of unintentionally hilarious. Severed head fetish movie... Oh man I should dig that thing up again. I'll agree though that those that you mentioned WERE some of the first exposures America had. Between that and tentacle porn being the most commonly imported in the early days it is no wonder that misconception is so popular. Azathoth? For a gibbering idiot monstrosity you post fairly well. ;) [/QUOTE]
