This is a natural reaction when we get together and discuss topics. Sometimes we'll agree on stuff and sometimes we'll disagree. That's what fun about debating, discussing, etc. Anyways, you have to admit that its natural that someone will feel a 'need' to defend something they enjoy when they percieve someone else disliking it. Like when someone says, "I hate Lord of the Rings because of xxxx." Y'know that's going to bring a boat load of defenders.Well, I love anime...so I gotta jump in now after two of these comments. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I'm sure the two of you are sick of hearing people trying to change your minds, but I gotta be another one.While you may hate anime for multiple reasons, I can't imagine the names being a major one. It sounds to me (and this is only my opinion mind you of what I'm guessing) that you guys have a series of major reasons why you hate anime, and the names commonly used are only one of the minor ones. But when you hate something, every little thing can become fuel for that hatred too. Like people who hate Star Wars Phantom Menace (which include me). They hate Jar Jar, they hate the story, they hate the acting. But soon they're saying stuff like, "I hate the backpack Anakin wore", "I hate all those Pod Racers", "I hate how Darth Maul spins in the air", etc.C'mon, you know those aren't the main reasons you hate it right? Its just that your hatred becomes an irratation that spills onto everything else that has to do with it.The designs of the Pod Racers or how Anakin's backpack looked like wouldn't have been a factor if the over-all quality of Phantom Menace rocked. I think its the same way with your guy's hatred for Anime. When Assenpfeffer wrote,"And people ask me why I can't stand most anime," I thought to myself that you couldn't possible say that the names WERE THE MAJOR reason when that topic comes up. Its probably the eyes, or the long slow pans, or something usual haters say right?Anyways, I just feel a little irratation when someone spills their hatred over to another part of the thing they hate. So, I'm not sure what point or counter-point I'm trying to make here. Its really a shame, one of my favorite anime series has horrible names and costume designs. That's "JoJo's Bizarre Adventures" [the original six parter that is]. My goodness, those costume designs and names are horrible. But man, the story, concept, and everything is so cool. I remember not sitting down to watch it because I hated how it looked and I hated all the little things I've heard about it. Mostly the names. Then one evening I was bored and was willing to watch anything. My friend forced me to watch this thing. He was very insistant. Well, I'm glad I gave it a chance, it was awesome.  But I definitely wouldn't show it to you guys. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I got a feeling that no matter how smartly it was written, you'd walk out on it still disgusted with anime. *shrug* too bad.....missing out on some good stuff. Sure beats what's on most Saturday morning cartoons IMHO.BACK on topic.In response to when I said: WayneLigon wrote: That's what I thought too. But I guess when it comes to certain people they have a criteria that needs to be met. I suppose my friend doesn't feel like he's playing in a fantasy world unless the names are sounding the way he thinks they ought to sound.  :\  Its too bad that , it is that one thing that is keeping him from enjoying the game as much as he could be.</blockquote>
