[QUOTE="Herpes Cineplex, post: 1576484, member: 16936"] You know, I don't actually have an opinion about "anime." I have opinions about specific [i]shows[/i], the same as I would for any genre of television. For example, Cowboy Bebop is extremely well done, while Trigun is a big pile of ass. However, I'll agree with this: ...because honestly, the hit/miss ratio of anime is as bad or worse than conventional television. Some of the things I've had people recommend to me have just been horrible, to the point where I cannot honestly imagine why anyone would be willing to sit and watch it, let alone act like it's a great show. And the worst of the recommendations always comes from the obsessive fans, who seem to think that anything animated out of Japan is just going to be the coolest thing ever and the only topic worth discussing and "OMG you've never seen this? ^__^ kekekeke" until you want to shove them in a lake. They're just TV shows, folks, not a religion. Most of them are crap. The few that are really good should be watched, the rest should be ignored, same as anything else on TV. -- poor pacing, plots that would shame a soap opera, and tentacle rape <> good show ryan \/\/\/\/ Yeah, but I don't mean "genre" as a defense for bad shows. I'll say it again: [i]MOST TV SHOWS SUCK.[/i] Doesn't matter if they're live-action or animated, doesn't matter if they're animated by a guy in Tokyo or a guy in Fresno. The 20:1 ratio of crap to good TV is maintained across all stylistic and national boundaries. The difference is that you get some clowns who think "anime" is different enough or special enough that it deserves some kind of unique label. And it doesn't deserve any such thing. It's not different, and it's not special. It's just a bunch of TV shows, and only a handful of them are actually something you would care to watch. [/QUOTE]
