I have been collecting anime since 1996... far before it was getting wide spread acceptance anywhere outside Japan. Finding and buying things I wanted was nearly impossible, because the market simply wasn't there.Now with the populaity of anime series I personally dislike, Yu-gi-oh, and Pokemon chief among them, finding things I want, like the Record of Lodoss War TV series, or Berserk Manga, suddenly becomes a much more managable task.I think that anime often gets a bad rap because people can't seem to wrap their minds around a form of media that address all other genre's of television. You'll find hardboiled action dramas, romantic comedies, melodrama, children's shows, slap stick comedy, and yes even porn. I don't like every aspect of anime, but I know where my tastes lie and I buy within the genres that appeal to me... you'll not find any episodes of Dragonball Z or Pokemon gracing my video collection.With that in mind making the blanket statement that you hate anime comes across as ignorant. There's more to it than the stuff you can see on the WB or Reruns of Dragonball Z. If you were to open your mind just a little bit and scratch past the surface I'm sure you'd find something you would like, and I doubt you would even have to investigate obscure series to find something you like. :\ Then again I'm not defending people who cosplay, they are people who need a little help.</blockquote>
