[QUOTE="Epametheus, post: 1576539, member: 719"] Heh. I don't even watch American television anymore; if I'm watching something, it's almost certainly subtitled anime that I have downloaded. Hell, I'm waiting on a couple episodes of Full Metal Alchemist right now. Part of the "hate" is a real age gap I can see -- I can't think of anyone I know who's 30 or older that actually likes anime; everyone I know that likes it distinctly falls below that line, even if only by a few years. Much as many from the younger generation loathe hair metal and other music from the 80's, many from the older generation look at what the younger generation is into and wonder what the hell the kids are thinking. Dragon Ball Z seems to be considered to be a the representative of anime (Cartoon Network advertising it as the greatest show on Earth didn't help). DBZ is a [i]terrible[/i] show, and a terrible representative of anime, especially of the newer stuff. Cowboy Bebop and Trigun make much better representatives than the bulk of what Cartoon Network has run. Saikano and The 12 Kingdoms are even better representatives, but there's no way in hell Cartoon Network would ever run those. Much of the things I've seen people complain about in this thread tend to belong to the older, low-budget shows. [/QUOTE]
