[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1576645, member: 2205"] Much as I dislike incoherent ramblings about how wonderful and enlightened it is. Non sequitar. Beside the point. See, I actually don't mind Pokemon. Used to watch it with my kids, before they grew out of them. At about age 5 or so. It was reasonably entertaining for a kids show, though. See, that's just plain ludicrous. First of all, [i]television[/i] is the media, anime is a visual and storytelling style that encompasses many genres. But saying that anime non-fans can't get their heads around anime because it addresses all genres of television is just plain wrong. That's like saying we can't get our heads around television because it has so many genres. It's a completely ludicrous position to take, and that's why I don't like ill-concieved anime fans that show up and pretend like anime's something really special when all it is is a style of animation and storytelling. Because anime is just a style, I find it perfectly acceptable to say "I don't like that style, therefore I don't really like anime" without some half-assed excuses about "I just can't get my head around anime, because it's just so rich and expansive and special, like an episode of Blossom." :rolleyes, damn I've missed you today: Save it, pal. I've really tried to like anime. I know a lot of people that like a lot of other things that I do that swear by it, so I've watched a lot of the highly recommended ones. The best I can say for them is that the best of the genre is mediocre -- and by far that is the exception. The rest of what I've seen is so much worse. It doesn't do to paint with an insulting brush and assume that anime is [i]so frikkin cool[/i] that the only way people can not like it is because they are ignorant. :rolleyes again: [/QUOTE]
