Anime or no?

[Anonymous]

I hate the art style, throughout all mediums. Animation, drawings, anything drawn in the anime style, IMO, is crap.

Define what "the art style" is to you.

Because I'm having a hard time picturing what links the art of, say, Lain, DBZ and Bebop.

call it "stylistic cartoons", that's the best way I can describe it.

If they have a good story and it's just a well played show, then I might watch it.
Not into a lot of it and wouldn't call my self a fan of it, but there's some good shows I've seen.

I've seen some of Cowboy Bebop, Naruto, and some others that I dont remember the names of. Total watch time of all anime is probably less than two hours.

I gave it a chance, I didn't like it, oh well. Nothing's going to change my mind about it. Just not my cup of tea.

I read a chapter of Harry Potter, and the last few pages of The Hobbit, and a few lines from others I don't remember the names of.

I don't see what's so great about books and why people love the crap so much.

You truly are an idiot.

He's saying that you only watching a couple of episodes of some action anime and deciding you hate all anime is the same as him reading a few random pages of books and deciding that he hates all books.

I knew what he was saying. Thanks for calling me an idiot fuckface, not you Tanthias. I'm entitled to my opinion, I don't have to sit and watch a shitload of anime to know I don't like it. I'll call it crap cuz it's my opinion, if you don't like it, go fuck yourself.

"All anime is crap" Is a statement that would require factual evidence to prove. "I think all Anime is crap" is an opinion.

[justhelpmepleas]

How is it not an opinion if I call it crap, that's how I feel about it, so guess what, that's my opinion.

Anime humour pretty much comprises of references to otaku culture which aren't even witty, shounen shows are generally mindless violence with a retarded concept of heroism, moe is a stupid substitute for real relationships for otaku, and the rest is random bullshit (FLCL) that people who are new to anime like because it's the first thing they find and they still like the (cheap) novelty of the art styles. Also, EXPOSITION EXPOSITION EXPOSITION.

That said, Kino's Travels and 5cm (maybe some other stuff too) are exceptions and rock face.

Basically, it's as crap as any other medium. No argument there.

There's a hell of a lot less good anime than good other shit, though.

Sounds to me like someone needs to watch a bit of FLCL.

Which, incidentally is the only anime I've thoroughly enjoyed. Oh, maybe the RotK one too, despite the fact that it's pretty damn bad.

FLCL was definitely amazing. Watch Elfen Lied Elmy, I don't watch anime and I liked it quite a bit.
